Ask Schwall

Ken Schwall has made an art out of asking tough provoking questions to the citizens of East Tennessee.

Here is your chance to Ask Schwall a question and read responses to other WBIR viewer's questions.

I know you're not a marriage counselor but I understand you've been married for a long time so I thought I'd ask you for your help. The problem is my husband. I have a hard time having a serious discussion with him. We begin talking and within a couple of minutes I can tell that he's not really listening. He's looking at me...but he's really just kind of looking through me. I can tell he's not hearing a word that I say. His thoughts seem to be a million mile away. I snap at him but a minute later he's off in never-never land again. What can I do to hold his attention? Sarah, Knoxville

Hmmmm??? What???? Oh. I'm sorry. I must have dozed off. Just kidding. To be honest, this is a problem shared by wives all over the world. When it comes to serious discussions with their wives, husbands just don't do well. The only thing I would suggest is to be brief. If he'll pay attention for three minutes, figure out a way to get your point across in three minutes. It can be done. Succinctness is a lost art. Remember the words of Polonius.. "Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit, And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, I will be brief..."

Ken: ...Caro's new book on Johnson is out. Do you think that LBJ was our ugliest president???!!! Steve, K-Town

That may be. But I got out my copy of Caro's "The Path to Power" about LBJ's early years and the future prez was a fine looking young man. He was no Brad Pitt, mind you, but he wasn't ugly by any means. I don't know what happened to him in later years, but it may prove the old saying "Power corrupts...and absolute power makes you ugly". Or something like that. LBJ was the first president I ever saw in person. It was the speech in which he outlined the goals for the Great Society. (He shared the platform that day with Michigan Governor George Romney...Mitt's daddy.) LBJ didn't look ugly to me that day...of course I was at one end of Michigan Stadium and he was at the other.
