The Ignoble Experiment.

24 hours until Progress Media's liberal news/talk Air America Radio goes on the air. WNTD-AM 950 in Chicago is ready.

New Yorkers can tune in on WLIB-1190 AM. Los Angeles can find it on KBLA-1580 AM. San Franciso, you're on your own. The Internet doesn't wanna give up the station. Sorry, guys.

Other markets, find out where to tune in here.

I've had my doubts, but after spending an hour listening to Franken emasculate a Limbaugh dittohead live on Howard Stern without breaking a sweat, I'm pretty convinced he can handle a show of his own... And, amazingly enough, manage to make it entertaining. I just hope the ads aren't unbearable ten-minute blocks of weight loss supplement promotions; Commerical radio already drove me away screaming once.

Janeane Garofalo and Chuck D have shows, too. No idea how they'll handle it, although Garofalo is entertaining enough when she guest-hosts Loveline. We'll have to see.

Either way, anything would be better to listen to while I ink than Wheel of Time audiobook number umpteen. TUG BRAID SMOOTH SKIRTS EMBRACE SAIDAR.

"TUG BRAID SMOOTH SKIRTS EMBRACE SAIDAR."

So funny because it's true.

God I wish I could stop reading the stupid books.

So about how much of one of those books
do they have to cut before they can convince
someone to read it out loud? It takes Robert
a page to describe a character SITTING DOWN.

Don't forget FOLD ARMS UNDER BREASTS.

Key to reading Robert Jordan: scan the pages until you get lost, go back a paragraph or two and pick up the stuff you missed. Read until story gets boring again. Rinse. Repeat.

I got as far as Book Three before I said fuggedaboutit. Reading RUNE LORDS now....
