Even MORE blogs that I dig (Part 3)....

1) “Rachel Maddow’s Blog”: http://www.airamerica.com/maddow/blog

Rachel Maddow is one of my favorite hosts on AirAmerica radio…though I don’t get to listen to her much anymore. I love her biting, sarcastic humor…particularly in the face of the big mess that’s growing around us in the United States and abroad. It’s also nice to see her talk about things other than politics, though I don’t really care much for the blogs that talk about cocktail recipes or anything that relates to how she likes to have a good drink every so often…as I don’t drink myself. Several years back, I often thought about how nice it would be to go out with her sometime…until I learned she doesn’t swing that way. Shot down again….

2) “SamSederShow.com”: http://www.samsedershow.com/

Sam Seder is another of my favorite AirAmerica radio hosts…although I don’t hear him much these day ever since he lost his daily show and moved to Sundays. He’s basically a comedian who’s serious about the state of affairs in America and abroad…making it easy for me to relate to him on so many levels. Lately, he’s been paying close attention to the Presidential primaries…and, like me, he’s less than impressed by what he’s seeing. Admittedly, I have no interest in following the primaries that closely…because in my mind, every candidate is saying the exact same thing: whatever it takes to get him/her elected. In any event, I would love to meet and chat with Sam someday…we’d probably have a lot to talk and joke about.

3) “The Lionel Show”: http://www.airamerica.com/lionel/blog

Another of my favorite AirAmerica hosts (even though I liked Lionel well before he officially joined the AirAmerica family), Lionel is the consummate intellectual…and I guess that’s why I relate to him so well. He likes to think and discuss objectively, and encourages critical thinking from his listeners…though it seems many are either unwilling to do it, incapable of doing it, or both. Like many other AirAmerica hosts, I’ve considered calling Lionel so I could talk to him…although since we’re pretty much on the same wavelength, I probably wouldn’t have much more to add to his show other than to keep up the good work. I’d enjoy having a conversation with him sometime as well…I’ve always gravitated toward older people, particularly those I perceive as particularly mentally sharp…it probably stems from my desire to find those I perceive as equals, though I know my chances of actually being able to befriend Lionel, Sam, Rachel, or any other AirAmerica host is pretty slim for me right now. Oh, well…I can still dream, right? Incidentally, I’m a little surprised to learn about what’s going on with Dr. Phil lately (Friday, January 18th, 2008)….
