Too bad I can't watch him today. They interview Božidar Đelić about Serbia's chance for EU membership. Switch to BBC News. That puts me back to sleep. Awake again at 8:09. Turn on KEXP to listen to Counterspin. They interview Bob Perry about how Republicans Aim Info War At Obama. His article states that Congress is ready to hold some high-profile hearings. Except they won’t be about the most important scandals of the past decade - the Iraq invasion, how the Afghan War was bungled, how torture became a U.S. practice, or how bank deregulation and Wall Street greed nearly destroyed the economy. Uff da. Fried egg and hash browns for breakfast. Up to QFC to pick up a few groceries. While walking back to my place, I see a couple people dressed in Seahawk garb. Ah, yes. Today they play an important game. Turn on Wait, Wait. I know about most of the stories in the news quiz except the one about Usher Vs. The Simpsons. What a laugh!
Usher! You are guilty of plagiarism! Switch to This American Life. They talk about The Invention Of Money. I listen while walking around Capitol Hill. ACT ONE. THE LIE THAT SAVED BRAZIL. They tell the story of how the government tricked 150,000,000 people into believing their money had value again. ACT TWO. WEEKEND AT BERNANKE'S. This is a story about the Fed... creating money out of thin air. Trillions of dollars of money. Indeed, "Money is fiction." Lots of people are playing Frisbee football in Cal Anderson Park. More radio. Yes, friends. I'm a radiophile. Turn on KBCS to hear the Hawaiian Radio Connection. They play a beautiful set of classical Hawaiian music. Switch to KUOW. NPR News reports that Congresswoman Giffords And Others Shot In Arizona. President Obama tells us that She's As Tough As They Come. I hope that she will recover from her assult. Sad world. What's with the violence? Guns? The problems of the world cannot be solved this way. I don't understand violence. In fact, I listen to a podcast to hear an interview with a violent man. I missed Thursday's Weekday - From Hatred To Harmony: A Conversation With A Former Skinhead.
Switch to Rick Steves. "Discovering the world - one taste treat at a time." A lamb's eye tastes like a sweet onion? Ew. What appears gross to one person, is sometimes a gourmet delicacy for another. Rick puts our appetites to the test as an entrée to understanding a culture while two guides who specialize in gourmet travels from their home base in Tuscany describe the comfort foods of Western Europe and travel writer David Farley tells us about his recent foodie trip to Saigon.
Hey! The Seahawks win - 41 to 36.
