I had talk radio on for a little while in the car today. There's a hot local story that I'm {cough, cough} interested in, and I scrolled around on AM for a while to see if anything was up.

What I found instead was audio bile. I switched around but couldn't find anything but nastiness. Some guy, maybe Rush Limbaugh, talking about how he doesn't care whether poor folks use their tax credit to feed their kids peanuts and popcorn. Dr. Laura telling someone, "You people may think you're married, but you aren't." Then Sean Hannity letting callers have 30 seconds apiece to dump on Hillary.

I confess I actually enjoyed that last part a little. Before I put on some much more interesting FM jazz, one guy told Hannity: "I hate Hillary just because she's am-bitch-ous."
