Comments on: LISTEN LIVE - on the Brian Wilson Show Today (4/23) http://jimbovard.com/blog/2009/04/23/listen-live-on-the-brian-wilson-show-today-423/ Author James Bovard Mon, 21 May 2012 17:18:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Brian Wilson http://jimbovard.com/blog/2009/04/23/listen-live-on-the-brian-wilson-show-today-423/#comment-120602 Brian Wilson Sat, 25 Apr 2009 04:40:50 +0000 http://jimbovard.com/blog/?p=849#comment-120602 Only NPR can claim the joy of "uninterrupted" programming. As the Host, nothing is more inconvieent and frustrating than having to stop a yap fest with Jim Bovard for the WSJ Report or any other "words from our sponsors". But such is the reality of Capitalism and commercial broadcasting. As Program Director,it goes w/o saying WSPD has to provide various programming elements to serve the audience during those vaccuous times Jim or Walter Williams or Tom DiLorenzo or similar guests aren't'on with me. The audience is in dire need of the intel these guests provide -- but commerical radio is a tough "classroom". One almost has to trick the audience into learning the truth. While I am not an aplologist for the WSJ,I can tell you that the Front page and the Editorial page have little in common beyond who signs their paycheck. Stephen Moore,in charge of the fiscal oversight of the WSJ Editorial Dept and writer for their "Political Diary", has been a personal friend since his days at Cato. Any common ground shared by the WSJ and the WSJ Editorial pages is purely coincidental. Only NPR can claim the joy of “uninterrupted” programming.

I hope one day Brian can have you on for a whole hour. There is a difference between the humor Brian and you show. You two are funny. The WSJ report is unintentionally funny, something that the editors wouldn't appreciate. In fact, I've seen stories in their A section that completely contradict the editorial on the same day. Either they don't care or they don't read their own paper. You’re welcome, Jim.

I guess the WSJ "black humor" was a nice segue-way from Brian's and my twisted humor. Ryan - thanks for listening.

I do have one complaint. It wasn't long enough, particularly to cut it short for Wall Street Journal Report which should come under the heading of black humor. Jim,
