I’m a huge fan of National Public Radio. It being what I listen to most these days as I can’t stand most of the music stations in our area and I’m not ready to pay for satellite radio.

Just wanted to let everyone know that the alternative to right-wing wackos: Air America, is now broadcasting in the Detroit area. They can be found on the AM dial at 1310. Do you smell that?… I think it’s a breath of fresh air… I’ve mentioned before that I don’t watch much TV because the majority of it is crap.
