Best for Chuck Harder to simply retire

I realize I've said some pretty terrible things about Chuck Harder - on
this blog and some other media outlets - and I'm sorry.
(This is sincere; you have to believe me.)
As strange as it may seem for me to say this, it wouldn't bother me one
bit if Harder retired and another radio talk show host just like him
took over. As much as I despise right-wing (or left-wing) anti-Bush
politics, that isn't the real reason I hate Chuck Harder so much.
There are other reasons, which I will not divulge because this is a
public Web site.
Rest assured, however, that I AM NOT in any kind of criminal (or civil)
trouble. My record is squeaky-clean, save for a few traffic tickets 15
years ago and some overdue bills that have long since been paid off.
That said, my reasons for hating Chuck Harder are real. I would not
just spontaneously start loathing the guy, because I am not a
provocateur; instead, I tend to react.
Yes, I've sent correspondence to Chuck Harder-style political groups
(the John Birch Society, the old Liberty Lobby, Paul Craig Roberts, Pat
Buchanan, Bo Gritz, various and sundry right-wing Bush bashers, and so
on). They may write me back once, tell me to go away, and that's that.
But I don't hate these guys.
