Listen to my radio show! Or not, I don't want to force you to do anything you don't want to do.

About Me


Hello there. My name is Russ Lieber and you probably know me from my syndicated liberal radio show "Lieber-Time" and my liberal morning zoo show, "Soy Milk with Russ Lieber" on WXQQ AM 510: "The Spot to Hear Things About Some Liberal Stuff on Your A.M. Dial"TM.
I have also gained some recognition from my many appearances on the “Colbert Report” with Stephen Colbert or my op-ed pieces in the Seattle Moralizer Weekly (100% Recycled hemp paper and corn-ink dye) or my one-person show: “Hello there, my name is Russ Lieber, come see my show if you have the time”.
While you're here, why not read a blog or two:
RUSS TAKES ON RALPH NADER
LIEBER V COLBERT: MARIJUANA
RUSS LIEBER TAKES ON TOM TANCREDO
RUSS TAKES ON FREE SPEECH
RUSS TAKES ON MORE COLLECTABLES
RUPERT MURDOCH'S SECRET LOVES
RUSS LIEBER + THE ENVIRONMENT = BFF!
WHY DO PROTESTERS HAVE TO BE SO DEMANDING?
RUSS LIEBER'S SCATHING LETTER TO GEORGE BUSH
By the by, people often say I resemble a comedian named David Cross and some even ask me if I am related to him. Well I am not. I find his humor crude and far too radical to be part of any serious political discussion. In fact, this site is not affiliated or endorsed by David Cross in any way .
Really, I am not David Cross... but I might be underground hip-hop slashie (producer/MC) superstar EL-P (the one on the right side of the picture... and I am not).
------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------
This is my cousin “Rad” Russ A. Luxemburg. He also blogs here from time to time when he is not protesting out in the streets. Silly cousin, change comes from giving money to some lobbyist group like Moveon.org or a well phrased bumper sticker or a politically moral diet -- not organizing people of similar political goals and interests to make demands and work for the changes they desire! What a crazy idea!
When will people like my cousin ever learn that civil rights were won not through sit-ins and marches and protests against segregated businesses and institutions, it was won when people started affixing “Racist people suck” and “Question Segregation” bumper stickers to their cars?
Take a look at some of Rad Russ' blogs:
RAD RUSS TAKES ON OBAMA & D'SOUZA
OBAMA TAKES ON RAD RUSS?
RAD RUSS' PRESIDENTIAL ENDORSEMENT!
RAD RUSS' PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP
------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------
Due to certain matters I can not discuss here, I have retained the services of a lawyer. He is one of the partners in the firm of Bucholz, Watkins, and Rainbow-Tree and also one of the founders of the “9/11 Fact Movement”.
Somehow, I am now legally bound to allow Mr. Rainbow-Tree to post blogs here from time to time about his nutty totally irrational conspiracy theories involving 9/11, George Bush, the JFK assassination, some missing socks, trans-fats, a contested grade he got in Law School, a tea cozy, the Illuminati, a secret subway system used by gnomes, and a late fee he was charged on a movie he doesn’t remember renting. What a crazy nutjob!
I’m now being told that I’m being sued for libel.
9/11 FACT MOVEMENT NOT GOOGLEABLE!
HIDDEN FACTS ABOUT 9/11
------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------

My Interests

I have interests! Dilettantery for example!

I'd like to meet:

Other liberals who wish to discuss the horrid state of the nation with me (perhaps over some fair-trade coffee and soy milk creamer) so we can feel better about ourselves for our enlightened conversation. We could listen to some jazz as well (smooth preferably). We might even entertain ideas about what one might do to change the direction of the nation… we won’t act on these of course because having a point of view and fighting for it would make us no better than the very conservatives we oppose (...just not very actively or strongly).

------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------

Now you can... DEBATE RUSS LIEBER!

I thought it might be fun to stir the proverbial pot of Acorn Squash Low-Fat Potato and Leek Soup by opening this site up to political questions and debate from my fans.

Simply message a political question to me and I will immediately tell one of my interns to do some research, find out what my likely answer might be, and then post the response. Who knows, I might even answer some of those questions myself by going onto wikipedia.

What Russ has been asked:

ASK RUSS: THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE
ASK RUSS: WHAT ABOUT ALL THAT HAIR?
ASK RUSS: RUSS TAKES ON HUGO CHAVEZ
ASK RUSS: GOD
ASK RUSS: MY HORRIBLE SKIN CONDITION
ASK RUSS: WHO DO I VOTE FOR?

Music:

Music is a splendid way to keep your eardrums limber! It's like squat-thrusts for your ears!

Movies:

I like movies that are purposefully ambiguous and abstract and star Juliet Binoche. I like documentaries as long as they don’t try and convince me of anything.

Television:

I would say, kill your television, but we can’t resort to violence to solve problems. Instead I say:

bring in the UN and engage in diplomatic relations with your television. Don't resort to violence, talk it out with your television for pete's sake!

Books:

Books are a marvelous way to show how smart you are.

Heroes:

My heroes include the great progressive leaders of the Democratic Party such as: Woodrow Wilson who ended all wars by saving Democracy by winning WWI; humanitarians like FDR who gave free housing to Japanese Americans during WWII; Peace-makers like Harry S. Truman who was da bomb! and that other bomb or two; pacifists like JFK who may have at one point (after he tried to invade Cuba and before he was tragically assassinated) considered stopping the Vietnam war by not starting it.

And great liberal mavericks like him too! (The one on the right... side of the picture)
