Breaking the Morning Silence

So, David Gregory is good. Not only at serving as the resident scourge of dissembling White House flacks, but in picking up the pieces in Imusland - where many of us have been relegated to thoughtful morning silence lo these many post-Rutgers weeks (we've been in recovery exactly as long as Governor Corzine). Meditation is a good thing. Listening to the birds is wonderful. But getting the creaky mind working is also good; a happy chuckle or an angry harumph at 6 a.m. is the equivalent of a mug of steaming joe for some of us. A little politics, a little news, some absurdity. No more stupid skits and characters. Works. So Gregory is a find. I find the radio in the "on" position these past few dawns. Wonder if they'll keep him?
