Well, Francis, if you don't like him, do like you did during his Jeff Christie days and change the channel. Just stop whining!

[mountaineer]

Francis:

[anniegetyourgun]

Francie pants unloads. I'm thinkin' he's Al Frankens thinner brother.

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

How did I know this guy would look like that? I bet he wears Birkenstocks with white socks too...

[Peach]

This is such a worthless article. It was the NYT who recently completely mis-quoted Kissinger. CNN who had tailhook. The mainstream press has made up stories, quotes, facts - you name it.

[Chi-townChief]

Lighten up, Francis.

[Wondervixen]

>> Maybe they should all have a "Jackass"-style disclaimer put on their shows: "Applying the views heard on this show to real life may be injurious to the body politic."

Here's your disclaimer Francis..."Dumbasses like Francis Volpe who think they are qualified to form everyone elses opinion for them can crawl back under the same rock as the "Hollyweird 100"...We don't want your gasbag opinions and if you get in our faces with them, you may well need tape to hold your glasses up because your nose is gonna get flattened!

Is THAT injurious enough for you, Francis?

[Warren]

Yep, looks like one o them dope smoking hippies that loved McGovern.

[Slyfox]

he described a 12-year-old Chelsea Clinton as "the White House dog"

Francy boy heard that at his last 'seminar caller' meeting.

[MrB]

Hey Francis!
Didn't know your name before now, won't know it when I go home today.
Meanwhile, millions know and love Rush...

[Slyfox]

Friend of Francis:

(Pssst! Rush is a lot skinnier than this feller.)

[jz638]

Lighten up, Francis.

damn, you stole my movie quote...

[mountaineer]

But democracy, not to mention society, doesn't work well when everybody has a closed mind.

Poor Francis must have gotten a "D" in Civics class. Not a democracy, Francis!!

[Snuffington]

This article reminds me of a News Radio episode. The office idiot wanted to have a big story about the "Dilbert" comic strip, because he was sure it was going to be the next big thing. The trouble was, "Dilbert" was already hugely popular. That was the source of the humor - the office idiot didn't realize everyone already knew about Dilbert.

Enter Francis Volpe.

Apparently he has just discovered Rush Limbaugh. Or at least discovered the he was becoming popular. The trouble is, Rush has been the number one rated talk host in the country for over a decade now. Everyone already knows about Rush Limbaugh. Heck, most of us even know about the "shocking" revelations Volpe seems to think he is "breaking" in his article.

There is no longer any need to wonder who plays the office idiot role at the Carlisle Sentinel.

there are more trees in America today than there were in 1787...

that the occasional eruption of a single volcano causes more permanent damage to the ozone layer than the constant assault of industrial pollution....

or that the New York Times buried a news story about positive Republican prospects in the just-passed election to serve some supposed liberal bias.

hmmmm. All these statements are true.

[mountaineer]

Good analogy!

[Straight Vermonter]

Somewhere among all those employees must be someone who can spare a moment for fact-checking. Even first-graders know how to search Google.com. This might have prevented him from once declaring that there are more trees in America today than there were in 1787

Even the envirowhackos do not dispute this one. They say the reforestation of America is the result of all the CO2 in the air and that we have reached the upper level of how much forest the country can have so NOW we will get the high CO2 rates they have been predicting all along.

[Chi-townChief]

Well, he who hesitates ...

L-O-S-E-R ...

Dear Mister Volpe,

Your hairstyle hasn't been popular since "The Night Chicago Died".
