Anyone else ever listen to talk radio shows? Has anyone else ever called in on one? Don't. The host talks as though the show is about conversation, but the host never lets a person who disagrees have their say. It really is frustrating.
I listen to a show every night while at work called Texas Overnight with Charlie Jones. This is your basic conservative radio talk show (from midnight to four a.m. CST) with a host that claims to not like the president, but tends to defend almost every policy our brave leader supports. I'm a pretty liberal minded guy, so it angers me somewhat. I call maybe two or three times a week, because I am an idiot. He'll say something that will anger me, so I'll call. The screener will take my call, ask my name and where I'm from, and inquire as to what the content of my call will be. I tell him I disagreed with something Mr. Jones said concerning (insert subject here). By the time it's my turn in line (usually a fifteen minute wait), I'm not as fiery. The host knows I disagree with him, and does everything he can to find something we agree on just to avoid being confronted. If I do manage to get out what I was trying to at the beginning, he goes on a long monologue without giving me a chance to respond to anything he says. Maybe I'm just too nice to interrupt and say, "um...no." In the end, he never really answers the question I call in with and leaves me agreeing with him.



I find it annoying as well, but I have found that recent events have made if more of a comedy show than anything. Since most of these guys are conservatives who think they have power within the "machine", it's funny to listen to them since they woke up one morning and had no candidate to support without showing their shallow convictions when it comes to the issues.
Ever wonder what's wrong with mainstream conservatives? They listen to these political entertainers, thinking they listened to the news or some credible political analysis and then go to work and repeat it to everyone while acting as though they believe in something.
It would be like me watching the Daily Show then going out into the real world and getting irrate because some stupid ass won't believe me when I tell him that Bush was beat-boxing while he gave his state of the union address.
