It seems so much nicer now.

Just like right wing talk radio, left wing talk radio has to manufacture talking points as well. Expanding and inflating stories in order to fill a daily three hour program. It’s doesn’t matter if your are Bill O’Riely or Bill Press. Both have to put a little bloviating yeast into the mix. Making it bigger than it really ought to be. Just add a little bla bla bla and it will quickly rise to the top. Most often rise over the top.

Come on, try to host a 3-hour radio program, five days a week and you quickly run out of talking points. Saying the same thing repeatedly in one program. How many times can you rant about income taxes or reversing welfare reform in one daily talk show? You begin saying the same thing three or four times in one hour. Never mind dozens of times in one day.

Think about it. What more can you say about Mit Romney or President Obama that hasn’t been said by a hundred other talk radio hosts? Therefore, you have to resort to truth expansion. Exaggeration. White lies. Black lies. Hammering and personally attacking the opposition. Calling them every name in the book. Ideologues. Morons. Demigods. Idiots. Ignoramuses. Fatheads. Knuckle draggers. Meatheads. Blowhards. And, the list is completely endless. Are you following me?

My best advice is to put your radio in the closet and read the newspaper. And pretty soon, your disposition will improve. People will begin to say you must have had light therapy or are now taken Prozac. Talking nicer and smiling more often. Oh gee! He sounds like a human being again. See there?
