I can't wipe the smile off my face. Judy Woodruff looks like she lost her best friend this morning. I was listening to CBS news on the way into work, and the news guy was full of dire warnings, using very negative words. He said something about Trent Lott talking and the agenda in the Senate under the Republicans, and that it mirrored what President Bush's agenda was. Imagine that, a Republican president and the Congress held by Republicans, and the agendas match. Well, I really must get some work done today...
I don't have a TV so didn't get to enjoy watching the reactions of the Judy Woodruffs and Aaron Browns of the "vast wasteland." But this morning on the way to work I listened a fair amount to NPR to hear their whines. Quite satisfying, really, but I think I need to hear more.
This morning when I got here I was talking to our department secretary and said that I was very happy with the results. She was too and we went into our first political discussion. She said that our boss, the guy who sends out those awful anti-Bush e-mails, went into depression after the 2000 elections and she expected that he would be extremely downcast and may go back into depression.
She is so fed up with him sending out those e-mails and told me that many others are too. One former teacher was so angry about it that she finally had it out with him and made it clear that she wanted none of it.
Well, I have a real estate contract to sign in an hour and a half so I better get on the road.
