Alan Colmes and Paris Hilton's mom? No, it's www.morganfairchild.com

Here's a good LA Times story that ponders what will happen to political Web sites that thrived during the election.

But what will we talk radio junkies do?

In my casual forays around the talk dial yesterday, I heard a doctor talking about nutrition on Ronn Owens, and another medical type talking about vitamins and alternative medicine while Jim Gabbert was filling in for Gil Gross.

I didn't stay long enough to get the details. I know some people are fascinated by talking about their health and become even more so as they get older...but I'm not one of them, especially after the most exciting election season in memory.

Owens also talked about--what?--the death of Princess Diana. Yeah, election season is over.

I didn't hear Rush Limbaugh say this, but I heard Alan Colmes relay the fact that Limbaugh was calling it "Obama's recession." I'll check in there today to hear if that is true. If so, it's the bloated one at his best (or most disgusting).

How can he possibly ALREADY be blaming this on Obama, when the president-elect hasn't been sworn in yet? How can he blame Democrats for underhanded tactics, when this shows he is the master of them?

Colmes, meanwhile,has the only show that actually gives a fair shake to callers on both sides. No show has more rednecks calling, and so few Californians. I love it.

Too early to pass judgment on Joanne Greene, who is filling in for fired fill-in Karel on fired liberal Bernie Ward's KGO 10 p.m. show.

She has the formatics down and sounds erudite and warm, but in that slot, I may need more electricity to keep me up.

What do you think?
