1. Great!

That's my son's 4th birthday. We all get a gift and now my wife & I will have 2 things to celebrate.

I hope that I'll be forgiven if I respectfully put my son ahead of Al, though!:bounce:

7. Good news finally

They should start advertising soon or at least tell us where we can hear them. This sounds like fun:

The Eighties began a heyday for Talk Radio that continues into this century. The format gained popularity among adults who were tired of hearing the same songs over and over on music radio, and who were interested in hearing issues discussed by the nascent stars of the industry. The rhetoric was one-sided and soon grew politically powerful. The combination of power and the rhetorical vacuum set the stage for Air America Radio.

The pendulum is now swinging the other way and the market hungers for a balance of rhetoric. Air America Radio brings this balance in the form of political satire in the grand tradition of Saturday Night Live and The Daily Show. In fact, Emmy Award winning veteran of SNL, Al Franken, and the co-creator of The Daily Show, Lizz Winstead, lead an all-star cast that includes Janeane Garofalo (The Larry Sanders Show Starring Gary Shandling, The Truth About Dogs and Cats) and Rap star Chuck D, in a spirited, funny look at the day’s hottest issues.

Recognizing the opportunity to sell goods and services to the more than half of all Americans who are not currently listening to the existing Talk Radio stars and stations, Air America’s investors moved quickly to secure distribution on some of the best signals in the major markets.

9. Randi Rhodes

has been away since last week and said she'll be coming back with good news.I am willing to bet that she will finally be syndicated.I also want to see another Palm Beach product Seabass http://talk1340wpbram.com/
Talk1340wpbram next he absolutely rocks man I find myself riding around saying "YEA!!!!!!!"punching the steering wheel.Hearing the opposing point of view after just hearing one side for so long is akin (for me at least) to my youthful discovery of pornography and the benefits that it posed for a 13 year old boy.If that's offensive to some sorry but it almost seems "dirty" to be able to hear people calling Bush and the lies there-of out on a daily basis.
