Marconi Union--Weightless
This, my dear friends and beloved co-workers, is the most relaxing song in the world.
No, really.
It was created by a Manchester UK trio in conjunction with sound therapists and neuroscientists. It can reduce your anxiety levels by 65 percent. Just as a safety warning, please don't listen to the video while operating machinery or driving a car.
I do this because if you're anything like me, even with the knowledge that the election is pretty much a done deal, my blood pressure is reaching dangerous levels with the dumbfounding amount of stupidity and hate and refusal to deal in reality that is our modern media. I find myself having a viscerally angry response when I hear Trump's voice. The level of toxicity that this election has introduced into the national dialog is just not healthy. So take a short period to find a comfortable place, take some deep, cleansing breaths and listen to Weightless to reduce your cortisol levels and blood pressure. Because you're going to need it with this line up:
ABC's "This Week" - Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine; Kellyanne Conway, campaign manager for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump; Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va.; Rep. Adam Schiff, D. Calif. Panel: E.J. Dionne, Jonathan Karl, Ana Navarro, Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, and American Conservative Union chair Matt Schlapp.
