Bye bye sleaze ball Bill O'Reilly
I am a life-long conservative and radio freak, but I've never cared for
BO'R -- either on the radio, or on TV. To be honest, I put him in the same category as Howard Stern. And that's not a very good category in my book. My favorites on the radio a Laura Ingraham, Glen Beck, Matt Drudge, Michael Savage, Lucianne Goldberg, Sean Hannity, Phil Hendrie, Art Bell, and Rush Limbaugh I do not like listening to Dr Laura, Dr Dean Edell, Al Franken, Bill O'Reilly, or Howard Stern. |

Yes, but who do you despise the most from that "do not like" list?
I personally can't tolerate Dr. Laura. She's an idiot beyond measure.

Very hard to pick a most despised! I agree with Dr. Laura in some instances,
but her attitude is terrible, and I find her very abusive. Dr. Dean is a typical liberal slimeball, and Franken is just a moron. Have not really listened to Stern, but I am sure I would find plenty not to like. The new liberal here localy is Ed Shultz. Another blowhard, but at least he has some energy. I have listened to Rush since the beggining, but I think my favorite is Sean Hannity. We just got Laura Ingraham, and I am really enjoying her show as well. That is my 50 cents. -- Dave, Icom 746pro, Drake R-8, Grundig YB-400pe Icom V-8000, Yaesu VX5R, Uniden 780xlt, R.S. Pro 95, R.S. Pro 2066 G.E. SR3 "JuLiE Dxer" wrote in message ...

All five on my "do not like" list are pretty much equal. And maybe I would
add George Noory to the list because he is boring and puts me to sleep. I used to get myself in trouble when Art Bell was full-time on Coast to Coast because I would stay awake to listen to him. Now that Noory does the weekday show, there's no reason for me to stay up late during the week. At least I can get my Art Bell fix on the weekend, but it was nice having him all over the radio every night of the week. I guess I'm not alone. When Art was still doing the show, most stations carried the preceding day's last two or three hours as a taped pre-cursor to the live show. That was nice. But after Noory took over, I guess ratings have dropped to the point that reruns of Coast to Coast aren't that much in demand any longer. |

I think the low blows are actually being thrown by the Cheney family
(specifically Lynne) and the republicans. It was pretty convenient for Lynne and Dick to bring up their daughter when it makes Bush and Cheney look "compassionate." It would be one thing if they never brought it up in any speech or anything that furthers their campaign with moderates...but they have. For them to publicly talk about Mary being gay, then to turn around and say that it was a "low blow" or inappropriate should actually clue the moderates in on how they REALLY feel about gays and lesbians--that we love 'em but we would rather they stay in their 2X2 closets. We love 'em, but we don't talk about 'em (unless it will make people think WE are compassionate). It's like it is some kind of "painful" subject that shouldn't be raised instead of a simple fact of life. Would they feel so indignant if Mary had found the cure for cancer and Kerry mentioned that? Would they feel so indignant if Mary was a heterosexual and just had a baby and Kerry had mentioned that? Would they feel so indignant if Mary had MS and Kerry mentioned it and said we need to do more research etc. etc... NO, of course they wouldn't. So all this righteous indignation that he took a "low blow" or used "taaawdry tactics" is simply a symptom that they were lying through their teeth when they claim not to be ashamed of her. I think if I were Mary, I would actually be devastated by their reaction--it is like she is something "unmentionable" and something to be so ashamed of that no one but her family is ever allowed to mention her. I'm sorry that Mom and Dad Cheney are so ashamed of their daughter being gay that the mere mention of it makes John Kerry a "bad man." THEY are the ones that I lost whatever shred of respect I had left for. Gay people are deeply hurt when their parents react the way the Cheney's did. If they were really proud of her they would have reacted differently. For instance if she had been a doctor and Kerry had brought that up they would not have reacted the way they did. http://www.geocities.com/jacknichols123/johnjohn.htm |

Hi all,
When is he on shortwave? Thanks Mike |
Howard Stern doesn't phase me a bit. Often, if I tune across him with
the car radio I don't find what he's doing too interesting. From my brief visits to Stern's work he seems to do a lot of the same stuff over and over. Rush Limbaugh can be interesting. He seems more realistic than the bleeding heart liberals on-the-air but does exhibit a very clear bias and subjective view on events even though his side does seem to favor reality more often than not. His lack of objective reporting and relevent commentary does get annoying as it happens too often. Having typed this commentary, I'd listen to his banter over any of the "do not like list" every single time. Hopefully, the political posting idiots wont jump in on this... We're getting close to straying from newgroup's focus :)... On Fri, 15 Oct 2004 18:09:07 -0700, "Pilotbutteradio" wrote: Very hard to pick a most despised!

You can catch Art on 3840 kHz almost every single night. I don't
listen too much to him while he's at work. I mostly interact with him via HF; I even get the oddball e-mails from him of strange things. I can't speak too much of his on-the-job behavior, but from my interactions with him via amateur radio the last 9 years I've noticed he sure does exaggerate on a very frequent basis. Everything's "amazing" or "unbelievable" or "the greatest thing ever." That does get annoying.

Exactly my point. I don't believe there's any altruism involved. Therefore, I think the entire premise of her show is disingenuous at best, and blatantly harmful at worst. I don't think she's helping as much as she's probably hurting. I understand the point that time limitations affect her ability to be "nice"; I just don't agree that justifies being "honest". And she ought to know better. But then, she's the professional...so maybe she does. But I kind of don't think so. |

How surprising is that? You sure seem interested in a man's ability to "get it up." Stop projecting and start taking your medications again. By the way long term use of anti-depressants can cause you to be suicidal so I hope you are getting counseling along with the medications. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

Hurts to tell people this when you on them yourself huh? But again, you want bush back in so really that's all I need to know about your mental composure which is not saying much. Go take your nap...

The mass delusion that Bush is better at fighting terrorism is belied
by the fact that Bush and Osama Bin laden are in the same boat: http://nsnews.tripod.com/terrorism.htm |

An old "boyfriend" if I remember correctly. She looks very nice; certainly, nothing of which to be ashamed. I've seen a lot of similar (including my own gilfriend's) on the inside door of military wall-lockers.

The occasional third breast that I sometimes stumble across always throws me off my game. ;) What's a breast, Mister Honus? What kind of game do you play with one? It's a walking game...-walking- abreast is the usual way it's done. To keep this at an appropriate level for "little michael II", I offer you this in response to the question: From www.dictionary.com a-breast: 1. Side by side: ships docked two abreast. 2. Up to date: keeping abreast of the latest developments. To keep this on-topic for the newsgroup, I urge you to focus on definition number two. SW is well suited for that purpose. Also, www.dictionary.com has a pronunciation guide if you run into any difficulties. Is it like Tennis or more like Badminton? Tennis is played with fuzzy balls, and the word "love" is used quite frequently. Badminton is played with a shuttlecock, or cock for short...although I hesitate to use the words cock and short in such close proximity to each other. So much for keeping it at an appropriate level. |

My little sister says you're a lecher, Mister Honus.. You say that like it's a bad thing. It isn't; just ask her. ;) is that like a baseball catcher, but with the walking breast game instead? little michael II Little Michael, you should probably be asking your dad about these birds and bees sorts of things. Here's his e-mail addy: (starting to suspect that something is not quite right here) Come on...you're quicker on the uptake than -that-! |
