Quote:Nope. It’s pure speculation on my part based on my assessment of some of the celebrities that I’ve seen talk about Air America whom are currently involved with the show and listening to them on the radio. (E.g. Frankin, Garafolo, et al.) They seem to me to have the attitude of someone who does what they do because they have a ‘grudge.’ But that’s just my assessment and based on nothing more then speculation.

Or they can hire conservative hosts and really make some money.
I listened to a bit of the station, and wasn't surprised that it's not popular. It just seems like 24 hour ranting about politics. Maybe I listened at the wrong time or something.
Does the US have a station anything like BBC Radio 4? Something with a regular schedule, and 30 minute programmes, that are not neccesarilty political. It's a very popular format over here. I'd be surprised if it didn't get pinched.

Not sure if the LA programming is different than other cities, but the AM Stephanie Miller show is funnier'n hell! I laughed so hard my abs hurt!
By listening to the Miller show, I learned...
DR HAGER
Bush appointee, fundamentalist Christian, chair of the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Reproductive Health Drugs Advisory Committee, author of "As Jesus Cared for Women" and other smarmy tomes, and purveyor of prayer(!)as the cure for PMS and other "womanly" ills... was divorced by his wife because of emotional abuse and BRUTAL, NON-CONSENSUAL SODOMY while she was passed out from narcolepsy.

JAMES WEST
Republican mayor of Spokane and staunch anti-gay campainger, is being accused of abusing Boy Scouts, and investigated for trolling for gay sex on the internet.

JOHN BOLTON
Bush nominee for UN Ambassador, tyrannical manager and notorious head-banger, forced his first wife to have group sex.

GUCKERT/ GANNON
And then of course we have the presence of a male prostitute accepted into the White House with a fabricted cover story of being a (snicker) "reporter". "Guckert made more than two dozen excursions to the White House when there were no scheduled briefings. On many of these days, the Press Office held press gaggles aboard Air Force One—which raises questions about what Guckert was doing at the White House."

I also learned a lot about "shooting birds in Church". It's not what you think! (THAT was the funny part).

Believe me, you are not alone. If moving out of this country would solve anything, I would have been gone the day after the election. However, the last thing that we need is for him to become a martyr and be solidified in our history books as a martyred president, replace Lincoln on our $5 bills, and be considered the greatest president of all time, surpassing Washington. That's what half of this brain-washed country thinks of him already.

Bingo! You hit the nail right on the head. Any country with a 100% pure political system cannot last because human nature is not 100% pure or 100% equal.
Pure Socialism fails because it's "give, give, give" untill all it's resources are spread around so evenly, everyone has the same meager portion, and pure Capitalism is "take, take, take", leaving little for those that can't take what they need, and those who have the most, take even more.

Canada for instance, has taken elements of Socialism and Capitalism in an attempt to get the benefits of both, without the drawbacks of either (I forget the actual term for it).
There is a small drawback: high taxes, but considering what you get for those high taxes, I'd say it works out pretty evenly.

P.S. Fox News doesn't need to be silenced. It needs to be renamed. The Daily Show has the decency to call itself 'Fake News.' We should demand the same from Fox.
I 100% agree. On a similar note though, since I've watched both, I must say that the Daily Show is far more accurate than F*X "news" has ever been. Anyone else find that as sad as I do?
Yep.
The Daily Show doesn't have an idiot (hiii, Mr. O'Riiiiielly
) accusing Barbra Boxer of saying that Condolizza Rice doesn't support the troops. Senator Boxer actually said "truth", and several people called in and told him that and yet he still refused to correct that little mistake. All he had to say was "Oops. Sorry", and at least pretend to be "fair and balanced"Quote:

Yet another thing I agree on.
