" Last week, I was stuck in traffic, listening to an inane NPR report about the proposed prescription drug giveaway to the elderly. When they began to interview an old guy who complained about the cost of drugs, the reporter started using her "sad, concerned" voice with the "things are better in Scandinavian countries" overlay filter. (You know the voice.)

I found myself getting angrier and angrier and repeating over and over, alone in my car: "What's his net worth? Tell me his net worth!" Which, of course, they didn't. Because it was probably $1 zillion, like a lot of old people. I shouted: "Why don't we send the money directly to Carnival Cruise Lines and eliminate the middleman?""

What a mindless asshole!
