Nary a chance missed by Norry to bash the President as millions listen in. The man is a great broadcaster IMO (I've listened to radio since the 1940s) but he is absolutely obsessed with hatred for "Daddy Warbucks Republicans" especially Halliburton.

George Noory a great broadcaster? He and his mentor Art Bell are a pestilence on the AM dial! All they do is interview a never endling list of worthless charlatans and paranoid dingbats, while posing nary a critical question.

Unfortunately, they broadcast at night, which means they fill the dial as the skip rolls in. If so many sheeple were not addicted to listening to them, perhaps a few more stations around the country might find something worthwhile to put on instead (like the Rush Limbaugh reruns on WBAL 1090 out of Baltimore).

As much as both Art Bell and George Norry drive me nuts (global warming and "peak" oil and "Daddy Warbucks" Republicans, respectively) both are excellent radio personalities, IMO. BTW, "Daddy Warbucks" is my term and is from the W.W.II-era -- even when Democrats are in charge and America is fighting for Her life many Rats have nothing but acrimony for political opponents. Go figure.

Both have addressed the "posing nary a critical question" question. Yes the guests say what they please, as long as it is not going to insult the audience. Both have terminated guests and on a few occasions there has been turmoil off air. I started listening to Bell about twenty years ago before UFOs.

But here's the important part. Few guests are crackpots. Some deal with outside the mainstream stuff. But! A large number of guests are mainstream reporters, businessmen, scientists, educators, etc. and they are on for three hours usually -- not ten or fifteen minute sound bites. If you can / have to stay awake at night most shows are worth it. IMO.
