My Two Cents

MY TWO CENTS

*I THOUGHT I was rough until I read some of your comments regarding Pat Thurston. A few of you need to tone down the volume. This is not war and peace; it's a media blog. I welcome and encourage disagreement but don't get all vitriolic and calling names. It's petty and pretty ridiculous and it doesn't belong here.

*Thurston elicited quite a bit of response which means she's at least on the radar. Better that then no response at all. It means she's doing her job. I don't agree with a lot of her politics but she's got me interested enough to where I listen and react one way or another. In the talk radio genre that's good SOP.

I mentioned on Monday that Thurston is a damn good interviewer and I'm not talking about the movie guy. I've heard her one-on-one with some authors and politicians and she doesn't back down. And she and John Rothmann are superb on the weekend. If you're going to lob personal insults that's my department --(said with mild tongue and cheekitus)

*I can't fathom all you armchair psychologists who just automatically diagnose Mike Shumann without even knowing nor even hearing his explanation on the alleged theft incident involving the Warriors' security guy in San Antonio.

I'm going to write later how Shumann was screwed and was kangaroo-courted by a vicious combination of social media, accusation based on hearsay, and a mother of all rush to judgement. Just a few. My blood is boiling over this one.

*That guy that peddles the fake pillows on TV and radio is an ultra right-wing nut job that's a full Trumper and fervent anti-woman's right to choose bozo now more than ever I'll get my pillows somewhere else.

*Just because I credit Lee Hammer for something doesn't mean I'm suddenly one of his boot lickers. I'm not. I've ripped him enough times here that when he occasionally does something good, I'll also give him credit. Its not good blogging to constantly rip for rip sake. Boring as hell too.

See ya later.
