Radio Goo Goo Radio Bla Bla

I spent most of today in my car. Downtown traffic. Gardiner traffic. Mississauga traffic. City traffic. Took a break from the roads to visit with the family, and then made my way back home. My companion? 680 news. Today's top stories:

1. Karla Homolka's getting out of jail after 12 years and no one wants her on the streets
2. Gurmant Grewal, the man who claims Liberals offered him and his wife payoffs for his budget vote, may have doctored his secret tapes
3. A New Brunswick man was sentenced to three years in prison after lying to police about a shooting spree to get free surgery in jail
4. Two innocent women were shot outside the Yorkdale subway by stray bullets (In related news, the new wing is definitely worth checking out!)
5. The teachers union and the board of education are taking a few days off from the bargaining table
6. Hockey talks resume and a deal may be closer than ever

By the time I drove home at 1:30 a.m. I wanted to shoot myself. When I heard about that New Brunswick man for what seemed the thousandth time, I shouted frantically at the little black box I had grown to despise. Ya I know! I yelled aloud. You've told me a dozen times already!

Did nothing at all happen in Iraq today? How bout Israel? The States perhaps? Not even BC? Switching to CBC didn't help much. They told me the same ol' crap every hour on the hour too. It's like they choose a few wire stories in the morning and stick with 'em all day long, never changing it up, never straying from the boring program for even an instant. Someone needs to revamp radio news. Maybe it should be me.
