Hello, I'm confused on your shows. I listen on KFI in LA. If I miss the show I download it on "their" site www.kfi640.com/pages/podcasting
How many other hours on what stations do you broadcast from? I enjoyed your interview of the 1009 AD era.
So Obama claims he can find, what? $350BN in savings to pay for health care? Why not $789 BN? Or $2 TR and .78? It's all phony, so why not aim for some reassuringly specific numbers and make it sound like they have run some numbers? Maybe they have: 2012.
I'm sure it's extra work for you, John, but please bring back the music and books sections of the website. I use them both as Christmas shopping lists for first rate gifts for my family!
Thanks for your dedication to the show
