A Warped POV by A. Dacosta Brathway

April 28th, Thursday... So I'm reading an article online about Former Secretary of State Condelessa Rice and The Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, did not get along and are now going through the process of "backbiting" each other in the press and in their memoirs. C'mon, is this a secret? Are we to believe that they were ever "warm and fuzzy" towards each other? The positions they held did not dictate "warm and fuzzy" to me.
How could these people get along? The American people were duped into buying two, count then, 2 wars. People lost their lives on both sides and, as a country, we are STILL trying to get out of the stench that is a result of those decisions!
Now we have a Black President, who will never be able to "fix" it!
When will it be understood that the whole damn thing is broken and "business as usual" will NOT repair any of it? Maybe I will read their books and digest all the horrid details about how our government was run by dysfunctional politicians... Wait a minute... Don't you have to be dysfunctional to actually be a politician?

CRAP/My Journal by Al Brathway

October 4th, Thursday/ Last night I went to bed very early, which ment I was going to wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to go back to sleep. So I turned on the radio and tuned on to a sports talk radio station. Hey, I'm into sports! Sometimes I listen to sports talk radio during the day to pass the time. Sometimes it's cool and other times the conversations get real stupid. Well last night the conversation went beyond stupid!/ I've noticed that the hosts of these types of shows seem to get real disturbed when their listening audience doen't agree with whatever they say. Most of the time, after a rant by the host, the listener gets hung up on! Last time I checked that is rude behavior. I guess no one can have a valid opinion, on the radio, but the host? Or, maybe they are supposed to be funny? I got annoyed! Then, the random bantering that goes on and on and on and on... Yeah, I can change the channel, which I eventually did, but... And the losers that call in...! What the hell is wrong w/ people? You know, I could never get past the weirdness of Andy Warhol but he was right about one thing: People DO want their 15 minutes of fame! The callers will hang on the line and wait and wait and wait to be heard on the radio! Last night, two guys fell asleep waiting. They broadcasted the two guys snoring while waiting! I guess that is compelling radio or something./ I know one thing... I will time my going to bed better from now on. I will also avoid listening to sports talk radio from now on. Hell, I might just stop watching sporting events altogether. If I cannot be entertained by sports, I might as well watch and listen to world news... That's where all the comedians seem to be these days!/ CRAP!
