Why is Paul Harvey still on the radio?
Add the fool, Paul Harvey, to the list of media members who still question global warming. He makes a tongue in cheek jab at Gore being nominated for the Nobel becuase of his Global Warming initiatives, then asks if it a coincidence that Phoenix his experiencing below average temperatures. I thought that we had moved past that stage; I thought that even BIG OIL and the WH agree that the planet is warming. The question on the table is whether or not this warming is due to human behavior, isn't it?

(cut to a few minutes later)

BBBWWHAHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAA *snarf*.... I had written my blurb above and thought about linking the audio from good ol' Pal's website. What a hoot!

www.paulharvey.com

Here are some things you will find there:
A picture of Pres. Bush putting an award around a wax statue of Mr. Harvey.
"How to use internet radio" (Complete step by step instructions.)
"Listen to Paul Harvey through your computer over the Internet!" (Exclamation point not mine.)
"For more information regarding the wedding ring for the blind, log on to ____" (Truly wtf!)
"Please click here to read about "Living Better with Plastics"" (This had great potential but was a disappointing click.)

I CAN'T RUIN THE PUNCHLINE OF THE WEBSITE. FOR THAT YOU HAVE TO GO THERE YOURSELF. THAT PAUL HARVEY, WHAT A JOKESTER! LOOK AT THE TITLE OF HIS WEBSITE. FRIGGIN' HILARIOUS!!!!

1. Take it easy on society's multicentenarians
Paul Harvey had already been in radio for twenty years before George Washington chopped down the cherry tree, and the attidutes that Paul learned back then have served him well--wholly unchanged--in the centuries since then.

4. He has power.
And when he dies, it will not be over. He has a son who is just as bad. He will be on the radio, too.

5. Why do people actually listen to him?
What kind of fucked up retarded jackass listens to anything he says anyway?

Go to his site, and the first thing you see is how he is the most respected newsman in the world!

SERIOUSLY!

And Lichtenstein has the most powerful military in the world too! and the Timex sinclair 1000 is the most advanced computer in the world! and coal is the most efficient energy available! and plastic is the most nutritional food source there is!

What kind of idiot could even begin to believe that site?

7. "Clinton Chronicles" Pusher Paul Harvey
Hick commentator Paul Harvey was part of a programmed effort to attack the Clinton Presidency. He pushed the wild tales purported and told where to buy the hit-piece video "The Clinton Chronicles."

http://www.publiceye.org/conspire/clinton/Clintonculwar8-08.html

In the 1980s our stories would not have gained any traction. Now they are "posted" within hours of publication, and are then perused by the producers of radio talk shows, who surf the Net in search of avant-guarde material. A good scoop may be picked up.... read on the air by G. Gordon Liddy, Paul Harvey, or Chuck Harder. It might be featured by Blanquita Column, or by Rush Limbaugh, with his 20 million "ditto heads."63

Horse-brained Harvey was as much apart of destroying Clinton and the Democratic party as were those that produced the video, killed the Trial Lawyer support of Dems, or tried to bankrupt the Dems with law suits and investigations.

Harvey should be horse whipped for being an ass, liar and fucking weird rustic nut job.

11. I don't know, but my grandfather who idolized FDR and was a very
strong democrat and union man enjoyed listening to PH and his "The rest of the story..." segment.
