the windsor ontario bureau of the canadian broadcasting corporation is where they stick all of the on-air personalities that nobody else wants.
Granted, the current morning show host, Tony Doucette, isn't nearly as irritating as the guy he replaced. Still, it seems not a morning goes by that we don't lie in bed after the clock radio has come on rolling our eyes or laughing out loud at some absurd statement or garbled attempt at describing the weather. This morning's gem (paraphrased somewhat):
Well, you know, a lot of people have blogs. And they write about their day and their life and what they like and what they don't like and about how sometimes life is really hard. Well, three hundred some-odd years ago today, Louis Hebert, Canada's first farmer, arrived here and can you IMAGINE how hard life was for him and his family? (dramatic pause) Somebody should write a novel about that. Or maybe somebody has. I haven't checked.
This was followed immediately by Bill Baker the news guy, Tweedledee to Doucette's Tweedledum, giving the weather thus: "smog advisory today, but that's okay".
These guys are complete idiots, but that's okay. It's only Windsor people who have to listen to them.

The signal spills over the border into Michigan, too.
Sadly.

Ok, you totally just made me laugh out loud. And I was soooo needing a laugh, too. Thank you.

i love that you comment on the cbc on your blog.
for me it's comfort listening (plays in the background as i putter around the kitchen), but there are times that i avoid tuning in too carefully to avoid disappointment... if only it could be full of bill richardsons and marilou findlays and fewer andy barrys and kelly ryans and the moronic-sounding hacks in your neck of the woods.
