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

'Festivus' and creche of balloons is coming to olympia!


Festivus_logo This is getting better and better... the state had better add some more rings to this circus.

State officials, besieged by requests for more seasonal displays at the state Capitol, have approved several more -- including one honoring "Festivus," a faux holiday popularized by comedian Jerry Seinfeld.

As we've always said: Nothing says Messiah like balloons! On Saturday there will be a balloon nativity scene in balloons! We kid you not.

The new display requests come on top of an anti-religion placard, a Christmas tree, a menorah, and a pro-religion sign added today.

In addition to balloons, there will be the internationally revered five foot aluminum pole erected to honor Festivus...what a sacred honor in our own state! Wow!

Who goes to the state capital for Christmas? Seriously, isn't there a better family tradition? How about caroling at the airport. . . oh wait they seem to have issues as well.

In the spirit of Festivus, it's time to air our grievances;

WTF - time to celebrate Festivus on the Capitol steps in Olympia this year - that would be entertaining and maybe a bit violent when the time for feats of strength ascends on the celebration.

I got a grievance with Pakistan. Hey, at a bare minimum if you are gonna have Nuclear Weapons you need to spring for the freakin Caller ID. Seriously. It's something the Seattle School District would do. Pay the extra $12 a month.

    pacific nw talk stations

    • KIRO 710ESPN Seattle 710 KHz
      Games and sports-blabber
    • KIROFM 97.3
      Multi-format: news and nearly all local talk. This is where classic KIRO AM news talk radio went... hopefully, not to die. The home of Dave Ross & Luke Burbank, Dori Monson, Ron & Don, Frank Shiers, Bill Radke, Linda Thomas, Tony Miner and George Noory.
    • KUOW FM 94.9
      Seattle's foremost public radio news and talk.
    • KVI am 570 KHz
      Visit the burnt-out husk of one of the seminal right-wing talkers in all the land. Here's where once trilled the reactionary tones of Rush Limbaugh, John Carlson, Kirby Wilbur, Mike Siegel, Peter Weissbach, Floyd Brown, Dinky Donkey, and Bryan Suits. Now it's Top 40 hits from the '60's & '70's aimed at that diminishing crowd who still remembers them and can still hear.
    • KTTH am 770 KHz
      Right wing home of local, and a whole bunch of syndicated righties such as Glennn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Medved, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Lars Larsony, and for an hour a day: live & local David Boze.
    • KPTK am 1090 KHz
      Syndicated liberal talk. Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartmann, Ed Schultz, Randi Rhodes, Norman Goldman fill in the large hole to the left on Northwest radio dial.
    • KLFE AM 1590 kHz
      Syndicated right-wing 2nd stringers like Mark Levin, Bill Bennett, Mike Gallagher, Dennis Prager, Dennis Miller and Hugh Hewitt inhabit this timid-voiced neighbor honker for your radio enjoyment (unless you're behind something large like Costco).
    • KOMOAM
      News, traffic, Ken Schram and John Carlson.
    • Washington State Radio Stations
      Comprehensive list of every danged AM & FM station on the dial.
    • KKOL am 1300 KHz
      Once a rabid right-wing talker, except for Lou Dobbs, it's all business....
