My conservative radio report wrap-up:

A couple weeks before the election, I decided to take one for the team ... I decided to voluntarily listen to my local AM conservative radio outlet, whenever I was in my car. And I would do this until the day after the election. morning I got to listen to some guy named Garret during my morning commute and beck during my commute home. It was brutal; but I endured.

I'm happy to report ... beck spent my entire commute begging for "investors" to fund the up-dating/up-grading of The Blaze. It had the distinct stench of that freerepublic guy's fund-raising drives ... In other words, he was shilling a scam. But the funny part was he actually TOLD his marks that he planned to fleece them.

He called for "a limited number" of "investor" that he was willing to allow to invest in his 100% beck owned company, the blaze. And he would continue to be 100% in control after their investment. And what would these "investors" get for their money? The opportunity to "educate america at a time when time is running out. (and here comes the rimjob line) I promise to spend every single dollar invested in this vital ... essential venture, in the venture. I will not use a dollar to pad the bottomline."

What could go wrong here?

I was struck by a thought ... beck should be VERY, VERY careful in his actions. His audience is, by definition, unhinged ... there is no more dangerous a group as "righteously indignant warriors", betrayed by charlatans that they believed to be on their side.

Fortunately, the data suggests that this affected group's anger (and violence) starts with the Judas.
