a conservative caller! jerry "has it all wrong" about new orleans. local officials are responsible; they are the frontline in this emergency. what did they do? cry on the radio. the mayor will take the brunt, followed by the governor, according to the caller. no tears in mississippi, which took the brunt of the storm. (which is, yes, technically true, but isn't dealing w/ the new orleans flooding.) nope, the governor of mississippi is a man--and a republican, and the former rnc chair, unlike kathleen blanco. "JERRY, LOOK IT UP!" jerry is getting flustered; where's steve when you need him?

an audible sigh when jerry says, "we don't have a president w/ guts!" ah, partisanship!

my name is fred solinger. on wednesday, september 7, i will provide running commentary on seventeen straight hours of running commentary, opinion, and straight news from a variety of radio stations and television networks. my objective is to be objective ... beyond that, i'm not quite sure, but hopefully it'll be more lucid at 4am, when all of this is over. one thing is for sure: i won't be lucid at that hour.

links to the monitored programs, arranged ideologically*, in alphabetical order, lest i be charged w/ bias:

the fair & balanced:
all things considered
countdown w/ keith olbermann
the daily show w/ jon stewart
dayside w/ linda vester
factcheck.org
hannity & colmes
hardball w/ chris matthews
the newshour w/ jim lehrer
nightline w/ ted koppel
the o'reilly factor

the left:
the al franken show
the majority report w/ sam seder & janeane garofalo
media matters
the randi rhodes show
springer on the radio

the right:
media research center
the rush limbaugh show
the savage nation w/ michael savage
scarborough country w/ joe scarborough
the sean hannity show
the situation w/ tucker carlson

*that is, when the host has an avowed political position; otherwise, they are assumed to be independent. this is as applicable to bill o'reilly, who leans right, as it is to jon stewart, who leans left.
