Including the one I just replied to.

Hapless fuckers are stuck in a truck cab with nothing to listen to but right wing radio over about 90% of this country and you expect them to come out raging liberals.

I listened to to RW radio for years and all it did was make me more liberal but that's not the way it works on most people, that shit is insidious and designed to make you angry because anger is addicting and will keep you coming back for more. Anger is what you use to stay awake at three AM on a deserted highway, it's an old friend who helps you get your boring ass job done.
