DFO Radio: Winter Wonderland

Like many Americans, I’m a bit obsessed with the implosion of our current White House administration.  So much so that I have attempted to restrict my consumption of political news by only allowing myself to read about it while I’m on the toilet (as I feel a Venn diagram of the two activities must intersect somehow).  I came up with this system on Friday, knowing that it would lead to more than its fair share of “here I sit all broken hearted…” moments, but thinking overall it would be a pretty effective way to keep myself focused on more meaningful tasks.  Unfortunately, Robert Mueller got wind of that and declared “Not gonna happen, son.  It’s INDICT NIGHT TONIGHT!”  I thought today might be more manageable, but it looks like Mueller isn’t done dangling shiny baubles in front of me just yet.

Last week’s Request Line theme was “things that are cold” and perhaps it’s because of our Soviet roots, but it’s looking more like the Commentist Party is getting their legs back under them.  I’m going to let the pitchfork-bearing mob make the call on the Request of the Week, which goes to LemonJello for reminding us of Frank Zappa’s advice: “Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow”.  Second prize goes to ArmedandHammered with Jethro Tull’s “Skating Away on the Thin Ice of the New Day”.  And Cuntler garners an honorable mention from me both for his pick (Modest Mouse’s “Styrofoam Boots/It’s All Nice on Ice, Alright”) and for setting me up for the coveted DOUBLE DOUBLE SHOT. Enjoy the short week, folks, and I’ll see you again on Friday.
