I made my first foray into the realm of participatory public grumpiness last night. WBZ news occasionally solicits opinions from their viewers, giving an email address to write to about the hot topic of the day. At the end of the broadcast, they read a few. Last night, the topic was Jane Swift and Mitt Romney. My comment, something along the lines of
"I guess I'm supposed to be excited that somebody rich and famous has deigned us worthy of being our Governor. Can we please have some idea of what he stands for?"
was the first one shown. I even got a bemused "okay...." from anchorman Joe Shortsleeve. I feel quite empowered as a citizen right now.
