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.

KS

That pic has boring written all over it.

Pete

KS is right. Another problem: the hip young audience they're hoping Burbank will bring has no idea what those things are that Ross is standing on.

Truth

You have GOT to be kidding me !

joanie

Copy paper? I think they'll know . . .

joanie

Just looked at the pics. They have a genuine rapport. I'm glad for that if nothing else. I still miss Dave.

sparky

Breaking: Huckabee is not going to run for President.

Ben

This looks like one of those scary old man young boy gay thing !

Itchy

Dave Ross would make a better president than Mike Huckabee.

Then again, so would Luke Burbank.

Rat_Bastard

I was actually liking the Tom Tagney combo last week.
Luke is hit and miss for me...
I like him more than I did when he first teamed up with Dave, but I'd still rather just have the "Dave Ross show" back.

 Radio Queen

What's up with the reading glasses in a photo shoot? Seems like they're emphasizing the age difference any way they can. I catch daily snippets in my car. Sometimes it's painful. The smarmy kid arrogantly correcting the old grandpa--but Dave's still got a few. Sad that he's going to end his career as a sidekick.

Puget Sound Blathers

reminds me of the infamous don imus and howard stern video back in the day when they shared the same station.


here

not a big fan of either.

LucasFoxx

They didn't know what Ross was standing on. One of the Facebook comments was "nice use of phonebooks."

Tommy008

Burbank claims to have played football in college. Looks like he hasn't exercised since he became a supercool hipster in college.Going inside a gym would be so declasse. One wonders what his Mexican girlfriend Veronica looks like. Maybe she lieks wearing the pants and going with a 98 pound weakling. I imagine that was the arrangement made quite clear with Joanie's fellas, back in the day.

Tommy008

sorry- should have read Burbank claims to havr played football "in high school", not college.

gerry0416

I was an avid fan of Dave Ross for years - listened every day. I haven't listened to the show since Puke was added and won't. I just can't take his pretentious attitude.

Ben

Trying REALLY hard to listen to this new format right now. I don't understand the 'tidbit' news format.

The forced and uncomfortable manner that Dave Ross tries to use humor is like fingernails on the blackboard.

Luke Burbank is out of his league. His lack of indepth knowledge may be the reason the two guys talk about 3 minutes per subject.

This is very bad talk radio.

    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....
