little voices

Occasionally, like today, the oven will beep its little happy beep. Telling me to come and check the "Rustic Pear Tart." When I enter the kitchen the voice of our fearless leader is still (he started yammering when I was peeling the fruits) blathering on about how it is okay for Americans to hold military prisoners in order to protect ourselves. *huge despondent sigh*

Does anybody else mouth back? I mean, seriously-- I am yelling at my radio. As if it actually houses the body who is speaking. Now granted I usually am talking to the DJ on WEMU or the host of an NPR segment, but I am worried. Today my music and my news have been interrupted by "breaking news"--apparently he who cannot eat pretzels is reading from a script.

I find myself, raising my voice and making unseemly and snarky comments.

Am I alone in responding to the little voices? *crickets chirping*

Doesn't anyone else feel angry, duped or disappointed? I think in another life I was one of the "crazy people" that get escorted out of Press Conferences. How can all of those journalists and camera people (people I normally respect--quite a bit) just sit there and not shout back? SHUT UP! YOU ARE EMBARRASSING! BE Quiet! You do not speak for me! Go home and clear your brush. Leave my country alone. Honestly. Mebbe he was listening to the voices in HIS head.
