Stick to what you know.
Yesterday I spent an hour or so listening to NPR, then I switched over to The Ticket (sports radio) because I wanted to hear what to expect in the NFL that day. But instead, the sports announcers decided that they wanted to only talk about Saddam and not talk about football. I almost ran my car off the road when one guy said "I wish I could be a fly on the wall when Bush meets Saddam one on one. I wonder what they'll have to say to each other."

And it only got hairier when the other sports announcer said -- and I swear I'm not making this up -- "I hope Saddam rats out Osama. I hope he tells the US where that guy is." Yeah, like Saddam and OBL are big buddies.

Please, can't people just stick to what they know? I don't turn on a sports channel to hear politics ... especially from people who obviously don't have a clue what they're talking about.
