I am back. I find it hard to believe that I went the entire year of 2013 without a post. What sucks is that many interesting things happened that I should have written about but never did. Maybe later I will give a 2013 year in review blog. It is time to get down and get serious, well sort of.
For the past six months or so I have forced myself at work to listen to talk radio as listening to music makes the day just drag. Well actually it is just diversion noise while I concentrate on my job but To maintain my reputation as a moderate I listen to both sides of the aisle. Lefties in the morning and righties in the afternoon. With apologies to my friends on the right I can tolerate Rush, even though he is a pompous buffoon, and I actually sort of like listening to him but Hannity?? Oh boy does this guy get my blood boiling. He rants and raves about the same stuff every day. He has the same guests on over and over, usually Ted Cruz and Kim Coulter, as no one else will talk to him. Heaven forbid he actually has both a righty and a lefty guest on at the same time as he will let the righty speak his mind without interruption but will talk over the lefty all of the time. Just drives me nuts.
Sean pisses and moans about NY State not fracking for gas and oil. If it were up to him this country would be a pin cushion. Holy Oil Wells Batman!! Why do we have to drill out NY's gas now? I would like to believe that we are smart we New Yorkers are waiting for the technology to get a bit better and when everyone else's gas runs out we will be there to save the day. At least that is how I look at it. If we can frack cleanly I will be for it but right now there are too many issues involved with it. There will be a time when it can be done cleanly and that will be the time to drill. The resource isn't going anywhere Sean. And stop calling us stupid for not turning our state into the Holey Land.
Our friend Sean is an adamant anti Global Warming advocate. If he is wrong and we do nothing we are screwed. What is wrong or stupid with wanting clean air? If we take steps to clean our air and he is right? So what as we are better off with a cleaner atmosphere. You have to realize that the gases we are pumping into our air, especially Carbon Dioxide and Methane, specialize in keeping heat in the air. The warmer the air the more water vapor it can hold and that is an even stronger greenhouse gas. The biggest issue that can affect us in the near future is if the Greenland Ice Sheet melts even faster it will make the cold Labrador Current's water fresher, and less dense, than the rest of the ocean. Thus could lead to it cutting off the denser and warm Gulf Stream, which keeps Europe relatively mild, and leading us into a man made little ice age. Who would have thought that warming the earth could cool it off? This year we are having one of our colder winters. We were due for this, warming or no warming, but Sean is using this as proof that global warming is a bunch of shazit. During the last few winters I was golfing into December and January but those winters do not exist in his narrow mind, just this winter. It is really cold out so Global Warming is crap..what he hasn't mentioned once is that the Southern Hemisphere is going through one of its hottest summers ever. Australia is frying and South America is boiling. Oh, that is right. In Sean's little mind the Southern Hemisphere does not exist, only the USA and its closest allies. If we are cold right now then Global warming is crap. While your King leans toward the theory of Global Warming, though I am freezing my arse off, we should take steps to clean our air even if the Warmers are wrong.
Now Sean's favorite target of his venom is Chris Christie. I happen to like Chris and I don't believe, at least I would like to believe, that he knew what his underlings were doing in regards to the traffic tie ups on the bridge leading into Fort Lee. But, as he is the governor, I still have to hold him a tad accountable as they were his hires. He came right on after the issue came to light and apologized for his underlings stupidity and fired them. Obama should take a cue from that and fire whatever her name is(Nancy Sebilious?) who was in charge of getting the Obamacare Website operational as the billion dollars she gave to that Canadian company that was enlisted to create it was wasted but I digress. I want to believe that Chris would not be dumb enough to do something like that but if it does come to light that he did? Well he will be through as a politician.
I am tired of hearing Sean call people stupid if they don't agree with him. My boss is a staunch righty and we have had good conversations on various topics and even though we may not agree on some issues at least he doesn't call me an idiot..though he may think it. Now you may be thinking why don't I just turn the station? I really can't as my choices are limited. I am located in the center of a building and my little piece of shazit radio can only bring in so many stations and the station of talk is the only station that comes in clearly. Talk radio does not bug my co-workers as much as music would and as I have said before, listening to music breaks the day into three minute segments and that makes the day..just...drag. Besides they have their little ipods plugged into their ears so they do not care. Your King, however, is still technologically behind the times and desires to remain so.
I do have to give Sean credit though as when he gets my blood boiling it revs me up to finish off the afternoon strongly. Even when I do agree with him on a point, about once a month or so, I feel soiled as I cannot stand the way he presents his ideas. He is an equal opportunity hater as he hates both Democrats and Republicans. I actually think he would like to hang John Boehner and what he says about Obama? Whoa boy. I wonder what he says about him when he is off the air. We hear about Benghazi daily and his disgust for the Bill and Hillary Clinton is mind blowing.
I could go on an on but then I would be like Sean and I don't want to be. But then again I called Hannity a dope in the title. I guess I have been listening to him too much.
This is enough for my return though I may have a part two for Sean later on if my nausea for him reaches another high. Have a nice evening.
