some of my friends sit around every evening and they worry about the times ahead

Today I woke up and heard Gary LaPierre on WBZ insert one judgemental pause too many while reading the news. You know what pauses I mean; the ones where he's obviously inserting a mental "tch-tch-tch" or a retching sound in the middle of a sentence. Figuring I no longer needed to put up with someone simultaneously reading me the news and telling me how I should feel about it (seeing as how I haven't needed "Traffic On The 3s" since 2003), I changed the radio over to WBUR.

And it felt so oddly liberating to know that not all the news stories in the Bay State right now involve lurid, gory deaths.

When I was a kid in Ohio, I liked to tune the AM radio dial to distant stations at night. One of my favorites was Jerry Williams on 'BZ. He was a flaming liberal back then, in the early 1970s.
