Radio-active

[Carl in Michigan]

As I spend way too much time driving (which I hate), and I tire of the music stations quickly, I usually end up listening to whatever talk radio stations are in range. These are usually sports talk stations, but sometimes those dumbasses are just too much to take, so it's local news/talk or even - I'm ashamed to admit - NPR. There are occasionally interesting topics raised even if they are rarely handled well.

One topic overheard today: An economics professor discussing the idea that many working moms spend more on daycare and associated costs than they make at their jobs, meaning remaining stay-at-home moms is a more viable option than many people realize. There are also many benefits to the family in having a stay-at-home parent raising the children.

You should tune into Rush. Give him 6 weeks and you'll find the answers you seek

Was there some question about the "OFF" button?

Was there some question about the "OFF" button?

Of the button itself?

No.

Only about your mystifying inability to find it. Or is more an issue about not understanding how to use it?

I've found that listening to rightwing radio while driving helps keep me alert and it sure doesn't hurt when it come to debating low intelligent liberals.

You are a unique snowflake.

So sad that the radios in today's Jap-mobiles don't have any "OFF" button!

Or is is that they're too hard to find?

This is a relevant comment - for 1984.

When did I ever indicate a problem finding or using it?
