I apologize to my readers

For ignoring events in my own back yard.

Apparently, Tony Snow can be heard on a radio station in town (the big establishment 50,000 watt radio station) pitching -- I'm not kidding -- aluminum siding.
In my defense, I never listen to WHO radio because it has only three different programs:

1. Idle Des Moines related chit-chat that no human being should be expected to tolerate. It's audio waterboarding.

2. Right-wing blowhards like Rush Limbaugh and their local former sports guy, who if they ever gathered in the same place may go all neutron-star.

3. Iowa Hawkeye masturbation.

There's a fourth reason, I don't listen.

I breathe with my mouth closed.
