Last night I actuallly accepted a dinner invitation and turned a B+ day into a D. My bit of social adventurism reminded me that I no longer have to suffer fools. (Some days I can barely tolerate myself)

Derangement. That is the only word to explain the twisted and ridiculous opinions of the people I met. This isn't a large city and now I'll have to wear a disguise when venturing out to prevent ever meeting them again.

Liberals! Democrats! Assholes!

In earlier screes I have tried not to get political. I will now break those pledges. There is no moral equivilency between truth and fiction. The 'other guy's' opinion is worth crap if it is WRONG.

Last night was like having dinner with the entire staff of MSNBC. When I visit the Minnesota State Fair and see the radio station booths, or listen to the radio stations of today, or hear stories of radio as it is today from the current broadcasting crop, I don't just get depressed.....I get angry. As an example, KDWB-FM at the fair. A crappy 80's traveling transister (?) radio on the bed of a truck that looked like it carried troops to war in 1942 with windows so small (TINTED?) a sniper could operate from them picking off customers exiting the haunted house. What an embarassment. What an insult to the legacy of Contemporary Radio at the fair. My niece (age 12) loves KDWB. That's because she doesn't know any better. And, as KDWB is an embarassment at the Fair, MSNBC is an embarassment to television news. The fact that Brian Williams and Tom Brokaw are on MSNBC and featured there makes them prostitutes. They are whoring their legacy for a paycheck.

So, here I am having dinner with a couple of Keith Olberman/Rachael Maddow wanna-be's and hating every minute. (I just deleted a couple of paragraphs of their crap. If you want to know what they believe just check out any of the hate-filled, junk on the left-wing blog sites or listen to Keith Olberman on MSNBC.)

I have to stop. I'm starting to get incoherent. All this political stuff is my favorite stuff and I miss it between elections. Political beliefs are like religious beliefs. Much of it you accept on faith and just because you believe. Nothing wrong with that. But HATING someone? That is what has happened to the fools on the left. It seems, in my experience, only liberals will end a friendship over politics. Until now. I don't expect any future invitations to dinner from Keith and Rachel. Thank God. I'd rather slide down a razor-blade banister into a vat of salty-water.

Whew! I feel better now. (No, I don't...but oh well.)

    Many times I am amazed at the lack of tolerance, and hate, as demonstrated with the riot and the attacks on convention goers at the recent convention.

    Sometime I wonder about of the process. It seems we get politicians who promote themselves as liberal, who then become less liberal or moderate when the get into office. The same is true for the conservatives who become moderates or liberal leaning when they get into office.

    Sometimes it appears that money is in control and they let us think we are in control with these elections that don't seem to matter.

    Some friends think I am stupid if I express different political beliefs than they do, so I attempt to avoid political discussions.

    Hope you did not get indigestion. Hope radio gets back on track in my lifetime. Rick B.

    You hit on the problem, Rick. $$$$ That's why the word - "politician" - is a bad word and why radio is so different. (In my mind-fucked up) I am tired of politicians who want MY money. I'll mellow a bit. Today's DJ's just do what they do....radio was screwed up by consultants, sales managers, GM's, and suck-ups. They pocketed millions while shitting in their own nest.
