Listening to MPR Mid-Morning on my way in to work, they had an interview with the author of a new book on Cleopatra. I never had much interest, but the author sounded pretty cool. She had a funny but not overstated sense of humor and quoted E.B. White regarding how she manages to stay objective: "strong curiosity, weak affiliation". I also identified with her comment about her poor recollection that serves to further remove her biases, which is an interesting way to think about that attribute in a positive way.
You know, I'd be so much more inclined to donate to MPR if there wasn't such liberal bias in a lot of their content. Kerri Miller certainly slants that way when talking about the need for government to "help", but randomly tuning in over lunch yesterday there were antagonistic pricks spouting off liberal rhetoric that made me think "screw these bastards, they can get their funding from FedGov if they think that way".
