Healthy Radio Addiction

At some point or another we have all had this happen to us...unless you don't listen to the radio. Imagine you are on your way somewhere. Maybe you are heading to work, to church, shopping, etc. On your way there you are listening to your favorite radio station and rockin' out to your favorite song..."Baby, baby, baby ohh! Like baby, baby, baby noo!" Err...umm. Yeah, so you are listening to your favorite song, you arrive at your destination and you realize that the song is only half done! Oh noes! So what do you do? "Obvi" (yeah, I used it) - you can't just get out of the car like a 'normal' person and go about your day...no, you must stay in your car and finish the song! Duh!

As you can probably imagine this happened to me today on my way into work. My "song" this morning wasn't actually a song though, it was a great conversation on KTLK about political polls. Wow...OK so I just re-read that last sentence and realized how dull that actually sounds - the Bieber song is starting to sound more exciting =(  For those of you who don't know KTLK is talk radio. Anyway...stop rolling your eyes plz...there was a good conversation about political polls and how you should question each of them regardless of the publisher. I have to say that I agree...I mean it is just like we are taught in statistics - when you are provided data, graphs, polls, etc. you should be skeptical as to where the data came from and who was sampled, etc.; there is always a way to skew the data to fit your needs.

So, have you ever been traveling somewhere and you stay in the car that extra minute or two just to finish that rockin' song, stimulating conversation or maybe that last Twins at bat?

"Baby, baby, baby ohh! Like baby, baby, baby noo! Like baby, baby, baby ohh! I thought you'd always be mine, mine (oh oh)" --- good luck getting this out of your head today :P
