Radio Show

Jim/Bax:

You two are definitely more interesting than the bunkum and balderdash on television. Why not do dueling commentary in the newspaper. Or better yet, get some local radio time and have people call in. I would love to hear you guys take some dimwit phone calls. You can use pseudonyms, of course.

It can be done.

I once spent the better part of a year traveling to a town of 20,000 (Palestine, Texas), that had more or less been politically taken over by a loose cannon on the local public radio. His show was proudly hillbilly. The county judge sued him for $8,000,000 in an entirely appropriate slander suit. (In Texas they don't pay off on that kind of settlement; it's a little like your photo speeding tickets in Arizona.)

He was still on the air, last I heard.
