That was funny as shit.

Seriously, about the only news I see is from links on this board. I ignored the entire world for well over a year...rather successfully

I hadn't seen anything of Rush in a couple years, but looking at that site, it looks like he lost a LOT of weight.

[Almighty Colin]

This one is funny ... “Some guy took his dog with him to Iraq and he's referring to his dog as a human shield. That's how smart these people are.”

[Mike AI]

Rush did lose a lot of weight, and got some implant so he can hear.

I am a fan of his, every since he came on the local radio station here, probably in 92 or something - I have met him in person as well. He is actually pretty shy in person. His radio personally is definately part shtick... I do not agree with everything he says or beleives, but he is entertaining!

I used to feel the same way about Howard Stern, and listened to him back in his early days in Hartford, up through probably just a few years ago.

Now I think his show is pure, unadulterated crap and can't stand to listen to him. He's pretty much become a one-trick pony, every show some variation on porn stars and/or bathroom humor.

I must be getting old or something, because when I listen to talk radio, I want to hear shows that inform and make me THINK in order to form my own opinion... it seems that nearly every commercial radio talk show these days exists solely for people who aren't very smart -- they're either low-brow entertainment or some ranting nutball TELLING the listeners how to think and what their opinions ought to be.

Unfortunately, I suppose the market itself demands this type of programming... most people don't WANT to think for themselves, it apparently takes too much effort. Sheesh!

[Mike AI]

Rox I feel the same way about Stern.... he cannot do anything unique that any kid in 8th grade could not think of.

I think Rush has more talent though. But he can get grating....

We are finally getting Bortz on a local channel, I have to say I have been enjoying him when I drive....

anyone of you listen to Michael Savage? not sure where he's syndicated.
here is his site http://www.homestead.com/prosites-prs/index.html

I've never once listened to Rush, not sure if we even get him here.
But lately i found listening to Imus latenights on msnbc somewhat enetertaining.

when Rush first came on the radio I listened to him, his shtick was pretty entertaining and at that time pretty fresh. I got bored because he's just too predictable in his views and his targets.

Even though i am a long time Howard Stern fan I would listen to Don Imus if I could pick up the signal - during Howard commercials of course.

Here in L.A., we have Tom Leykis, and his show's syndicated, so probably available in many markets. I usually only tune in to his show when I know some piece of legislation or Supreme Court decision that will get his dander up has been in the news that day. His daily misogynist show, "Leykis 101" just bores me, but I find his opinions about most other things to be quite similar to my own; and I just love to hear him rant. He went off one time about the shitty medical coverage Clear Channel offers their employees, and I was laughing so hard I had to pull the car over. I found myself envying his ability to bitch about his employer to thousands of people; apparently without any worries that they'd fire his ass in retaliation.

Tom gets high ratings for that sort of thing... I'd probably get a pink slip! Damn!

[sarah_webinc]

even I used to listen to him from time to time just to hear the other side. Then I told my dad about him because I knew they shared a lot of the same views and my dad is a courier so is in his car all day.. Bad move, we then went through a phase of just about every sentence being preceeded by 'rush says'. Then he got the book with all the frequencies across the country so whenever we went on a car trip we could listen to the show. Then he started sending him emails from my mother's account (he couldn't figure out how to use his own) that had my mother's professional sig file attached (she was then a high level teacher, now part of the administration). Mom didn't notice until he bitched to Rush about something to do with education.

He certainly knows his audience and plays it well but the problem is that so many people that follow his show don't get the other side to balance it out. It is more like a nodding club.

Rush and Howard Stern have the same birthday, don't they?

I've seen Don Imus' show on tv a couple times, it was very good. It was just his readio show, but with cameras at the broadcast. Not sure, but I think it's on CNN or MSNBC.

i like that image of the protesters. reminds me
of Monty Pythons - The Life of Brian

REG:
They've bled us white, the bastards. They've taken everything we had, and not just from us, from our fathers, and from our fathers' fathers.

LORETTA:
And from our fathers' fathers' fathers.

REG:
Yeah.

LORETTA:
And from our fathers' fathers' fathers' fathers.

REG:
Yeah. All right, Stan. Don't labour the point. And what have they ever given us in return?!

XERXES:
The aqueduct?

REG:
What?

XERXES:
The aqueduct.

REG:
Oh. Yeah, yeah. They did give us that. Uh, that's true. Yeah.

COMMANDO #3:
And the sanitation.

LORETTA:
Oh, yeah, the sanitation, Reg. Remember what the city used to be like?

REG:
Yeah. All right. I'll grant you the aqueduct and the sanitation are two things that the Romans have done.

MATTHIAS:
And the roads.

REG:
Well, yeah. Obviously the roads. I mean, the roads go without saying, don't they? But apart from the sanitation, the aqueduct, and the roads--

COMMANDO:
Irrigation.

XERXES:
Medicine.

COMMANDOS:
Huh? Heh? Huh...

COMMANDO #2:
Education.

COMMANDOS:
Ohh...

REG:
Yeah, yeah. All right. Fair enough.

COMMANDO #1:
And the wine.

COMMANDOS:
Oh, yes. Yeah...

FRANCIS:
Yeah. Yeah, that's something we'd really miss, Reg, if the Romans left. Huh.

COMMANDO:
Public baths.

LORETTA:
And it's safe to walk in the streets at night now, Reg.

FRANCIS:
Yeah, they certainly know how to keep order. Let's face it. They're the only ones who could in a place like this.

COMMANDOS:
Hehh, heh. Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh.

REG:
All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
