The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

It's weird to feel yourself go from reasonably upbeat to despondent in the span of about twenty minutes, for identifiable but objectively inadequate reasons. :(

Is it still manic-depression if your moods swing only from "entirely shitty" to "normal"?

Nope.  That's just normal depression.  Manic is where you suddenly get up and decide to move your furniture out on the lawn.  Then take a chainsaw to it.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The local radio station here that actually didn't have a terrible morning show for the last ~20 years fired the two guys (Lisle and Hahn) and brought in some group of retards from Tulsa to replace them.  "The Billy Madison Show." 

I thought in order to get on the radio, NOT having whiny, annoying voices would have been a requirement, but I guess I was wrong.  Also, for a comedy show, they're astoundingly unfunny.  Lisle and Hahn weren't OMG AWESOME MUST LISTEN or anything, but jesus....these new guys are embarrassingly bad.

Yep they're gone, and it's weird not hearing them on the radio in the mornings when I check to see what's on KISS.

I guess their ratings were dropping.  I just can't see how OMGLOL I JUST GOT PEPPER SPRAYED IN THE STUDIO HERE DIDNT YOU HEAR THAT SPRAYING NOISE AND THE SCREAM LOLOLOL is going to get those ratings back up though...

Edit:  Imagine the above in a high pitched, breaking voice.  That's the KISS morning show experience now.

:(  I will still do the primal scream every Friday in their honor.  It just won't be nearly as awesome because I'm not John Lisle.

Radio morning shows suck?  Thanks for the report from 1985 guys.

:P

I just listen to the station that doesn't have a DJ at all.  No make-work for scumbags.

Man.  Blah.   :(

I need to get a new occupation of something that doesn't have me in the car listening to the radio at any time between 6 -9am now.   :P

That's the whole thing:  The old dudes were one of the only ones I know of that didn't suck terribly.  There's also the dude on one of the classic rock stations who is pretty much just a regular DJ who talks a little more and has the occasional call in contest for concert/Spurs/Cowboys/Alamobowl/whatever tickets.  He's alright, but goddamn when he laughs....well let's just say he seems to smoke a lot.  He's not coughing or anything, but you can hear the phlegm in there (or at least I can).  "Augh goddamn, Crash.  Stop laughing."

I dunno.  Maybe I've just been catching the new crew at bad times or something.  This morning, that stupid pepper spray bit just annoyed me enough to trigger the posting response.

I've switched Radio station this fall. It's the same old funny crew at my original station but they started playing more music and I guess I'm too old to listen to the kids music on a regular basis so I've switched to talk radio.

You guys still listen to radio? :huh: That's like reading newspapers.
