I have a bunch of catching up with his show to do, too. I've been enjoying shorter, pithier windbags lately, but he injects the amount of humour I want, where others do not, and I find myself injecting the smartass comments that I wish were there, when he injects his own brand of smartassery, which is different than mine, and I appreciate that. I can absorb other comedic style listing to that kind of thing, perhaps. We need more humour; news and everything in general is starting to make me angry instead of amused again, and I confess, that is a personal shortcoming, but I guess nobody's perfect.
There's a song I often think of when consuming news.

The lines that always get to me are -
I throw empty beer cans at the TV when I’m watching the news
I hate republicans, I hate democrats, I hate liberals too
I think pacifists are weak, and violence is wrong
But I go limp for police and I fight when it’s called for
FUCK! Poaltube is being a cuntastic bitch to me right now!
But I looked up the song with those lyrics, and TIM BARRY sounds exceedingly clever and I look forward to hearing this when I can. I am also disappointed in myself for not hearing of this fellow - but now I have, thanks to you!
I'm keeping a tab with that link open so that I remember to reload it periodically to the point where it results in something other than an error.

eh, there's the youtube should you choose. I had to head there first before posting it to poaltube at any rate. He's the ex-frontman for Avail that started a solo folk career after his punk rock days. He's really pretty good. Makes music that resonates especially w/ me as we're both from RIC and much of the music is specific to the region and surrounding areas in context.
