I think if Savage polled his audience he would discover that a majority of them DO want to hear his take on the current news & politics . The country is falling apart and he talks about the hamburger he fed his dog for dinner . Every time he asks “ So , what do you wanna talk about “ , I cringe .
“A refusal to vote, or a vote for a third party, is not a vote for Obama, or a vote for Romney, but a vote against the charade.”
I don’t want to believe it is a charade, but I gotta wonder how much of this current society is one.
his favorite station, WOR in NYC is getting sold, btw he hates the ryan pick
The worst thing Savage does is his obvious “paid time” segments with decent people from think tanks or WND talking about whatever they pay to talk about, with Savage saying “interesting”, “really?”, or “what else should we know?” every few minutes. Unbearably dumb. I wonder how much he gets paid for those?
Savage : “ This is the end of the Romney campaign. As good a man as he is, Ryan will be portrayed by the Marxists as another rich white male who wants to ruin the environment, destroy Medicaid and Social Security and give tax breaks to the very rich. It’s all over.
The Romney schmucks are so out of touch with reality .... The Romney insiders detest conservatives and are trying to appease this core base with Ryan. Too little, too late.”
I’m completely addicted to Doc Savage. I’m hoping he’s just taking extra time off in the summer - he’s always talking about how nice it is in SanFran in summertime.
Also, he said something about doing a live stage show, maybe he’s prepping - he knows he’s getting an axe.
Clear Channel bought local radio stations in my area and fired everyone - Jay Severin, Mark Levin, Rush who got another station to pick him up.
Scary.
It’s official, Babbin in tomorrow also.
Just said it 2 times as he signed off.
he got a lot of backlash over that romney campaign is over comment
(I know I started some myself http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2917452/posts?page=1#1)
Another 3 day week for Savage . I’ll be tuning in to Levin .
And rightly so .
“And rightly so .”
yep and I was already pretty fed up with savage, not showing up, reading off his website (no show prep), talking about himself, treating his show as a hobby and comments about hollywood (who cares?) and the godfather
BUT this put me over the edge-I like the Paul Ryan pick a lot, if it couldn’t be West-Ryan was the only other one I liked
wtg mitt for picking him!
Savage is full of crap, it is now official imho, I am done with him and disgusted with him
(keep me on the ping list tho :P)
yep and yep
I despise when he says this is too esoteric (for rubes like you)
Weiner “savaged” the Ryan pick. This brings up the question of whether Weiner has two heads because it is hard to imagine anyone could cram that much stupid in one head.
As a long time listener and supporter of Savage, I have a few bones to pick with the good doc. First off, his website sucks. We are adults. A picture accompanying every story isn’t needed. Okay got that off my chest. Number two: Savage tries so damned hard to be the quinessential contrarian that he takes stupid positions just to be an “outsider”, his opinion on Ryan is a perfect example. Anyone with a brain knows it was a good pick and will serve to pull in a lot of fence sitters and undecideds. Even the libs are scared as evidenced by their relentless salvo over the weekend, but Savage seems to think he knows better and is above the fray. No Mike, you’re just plain wrong on this one. I listened to some Rush this morning, and he makes no brilliant insights other than stating the obvious and then chortling about it, and everyday his statements are plastered all over this forum like he’s the Oracle at Delphi. C’mon Mike, snap out of the malaise and get back to some hard hitting shows. Not the silliness, advice crap, nostalgia, fill-ins, or memorex, but the meat and potatoes commentary most of us tune in for.
ping to regular posters...
I would just emphasize what I said above about someone with the science training and IQ of Savage.. for example, what does he think about how everything reduces to electromagnetic waves. I have heard physicists talk about this but what does it mean for Joe and Jane Sixpack once we all understand?
IOW, I do not give a damn about what Savage and Teddy had for lunch. He can instead "take a break" with something substantive and still not have to go out of his way to prepare.
How about the health benefits of turmeric? Savage used to tell us about things like silymarin (milk thistle) -- and as Savage explained he was not talking about Marin County across the Golden Gate Bridge from S.F. where most of the Bay Area's wealthy and silly liberals live. And though I first heard of antioxidants from G. Gordon Liddy, Savage explained them. Thanks to Savage I am in my 70s and don't look a day over.
I bought his book "Herbs That Heal: Prescription for Herbal Healing" years ago.
I am not anything close to a physicist as anyone can tell but I have to wonder about the interest in a Higgs boson as "the means by which elementary particles [quanta] acquire mass."
Obviously I cannot debate the science, however. Thanks for the additional information.
Savage's knowledge of nutrition has been extremely useful for me. I found it much easier to locate stuff on the 'Net with that knowledge.
If he is losing you, he is losing his main type of audience.
If more and more no shows, I’m gonna drop the thread at some point.
