We were on a redeye recently and in that long list of albums they provided what did I find? Lalo Schifrin's Best of Mission Impossible and Friend and Lover's Reach out of the Darkness. Geez, talk about a throwback. It was a five hour flight so I listened to them over and over.<br /><br />Someone should be flogged for what happened to KGO. They were best of the best.

However, he didn't seem to repeat right wing talking points, came off as more independent, have heard him recently filling in for Prager, and now I find him too predictable, does seem to repeat right wing talking points, however it can be hard to be fair, when you only hear him once in a blue moon. I too experienced the sixties, best time of my life, didn't do drugs, but partied, dated, and travelled a lot. That is what you are suppose to do in your early to mid twenties.

I can tell Prager is smart, I have read 1 or two of his books, and enjoyed them. For a radio host he talks too slow, and his blaming liberals for everything, gets old fast, especially if you are a liberal, like myself. My favorite host of alt times, was Gene Burns, followed closely by John Rothmann, who we thankfully hear more of.

If you have a short attention span, forget it. He reminds me of a guy I knew who started out as an entertainer but made a ton of money in residential real estate. He's well educated but very old school common sense, stuff that doesn't play well out here. I'll listen him and start thinking of people who meant a lot to me that have been gone for years.<br /><br />Hewitt is an establishment lawyer type, deep connections to Republican movers and shakers, etc. He's a little smarmy. My wife can't stand him. He and Roger Ailes are from the same town.<br /><br />I don't dislike Sullivan but he doesn't appear to be a deep thinker. Bennett is great but doesn't play well out here.

I'll refrain from giving details/listing the attendees, as that would sound Radnichesque. Also old enough to remember occasionally listening to Ronnie's radio program back in the '70s. I believe that Reagan actually composed all of the content in those broadcasts, by hand!<br /><br />Yes, Reagan could be very sharp, and he did lose his temper on occasion. His attacks on hippies, environmentalists, unions, the poor, and liberals in general, were not for the faint of heart. But he also had a keen understanding of political systems, and he was a legendary orator. And he did assemble strong administrations. <br /><br />Trump, on the other hand, is just a crude hothead. His actions have caused much consternation for supporters, though he carries on without accountability or shame. He is politically unclear and downright ignorant in many respects. His verbal communication style, as noted by many conservatives, is weak and often inarticulate. At times, the tone of his redundant and overly simplistic presentations reminds one of the Carl Spackler character in the movie Caddyshack. Because of his lack of knowledge, he will be heavily dependent. But when things go astray, Trump's propensity for pointing fingers and cutting people off is well documented. <br /><br />Whether one agreed or disagreed with Reagan, he demonstrated that (on many levels) he was Presidential material. Trump is a full-blown borderline case and a political charlatan, who is going to try to wing-ding his way through a position that is way over his head. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-20711407163357901032017-01-03T23:37:40.640-08:002017-01-03T23:37:40.640-08:00American's really have trouble with that whole...American's really have trouble with that whole socialist communist thing. Let me enlighten you. I'm from Denmark, we are a social democratic country. We do have a lot of social welfare and pay high taxes. However, we also have free speech, private ownership of both business and property. We have socialized medicine, but if you are healthy and can afford it, you can buy your own insurance, so you have a choice, and you are not dependent on your place of employment of healthcare. Nor if you own a business, especially a small to midsize business, do you have to worry about providing health insurance to employers, which can be a burden time wise and financially, I use to have my own business to I understand how much of a burden it can be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-28072663683208258202017-01-03T23:31:18.706-08:002017-01-03T23:31:18.706-08:00To rootvg the republicans will have the Presidency...To rootvg the republicans will have the Presidency, the house and the senate, that is pretty much controlling government.
