The whole point of free speech is not to make ideas exempt from criticism but to expose them to it.

Where's Shad?

I tuned to KIMM 1150 AM in Rapid City between 8 and 9 this morning to hear Shad Olson talk about liberty (a concept he can't quite grasp). Did I mention I'm a masochist?

Really, I've checked it out daily for a month because I could not believe that KIMM would keep this shallow moron on the air. Today, Imus' fourth hour was back on in that slot. Is it over for Shad?

I'll bet Barb Lindberg found a way to file some papers of incorporation and take over his radio show. She's a crafty one.

Seems your boy Shad filled in for Jim Thompson on 'Live with JT'....???

Bob Newland said...

Yeah, Marty, apparently JT agitated on SO's behalf and got him some trial shows on stations around the area. I don't understand that, except that JT sometimes picks weird causes. I think he backed the wrong horse in Olson; I'm sure Shad sent listeners away in droves.

What did you think of his performance on JT Live?

I listened to about 2 min. of that drivel. The bloviates on the far right and left soapbox make me nauseous. Us middle class folk are more concerned about how to get our country back to work and maybe curtailing the expenditure on the 'Military Industrial Complex'..only 750 bil/yr...

"The main problem in any democracy is that the crowd-pleasers are generally brainless swine who can go out on a stage and whup their supporters into an orgiastic frenzy - then go back to the office and sell every one of the poor bastards down the tube for a nickel apiece. Probably the rarest form of life in American politics is the man who can turn on a crowd and still keep his head straight - assuming it was straight in the first place.
