    I meant to put this on the other thread, never got the chance.
    Goofball is trying to sell a book on this topic.

    Did anyone here even know that before the garbage came out of his mouth?
    I bet not.
    Mission accomplished, Mister Weiner.

    My question is -- who in the hell listens to this guys show?

    He is a world class blow hard who just rambles and rambles about nothing and everything he says is inflammatory and way over the top.

    I can see the attraction to Rush (though I am not a fan), who is funny and entertaining and at least tries to talk about relevant topics, but I have never figured out what redeeming qualities Hannity, Glenn Beck and this idiot Savage bring to the table because all three are just idiotic and unlistenable.

    I'm a little offended at all this talk about ADD/ADHD being like a little fucking headache or sore throat.

    Is it as serious as something like autism? No. But in a lot of cases, it's a very real problem.

    Some quack doctors giving unneccesary medication to some children doesn't mean the whole thing is a farce.

    Savage seems like he's just counter programming by stations who can;t afford to carry Rush or Hannity.

    1). Mark, I think I said something about the book on the first thread and on the post that started this one.
    2). Zag, you surprise me. You're not a Rush fan?

    I thought everyone on this board was a Rush fan. Don't you people plan your vacations around their concerts?

    Rush sucks, they couldn't open for the Go Gos.

    It's OK. No big deal.

    I am a fan of the band Rush, well, not a big fan, but I'll listen to their music.

    I am not a fan of the radio personality named Rush. I can admit he is good at what he does, it is just not my cup of tea.
