"let me suggest to you that oprah winfrey is part of the problem," not oprah herself, mind, but her mentality that the government can do no wrong.

he has this oratorical style that is quite compelling. he really builds to a crescendo, and times his ending well w/ the commercial breaks. it's like something out of the 1930's. i've heard of father coughlin, but i've never heard him. i imagine that mark levin sounds a lot like him. only, you know, not catholic.

THE LAST TIME I CHECKED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE OPENED THEIR POCKETS LIKE NEVER BEFORE!! ... WE BELIEVE IN OUR FELLOW MAN! WE KNOW THAT ONE DAY, GOD FORBID, THAT COULD BE US!! ... I'LL BE DAMNED IF WE NEED LECTURES FROM OPRAH WINFREY, HILLARY CLINTON, NANCY PELOSI, OR ANYBODY ELSE!! (rock 'n' roll guitar, intoning of "mark levin," aaaand break.)

now that's what i call peroration!

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.
