The Al and Amy Show
Boy, it’s great to be liberal in Minnesota.
While the usual suspects remain ever vigilant for any hint of political malfeasance involving Rep. Michele Bachmann, Sens. Al Franken and Amy Klobuchar get off scot-free for voting in favor of Obamacare’s medical devices tax before they were against it.

The Global Warming Head Fake circa 2007
Selective editing by our liberal friends in the mainstream media is becoming a bit of an epidemic. Recently, MSNBC edited video making it look as though second amendment advocates were interrupting a witness at a congressional hearing on gun control when in fact he had asked the audience a question.

Hmmm…no doubt we’ve burned some bridges at ‘RDU given our on-air critique (pursuant to so many of your calls) of the decision, but if enough listeners call the station’s GM @ 919-878-1500, well…who knows? Of course, if you’re in any other market listening to this program, let ‘em know you’ve got a replacement in mind. Crazy time to be in the radio biz.
