Music. I like music on the radio. Or useful advice shows, like the
Money Game. I can do without the pseudo-preaching Dave Ramsey does,
but I respect that he has his beliefs and a hugely successful
syndicated show, so he can do what he wants. I listen to his show
because I like hearing the common sense financial advice.
Limbaugh, like the G-man (and all the other political talk show hosts)
is trash mainly because their whole format is built on stirring up
various bad emotions in people for their own purposes (mostly to keep
them listening and repeating what they say so they can get more
listeners and make more money).
And just so you know, when I was in my ultra-conservative phase (not
that Limbaugh is ultra-conservative) when I was in the Army I used to
watch Limbaugh every night and listen to him when I had the chance.
'Course, the extent of my political awareness at that point was being
around a bunch of soldiers who thought their commander in chief was a
draft-dodging college-boy politician so I was easy prey for Limbaugh's
special brand of hate. All it took was actually reading a few factual
accounts of things to expose him for the idiot that he is.
Sorry if you like him, but I'm pretty proud to be fairly conservative
still and I think he's an embarassment.
