The last day of the year and I am driving on Route 9 here in the People's Republic of Massachusetts from Wormtown to the Holy City of Noho. This is truly a privilege as I get to listen to the radio and go from the loony right to the vapid left in one drive.
First up is Mr. Peter Ingemi, DaTechGuy on WCRN. He did not talk tech, but politics as is his wont. He sounds like what he is, a tea partier who was downsized and moved on. He does not like Ronnie Paul because he won't save us from the muzzies or something.
As Worcester receded, and I got closer to Happy Valley. Mr. David Pakman's voice got clearer on WHMP. He is a bit more focused in his weltanschaung. Ronnie had misgivings about evolution and ergo is not fit to be president. Your man has a point. Washington, Adams and Jefferson never heard of Darwin and they sucked as presidents and human beings.
Saturday is a talk radio ghetto. I may have been one of the pairs only listeners. Guys in working class Worcester are out doing something. The cool people out west are listening to Bob and Ray, I mean Tom and Ray and Car Talk from the Ministry of Information.
It has been a hard few years for our country. The average person's net worth is way down. Still, no matter how hard it is, there is no one in this country so poor that they cannot afford an elephant in their living room to ignore. The president has signed the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012. If you agree with Glenn Greenwald, this is about as big a deal as it gets constitutionally.
El Presidente signs it today and nada from either Mutt or Jeff. Now, I suspect the techie likes it because, gosh, we gotta be secure and he is always tired of hiding under the bed. The bad news is who signed it.
Pakman, it is a little tougher. You had George Bush and all his wars and now you have the demi-god and the wars have not changed (other than some cosmetic withdrawls). An honest man would have to say Obama was a fraud. Well, an honest man would say that.
As we head into the 12th year of the Bush/Obama administration maybe Rodney King couldn't get us to all get along, but there is at least some consensus in the Ingemi/Pakman Axis.
I believe in evolution, but opposing the NDAA and not believing evo is okay with me. Being for NDAA and believing in NDAA is evidence of personal devolution.
David Pakman does his best to be the smarmiest guy on WHMP. The competition is fierce. Learn more about him here.
You can learn more about Mr. Ingemi here.
In truth, I may have not heard it because I was listening in the car. If I am mistaken and they took the issue on, they have my apology. If Mr. Pakman called Obama on it, I'll need a pacemaker.
