Conservative Internet Radio

AM talk radio is one form of media dominated by conservative commentators. Many radio shows also simul-cast over the internet.

I've written before about some local Connecticut shows available on WTIC 1080 in Hartford.

I stumbled upon a station that plays all the big national shows back-to-back-to-back and is available over the internet. "The Big Talker" AM 1210 out of Philadelphia broadcasts Glenn Beck at 9 AM Eastern, followed by Rush Limbaugh at noon, followed by Sean Hannity at 3 PM. They also have local personalities before and after these national shows. I'm able to fire up AM 1210 over the internet starting around 9 AM, and leave it on for rest of the work day.

If you're looking for a one-stop-shop for conservative talk, check out AM 1210. I've included the link below.

Please let Liberty Alert know if you have other favorite radio shows available over the internet.

Twitter-ization

I read this on a bumper sticker the other day:

"READ BANNED BOOKS"

I agree.

New Favorite Link Added to Blog

Liberty Alert has added new links to our list of favorite websites.

A link to the famous Cato Institute has been added.

Check it out at http://www.cato.org/.

Liberty Alert is now a "Basic" sponsor of Cato.

Temporary Hiatus

As the election season has come to an end, and the fall hunting season picks up, you can expect a slowdown (slowdown, not a full halt) to posts on Liberty Alert as I concentrate more on my other blog: connecticutoutdoors.blogspot.com.

I'm still stockpiling post ideas, so there should be plenty of material stored up once winter hits.

If you have any post suggestions, or interesting stories, leave a note. If someone manages to get me riled up enough, I'll surely leave a reply.

Readers Bare with Me

I need to beg the pardon of Liberty Alert readers of late. I've been a bit under the weather fighting a sudden and pesky summer cold, so I'm not able to post with the frequency I would like.

Hopefully this week I will be as close to full strength as I can be to resume my goal of posting once every 1, 2 or 3 days.

Thanks for your understanding.

Restaurant Review: Chevy's Drive In -- Bristol, CT -- Forget About It

I did not plan to use this space to review restaurants, but part of the purpose of this blog is for me to be able to vent. Tonight (7-12-2008) I had an absolutely terrible attempt at a dining experience at Chevy's Drive In on Farmington Avenue in Bristol, CT. I use the word "attempt" because we never got our food. If you are from the Bristol area, I would recommend saving your money and not bothering with this place.
Without getting into details, the service was so bad that I left before my food arrived. The waiters were rude and incompetent. The table next to us left a nasty note telling them what they thought of the restaurant, so it was not just me. If you want the details, leave a post and I can expound.
I hope I can save some of my local readers some time, money, and aggravation.

I apologize to my non-local readers for including such a Bristol-specific post, but this was very likely the worst restaurant experience I have had in my life. I could not let it pass without writing about it.

There. I feel a little better now.

Readers can ignore this one. Just a post to set up a technorati account. Sorry for the inconvenience.

A Note Regarding the Writing in This Blog

Just wanted to let everyone know that most of the writing in this blog is of the brain-to-finger-tips-to-keyboard style of writing. I have a full time job and a full time family, so I don't always have all the time necessary to craft perfect posts. Sometimes you may notice a stream-of-consciousness style. Other times you may see some grammatical issues, or an occasional spelling mistake. I want to take this opportunity to apologize in advance, and ask you to bare with me as I try to add content to the site.As always, if you see a mistake, feel free to point it out in the form of a post. I'll do my best to make corrections.
