"I want my two dollars"

There having me write this new "moral dilemma" piece almost every night for the show. This means I need to come up with a new moral dilemma every night. Like do you pay the paper kid his two bucks or withhold cuz he's a brat and you need the money? Obviously I don't have that many moral dilemmas, so if you do, I'm all ears.

Here is one: you recently got a job after being unemployed for several months. The job is WAY below your skill level, but the company is putting in effort to train you etc. Then you here from several friends about another opening, one that is fabulous and exciting and slightly above your skill level(but a logical next step sort of thing) and you have semi-insider info that only one other, very unqualified whack job, has applied. Do you apply, cross your fingers and then say sayonara to your current employer of one week? All hypothetical, of course. ;)

2- Is it okay to test out grapes and candy at the stores without purchasing what you tasted?

3- Is it okay to embelish on your resume and make up for it later?

4- Are little white lies ok? Lies that presereve peoples feeling without really dragging you in the moral quagmire?

5- Is it okay to talk about grievences between friends behind there backs, given they keep it in a small circle?

6- Is swearing really not ok?

7- Is it okay to take toilet paper rolls from work?

8- Is it two faced to be curtious to people you despise?

Dave-I can't believe you found me. You said you would, but now you've made me a true believer in your word...

About your situation. That is quite the conundrum. I say let time take its course. The fates may put the two of you together again.

Don't Touch My Junk

I am appalled that so many in my generation are ready and willing to roll over and be sexually assaulted (and let their children be sexually assaulted), give up their rights to privacy and ignore their rights as stated in the 4th Amendment all in the name of supposed security at airports. This new TSA measure is outrageous and ineffective. I did not always feel this way. Like so many others, I didn't see the big deal. However, on more careful examination of the 4th Amendment as well as the many, many assaults that have already taken place, and along with an understanding of the measures we really should be taking to ensure our safety, I have changed my mind. This video is of a man who recorded his experience going through TSA. He asked the TSA agent not to "touch his junk". That's when the TSA agent put him on the no fly list and asked him to step out of line. After questioning he then tried to leave the airport but was told he had to go through the entire procedu...

Adventures in waiting around

I'm waiting for my next live hit (15 minutes from now). I've been training to go live on the air for the past three days. The first part right after you've got your interview is a bit nerve racking. You've got to put it into your comp, edit down the sound bytes, send your best bytes into the system we use (4 good ones), then write and voice a tease, then write a lead, and of course write your story, and have all the tech stuff (sound levels, etc) good to go before you get on the air. But after all that there's a little down time after the first hour (and so here I am). I'm currently parked out in front of the KSL studios in the truck with my equipment. I took some time a bit earlier to lay down for 5 minutes under a nearby tree on the edge of the parking lot. As I lay under that tree I contemplated just how many homeless people may have been in the exact spot I was actually laying in just then. Then a large man dressed in black (probably a waiter for som...

Hello Again

I've been conspicuosly absent from this site and thought it was high-time you all got an update. This last week's been an incredibly busy one. My series on Polygamy (The Real Big Love) debuted on the Nightside Project . They played it again several times in the morning and pretty much plugged it all day. Some people are talking award-winning. I really enjoyed putting it together, too. I also got to shoot one of my interviewees with an airsoft gun and we had our Nightside one year anniversary since we've officially been on the air. We're marking that celebration with a fun show tonight. We're pretending to pull archived tape of stuff we've done through the decades. I made mine on Who Shot JR. Oh, and one other thing I'm not supposed to mention, but I'll mention to you. They're talking syndication. By the end of the month we'll broadcast the show on our sister stations in Phoenix, Seattle, and (just for you east coasters) WTOP in DC.
