Talk of the Nation is of the same mind…

So yesterday I talked at length about my thoughts about snow days…and aired my grievances about the diminishing number of them. 

Well much to my surprise, one of my favorite NPR programs…Talk of the Nation today talked about this very topic.  Obama weighed in on his thoughts earlier in the day to the media about school being canceled in the Washington area…calling people living in the Washington area wimps…needing to toughen up like Chicagoans. So why not open up the discussion to the Nation?

Eugene Robinson (whom I love for his visits on Countdown with Keith Olbermann) wrote an op-ed column for the Washington Post about the subject and joined Neal Conan on the show today to discuss the issue.  Of particular interest to me was the fact that he is actually a graduate of the University of Michigan (GO BLUE!!!) and he related the fact that during his four years here at U of M there maybe was one day in which Ann Arbor received like 22 inches of snow and classes were only canceled until noon! I feel his pain
