And the spin err brainwashing continues - So I'm listening to my fav radio station this morning..... [View all]

I love the format of this channel. Great music for hanging out in the backward. I love must of the DJ's, they answer the phone take requests and give away a lot of good stuff, really cool station. Except the morning guy, he is total idiot but sometimes he his funny.

Anyway this morning I'm listening and he does his news thing and starts on about how the shut down isn't that bad, So some of the national parks are closed. Go to the state parks or the beach. I'm in central florida. So he keeps on trying to sell the "shutdown" isn't that bad.

I was so mad I called told him this shutdown is a big deal for many people. This is not a slim down as some media outlets want you to believe. He was like well call your congress person. I said I did that and I went on to tell him that my family is one of those that is getting crushed. My husband is retired navy, so not vet check or retirement check and he also works for the dod so no paycheck. And this jerk Rick Stacie, is like oh it will all be over in a few days and you will get all your money then. And I am like no, we will only get the money from the va and navy retirement back his pay checks from the dod are different he doesn't get back pay as they were furloughed so it is unpaid leave. We can't afford that.

He asked who I was mad at about this I said our drunken orange speaker of the house and the tea party. So that leads him to go on about Obama-care and how it was bad. I told him the Affordable Care Act rocks, that's why their server crashed everyone wants it.

Then he had to go on the air so he put me on hold. He took to long so I hung up.

I hate to say it but I will no longer listen to 105.9 Sunny in the mornings so long as Rick Stacie keeps spewing his rush-lite agenda. I'll tune at 9am.

Anyway thanks for letting me vent.
