Loonies

Loonies to the Left of Me, Loonies to Right of me, 
Volleyed and Thundered

I find the flame throwing pundits on the left and right interesting. They often say outrageous things to get attention and ratings. And the ones who are good at it can become very rich. So there is a strong incentive to keep pushing the envelope and keeping your base aroused and indignant and listening.


Rush Limbaugh is the most successful on the right.  Ed Schultz is trying to do the same from the left.  Listening to these guys can be entertaining, but a little like having a fascination with nude mud wrestling - you don't really want people to know you like it. 


And you should not form your political opinions just by listening to them. And if you do listen to them, you should listen to their equivalent on the other side, to make sure what you learn is fair and balanced.


WARNING !  If you only listen to one side, your brain will begin to list left or right. This is of course dangerous to your mental health and to be avoided.






The Rush Limbaugh Show is the most listened to radio talk show in America, broadcast on over 600 radio stations nationwide. It is hosted by America's Anchorman, Rush Limbaugh, also known as:  America's Truth Detector; the Doctor of Democracy; the Most Dangerous Man in America; the All-Knowing, All-Sensing, All-Everything Maha Rushie; defender of motherhood, protector of fatherhood and an all-around good guy.



Ed SchultzWhy is the Ed Schultz Show hotter than a polar bear in Pensacola? Easy. Because he is so different from every other talk show host and TV host, and so much like the 3 million Ed Heads who tune him in for the unvarnished truth. He's a straight talking, no-nonsense voice of reason in unreasonable times
