I post my message to Air America, verbatim:

I have listened to Air America Radio since the first day of broadcasting, first streaming over the web and now on 1600 AM here in Austin, Texas. And there is only one show that I listen to on a daily basis, that I never miss: Morning Sedition with Marc Maron and Mark Riley.

KEEP MARC MARON AND MORNING SEDITION!

Anyone who thinks that there is not enough political discussion on this show is obviously not paying attention. Anyone who thinks that humor is bad for radio (especially morning radio) needs to get out more. This show is hilariously funny — unlike Al Franken, to be perfectly honest. I admire the man and the writer but can’t stand his radio show. Or Randi Rhodes, for that matter, some days she’s the Dr. Laura of the progressives.

But Marc and Mark and the entire rogues’ gallery at Morning Sedition not only make me think, they make me laugh. Which is a damn good thing because most of the news they discuss would normally make me weep.

KEEP MORNING SEDITION WITH MARC AND MARK! Leave them alone! Renew Maron’s contract! Give both Marcks and all their writers a raise!

But I’ll settle for being able to continue for years enjoying my morning dose of Marc and Mark.

Sincerely (but not respectfully, honestly, I have to wonder where your heads are that you’d even consider getting rid of Marc Maron, exiling Rachel Maddow was criminal enough),

Listen to Air America on Austin radio 1600 AM or streaming on the web (as I do). Listen to the audio highlights of the hilarious skits: Lawton Smalls, Rapture Watch, Newsdaddy Wayne Gilman and many others.
