SLO Has Air America

One of the local AM stations here has just switched to Air America the new liberal radio network with Franken and company. I was tuned in a bit of the Randi Rhodes show on my way out of town on Thursday. She really kicks ass. I think this might be the public discourse form of crack. Not good for your mind, not good for the republic, but sure is fun to hear. Another interesting thing is that the station AM 1340 used to have all conservatives. It didn't have Rush but it did have Sean Hanity the conservative (and better looking) part of the FOXNEWS debate show. There used to be 3 conservative AM stations and a FM Sports/News station that had Bill O'Reilly. I guess 1340 didn't want to be the #3 conservative station when it could be the #1 liberal station. So the good people of SLO now have "Left Coast Radio." The forces of light gain a little ground.
