Asshat of the Day Award

The news reader for my local public radio station has to be the worst news reader ever. She butchers names of people and places. She takes odd pauses and with such frequency that the story is rendered nonsensical. She once described a reading/radio service as being a special service for people who can't turn pages . . . not blind people who can't read the daily news paper or magazines or other print only media.

Every year, during their fund drive, I am tempted to offer to donate a rather large sum on the condition they fire this woman.

But, it got personal the other day. No, not when she pronounced Obama's first name as "bear-aaaack" but when my alarm went off at 7:19, I awakened to her voice saying that it was "just a minute before 6:20am." I immediately thought "oh crap, did I forget to reset my alarm?" But, no, the clock said "7:19." Then, I fished out my cell phone from the pile of candy wrappers that magically appear beside my bed each morning . . . and it said, by this time, "7:20."

Yep, ASS HAT.

Maybe she is the fiend to puts the candy wrappers around my bed too?
