        Those are some pretty "top notch" sponsors right there.

        Let me pre-empt the trolls.

        "BUT HE HAS RATINGS!!! LOL!! Beck gets more and better ratings than Maddow, Olberman, and Schultz. COMBINED!!!! LOL!!!! LOL!!!!"

        There, did I do a good impression or what?

                True enough. Although, I do live in very liberal DC these days, so I'm mostly amongst friends there. And the conservatives I work with, are more along the line of deep thinkers, who tend to like to debate things, rather than repeat talking points and all.

          You hippokrit LIBS want to censer Beck and deny his freedom of speech just because he has a different opinionn.

          (There. I even threw in a few misspellings.)
