party queen, if you want to be seen

Dear AP,

Crap like this is why independent media gets my attention and my business.

How is that important? HOW?

No love and no respect,
Me


Also? I love KPFT and Democracy Now, but primary season isn't even over yet, and I am already tired of electioneering and such. Still. So much love for Gloria Steinem debating gender and race issues. Because instead of devolving into petty bickering, the participants actually, you know, communicated. I can't think any new dialogue between the two camps will make a difference in terms of the Obama/Clinton dynamic - there seems to be too much acrimony between them for them to make good running mates - but still, it was nice to hear. Instead of mudslinging, y'know?

I'm with you there. When the news comes on at the top of the hour ( on the radio ) the first thing they've talked about ( or second on some days ) has been Britney. - Whoo bloody well cares. There is a world out there and all they can give us is that messed up woman. * sigh *

Yeah to Democracy Now and KPFT. ( just downloaded todays broadcast of D.N. )

I think we vote here in Oh. in March. Sounds like a long way off.

I can't believe AP is wasting their resources on it. But I turned on the Today Show this AM, and of course one of the in-depth things was about Britney missing the latest courtdate. WHAT. EVER.

Once I would love to have a show start and have them say something like...

"Good morning and our top stories will have nothing to do with Britney and her problems. Now to the world news."

But that won't happen.
