I found it. Particularly appropriate while listening to my second least favorite personality on my most favorite radio station.

I'm usually an early adapter, number 122,122 on Linked-in, one of the first on Gmail, #239 with a Fastrak, so why did I wait so long to start a Blog. I guess I'm getting old and didn't think the Blogosphere was anything but a cosmic muffin. Having spent a life in Media I should have harkened back to the posts on the sign-posts that defined our early mass communications. So, now with ego in full blossom, here's my blog and who gives a damn?
The hypocrital rant.
Many years ago a genius curmudgeon loudspeaker designer named Paul Klipsch handed out little yellow lapel buttons emblazoned with the one word; Bullshit!. Paul was referring to fact that most loudspeaker designs were marketing driven and derived from a zero gravity environment in contravention of the basic laws of physics. If Paul were alive today he would might well be commenting on lack of integrity, the deterioration of honest discourse and respect for the laws of human interaction in the media. From the the 24 hour cable "news" stations to the blogosphere to the politics at the heart of our nation, the agenda seems to be which errant adolescent can pitch the biggest, loudest and most self serving tantrum. Our culture seems to be driven by a form of attention deficit disorder; "If I don't get enough attention, I get disordered". Even as I write this I am aware of the need to be aggressive and controversial to capture your attention and shamelessly gather readers for this blog. BULLSHIT! Now, where did I stash that little yellow button now that I need it again?
