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.
At the risk of getting an email for changing this riveting topic, Goldman is pretty darn good on information. I wish he'd talk like an adult You've got the money, Norm. Take some voice lessons.
I cant listen to him...I have become a huge fan of Green 960...
The other day I was riding in the car with a co-worker and she had Ron and Don on...from the little I heard, I don't see what's wrong with them. At least they aren't talking about the viaduct or how unfair lite rail is.
They get dum. If you listen a lot, they dum you down significantly. I haven't heard much on any program lately about the viaduct or lite rail except a little bit about McGinn and 520.
I used to stream Peter B on Green 960. The others are just more of the same liberal talkers pretty much.
I do turn Norm off a fair amount. I can listen for an hour or so and then flip the switch to off. Painful.
Wow, it is really great.I am very pleased that that i'm standing at an excellent blog of my life, i'm really glad to get my comment here in very decent topic. Thanks to you!
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.
How cool is that...Stephen Colbert is a fan ;)

Seriously,your inane banter is stupid, get a facebook/ twitter account and spend more time with your fellow short attention span morons.
