Among my podcast list on iTunes is The Lionel Show. Lionel is a great radio personality and usually puts on an entertaining show, especially when he belittles his crew or makes an incredible amount of sense, which is rare among most of the Dems I know. He is one of the few hosts, if not the only, on Air America who actually has some brains and isn't a knee jerk liberal.
Ever since the holiday break, I have been waiting for my regular downloads of fresh shows. However, Lionel has been absent from these updates and I was beginning to wonder what happened. Were Derm and Juice and the boys just being lazy? This was my first assumption given the verbal lashing Lionel dishes out from time to time, mostly to goad them I think.
The answer turns out to be something more honorable and downright likable: Lionel is in Israel covering the current round of action in the never-ending saga of conflict in the Middle East. I haven't heard any of his broadcasts from the front lines myself, but have checked his website for updates. He has visited the town of Sderot, where Scott Baker and Liz Stephans of The B Cast experienced a rocket attack from Gaza while touring a local television station, long before this latest struggle.
