http://www.airamericaradio.com/ is another free talk
radio stream (New York-based) with some popular
personalities (Al Franken, Janeane Garofalo, and other
Comedy Central comics).

Locally KCUR (UMKC NPR station, http://www.kcur.org/)
offers free streaming web radio.

Neither site requires registration.  

AirAmericaRadio is available on the XM Satellite Radio
service.  Its not free ($10 a month last time I
heard), but its certainly available everywhere.

=====
And I always thought: the very simplest words
Must be enough. When I say what things are like
Everyone's heart must be torn to shreds.
That you'll go down if you don't stand up for yourself
Surely you see that.

  -- Bertolt Brecht
