Its no wonder that the Northeast is irretrievably deranged.
As a resident of this irretrievably damaged state you refer to as Kennedyland, I know just what you mean. I do get a chance though to listen to Jay Severin, Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity, but Hannity is a rebroadcast. These are all on 96.9 FM Talk Radio. And I do have the Internet now...:)
Where were you? I have to stand in the radio stations parking lot to get Err America. WRKO in Boston has great programing. RT. 84 in CT has its dead zones but I can always find something.
"My consternation grew as I surfed again and again and again, hitting the ubiquitous broadcast of AIR AMERICA that seemed to appear 10 to 15 times across the AM dial in this chronically Leftist New England state"
I think that is one station in Western Massachusetts that broadcasts over three frequencies on the AM dial. Not that it does any good...even in Massachusetts, the conservative WHYN (joining FOX on Monday!!!) had a 7.7 in the last ratings cycle, where the combined trifecta of loony lib stations carrying Airhead America was in the gutter with a .8. Yes, that is a decimal before the 8, meaning the audience is miniscule.
And that's Massachusetts. There is a red element to this blue state, at least among radio listeners!
