Why is it that Sean Faggity requires callers to start the conversation with "Sean, you are a great American?" Does he need reassurance of his patriotism daily in order to not go, say, postal? And do the callers actually think this way? I mean, what exactly has he done? Firstly, he is a pussy. I don't think anyone can argue that he is not. He has not served in the military. (Either have I; the difference being that I haven't outwardly stated that the American forces should be thrown into heavy and deadly combat all across the world for sheer political gain, as Sean has.) Does Mr. Faggity portraying himself as a great American replace his failure to graduate from college? Maybe; he ain't that good at smart. (Satire.)

Some people wonder why I listen to crap like the Sean Faggity show, why I wander the radio dial over to that shitfest known best as the show "hosted by the one and only ass-clown, Sean Faggity," every now and then. The answer, my friends, is endless material. And it is free. It is just there waiting for you to listen. I believe the transcripts of these shows (if they exist, I can't find them) could be advertisement fliers for liberals running for Congress, for current Senators arguing liberal ideals on the Senate floor, and opinion writers and bloggers to unveil the insanity that encumbers the right.

You cannot get this material by listening to NPR or Al Franken. I find myself having a hard time listening to someone I agree with. What's the point? You have to sift through countless articles on Slate and Salon.com, paragraphs of columns by Maureen Down and Paul Krugman, all accurate and intelectually stimulating, but where's the juicy stiff. It's on precious right-wing radio. Ten minutes of right-wing radio is roughly ten blog posts-worth. [One-post-per-minute rule-of thumb theory; reyonthehill, 2005.]

Now I confess that, at times, I must change the channel away from Sean Faggity to my music, most recently Trey Anastasio, because I would rather drive my truck into the concrete barricades on highway 680 than listen to Sean Faggity finish his comments on why liberals promote a culture of death, and how liberals must never get control of the House or the apocalypse will be upon us. (A little dramatic, Sean. Didn't you love the Reagan 80s?) But at the same time, I am intrigued. It sickens me. Here is a man, or what we believe is a man (I don't think anyone has confirmed this), Sean Faggity, that is so demented, so ridiculous and so ignorant about facts, that millions of people listen to him. Millions of people call in and let him know that he is a "good American." I guess I am missing something. Oh yes, ignorance is bliss.
