Rush has alway been sensitive and circumspect regarding the number of commericial time on his programs. He stated this many times when he first entered our homes via air waves.

Since he's so popular, his show could be back-to-back advertising if he so chose. However, his commercial breaks are NOT onerous in number except in the last few minutes he's on the air.

Now, anything Fox is another matter. When Fox radio talk show hosts are on, I can darn near clean my entire house during one single set of back-to-back ads.

But I don't complain about the number of commercial breaks on conservative shows. They reflect the basic economic good health of the programs.

I'll bet Err American would die for the number and quality of advertisers on conservative shows.Of course, Err American is basically dead anyhow.

Well you make a good point. I don't know why Rush annoys me so much. Philosophically I am with him and I'm glad he's a voice for so many of us but I really can't listen to him anymore. I just outgrew him. Also, he's been divorced 3 times now and I just don't feel he's that great of a role model either. I appreciate the part he plays in the greater scheme of things.

As for commercials, I know what you mean about the cleaning and that's when I usually do my vacuuming and other loud things... then I dust and stuff when the program is on. It's a very nice way to make cleaning less painful.
