According to Arbitron, WBAI has an AQH - listenership in the average quarter hour between 6 AM and midnight - of less than 8,000. We ain't gonna be calling out no mass demos on that. KPFA is a bit better - not quite 10,000. It really hurts to type those numbers. Doug

Or just stick with the 850 words of Basic English? Doug

16495 [lbo-talk] Bartels -- rank: 1000
Let me put in a special word for my interview with Larry Bartels <http://www.princeton.edu/~bartels/kansas.pdf>. In that dry, academic poli sci way, he argues convincingly that cultural issues are not pushing the white working class to the right, and that people are more likely to hold both liberal (or conservative) economic and social points of view. Really worth a listen. Doug
