I heard something kind of amazing on the radio the other day, as I flipped stations a DJ said “you’ve just listened to 60 straight minutes of non-stop music. Mostly because due to the unprecedented economic climate, we can’t get anyone to buy advertising.” This was one of those commercial Clear Channel stations too, not some obscure indie channel only selling ads to local tattoo and pizza places.

P.S. I am glad Obama is sticking it to the corporate monsters who continue to buy themselves toys with bail out money, like corporate jets. I just don’t see why he didn’t call Citibank out by name. I appreciate that Obama is a nice guy, but really I think being a little bit more of a dick is in order in this “unprecedented economic climate.”

I am not sure which is more distressing parents abandoning their kids because they can’t take care of them or people abandoning their pets because they can’t take care of them. I think I feel worse for the critters since they can’t possibly understand what’s going on and they often end up dead, injured or worse when people dump them. We don’t “euthanize” unwanted kids or use them for experimentation in labs.

I can’t imagine giving up my kitties. If I lived in a cardboard box I’d still share it with them. I know times are really really awful for people but I wish everyone would think a little more about what they’re doing to creatures that can’t take care of themselves at all.
