Today is my birthday, and I'm working at home--not because it's my birthday, but because I had an early call that went long and I decided to stay put rather than go to the office. My mom just called to wish me a happy birthday and, as often happens, babbled her way into sensitive conversational territory. This time it was Glenn Beck (who probably didn't really get fired but just quit because he's working on all this special stuff and is off doing that), and FoxNews.
So I'm using the tactic of being totally silent (because it's my !@#%ing birthday and I'm even less into going there than normal, and being totally silent works about as well as saying "uh-huh" or changing the subject but requires less effort), and she's telling me how FoxNews is all fair and balanced, but you don't know that unless you watch it.
"It's like how people say the LDS church is weird, and a cult," sez Munchymomom. "If they'd go to our meetings, they'd see it's not weird. If it was weird, I wouldn't belong to it."
Good grief, happy birthday to me. Just sharing the weirdness. :)
