I know I used to listen to him there.

And the station formerly at 1150 used to have him, but now that runs Spanish language Jesus music.

maybe it's just the Midwesterner in me, but it seems weird to not be able to get Paul Harvey somewhere.

I'm listening to the morning broadcast. He sounds like he's reading a bedtime story to the Five Brothers, makes clear he doesn't buy "safety" as the real reason American Airlines grounded all those flights, sucks up to the butchers of Beijing, is grateful for spellcheck and babbles about how the Detroit Tigers finally won a game against "my Red Sox."

Wow

Sounds just like Larry King.

No, Larry King is actually likeable

and someone I could imagine having a beer with. Not likely with Mitt Romney, for several different reasons.

so why does he think AA grounded those flights?

Tell us so we don't have to torture ouselves listening to it.

Bureaucrats

Trying to prove to Congress they're not really in bed with the airlines.

Yes, RLY.

Afternoon report

Mitt leads it off again with the American Airlines conspiracy theory (it's all the fault of FAA bureaucrats trying to suck up to Congress).

And he again extends his tongue toward the posterior of the aging tyrants of Beijing: Hey, Tibetan "freedom" supporters? Go climb back in a hole; the Olympics are more important than your petty little issue.

Well, OK, not an exact quote, but close enough.

Oh, now he's referring to "my friend, Matt Drudge."

Page 2: Smog in China is bad, which Mitt knows because he was there "a year and a half ago, as governor of Massachusetts."

Texting is bad. College graduates who text are stupid. Gosh.

John McCain's looking like a winner.

Scientists on Borneo have found a frog that has no lungs - it breathes through its skin. Mitt says: "I have no idea why we need to know this."

The Tigers finally won. "And would you believe it? It was MY Red Sox who were the losers."

Madonna is a slut, so it's a good thing she feels uncomfortable singing "Like a Virgin."

Lookit That! Fitchburg is Cool Again!

We have to listen to Sox games on WEIM out here in the sticks. Growing up, that was THE station to find out if you had a snow day.
