As often as possible, I listen to both his radio and TV show. I'm definitely an Ed Head, and believe he serves an extremely important role. He's an alpha male who's unafraid to express liberal ideas without having ignorant, insecure right wing males question his masculinity. That makes it OK for other men to broaden their perspectives.
In my opinion, one of the banes of our shoot-first-think-later culture is the pathetic way so many men mindlessly cling to obsolete ways of thinking about what it means to be a "real man." I, for one, am sick of it, which is why I love Ed!
