Booming The Airwaves

I used to listen to Air America on the internet. Air America was not crappy. Air America was wonderful. Take Al Franken, for instance. Al wasn't the best radio host in America. He wasn't even the best radio host on Air America, but he's a liberal and he was on the fucking radio and that is something right there. Turns out Al might just be the best Senator in the history of Senators (who knew?). I'm serious. Al is solid as a rock. I hope he's in the Senate until he's a hundred. As wonderful as it was, I couldn't get Air America on the radio where I live. Well, I did once, for about 5 minutes. More on that later.

You folks in the Blue States and in urban areas of the Purple States have got it good. You can listen to Ed Schultz and Rachel Maddow and a dozen other progressive voices during your drive time. Trip to the store? You have no problem finding a decent talk radio show to listen to. Maybe even a nice moderate like Smerconish. Well we all have drive times. In fact, out here in the vast forbidden reddish lands, our drive times might even be similar to yours. Difference is, you drive 90 minutes and travel 40 miles and I drive 90 minutes and travel 100 miles. Also, you can listen to Ed Schultz and Rachel Maddow and my choices are Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and The Good Racist Reverend Peters Of The Church Of The Corporate Jesus. Really! If you think I'm exaggerating, there'll be plenty of my wasteland brothers and sisters in the comments section to back me up. One early morning, due to magic once-a-century atmospheric conditions, I caught Air America, for about 5 minutes, on a progressive station out of Boulder Colorado, 400 miles away on the other side of the Rocky Mountains. I stopped the truck and went running off into the sagebrush whooping and hollering. I called four people and told them about it. They thought I was crazy.

XM Radio is an option, but not for people who can't afford it or aren't in their vehicles enough to justify it. I had it for a little while but I drive on some horrible roads and after destroying a receiver, literally shaking the screen and buttons off it, I just quit listening to radio and switched to jazz CDs. Then my CD changer fucking shook itself apart. There's 4 great jazz CDs in there I'll never see or hear again. So I started singing. I'd turn on Hannity and make up songs about him during his show. Like, "Sean Hannity The Motherfucking Fascist Pederast". During the holidays it was, "The Twelve Days Of Bill O'Reilly Whacking Off In A Loofa".
