Anyone who's spent a lot of time, say, driving around Iowa after midnight will be glad to learn that "Coast to Coast AM" host George Noory is considering running for president:
“The current crop of political candidates looks out of touch, saying nothing new or genuine. By 2012 people are going to be saying, ‘We cannot continue down the path we have been going as it will lead us only back to the familiar dead end we now see in Congress and the White House,’” he said.
The syndicated radio show is truly amazing, if you're not a fan. Ron Rosenbaum turned me on to it in a classic 2005 New York Observer article:
It’s like a link to an Invisible Republic of the strange, occult Bizzaro World America.
The Old, Weird America of Edgar Cayce (“the sleeping prophet”) and other “Ascended Masters,” of U.F.O. contactees, U.F.O. abductees, alternative-cancer-cure types, Atlantis historians, six varieties of Illuminati conspiracy theorists (including those who believe the evil Globalists are really alien lizards in disguise)—you name it. And 10 varieties of End of the World apocalypticists, including a new one for me: the solar-flare “Killshot” that is rapidly heading for Earth, coming to fuck you up.
This is the late-night American Unconscious in its purest form, unburdening itself of its dream life, its nightmare underside, disclosing the seething fantasies within. All hosted by an astonishingly mild-mannered radio personality, George Noory, who almost heroically gives them all equally respectful attention. (Art Bell, the founder of the show, hosts on Sunday nights now. I once appeared on the Art Bell show in a probably futile attempt to separate myth from reality about Skull and Bones.)
