The Toll Men

Dr. Laura Schlessinger is a popular radio host, author, and commentator who regularly talks about relevant issues on her blog.

Almost all issues are related to morality and similar concepts that stem from it.The most written about topics are usually related to children, family, parenting, sexuality, marriage, and the military. Each blog is written in a casual manner that allows for easy reading and understanding. The fact that the issues covered are socially relevant also adds to the interest factor. Most of the time, she cites certain examples especially when it comes to topics like social networking, sending children to day care, and being a stay-at-home mom. Schlessinger also makes sure that her discussions are timely and can be interesting for readers of any age. Examples of timely blogs and discussions include those about certain political personalities (Sarah Palin) and issues (the November elections), new advertisements (T-Mobile’s), television shows (The Closer), and celebrities (Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears).The Dr. Laura Blog is a good venue for Schlessinger’s followers because it allows them to freely comment on some of the issues raised by the radio host. It works pretty much like her radio program where listeners are free to call and speak their mind on the issue at hand. There are also references to some of her books like The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands (2004).Anyone who cares to get the moral side of every story will find Schlessinger’s blog truly worthy and interesting.
