Not to be a jerk, but it was your niece's choice to join the military. Just like it was my cousin's choice. A choice that I completely respect and admire. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people whine about how their loved ones, that joined the military by choice, are deployed or will be deployed shortly.
Right and it's Deaces choice to work at ClearChannel where this might happen. If he isn't happy about it, he should take it up with his boss. I didn't mean to imply that my niece whines about it, she accepts it. I worry about her, I do have that right. Police Officers pick their careers too. I suppose you have no sympathy when one of them gets hurt either. I really thought Jon was going to bring some closure to it when he ended with the" Things we are blessed with" bit but Deace appeared disingenuous about that too.
Another cousin is a correctional officer and when he is hurt in the line of his job, I don't really feel sorry for him. Maybe that makes me insensitive, but that is truly how I feel. We all know the dangers of our jobs and we accept them, otherwise we would not be in those situations. For example, I work in an office at a computer all day, I know it is possible that I may get carpal tunnel or a severe paper cut. Not life threatening I know, but I do not expect anyone to feel sorry for me.
Almost 100% sure Deace was over hyping his complaints. The guy is similar to Rush, everything is done for a reason and that reason is ratings. You just have to keep that in mind.

Yes, I would say you are insensitive but at least you admit it. I am no better than you, we just disagree. Deace on the other hand definitely lives two lives. I'm pretty certain that whining like that at his place of worship wouldn't get as positive of reaction. To me he is a phony, but maybe thats what sells ads.
I think that you're taking it too seriously. They had to stay there two nights and were making light of it. If I were stuck at work for three days, I'd be saying "this sucks" to people. That doesn't mean that I'd have it worse than a LOT of people out there. I wouldn't, but you say stuff like that to laugh it off.
Did we ever find out how Deace was going to make "them" pay?
$10 says if we had a Republican governor, Deace wouldn't have said a word about the snow plowing. I thought it was hilarious (in a ridiculous way) that he was blaming an act of God on Chet Culver. I'm starting to think that he knows some of his political comments are ridiculous, but it makes for good entertainment, and he's an entertaining character.
Have you ever heard anything he has said about Terry Brandstad
What? They didn't do any cuddling! That was a movie clip.I could have done without the video of them cuddling.
We view our first job as entertaining people...and sometimes you can entertain people by making light of your own circumstances. The last two days have pretty much been 100% impromptu...off the cuff, and it was probably two of the most fun days at a job I have ever had. I can't even tell you most of what was said...I just know we were a little loopy, a little run down and everything seemed funny
