Air America

Can I just say how much this AM radio dial means to me. Stephanie Miller in the morning; I used to listen to her late at night in the mid - 90's after I would get done teaching aerobics in the valley. And I said then as I say now, this chica has talent, brains and humor. And lo ten years later, she gets me thru the morning. Stephanie and the mooks - I LOVES YA!

Then there's Thom Hartman. Is this not the smartest guy on the radio - EVER!!!! I find myself listening intently to the minutia of oh so many bills, clutching the stearing wheel of my car. And then afterwards asking myself, can you believe you were actually listening to trade issues related to early american tariffs?????

Randi Rhodes is a category all by herself. My petit rather elderly mother in Arizona who had moved there after living 65 years in North Dakota, loves her. BUT, she asks, is she a big black woman from New York? Not that that matters...to which I laugh uproariously. No mother, she's a HOT jewish girl from Florida who now lives in New York. Oh, ok I guess I like her then. Altho I don't always agree with Randi, she sounds a lot like my late friend and mentor in the advertising business, Harry Taylor that I adore her as much as I adored him. God grant him peace.

And then there's Ed Schultz. I remember when he used to coach football. That's how far Eddie and I go back. I was there in Fargo when he was the local golden boy. AND I LIKED HIM THEM. I am so proud of him and Fargo for having succeeded in creating a national show that is true and honest and progressive. If there was anyway they could use me here in Los Angeles, I would.

I sometimes feel like Forrest Gump in that I've been on the edge of so many popular things........

RUN FOREST RUN !!!!!

Fargo and North Dakota are about those spirits I've mentioned before. Education, Responsibility Tolerance, and care.
