Who the hell is Fred Barnes?

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

I’m going on vacation in four weeks. We are heading out to Virginia/Washington D.C. area. I’ve been there three times for work. Caught a few sites but not many. My wife has never been there. We are really looking forward to the trip.

This morning at coffee one of the guys asked me a hypothetical question. Who would I like to bump into and say “Hi?”  He expected me to name someone he knew. You know…  a big name. I assumed that it should be someone who might actually be walking the streets for me to bump into. Not so big of a name.

I said, “Fred Barnes.”

My friend looked at me very puzzled and said, “Who the hell is Fred Barnes?”

Don’t feel bad Fred. He didn’t know who Chris Matthews was either.

In fact, most of the people I come into contact each day don’t watch cable news. At all. They don’t read blogs and they sure don’t twitter. Yet, somehow they manage to get along quite well. At times I even envy them.
