right-wing blogs we like
The Reagan Wing Hearin lies the real heart of Washington State Republicans. Doug Parris runs this red-meat social conservative group site which bars no holds when it comes to saying who they are and who they're not; what they believe and what they don't; who their friends are and where the rest of the Republicans can go. Well-written, and flaming.
Orbusmax inexhaustible Drudgery of NW conservative news
The Radio Equalizer prolific former Seattle KVI, KIRO talk host speaks authoritatively about radio.
Dori Monson (KIROFM m-f 12-3p) blames Mayor Greg Nickels and politically-correct Seattleites for the cold blooded, assassination-style Halloween murder of Seattle policeman, Timothy Brenton.
Another producer for the silly Ron & Don Show? Not news- they use up producers like nasal inhalers.
But Jason Stein, of LA's KFI has been hired away from his enviable position at the #1 talker in the country,to make the smart radio consumers of Seattle listen to R & D (KIROFM m-f, 3-6p).
Diane Medved is a social conservative, a religious Jew, a Ph.D in psychology, an author, a mother and Michael's wife.
Despite the old-time religion, if you listen to the Michael Medved Show (KTTH m-f, 12-3p), you know: she's no doormat.

last week on her blog, "Search For the Bright Light," she opined about Sarah Palin in a way which likely indicates not only the views of her household, (that would be her prominent, conservative husband) but those of many thoughtful "values" conservatives all over the country.
It's hard to believe that anyone believes that red-baiting would work in 2009, but talk radio and Fox News blabbertalent keep hammering away on administration officials who might have quoted Mao at some time in their careers.
After all it's been through: Evan Cohen, bankruptcy, and Randi Rhodes, there seems to be a stability there now. The network/syndicator keeps putting one foot in front of the other.
finally last week relaunched their website that looks great, and works too- both attributes missing from their old site.
~~ Live & yokel. Fascinating man, Frank Shiers (KIROFM m-f,7-11p). That's why he gets the press he gets... in Bremerton. In a great piece with great pictures, his hometown paper, The Kitsap Sun, gives us the lowdown on the Frank, who may be Too Ugly To Die (TUTD). We especially liked it because Steven Gardner thoughtfully included a couple of nasty comments of ours about Frank. If you read the whole thing you'll find out that Frank was disappointment to his father too.
Carrie Prejean has a chance of getting another 15 minutes, and her choice to become a charm in the bracelet of the religious right is a good one.
She's the Miss California who took the opportunity to Christian-witness her fundamentalist opposition to gay marriage in the Miss USA Pageant. Losing the contest, she blamed it on discrimination against her brave Christian witness, which caused kind of stink cables and talk radio live on, and they responded with lots of her puling to drooling interviewers like Sean Hannity.
"I'm afraid," Glenn Beck is fond of saying, 'You should be afraid too."
Mount Vernon mayor Bud Norris is a little afraid, according to at least one civic leader in his town.
Norris
last month decided he could cover himself and his little town in glory
by giving the keys to the city on September 26, to the most radioactive
scurrilizer in America, Glenn Beck (KTTH m-f, 6-9a).
"The president gave what I think is the only full, basically formal, at-length defense of liberalism and defense of the idea of government for the people's good, in ideological terms. It's the most ideological I've ever heard him be and I think liberals will be happy. ~~Rachel Maddow.
No charges have yet been filed, but the internets are buzzing with the alarming allegations that Glenn Beck (KTTH m-f, 6-9a) murdered and raped a young girl in 1990.
