That is when the fog of socialism parted permnently. Embarrassed by her wasted days of misspent college, and determined to share her wonder at how she could pay so much for a education that taught her so little, she embarked on a career that would help her share the pathway out of economic and political ignorance with others--and the Vicki McKenna Show was born. She's been called a Nazi (not true, she abors Hitler and supports Israel), Atilla the Hun (she confesses to liking this one) and a "self-loathing so-called woman" for daring to reject her college indoctrination, and think differently in the People's Republic of Madison and beyond. But she also knows how true the old cliche is: if they're shooting at you, you're over the target. She's won a bunch of media awards, spoke truth-to-power on all the cable news stations, except MSNBC--because of course not. She likes guns, dogs, birds, veterans and 80s pop culture--and she once got arrested at a U2 concert.
