Ep. 79 - 2 Much Politics, 2 Little Love, Voting 4 or Against Abortion and Letting Go Of My Precious Opinions

Welcome to another episode of the laziest podcast in America.. Aka the Modern Moron.  I have lost all desire to meet a self imposed weekly deadline, I again do not have a guest and I plan on putting as little effort as possible into this episode.  In fact I'm basically going to read to you in this election week episode… or is it election month?  I'm going with election month, because we sure as hell are not going to have a consensus by the end of the day or the week and once a consensus is reached you can be equally sure that outcome will be contested. I said I'm going to read to you… not a bedtime story, although that would probably be a better bet.  I'm going to read you most of an article published in …. Should I say where it was published?  It will alienate some of you just by the source won't it?  How about the author?  The author is Arthur C. Brooks is a contributing writer at The Atlantic, a professor of the practice of public leadership at the Harvard Kennedy School, a senior fellow at the Harvard Business School.  He is also the host of the podcast - great another podcast you should certainly listen to before this one - the podcast "The Art of Happiness With Arthur Brooks."  Great.   The Article is titled, "Reading Too Much Political News Is Bad for Your Well-Being; Obsessing over politics could hurt your happiness and your relationships.  If got a couple of opinions to interject here and there, which is ironic because the entire problem this article focuses on is our extreme toxic attachment to our own opinions. Plus an homage to some of our past Presidents. Reading Too Much Political News Is Bad for Your Well-Being; Obsessing over politics could hurt your happiness and your relationships.  - The Atlantic
