Brothas gonna work it out

1. what was your worst job? why? You tend to forget the bad times at your past jobs, but right now, its WSB. Its amazing you can work at the #1 station in the market, and one of the strongest stations in the country, and still hate it. I guess they got to number one by treating people like numbers. Just a warm body to fill a spot. I have so much resentment and bad feelings built up from my time there. I also had shit jobs like KFC and Golden Corral, but you take those at face value... a high school/college job, not really your career.

2. what was your best job? why? CNN. Every-fucking-thing. My co-workers are great, the money's good, the benefits are phenomenal. I always give thanks to uncle Ted.

3. are you looking for a new job now? Nope, and I pray I won't ever have to again. I've been in that desperate situation before. Too qualified for some jobs in your field, and underqualified for the better ones.

4. when did you get the job you have now? if you're unemployed, how long have you been without a job? I've been here about 2 years.

5. have you ever been fired from a job? what happened? Just once. My "business relationship" with a certain bottom-dwelling station ended because the piece of shit station couldn't afford to keep a morning show afloat, so they laid off everyone involved with it, plus a few others. Now, their ratings have never been lower! Good for them. In the words of John Lennon, "Time wounds all heels."

6. have you ever had a horrible, back-stabbing colleague? Hello? I work in TV.

7. have you heard of or ever been involved in a an office scandal at your work? Nope, why put a target on your back. Keep your nose clean, and do your job and go home. Keep your personal shit out of work. If we're friends outside of work, let me help you with your problems, but if we just happen to work at the same place... keep yo shit to yo sef.

8. what's your dream job? Producing at ET, extra or one of those cheezy entertainment shows.

1. Considering your political views now versus seven years ago, do you think they have changed or remained the same? Yeah. Pre-9/11 I had a small interest in politics, mainly because of my job. Post-9/11, there are Americans dying, here and abroad, and that changed things for me. After the Iraq War started my view of the President changed altogether. When 9/11 happened, and the president said "go travel, help the economy," I took a trip. I looked to him as a leader. He betrayed me and all those who died that day.

2. Should a president be allowed to run for a third term? Not a consecutive one. If they're so good, they could sit out one term, then run again.

3. Do you think a president would be able to accomplish more if he could only be elected to a single term?
Nope. Besides the war, the president doesn't stay one one item that long anyway. What happened to the failing social security system? Is it back to being OK now? What about that big wall that was going to keep all the Messikans out? To me that's evidence that the issues are just notches on an agenda. To hell with the lives that are affected.

4. Take the quiz: Which political group most agrees with you? Well, I knew that I'm closest to the Libertarians because their approach to government is the same that your mama taught you as a kid: "Do what you want, just don't hit your sister." In all fairness, that quiz is hosted on a Libertarian website, so I assume most of those 8 questions will point you in that direction. I do agree with them that both Republicans and Democrats are fundamentally flawed, and neither has the answer to everything. And just from my own discussions with people, I believe the majority of Americans are fiscally conservative and socially moderate. Issues like gay marriage, evolution and flag burning are good for nothing but polarizing people. They're just more fodder for Rush and O'Reilly to call people hippies or for the liberals to call someone a religious zealot.

5. Can you imagine ever running for office? With the plethora of skeletons in my closet? Sheeeit. Seriously, I could never run for office because the main job of a politician is to hold out his hand and ask for money *before* they do a job that they can't guarantee they'll get done. Imagine walking into a McDonalds and giving them $5 for your Extra Value Meal and the pimply-faced teen replying, "I'll try my best to get that for you. No guarantee you'll get it. If you don't get it, blame those fuckers in the back, not me."

6. Let’s suppose that you were a candidate, and that you found some real dirt that no one else knew about your opponent. If that candidate started a negative campaign against you, how tempted would you be to use that information? Depends on the opponent. I'd pull him aside and let him know I have the info. Then he would have to a)acknowledge it publicly himself, trying to control the spin or b)tone down his negative campaigning or c)be a punk bitch and feel my wrath.
