A short time ago I made the mistake the turning on the radio. Looking for one program, finding myself listening to the Alito hearings instead. Tuning in during comments being delivered by a member of Congress, him sounding like a self-important bag of hot gas, spewing partisan rubbish. Doesn't matter which side of the issue he was on -- it would be clear to anyone who had paid minimal attention to recent disclosures of the candidate's past decisions and writings that the Congressperson was, er, giving short shrift to what some might call objective reality.
This is why I pay as little attention as possible to the political world on this side of the Atlantic -- it doesn't foster peace of mind. Much less trust in fellow humans.
Five or ten seconds after tuning in, I tuned out. Shut the radio off, turned my attention elsewhere.
Much better.
