randi rhodes, you might not know, has an impressive military record. in 1979, she was voted "most valuable woman" in the air force for her skills as a mechanic. she credits her experience in the military for helping shape her political beliefs. that's right, true believers, the military, w/ its belief in fraternity (and sorority!) and never leaving one of your own behind, led randi to the liberal beliefs she espouses today.

before she joined 'the view,' joy behar had a talk show back on wabc (back when they had liberal voices on the radio). in both her politics and her fantastic brooklyn accent, randi reminds me of joy. let's hope she doesn't get gentrified, though.

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.
