Hey you dirty lib'rals!

For the Radio:
Well, I quite enjoy the Stephanie Miller show from time to time. And who can say no to listening to Jim Ward, doing his various voice impressions. (Admittedly, I've never heard him break into his Captain Qwark voice on the show.)

She's also the daughter of William E. Miller, Moderate Republican Barry Goldwater's VP running mate, when he made a try for the Presidency.

Its fun to listen to, and tends to stray a bit more into light-hearted humor than serious politics. Then again, it might have a bit too much mocking for you to enjoy.

For Television:
Countdown w/ Keith Olberman & The Rachel Maddow show on MSNBC might be something worth looking into. They do a pretty good job of backing up their views, but Keith can be a tad much on occasion (sometimes his commentary can be a bit too heavy handed). These days, I just watch the first few minutes, to see if I'm interested in any of the stories he will be covering. Rachel seems okay, but she's on at 9:00, so I haven't really checked her out.

Books:
I'd recommend you look into recent books by John Dean, who was a lawyer for Nixon, but really got along well with Barry Goldwater. He's written a few recent books, like Worst than Watergate, Conservatives without Conscience& Broken Government.

I've read a tad of Conservatives without..., and thought it was written well enough. However, I didn't get far into it, because political books just tend to be too much for me to digest. Give me an article out of Newsweek, or something on Salon.com, then maybe.
