You talk too much. You worry me to death.

It’s the weekend and time to have a few friends over for the evening. A great time to rekindle friendships. So, you have a few of your closest friends over for snacks, drinks and conversation. But when you’re having fun time slips away. It’s getting late but conversation continues. And talk is not letting up. One topic begets another and the yapping seems endless into the late evening and on into the early morn. Consequently the clock on the wall is completely ignored for the sake of fun and sometimes interesting conversation.

However as talk continues, you and your guests get to the point where you are mindlessly repeating yourselves. Saying things you had covered earlier but might have forgotten. But to make conversation a bit more interesting, you slip in a little hyperbole or a half truth. Then conversation gets to the point you and your gests are saying things all of you have no idea what being said. Basically making things up. Just for the sake of continuing the conversation. Mostly silly nonsensical talk. Just Bla bla bla. Indicating it’s past time to send your guests home and you go to bed.

Now, here is my point. The very same thing happens with talk hosts on talk radio and late night talk TV. They get to the point where all available topics have been covered many times . Consequently the conversation must continue. Continue with hyperbole and half truths. Remember our conversation above? The same happens with talk radio and TV. In order to talk two or three hours a day, five days a week much of the conversation is packaged in processed baloney. Exaggerations, untruths, rumors, and manufactured dialogue.

And this is true with both conservative and liberal talk. You can only say so much without saying something contrived. Contrived for the sake of filling all the blank spaces. Filler words to prop up the conversation. Again, filler otherwise known as baloney. BS, horse shooie, and word crap. Stuff finally resulting in basic misinformation and “Tabloidism.”

And the bottom line in “Talk Radio” is to create controversy in order to sell advertising. Selling and making money is what Talk Radio is all about. Nothing else. It’s a business and no one cares how the money is made. Just bring it on. Say something stupid and make a buck. It’s as simple as that.

Talk Radio is worthless senseless ooze from the horses rear end. Never ever believe what you hear on Talk Radio. Radio the way it was not meant to be. Today’s talk radio has spiraled down into a black hole of empty rhetoric and hyperbole. Just basic cow splat on your living room floor.

Where’s Fibber McGee and Molly when we need them? We need basic entertainment. Not horse feathers. In the meantime, turn off the radio and TV. Talk radio is for hollow headed bimbos. Go get your newspaper and read.

What are they thinking? Or, are they?

I don’t understand. Someone please help me. How did the subject of contraception make its way into the political conversation? And one has to ask, why now? Birth control has been going on for centuries. Birth control, as we know it today, have been used since the early 1950s. And, I’m pretty sure, used by tens of thousands of faithful Mass going Catholic women as well as millions of other American women. Possibly even some men. Who knows.

But anyway, how has this come up? It’s almost like a controversy sprung right out of the ground. “Here I am. I’m your new hot button. Red and blistering. Get use to it.”

But as we all know, these issues don’t happen by accident. They are contrived. Manufactured by political strategists. A smoking bomb meant to distract. Solely used as a partisan tool to substitute for the lack of real people issues.

then the hot button fuse is lit and tossed into the political arena. A exploding bomb creating confusion and fear on impact. Uncertain folks Hiding from the fall out of consternation. Something like a roadside bomb.

Don’t get me wrong. Practicing birth control is a legitimate concern but not a political issue. This is a private matter. A decision to be made by women and their doctors and Pastors. This is no place for politicians to become involved. It’s a moral question and not a legal one.

In these days when people want less intrusion from government, this issue is quite the opposite. It is intrusion magnified by partisanism. It’s government intruding where it’s legislative nose shouldn’t be. No government or political body has any business telling women and men what to do or not to do in the bedroom. It’s like if churches can’t control their parishioners, “We’ll get congress to help and do our bidding for us.”

But the truth be known, the contraception issues is just to distract away from real people issues. Issues like health care, education, jobs, environment, conservation, and the list is endless. To say the least, the contraception issue is put in place by severe Conservatives due to a serious lack of real and legitimate issues to pursue. If conservatives can’t come up with real people concerns then, toss in a smoke screen. Do anything. Say anything. Get those freaking liberals off track. It’s our only hope. Distract, distract, and distract.

Certainly the Republican Party could come up with a more humane way to treat the opposition. How pathetic.
