Here in Cedar Rapids we have 600 AM WMT. All we seem to hear is Rush Limbaugh and that Michaelson character. I hope we can put some pressure on this station to change their format. Michaelson in the morning and Limbaugh in the afternoon. It's wonder that the murder rate isn't any higher than it is here in Cedar Rapids. These two characters don't do anything to establish some civility in our society. All they seem to thrive on is fomenting resentments and hostility. Just as the Pantera song goes. “You're making me fricken HOSTILE!!!!! Of course they use a diferent “F” word but this is a family friendly site so cleaned up the lyrics a bit. Catch you later.
