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.
I get that Franken was trying to call out Thune for making a misleading presentation but I don't understand what he ultimately hoped to accompish by doing so. He's not going to make Republicans fall in love with the bill by calling one of them out.
Our local you're-bound-for-hell guy must be blood. Fortunately, San Francisco establishes equilibrium with Frank Chu, he of media-worthy 12 Galaxies and "World's Richest Family" fame.
p.s. — I'm thinkin' Barkley's clam chowder, sister Suzanne's Gravenstein pie, Peg drunk at the bar downstairs and you tapping out first missives on that old 64k clunker while hunkered down in Barkley's office. Great dog.
YOU FOLKS WHO ARE GOING TO hEAVEN, JUST WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO DO FOR ETERNITY WHEN YOU GET THERE?
Oops, didn't mean to do all caps. Oh well.
Lets see, about 7,000,000,000 humans a;ove pn earth today. The far majority will be tossed into Hell as they do not accept Jesus as their savior. I'd still rather be with them than the self righteous clowns who claim they are going to Heaven. At some point in time I am bound to used to the burning fires.
Frankly, if there is a burning Hell I am more inclined to think that the self righteous arre more likely to be there.
I know personally that Hell is under water, Ryder. I've experienced it. Whether it be via one sewer, a freeze which burst my hot water tank and toilet thus rotting floors in BB, or the other sewer (which I finally replaced), trust me, Hell is under water.
Hell is a creek flooding your basement during construction. Hell is Roto Rooter at 3:30 am Thanksgiving morning.
No fire could survive the ferocity of Hell. Hell is under water.
Maybe that's why our last administration liked waterboarding so much. Devils. Every one of them.
I guarantee you will not meet me in Hell. I'd rather burn. I will be fanning myself atop Mount Vesuvius before I ever tread the deptths of Hell.
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.

Did you all see the Franken video on Huffington taking on the right and their lying lies about healthcare? Al Franken: Spars With GOP Leadership On Senate Floor, Accuses Thune Of Not Reading Health Bill (VIDEO)
It's pretty good.

Yes, Franken is one of us. That makes the republicons all pouty.

I am proud to be known as a Sophisticated Swine. I am sure that Joanie would agree.
At least in Hell we would all be in better company than the idiots who put that thing together.

Hey Ryder, hell is not a joke and you are wrong!

It does seem a great deal like the Dimocrat party platform. Just has a few extra things thrown in to confuse the press.

Sorta good sound bite from Dean: Howard Dean On Health Care Reform: "Kill The Senate Bill"
He and Markos were on a tv program together. Anybody know which one it was?
Posted by: joanie | December 16, 2009 at 12:21 AM
One more - better Dean on Olbermann with Larry ODonnel (who is better than Olbermann)
Watch it. Dean is smart.

Hey Ryder, so you are NOT one of the self-righteous clowns? You can't be serious! LOL!!!
