... It's Thom Hartmann! Yes, that's right: Air America Radio's most popular liberal radio host is going to be broadcasting LIVE from Darfur this Friday. Unfortunately, those living in Milwaukee know better than most just how horrible it can be to be stuck with nothing for blow-hard conservatives on the radio (Mark Belling and Charlie Sykes, just to name a few). The good news? You can listen to Thom Hartmann for FREE just by going to AirAmerica.com. Here are the details:

 When: Friday, from 11am to 2pm.

Where: www.AirAmerica.com

Who: Thom Hartmann

This is a historic opportunity, and it's a shame we in Milwaukee don't have a liberal radio alternative to broadcast this show. There are a lot of people in Milwaukee who simply don't share the same racist views as Mark Belling and absolutely do not agree with Charlie Sykes' constant barrage of bull crap. Despite the fact that both Thom Hartmann and Randi Rhodes regularly beat out the larger conservative competition in even the largest markets, we in Milwaukee are forced to listen via the Internet.

I dropped a tip the Journal Sentinel because I thought this might be a great story, but don't hold your breath. Will anyone provide us with a liberal talk radio alternative in Milwaukee? I would patronize the businesses that advertise with it.

Yours,

Ken Brosky
