Republicans amass an army to retain corporate control of the public airwaves...

I was strolling through my local county fair this summer, a small fair, a friendly fair, where cows, sheep and pigs outnumber food vendors.

The Republican booth caught my eye, but not because of the red white and blue decorations. What caught my eye was the sign they'd posted, the sign that summed up the one key issue of importance to local Republicans.

What would it be, in this raucous political summer of 2009? Anger over bailouts, fear over death panels? No. The number one issue for Amador County Republicans: "Save Talk Radio."

2. Yeah, no shortage of right wing talk radio there.

Hell, even some of the programs on their "liberal" channel are right wing (that PUMA lunatic Lynn Samuels, for one)

4. The republicans truly fear

a fairness doctrine... and I think people will start demanding it sooner or later.

5. I saw their booth at the fair too!

I was there to see Heart:)

I was tempted to go in and ask them all sorts of questions, calling upon my years in theatre to keep me from splitting a gut cracking up... but I was in too good a mood that day. :)

6. Why? Are they so fat they can't bend down to reach their own bootstraps?

8. It's what keeps them alive

They know that if hate radio got squashed, their days of setting the tone would be over.
