Mommy The Journalist

This was the first call I took today (Halloween). The verbatim isn't 100% accurate, but you'll get the gist. Happy Halloween?

Caller: Who does sports there?

Me: We have several sports people but they don't come in until later in the day.

Caller: Oh, well who can do a story on wrestling?

Me: We don't typically cover wrestling. Can you give me more information?

Caller: I won ring-side seats to a wrestling match with John Cena...

Me: Let me stop you right there. We don't promote events on other networks.

Caller: Oh, well I understand. But I still want y'all to let me give him a shoutout and wish him luck.

Me: We don't do those types of things.

Caller: I don't understand why not. I just want to tell him good luck.

Me: We're not interested.

Imagine how fed up you are with seeing stories on the partial government shutdown and the near debt ceiling fiasco. Multiply that by 100 and you get how fed up I am with the whole thing.

Even now that it's all over, there are still stories to be done on it. I hope that those stories being done by local media and the networks will shed light on the frivolity of the whole situation. And I hope that Americans remember not only this budget battle but also last year's near default when they head to the polls in the next election.

It's time for us to stop calling on Congress to make a change when it's obvious none of them plan on crossing the center aisle any time soon. Any changes we wish to see on Capitol Hill will have to come from the voters.

Hi, I'm Ashton! I'm your mom friend who's probably overdressed for the occasion, would rather drink Mountain Dew than wine, and definitely stayed up too late reading last night. Thanks for joining me on this crazy journey!
