Rush. I listen if I'm on the road between 9 and noon, and occasionally to the "Rush replay" on KFBK Sacramento from 10pm to midnight. He's not as funny as he used to be, and he does talk about golf too much, but his recovery from hearing loss is a remarkable thing. If he was a liberal, Oprah etc. would be gushing about how brave and wonderful he is.
Dr. Bill Wattenburg. He's not a conservative in the standard sense, but he is death on environmentalists, and his knowledge and arguments are solid. He's one of the few people I know who loathes greens as much as I do. (Hi there, Grampa Dave.) He's got a wealth of scientific and practical knowledge that makes him perhaps the best informational broadcaster I have ever heard. He's on KGO San Francisco, but the hours are irregular - lately he's been filling in for the aforementioned Gene Burns. If you want to know more about him, there's a fan website at http://www.pushback.com/Wattenburg. It amazes me that he emanates from a sick sick sleazeville like Sin Freaksicko.
Dennis Prager. The best of the socially and morally-oriented talkers. Some of you are of course more tuned in to economics and national defence, but there aren't enough articulate family values conservatives out there. BTW, although this guy is so polite and nice he can remind you of the Stuart Smalley character on SNL, he drives immoralist liberals into apoplexy. He's got his own website too, at http://www.dennisprager.com.
Dr. Laura. I used to be very down on her, and her voice is hardly ideal for radio. Then I worked for a couple of weeks with a group of women in an office who listened to her every afternoon. I changed my mind. Laura is great because 1. she insists on putting the interests of children first, which of course enrages single mothers and casual divorcees 2. she understands that "blended families" are a bad idea, and that fairy tales aren't full of evil step-parents for nothing 3. she understands that a lot of "therapy" is either useless or positively harmful 4. she understands that making everything a question of mental illness that can be treated both destroys moral reality and increases the income of therapists and finally 5. she never bashes men as a class, and expects men to act and feel like men and women to act and feel like women. All that said, I don't actually listen to her that often on my own initiative :-) . John Carlson. If the reception is good enough or I'm close enough to Seattle, I check out John. He's articulate and classy, and so not often flustered by the liberal callers that the area unfortunately has no shortage of.
