I'll agree with these comments, too. While I am certainly conservative by
Cambridge standards, here in N.H. I'd probably be thought of as being on
the liberal side.  Definitely not the radical right.  I, too have noticed
that many conservative talk hosts, while sometimes having guests or
opinions that are pretty far out there, DO sound sound like intelligent
people with well thought-out opinions, not just knee-jerk anti-everything.
Indeed, the liberal hosts tend to be the ones that are either babbling
idiots like Leykis or the California touchy-feely wishy-washy types like
Jerry Brown.

Like it or not, there are those in high places who would just love to keep
tabs on us all, a la 1984, for our own protection, of course.
