 How many people really go to a city council meeting or follow the proceedings of the state legislature? Not near enough. Not near enough. I'm kind of a C-SPAN junkie if I've got to be doing my typewriter or my computer work. I've got C-SPAN on in the background. Because you know what? I want to hear that three-hour hearing on Capitol Hill. I don't want a news, especially a mainstream news analyst, to give me 20 seconds.
