gen-x slackers

After I graduated college, it took some effort to tune out the mainstream media’s ominous pronouncements that ours was a generation of underachieving losers and slackers. Some of my college classmates seem to be doing pretty okay, so maybe they can make up for the rest of us. David Gregory, has been named host of Meet the Press. (Executive Producer Betsy Fischer was also a classmate). I’d think Gregory was a good choice even if he hadn’t been a classmate, but it’s been interesting to me to listen to people argue against his selection. I have to admit I’m starting to get old (shallow?) enough that I enjoy the argument that he’s too young. It’s been a long and difficult Monday, let me take my joy where I can find it, okay?
