Has everyone heard of Young Turks?
http://www.theyoungturks.com/

I only ask because the number of comments on their site is always pretty low, and I think they deserve more fans.

Cenk in particular does a great line in well-informed but rage-filled commentary.

2. Oh, that's a different Young Turks.
Odd choice of names.

3. No it isn't -
Cenk is one of the Young Turks, the other is Ben Mankowicz. They're on the net, on Sirius, and Cenk blogs at HuffPost, too.

They're great, I've got Sirius radio so I listen to them regularly.

4. When I hear "Young Turks"
I think Armenian genocide. Which is why I thought it a bit of an odd name.

I've recently heard some local kids talking favorably about the Wobblies. Turns out it's a local band.

5. That's what I think of, too.
Of course hardly anyone I know has ever even heard of the Armenian genocide.

6. That's true.
Including, I suspect, these guys calling themselves "Young Turks."
