I NEED A MICROPHONE...THE SHOW PREP IS PILING UP
I've heard someone say it in the past - "90-percent of people don't care about your problems, the other 10-percent are glad you have them" - and for that last part at least, it's been true. I have received some really awful emails from people who are glad that I am out of a job (for the moment), and not on the air. Most of it, I'm guessing, comes from some perceived harm I may have done them by having the opinions I do or the political ideology that I promote. I find it a little funny given what I am reminded of time and time again from these kind of people in the past...they are for the downtrodden, the "little guy" and the like. They are supposed to be the compassionate ones, and I'm part of the "party of greed and selfishness" blah blah blah...
Anyway, keep them coming by EMAILING them to me...I love reading them anyway. I think perhaps it makes them even more angry with me when I respond to them with kindness, understanding, and a general nice attitude...the opposite of what they are expecting, I'm guessing. It makes for an interesting reminder and story in my next job...
Which may be THIS one:
Of course, I applied. Believe me, I didn't write that myself...but it certainly was written FOR me.

"...Experienced full time Talk host needed who's not afraid to shake a
few trees - and exploit what falls out. We need a passionate talk host who can entertain and grow listenership with compelling discussion, stir things up with local talk and be equally knowledgeable about happenings around the country and the world. You need to have strong opinions and convictions, establish (or have) connections that will help you uncover the occasional corrupt politician, but also be able to let your hair down and have fun every once in a while!..."
Of course, I applied. Believe me, I didn't write that myself...but it certainly was written FOR me.

Awww shucks – you are a compassionate conservative. If it were me, I’d repeat the new Kerry campaign slogan to the uncaring 10 percent – “Shove it!”
