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.
There was a story in the news yesterday about a peaceful demonstration on the steps of the Capitol in Richmond, VA. A group of people, women mostly, with a few elderly folks included, got a permit to stand on the steps and hold signs protesting the recent legislation about vaginal probes, etc. Someone called in a SWAT team (!!!!) and many were arrested for "trespassing."
Ask your wives, daughters, sisters, mothers, aunts how they feel about the government peering inside their vaginas and then ask them if they would like to be hauled away by a SWAT team if they disagreed with the thinking of the Virginia Legislature.
Oh yes, a council in Wilmington approved a resolution giving personhood to sperm. So...jacking off is murder, gentlemen. Watch out for those SWAT teams peering into your bathroom window!
war on women? you must be joking. The constant pervasive anti--male tone and content of the national media, in all forms, will soon be given some balance when Tommy Leykis returns to a weekday show, albeit internet only for now. I fully expect satellite radio to pick up at least his first two hours after a good six months or so.
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.
You should couple this with "sex talk by Rick Santorum." But, then, what do I know?

Oh, c'mon you guys. Somebody must have looked up the Sex Talk with Rick Santorum
It's almost as good as the one posted above.
Personhood to sperm? Well, you never know where this will go... I wonder if it will end up being a crime or a misdemeanor?
