"Make the liberal media stop censoring the news!"

So bleated the bumper sticker on the car parked next to mine at the grocery store.

Had it not been for my bag of frozen stuff I'd have waited for the driver. Really wanted to ask "What liberal media?" Seriously, up until last year we had exactly two hours a week on local radio, a two-hour slot on Saturday afternoon; but that ended, and it's now all con, all day. And the paper is little more than the PR organ of the drilling industry.

So, yeah, given this sheer lack of liberal pervasiveness, I would have enjoyed hearing about what news got 'censored'.

Yeesh.

Watching C-span

He's holding forth on climate again, this time without a snowball. But he's still painfully difficult to listen to. I actually feel bad for his staffers, can't imagine what working in his office must be like. As incredibly stupid as he comes across, the more frightening thought is that there are people who agree with him and voted for him.

And I write this from the state that replaced climate activist Mark Udall with environmental hazard Cory Gardner.

My brain hurts.
