Consider This
I've had some ridiculous ideas in my life (get Sean Connery and Patrick Stewart to go to IHOP and order "Rooty Tooty Fresh n Fruity"s, get Jack Black and Jack White to play a chess match, watch and review the AFI Top 100 Movies).
And one of them, that I'll never follow through on, is to call NPR's "All Things Considered", and make some remarkably stupid statements (e.g. "I think global warming is caused by the growing popularity of jalapeno peppers") just to see if they consider them.
Now I doubt they would. Eeka wasn't crazy about an item on the show and wrote to them, and they sent back a form letter indicating that they hadn't really considered her complaint at all. You'd think that a show called "All Things Considered", though they may not agree with all their feedback, would at least consider it. No dice.
Damned liberal media.

I know I'm in the extreme minority amongst the peoples of my age and political orientation, but goddamnit, I hate NPR. That lilting monotone all their commentators have that everyone says is so soothing makes me want to pluck out my eyes. Display some emotion! Any emotion! When one considers the content of most news nowadays it seems almost ludicrous not to.

Upon consideration, the phrase "lilting monotone" appears to be a bit of an oxymoron...
Let's go with "mind-numbingly irritating."

"Upon consideration..."
I see what you did there ;)
