5. Awesome tribute to Randi

This is a pretty damn well written post about a lady who is truly a hero of my wife and mine. We've been listening to Randi since the old Air America days. I remember her going down to Texas to camp outside Bush's ranch in support of the Goldstar Mothers. This woman walks the walk and talks the talk.

I remember that listening to her show got Astazia and I through many a long summer day during the darkest times of the Bush years, when it seemed that our country might lose its freedom in order to nuture a false sense of security. Like all of us, Randi was totally pissed off, but her calm, logic and passion never failed to help us see the truth. As you pointed out, she was polite but fearless when she was confronted by a conservative caller. She taught me the importance of facts and reasoning when discussing politics with people. She helped to blaze a trail for all of the progressive media who are currently popular. Thanks, Randi!
