I distinctly remember, in the late 90s, when talk radio was really taking off, sitting at my desk at my proofreading job for the data entry clerks at an HMO listening to the Mancow show (yeah lol) and hearing about how Clinton was going to get FEMA to build all these camps and declare martial law and round up the Republicans, it was all over those talk radio shows.. well... look who's building the fucking camps now, et tu?
