I don’t want to sound heartless…
Yesterday 106.7 the Fan hosted an all-day radio telethon, raising money for some very worthwhile charity that I can’t recall that much about.
This whole telethon on the radio thing is nothing new. Other stations do it and I can understand that the hosts of various talk shows in the local and national markets have charities that are near and dear to the hearts. And they are perfectly within their rights to use their platform to increase awareness of whatever charity they deem fit.
That said, I just can’t listen to these stations when they do a telethon like this. I hate to sound heartless, but hearing the various station personalities on the air, asking for my donation like it was a PBS pledge drive just makes me want to flip over and see what the other guys are talking about. And as I do, I feel totally heartless for doing so…but dammit, these telethons aren’t why I tune into the station.
Go ahead, call me a heartless, uncaring jerk and we can all move on…

As far as astrology goes, I have found that it really helps me to know who I am likely to get along with in advance.
