I really enjoyed the O'Franken Factor. I must confess that I just love hearing AF say "Bush is going DOWN!" It's my motto until November 3. And the Bob Elliot bit was a hoot; it's great to hear him on the radio again. I caught a few other bits of another show this morning that was a little too smug & sour for my taste--the sort of lefty holier-than-thou-ism that turns off open-minded moderates.
Like most members of this list I have major problems with Kerry, and I wish AF would bring a more critical perspective to his attitude towards the Dems. But I was favorably impressed by his show and I think the station is a useful and beneficial presence on the airwaves.
Regards,
Gary

This one just impinged on my consciousness. Does anyone else think that it betrays (at the very least) a certain lack of attention to detail that Al Franken & Co have decided to name their radio station after the CIA's "airline" cum-drugs-smuggling-operation in Southeast Asia?
