The Savage Nation

[sspadowsky]

"Pickem and choosem," eh? I'd say that lumps me in with about, oh... I dunno, 6 billion other people, give or take. I find some things funny; others, not so much so. Kinda like... you. And everybody else.

However, I'll indulge your irrepressible urge to be a contrary prick for no particular reason, and clarify: First, I find Savage to be funny. He's a scream. Probably not in the way he intends, as you said, but he is indeed funny. More importantly, unless you were listening to his show yesterday, you didn't hear what I heard, and when he talked about deporting the ACLU, he was 100% dead serious. Or at least he purported to be on the air. Had he followed with, "I'M SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF MY FUCKING LUNGS BECAUSE I'M JOKING!" then, well, I might have given a chuckle, and said, "Mike, you wacky yuckster." But if there's some subtle turn of phrase or whatever, that only a joyful, laugh-a-minute character such as yourself would have noticed, it didn't come across as humor.

I say, wind him up and watch him go. He'll eventually go further and further out into space, until even hardcore Art Bell fans think he's a weirdo, and then he'll go off the air. I just wonder how someone with such drunken redneck barfly rhetoric got on the air in the first place.
