tapping into the soundbite gene

i'm not a good sound biter.

that deficient skill was tested today when i was asked my opinion on a controversy brewing in pennsylvania: do i support a local politician's intent to organize a fundraiser on september 11? (apparently his constituents didn't, and the politician cancelled the event) and what is my stance on a golf tournament being organized on that day?

i offered my opinions to the journalist, and hoped i was reasonably articulate and clear. i'm looking forward to seeing the article in the times-leader. it was good practice for the radio interview david and i gave an hour later. begin the onslaught!
