I certainly am not.

I give "Talk" radio a miss. To me it's just a bunch of yammerhead wing-
nuts (right-wing or left-wing) evangelising for the "truth" as they see
it - and, for the most part, totally clewless. If I'm going to listen
to talk on my radio I'd rather it be a South Missouri Baptist preacher
rasslin' with sin and Satan. That, at least is entertaining. I used to
get a powerful AM station from either Springfield or Joplin, Missouri
which carried just such every Sunday morning. Bv)=

Also Fred Allem and Jack Benny. Or Fibber McGee and Molly or Lum & Abner.
