I guess no one knows for sure. But one thing we do know for sure is that he's by far the most listened-to radio host in the country. That's not to say that every listener is a "ditto-head," but the fact that many of his regular listeners do identify themselves as such is scary enough. Obviously I do not have statistics on exactly how many people are ditto-heads.
I don't have a problem with him solely because of his political views either. The problem is that he is constantly lying and embellishing, and a lot of people just accept whatever he says at face value. Now, is that better or worse than the vacuous fluff that is broadcast on TV morning shows? I don't know. You be the judge.
Sorry if this was too P&N-like for OT.

I really don't. I live in a place that has no OTA HD reception, and there aren't any more analog stations, so I just don't bother.
And Kelly is hot .... Until you look at her knees. Ugliest fucking things known to mankind.

I can relate. Previous owner of house treated lawn, I didn't this year and it seems I spend more time trimming weeds than I do grass. The buckhorn is the worst.
Timothy's has 3 mini biscotti for $1. I asked for 1, but the cashier assumed I meant $1's worth so I ended up with 3. I ate two and will have the other one later.
