Just because
I just really liked today's Bleat. Lileks is particularly good at capturing the feeling of a past he didn't live in. I know that 1941 feeling, but I didn't have it so much in 2001. I had it in 1989, though.
I've got to admit that most of the time when I listen to AM radio I have the same experience he had, but with ultraconservative ranters instead of ultraliberal ones. So I don't listen to AM radio much, except for WKBW, which is (eerily enough) the only station my 1939 GE radio picks up.
