Seattle radio sucks.
AM and FM, rock, pop, classical, country, sports and talk, all suck to infinity. There is, quite literally, no way known to man to measure how badly Seattle radio sucks. Sure, there a few high points, but mostly, it is just a broadcasted black-hole. I’ve got 24 full presets covering both modulations, and I’ll just say that I listen to a lot of CDs when I’m in the truck.
But, as I drive from one of my offices to another, at 0100, I don’t generally listen to my CDs because the length of drive is only around three minutes. Instead, I flit through the channels.
Lately, I’ve decided that the loony left is entertaining. This may change at just about any time. Without provocation, I may listen to yet another playing of Zep, Skynrd, Nirvana, etc for those three minutes, but I currently listen to the local Air (central) America affiliate during that timespan.
Last night as I drove from my secondary office to my main one, “The Majority Report”, Garofolo’s show (which she hasn’t been on in a while) was on, and some random chucklehead, whose name I cannot remember, was talking. Apparently now even Seder, Garofolo’s ‘co-host (aka: the one who knows what he’s doing on-air), can’t show up to talk. This sub-guy was so out of his gourd that I had to sit in the cab and wait until the commercial break to go inside the building.
The focus of that hour’s intro/monologue was the death of Ken Lay. Now, I understand that 1. Ken Lay was not a well liked man (to say he was hated by a lot of people would not be an understatement), and 2. Leftists are insane, but good lord, even I don’t know anyone this unhinged.
It started out with “Was it a hit? Was it suicide? Is he really dead?” for around two minutes, going into how White House Press Secretary, Tony Snow, would spin it if it was ever found out that Lay entered the Witness Protection Program. The next four minutes or so started out with “How about the brevity of the autopsy? That’s suspicious!” and moved right on into how the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals MAY overturn Lay’s conviction because:
A. He plead ‘Not Guilty’
B. He hadn’t been sentenced yet
C. He’s dead, meaning he is unable to appeal his conviction.
The random chucklehead host went on and on about how terrible it would be if Lay’s conviction was overturned. Apparently, he is forgetting the first part of item C above.
Just what does this guy (and the folks on the left) want? To get Lay’s rotting corpse sentenced and put it behind bars? Are they that desperate to put someone identified with Bush in prison?
Libby better get himself a teflon suit. If he gets convicted, the leftists may just storm the courtroom and tear him limb from limb, which they’ll later blame on PTSD caused by their loss of satisafaction with Lay’s case.
First, another hack at the chuckehead: Lay wasn’t associated with Bush any more than George Soros was associated with JF Kerry. He was a political contributor, nothing more.
But, all that being said, the possibility of suicide is still there.
So what? If he DID figure out a way to cheat the slamming prison door, he wouldn’t be the first to have figured out he wasn’t strong enough to stand up to a prison term, and find the easy way out.
If Lay killed himself somehow, miraculously making it look like a heart attack, that’s between the good Lord and Ken Lay, and the left has nothing to do about it.
There is no political reason whatsoever that any Bush person might have wanted him dead, so an investigator would pretty much rule out that shaky theory.
Give them their little bit of craziness. Remember the Clinton hack who offed himself? If there’s nothing to talk about, a radio talk show host will make something up.
Listen to Lars Larson a few times and this will be confirmed.
Not a whit of common sense on either side of the aisle with these hot-air purveyors.
CIA shellfish toxin! Skid row bum double! Blah blah blarg where are my meds blah blah blah blah.
I love that stuff. Can only take so much of it.
Heh. Just what do you expect to find on the radio in pine nut granola crunchy land???
sigh… at least you all can conceal carry…

And some writer in New York received an individual 50K “donation” from Ken Lay – I’m tryign to track that down, I read it yesterday but forget where, too damn many blogs…
Found it at Tim Blair, NYT columnist Paul Krugman, the Economist turned policial commentator of some disputable economic-intelligence, who received $50,000 for serving on Enron’s advisory board. And kept the money of course.
“Just what does this guy (and the folks on the left) want? To get Lay’s rotting corpse sentenced and put it behind bars? Are they that desperate to put someone identified with Bush in prison?”
YES!
You have to realize, it’s been over six years since the first cases of Bush Derangement Syndrome and Post-Election Stress Trauma were observed in the liberal population. Without medical treatment, of course these cases are going to worsen. As we all know BDS/PEST often attacks the logic portion of the brain, causes hyperactivity in the emotional centers of the brain, and instances of schizeophrenia where random thoughts are connected to each other in what appears to us as a meaningless collection of gibberish and bullshit, but to them means something.
Unfortunately, BDS and PEST are not in the DSM-IV, and so none of the pharmaceutical companies see it as something that needs to be treated. And even were there a pill these people could take to help them with their conditions, many are so far gone that they’d refuse treatment, saying a pill to cure their BDS/PEST “is just another conspiracy by the BushMcCheneyRoveHaliburtion to steal more money from the pockets of the poor working class to make the corporations richer”.
