11. Too Bad, I Like Chris

I don't dislike Ed but I actually prefer smart concise wonky talk. So people like Chris and Thom Hartmann are my kind of talkers.

Also - with his wife's health issues, didn't Ed want to cut back on his schedule?

As for Air America, I did love the old "Morning Sedition" show of Marc Maron and Mark Riley. Maron's bit where he would say he had gotten his hands on Dubya's day timer was laugh out loud funny.
