Radio.

I had to drive to Six Flags to pick up my little sister on Saturday. NPR was airing my least favorite show ("Prairie Home Companion"), so I flipped through my mom's preset channels and wound up listening to Fox Radio talking about how Obama has magical Jedi powers because he's getting people to agree about a ~terrible~ healthcare plan. The radio host kept talking about how people in Britain wait OMG FOREVER to see a doctor, so I called in to say, um, no, I went five times in six months and always got appointments within a week and waited ten minutes to see the doctor.

Why is it that I can always successfully call in to conservative talk radio shows, but never manage to call into "Science Friday" or "Talk of the Nation"?



So unfair.

A guy called in a while before I did to talk about how we shouldn't give Medicare (or is it Medicaid?) to poor children because it's their parents' fault, and, completely seriously, said that he would not save a drowning child because that was parental irresponsibility.

This is why Fox News used to be my alarm clock.
