MAY 2008

TUESDAY MAY 6, 2008 12:15 AM (CT) You've probably heard that Wesley Snipes got he maximum sentence for the misdemeanors for which he was found guilty. The government tried to get him on criminal charges, but the jury didn't buy. Normally someone without a record guilty of a misdemeanor will get probation. So why the harsh sentence? The government is starting to realize that Americans are awakening to the farce of the IRS. I'm not suggesting you don't pay. I am suggesting you get educated and start to fight this insanity within legal parameters available to you. If enough of us do, this sham will ultimately end. Tom Cryer joins me tonight to talk about that. He's the Louisiana lawyer who successfully fought criminal charges of willfully failing to file taxes. He's not suggesting you try that either. The key is enough Americans armed with the truth about the system that it will be impossible to seat a jury on these issues. Only then will we start to see change. Find out what you don't know tonight at 9 CT. And check out Tom's TruthAttack.org.

MONDAY CINCO DE MAYO 2:00 AM (CT) You know the economy is tanking. That's no surprise. Every day another piece of bad news is added to a growing avalanche. But wait-- there's good news. There's a sector of the economy that's growing by leaps and bounds. A sector that is hiring at the fastest pace in years. Can you guess what it is? You want a product category? None whatsoever. You want a service definition? None to speak of. We're talking a hiring frenzy that will add not one real dollar to the economy. Who is paying for these positions? You are. The government has hired an additional 77,000 workers in the first 3 months of this year. Meanwhile private industry has lost 286,000 jobs. What's wrong with this picture? Everything. Read about it here.

Here for trivia answers? So are Friday's players.. I forgot to reveal the answers at the end of the show. Fortunately there were only two: In 1976, banks did this for the first time. Did what? Offered interest bearing checking accounts.

It's April 1958 and rumors of the end of this government program are unfounded. We'd be stuck with it for many years to come. What? The draft. (The army says the draft will be needed indefinitely. Currently (in 1958) 13,000 American men are drafted each year.)

And in the ever evolving way we play Friday night trivia, here's the current rules: We'll take 3 players simultaneously. The first player to get two right answers before two wrong ones will win. (And yes you can pick from a handful of categories of questions.) Players can pass on any one question without penalty, but it will then go to the other 2 players, who will not be penalized for wrong answers but will be credited for right ones. (It's also possible to win by default by being the last player standing, but that shouldn't happen too often.) Every time someone wins, we'll start with a new panel of 3 players. If it sounds complicated, believe me you'll catch on quickly. I promise the questions will be a lot easier than you might expect. (Of course they're always easy when you know the answer.) You can also win instantly by answering a question I'll throw out each hour, or by identifying the bumper stumper currently in play. More on that this coming Friday.

FRIDAY MAY 2, 2008 4:00 AM (CT) Steve Bryant joins me tonight at 9 (CT). Check out his website: stevebryant.tv. You'll remember him from years and years son QVC but more recently he's known for his political parodies, the latest of which concerns the righteous Rev. Wright. It's always a lot of fun talking with him, and will follow that with a couple hours of trivia. Working on questions as I type.

THURSDAY MAY 1, 2008 9:00 PM (CT) We'll be talking in minutes, and as you can guess one of the things we'll be talking about is the "suicide" of the DC Madam. A flurry of emails asking if I believe it. Here's the deal. I do not believe under any extenuating circumstance that this woman would take her life without naming names. Big time. If it turns out that someone (or several someones) get something in the mail with instructions to out a lot of names we'll easily recognize, then maybe. If it turns out that the names of her clients are not soon publicized, then you can take it to the bank that this was murder. But even in that event, she would have been wise to have a posthumous plan in place. Does someone already have the info, and will they risk what may happen to tell us? God I hope so.

We'll also tell you what's going on in Canada in the latest government grab of supplements. You need to know about C-51, even if you never plan to visit the northland. If it happens out of Ottawa, how long before it happens in DC? At stake is your right to access to ALL supplements, the banning of many of them, and criminal charges should you give any to your kids. Doubt it? Click here. And here. And should you be in Calgary May 9th, please show up at the rally you'll read about. Thanks!

APRIL 2008

WEDNESDAY APRIL 30, 2008 3:31 AM (CT) It was great talking with Alex Jones last night. The show will replay on the stream until tonight's live one-- after that you can hear it as a download at www.mystreamingserver.com. We touched on the economy, and we agree--- you haven't seen nothing yet. We'll talk about what we are seeing though-- from an increase in credit card spending on basic necessities(making MasterCard rich and the rest of us poor) to a trend of people selling their belongings to pay basic bills. That's here. The government admits its a recession but is still denying there's much inflation. Ever wonder why? Read this. Bottom line, is they've found another way to screw the taxpayer-- in this case out of what they promised to hand out in social security payments, among many other things. Sinister details tonight at 9 (CT).

TUESDAY APRIL 29, 2008 8:51 PM (CT) Alex Jones in minutes! 3 big hours-- if you haven't seen Endgame yet, you're behind the curve. We'll talk about it, but there's nothing like seeing it first hand. Think Hitler was the first at eugenics? Wait until you hear about how he learned it from the US. Find out what we did, and more importantly what we're going to do. Any conspiracy theory you've ever heard, is something of which Alex is knowledgeable. If you don't listen to his daily show, you should. But check him out with me 9 to Midnight (CT). And check out his websites infowars.com prisonplanet.com, prisonplanet.tv and several others you'll hear about in the next three hours.

MONDAY APRIL 28, 2008 9:00 PM (CT) If you knew of a situation where a group of children were sick, dying, being raped, poisoned, drugged and abused not to mention numerous underage pregnancies you'd have to act, right? I'm not talking FLDS here. This is the state foster care system in Texas that the 400+ FLDS kids were forced into by authorities. Read this and tell me if you don't think they just went from bad to a lot worse. Talk to you in minutes!

SUNDAY APRIL 27, 2008 2:00 AM (CT) Here are the answers to Friday's trivia: In 1976, a former prime minister of Italy faced accusations, a former prime minister of Japan was arrested and Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands had to resign from some posts, all over the same issue. What issue? Taking bribes from Lockheed for airplane orders-- over $25 million worth.

This was one of the hottest consumer items of 1972. What? pocket calculators.

In 1972, critics blamed fashion designers for this. They used the Democratic National Convention in Miami Beach as an example of the problem. Blaming them for what? Failing to provide direction! (Women showed up to the convention in everything-- floor length dresses, tailored short separates, blue jeans. It was the year of wide choices.)

More people in Hawaii do this than any other state, over 60%. Do what? Hawaii has the highest percentage of cremations of all other US states with a a 60.6% preference over burial.

In 1972, the FTC issued its first action from its year old advertising documentation program requiring advertisers to document claims. GM was the first company targeted over 2 false claims. Name one: GM falsely claimed the Vega is the best handling passenger car ever built. Gm also claimed that the Buick Opel has a chassis that never requires lubrication.

Until the mid 1900s, we did not know the reason for this daily phenomenon. What? Why the sun shines. (As recently as half a century ago, there was no clear understanding of it. The discovery that it is due to nuclear fusion reactions was not made until the 1930s by Hans Beth and Carl von Weizsacker.

Wondering about the bumper stumpers? Click on "Who Did That Record" to your left.

THURSDAY APRIL 24, 2008 2:00 AM (CT) Apologies for the phone system (our fault-- long story), but other than that it was good to talk with Dennis Flaherty. His website is under yesterday's post but you might also want to check out an upcoming astrological convention. Click here for info on UAC2008.

Tonight among other things we'll talk about the absolute absurdity of our War on Drugs. Who better to speak out than law enforcement officials who know what a cruel joke it is, let alone why it's completely ineffective and unnecessary. If If you want a way to control the populous, circumvent the constitution and make a ton of money on the back of the public, you've found it with in the drug war. LEAP founder Peter Christ joins me tonight at 9 CT. Here's info on him. And here's the LEAP homepage. The real question is how long is the public going to continue to buy into this destructive insanity? Until Americans wake up, they'll continue to part with their rights and assets.

WEDNESDAY APRIL 23, 2008 4:45 AM (CT) Bush is trying to sell us on more involvement with Mexico. The fourth annual Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) meeting is going over like a lead balloon for many Americans. So does he decide to rethink his plans? No.. the SPP decides to rename itself. But you won't like it any better as the North American Leaders Summit (read about it here). Figures they'd rename it, since a few weeks ago we discussed their renaming of the NAU. Yes we're catching on to that one too. It's to be called the North American Standards and Regulatory Area, and you won't like it either. (Here's that one.) So what is Bush saying at the SPP which is no longer the SPP? Read about that here.

Meanwhile bad enough the Hildebeast won Philadelphia, but now the rumor is that neither she nor Obama will get the nomination in favor of a final pick of Al Gore. (Read about how it can happen here.) I'm hoping it's a rumor designed to make us feel lucky about anyone but Gore. It's enough to make you consult an astrologer.. which is exactly what we'll do tonight. Who will win the election? Will there be elections? What about the economy? The environment? The NAU? Can't promise answers, but vedic astrologer Dennis Flaherty has a grasp on the strong possibilities and I'm looking forward to hearing that! We'll talk to him at 9 CT. Check out his site here. Meanwhile if you missed the interview with Joe Buchman Monday night and want to hear it, it's here.

TUESDAY APRIL 22, 2008 5:00 AM (CT) We're celebrating Earth Day... by debunking Al Gore. One of the few hopeful trends lately has been a plethora of authors coming up with the real story behind Global Warming which has little to do with climate and everything to do with control-- and money. Your money, in the form of taxes to correct a bogus problem. Tonight we'll talk to Paul Spite. He's written "A Climate Crisis A La Gore" (click on it for a good price on a good read. We'll also talk about the Pennsylvania primary. Fitting for earth day-- from one potential disaster to the next starting tonight at 9 CT.

MONDAY APRIL 21, 2008 2:00 AM (CT) Global warming? Still snowing in the Canadian rockies. At least it's no longer sticking to the roads.. While I was watching snow this weekend, my buddy Dr. Joe Buchman was checking out a UFO convention. He'll join me tonight to tell you about it. According to Joe, it's not whether aliens are here (other than the Mexican kind, of course) but how many different types. He's got a website apologizing to them all.

Check out www.ThePeopleOfEarthApologize.com (click on it) for more on that. But in the meantime, he's not giving up events closer to home. In fact he's running for Congress. Now combining UFOs and Congress you'd pretty much think he's running as a Libertarian and you'd be right. Check out BuchmanForCongress.com (click on it too). On top of all that, he lives in Utah, so he's got a interesting perspective on the FLDS goings on. Like the rest of us who are actually alert, the real question is... when the government rounds up 416 kids, where's the outrage? All that and more tonight at 9 CT..

SATURDAY APRIL 19, 2008 2:00 AM (CT) April 19th.. The anniversary of Waco.. looking at the FLDS mess, we apparently haven't learned much, have we? I'll be back on that, Monday night.. but for now, here's what you may have missed on trivia:

In 1972, this was seen by some as the major innovation in radio. Stations in Baltimore, Houston and New Orleans wee among the first to offer it. Offer what? Broadcasting in Quadrophonic, four channel sound.

Musically 1972 was the year of blank. Fill in the blank. Nostalgia (Bobby Darin made a comeback, Madison Square Garden had a big oldies show. Chuck Berry had his first hit in years, even Broadway musicals evoked memories from earlier decades.)

1971 started a new movie trend. In 1972, there were over 20 such pictures. Most were traditional Hollywood fare, though often considered B movies. Some were seen as objectionable by traditional movie patrons and even critics. One, a big box office draw, drew some of the biggest criticisms. What's the movie trend? Movies starring, written by, directed by and marketed to a black audience. (The movie that sparked the greatest wrath of critics was "Superfly" though the complaint was not about race. The outrage was the sympathetic treatment of a cocaine dealer.)

In 1972, the FTC issued its first action from its year old advertising documentation program which required advertisers to document claims. What company did they first target? General Motors.

The practice of naming hurricanes began early this century when an Australian weather forecaster decided to insult who? Politicians he didn't like.

In the latter 1800's an American department store was the first ever to do this. Do what? Install electric lighting. (In 1878, Wanamaker's of PHiladelphia was the first.)

FRIDAY APRIL 18, 2008 9:00 PM (CT) Friday night trivia in moments-- and back here afterwards with the answers.

THURSDAY APRIL 17, 2008 9:00 PM (CT) This is only a test. And when it becomes a real emergency, we'll realize American citizens failed-- big time. Talking about the FLDS raid in Texas-- and how willing most people are to go along with the government yanking 416 kids out of mother's arms and putting them in a shelter-- all on the flimsiest of accusations.

The alleged 16 year old mother who called in to complain is a suspicious as it gets. She's not been found, the man she named as father of her child doesn't know anything about her. She made phone calls to a shelter miles away. And talked in one case for about an hour. If she was really so controlled, how was she aware of this shelter? How was she able to make hour long phone calls complaining about it? At the very least you'd expect the government would continue to verify her accusations before acting on them. It doesn't even pass the "It's For The Children!" battle cry. There's no proof any were in imminent danger. The ranch they call home is as clean and orderly as it gets.

Does anyone who knows anything about foster care have any reason to believe their safety will be guaranteed if they're farmed out into the system? Is anyone concerned that the government is taking the DNA of all of these children and their parents-- allegedly to match them up, but have you heard anything about destroying that DNA once the investigation is completed? I could go on. I wouldn't personally want to live that lifestyle. Polygamy and strict adherence to a restrictive religious doctrine doesn't sound like a good time to me. But I am absolutely horrified-- and worried-- that the majority of Americans seem to think the government rounding up 416 kids is fine by them. Why is anyone sleeping comfortably thinking their family won't be next? This is a test. And Americans have failed. Yes I can go on, and I will tonight at 9 CT.

WEDNESDAY APRIL 16, 2008 12:45 AM (CT) When all else fails rename it. That's the Orwellian doctrine that works every time. And never has it worked better when calling a major loss of sovereignty nothing more than a 'trade agreement'. It's tried and true and we fall for it every time, so it should come as no surprise that with all the citizen outrage now that plans for the coming North American Union united the US, Canada and Mexico, the latest plan is to call it a trade agreement-- NASRA to be exact: The North American Standards and Regulatory Area. No one will complain about that, right? They will if I have something to say about it. Jerry Corsi will tell you all about it here. Talk to you tonight at 9 CT.

TUESDAY APRIL 15, 2008 3:45 AM (CT) I'd love to say... So here we are April 15th, a national holiday commemorating all the loss and heartache from the former income tax laws... but alas, the pain and heartache will be standing in line today at the post office putting those 1040s in the mail. We'll talk about that and more tonight at 9 CT.

MONDAY APRIL 14, 2008 4:02 AM (CT) The Republicans are coming to St. Paul in September. Big convention, Perhaps you've heard about it. Probably unnecessary since McCain will be the nominee but nothing can stop a good party. Think I'm painting it a bit cavalierly? Then take a look at the city council fight-- over granting attendees their wish-- keeping the bars open til 4 a.m. Maybe they're planning an intoxication defense for the aforementioned nomination. It's story #4 here.

Seems all government employees like to have a good time. Read about the $13,500 steak dinner here. Any good political news you ask? Well Carter and Gore might lean on Hillary to give it up. Not that she'll listen, but all the superdelegates might. That's here. Lots more and I'll tell you about it tonight at 9 CT.

SATURDAY APRIL 12, 2008 2:00 AM (CT) Missed any of trivia? Here's the answers from last night's questions:

In 1910, the first woman in the world to do this was a Frenchwoman. Do what? Become the first certified woman pilot. (It was Madame la Baronne de Laroche who was certified as an aviatrix on March 3, 1910.)

In 1974, in one West Virginia county there were fire-bombings, beatings, shootings and dynamiting over this issue. What issue? Books included in the school curriculum the community found objectionable. (Their inclusion was mandated by the superintendent of schools who followed a strict edict the state courts handed down that books must be multi-ethnic. Among the books criticized was 'Jack and the Beanstalk'.)

These trees were first cultivated in China, then they made their way to India, Armenia and Persia. Before the 13th century, they arrived in England via Italy. What trees? Apricot.

This common edible was sold in the United States as a patent medicine in the early 19th century as a Doctors Compound Extract. What is it? Ketchup! (Dr Miles' Compound Extract of Tomato)

What do Stephen J. Cannell, Robert Conrad, k.d. lang, Gregory Peck, Sidney Poitier, Desi Arnaz and Elvis Presley have in common? They were all truck drivers before they became famous.

In San Salvador, this crime is punishable by death before a firing squad. That probably includes a lot of things but this one would raise eyebrows in America. What crime? Drunk driving.

Until the 1972, this was a very unusual girl's name. It's said William Shakespeare made it up. What name? Jessica. (Shakespeare called Shylock's lovely daughter JEssica in the Merchant of Venice,e but it was not until the 1970s that large numbers of people began choosing this name for their daughters.)

1972 American compact cars did battle with the foreign makers, notably VW, Toyota and Datsun. What three models were targeting their foreign counterparts? Chevy Vega, Ford Pinto, and AMC Gremlin. I'll be back to type more before Monday's show. Have a good weekend!

FRIDAY APRIL 11, 2008 12:45 AM (CT) Trivia tonight. Three hours starting at 9 CT. Talk to you then.

THURSDAY APRIL 10, 2008 12:30 AM (CT) You've heard about all those planes (over 1,000) grounded because they weren't inspected in a timely manner? Did you know that several of them have been failing the subsequent checks? Read it here. Deductive logic will tell you the major carriers have been flying planes that are not airworthy. And you wonder why I drive? Even to Alaska.

Here's a story about a realtor in Memphis which will no longer sell homes to illegals. This of course raises the rhetorical question 'Why was it legal to do that anyway?' Rhetorical, because it's not illegal or even frowned upon. The change of heart comes from a change of loan conditions. Banks are no longer ready to lend to folks without social security numbers. And you'd of course ask 'You mean they were doing that before? Then why do I need to be inspected with in an inch of my life to give them my money when I open an account?' And those too would be good questions in a sane world.

But in America, it's been no problem until now. Not a move toward patriotism, rather economic reality-- the illegals are less likely to pay back the loan. (It can be argued if they'd enter the country illegally, why would they feel compelled to keep an economic bargain here, but the real issue above that is keeping a steady job can be tough when you're not supposed to have one.) So what is this realtor doing? This is the best part-- they'll concentrate on people legally here... with bad credit. Easier to get them loans than illegals these days. It does beg the question, why not go after responsible, credit worthy buyers, but I'll let you ask it tonight at 9 CT. Talk to you then.

WEDNESDAY APRIL 9, 2008 9:00 PM (CT) We'll talk to Charles Lewis in a few minutes. In the meantime you should check out SaveAmericaSummit (click on it). When the lesser of two (or three) evils is still evil, as it is in this election, you start to wonder what's going on. You're about to find out.

WEDNESDAY APRIL 9, 2008 12:45 AM (CT) Greenspan tells you what you already knew-- the country is in a recession, but you already knew that. Here it is complete with him not being sorry for anything he might have done. The Fed is hinting it might be a deep recession. No big surprise to you here. And the IMF is calculating it could be a trillion dollar crisis. That's here. And how long have I been telling you that our phony debt-fueled economy would collapse? The longer it takes, the worse it will be. We'll talk about that, and all the things we didn't get to last night.

Sometimes corporate America is as bad as government bureaucrats. Apparently guards at Target can not confront shoplifters. This leads to the question, 'What can they do?' Can't answer that but I can tell you about a retired cop who had the 'nerve' to stop a teen from stealing hard liquor and was fired for his trouble. That insanity is here. Finally from the 'Assault with a Weapon' file, here's a story where the weapon was a hedgehog. Since the don't know if the animal died in the process or was previously deceased, the villain won't be hit with animal cruelty. Talk to you at 9 CT.

TUESDAY APRIL 8, 2008 12:30 PM (CT) We were in the middle of talking about the USB drive chock full of DMV records in Oregon that wound up in a recycling center, unencrypted and easy to read. We'll pick up with that story, but note, this is not an inadvertent loss-- read here about a loony law, now gone, but still reverberating with problems. Read about it here.

We'll also go over the Pig Book. Yes, CAGW releases it's annual awards for the most wasteful pork barrel spending. Here's a summary of this year's winners. Here are the representatives who won the anything-but-coveted Oinkers. Many fine categories such as the French Kiss Off, Tax Dollars on Drugs and the Unidentified Fiscal Object. Finally if you want to know how it goes by state, click here. That'll keep you busy for a while. Talk to you tonight at 11 CT (I settled on CT as it's easier than writing ET & PT and probably easiest for you to translate too.)

MONDAY APRIL 7, 2008 7:00PM (PT) Before we get to all the dirt described below (and a lot more), I'm going to spend some time talking to Jock Brocas, a British military man who has learned the benefit of relying on inner knowledge for real protection. His book is "Powers Of the Sixth Sense" and it's available here.

MONDAY APRIL 7, 2008 3:31 AM (PT) Think Hillary's lies are a recent development? Of course you don't. But if you're looking for proof going back as far as her days on the Watergate committee in the '70s, have I got a story for you. You can read about it here, but we'll talk about it tonight.

And the lies just keep on coming! Punctuating her desire to give you government health care whether you want it or not, is a story about a young mother who died because she was uninsured and turned away at the hospital. Her family is outraged. She had full insurance and they're upset she's being portrayed as an indigent. Here's that one.

Meanwhile in Oregon, she's misrepresenting her record on Iraq laughably. That's here. Of course, it doesn't help that her income tax returns show she's made well over $100 million since her white house days-- so much for relating to the po' folks. Read that one here.

And then there's that issue with her chief strategist who has had to resign now that it turns out while he was talkin' up the Hildebeast who among her campaign themes is her promise to reign in trade programs like NAFTA, he was also lobbying congress on behalf of the Colombian government which wants in on an expansion of such deals. That's all over the web, won't even bother with links.

Meanwhile Ron Paul supporters shook 'em up in Minnesota this past weekend. Turns out members of the nominating committees in the various districts were not allowed to nominate anyone but McCain. Here's some info on what happened when a few didn't go along with that. All that and other things tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT.

But wait, there's more. Hopefully it will make you laugh. If not, you're gonna cry. Listener Steve called it to my attention. I don't give you video links often, as I rarely have time to view them myself, but this one is worth it-- funny-- or disturbing? You be the judge. Here it is.

And finally, for those of you asking me to put the Landline article up, here it is. But if you're a commercial driver, you should have your own copy because you're a member of OOIDA.. right? Wrong? Then click on the OOIDA link to your left and join. Mention my name and your first year dues are just $25.

SATURDAY APRIL 5, 2008 1:05 AM (PT) You slaughtered me last night on trivia. Lots of prizes to mail out this weekend. But you probably want to know the answers, so here you go:

In 1996, a US panel designated this well known street as a scenic byway. What street? The Las Vegas Strip. (The committee felt the glitzy neon lights, erupting volcano, sinking pirate ship, pyramid, castle and other casino attractions are... culturally enriching. This explains a lot, doesn't it?)

In 1974, the number of these fell to their lowest level since the 1800s. What? The number of Member firms of the NYSE.

This occurred in American for the first time in 1874. What? The first kidnapping for ransom in US history. (Charlie Ross was lured into a wagon and carried away by men who demanded $20,000 for his return. The result was unprecedented international news coverage. It was not a happy ending.)

Henry Ford was obsessed with this. He once wore a suit and tie made from it and ordered auto parts made from it. What? Soybeans. (The clothes were made from soy-based material. He ordered many Ford parts to be made from soy-derived plastic. He once served a 16-course meal made entirely from soybeans.)

A large ice cream company gives their ice cream waste to local farmers who use it to feed hogs. The hogs seem to like all the flavors except one. Which one? Mint Oreo. (Ben & Jerry's donates to Vermont farmers who report hogs will eat most anything-- except Mint Oreo.)

We talked about the Charlie Gracie documentary too-- and if you want a copy, you can now easily download it for a couple bucks from the Amazon Unbox Download Program. Click here. It's recordable on Tivo. If you'd rather have a hard copy mailed to you for not much more, click here.

If you're from Chicago, you probably know Eddie Schwartz. Even if you aren't from Chicago but enjoyed listening to WGN years ago, you should recall him. Eddie, a life long Chi-town fixture knows everyone and everything about the Windy City. In 1970 he was Robert W. Morgan's producer on WIND and went on to a great career since then. After WGN he was on WLUP before turning to writing for the last decade or so. He's a great guy and if he's given you joy on the air in the past, it's time to give some back to him. He's currently in a rehab facility and would love to hear from you. Read about it here. And remember, I'm too often writing about the passing of someone and lamenting it's too late to let them know we care. In this case, it's the perfect time to drop a line to "Chicago Schwartz!" letting him know you remember and care. Thanks! Talk to you Monday.

FRIDAY APRIL 4, 2008 12:01 AM (PT) Trivia tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT.

THURSDAY APRIL 3, 2008 1:10 AM (PT) Ted Turner predicts mass cannibalism by 2040-- and he's not just referring to his own heirs. Want a laugh? Read this. Then again, he's serious as a heart attack and people will believe his clap trap about global warming. Even worse, here I am delighted about the Hildebeast looking good in Pennsylvania and Obama tells a town hall meeting in Wallingford that if he's elected he guarantees Al Gore will have a big role. Let's hope there's no a cabinet position for wacky weatherman. Jokes aside, Gore whose theories are more and more failing the tests of serious scientists got a nobel prize and a grammy for his claptrap. Here's the Obama article. Not sure Gore's garbage is claptrap? Read Lawrence Solomon's "The Deniers" for openers. It's here. We'll try to have him on soon. Finally, want info about the MATS show and all things trucking? Check out screamintrucker.com.

WEDNESDAY APRIL 2, 2008 3:00 PM (PT) How to increase traffic accidents and city revenue in one easy step-- install a red light camera. Guaranteed to cause both. Jim Baxter from the National Motorists Association joins me at 10 ET / 7 PT to give you all the stats. In the meantime, check out NMA's website here. Lots of good info.

We'll also discuss a Pennsylvania poll that shows Obama winning and the tide further turning against the Hildebeast. (That's here.) And along those lines, Bill Clinton loses it again. Read it here and wonder-- is he really losing his grip or is it a passive aggressive plan to defeat his wife? If so, congratulations to Bill -- it's working!

And then there's Bob Barr-- looks like he'll declare himself a candidate for president under the Libertarian banner. That's great news from the standpoint of someone who is a credible politician but quite perplexing considering he's been one of America's foremost supporters of the War on Drugs. Of course he says he's changed, but given his vociferous support in the past, can you believe him. Here's what he told Reason magazine about that. And while we're at it, here's many articles on Bob in Reason. That'll keep you busy for the next four hours. Talk to you then!

TUESDAY APRIL 1, 2008 7:00 PM (PT) Talking to you in minutes, but before I do, I thought you might want to read a terrific article on Jack Armstrong. It's here. Sure wish he was.

So the question is, strike or no strike? Actually that's a complete misnomer. When independent business people stop working and shut down, it's not a strike, but it is a real indicator that something is very wrong. In this case, it's rising fuel costs for commercial drivers who are owner operators. As to the shut down, we'll hear from you about its effectiveness.

Think truckers' issues don't affect the rest of us? Then consider that everything you own, everything material in your life, came on a truck. If this ultimately results in an insurmountable problem for drivers, do you really want to think of life with the government taking over transportation? Or as bad, do you want to think of sharing the roads with drivers from third world countries behind the wheels of big rigs? That's terror to me.

We'll also give you some truly terrible but perhaps not surprising statistics. Overall 1 out of 2 public school kids graduates. In the larger districts, it's much worse. Detroit? 3 out of 4 drop out. If that's not an indictment against public schools, I'm not sure what will do it for you. Read about it here.

MARCH 2008

MONDAY MARCH 31, 2008 3:00 PM (PT) I forgot to mention what I thought to be the jaw dropping news over the weekend-- Henry Paulson announcing plans for the treasury deparment to take over everything financial. OK, that's a stretch but not as much of a stretch as I'm comfortable hearing. Read about it here. And here.

MONDAY MARCH 31, 2008 12:45 AM (PT) Promoting NAFTA at a trucking show? Sounds like an oxymoron to me, but here's the story. You might also want to check out how China's invovled in American trucking here. And if you're not sure if you're a republican or a democrat (or like me aren't sure if there's a difference), Johnnie B. Garmon has written 'You're Not A Democrat You Just Think You Are." Get a copy here. He'll share some his quizzes so you can check for sure tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT.

FRIDAY MARCH 28, 2008 11:59 PM (PT) You're probably here for trivia answers and I've got 'em!

What company has used more old rock tunes in their TV campaigns than any other advertiser in America? Burger King wins that dubious award. (But they're not alone. Hit tunes from top 40s heyday are being overused all over the place. Bet you can name several.)

In 1974, there was both deepening business decline and galloping inflation. The term created for this twin economic threat was what? Slumpification (and thankfully it didn't last long. Sylvia Porter and other financial journalists liked it back then).

Bumper Stumpers? They're all here.

Sorry for being absent a few days-- still getting over Jack Armstrong's sudden passing. A memorial for him in North Carolina was held today. Maggie, his youngest, read the eulogy I sent. Wish I could have been there. Wish Jack could have been there. But then again on some level, I bet he was. Plenty going on politically and we'll have a lot to talk about next week. I'll report in right here before Monday's show. Have a good weekend.

TUESDAY MARCH 25, 2008 3:45 AM (PT) I hope you caught last night's show with GOA's Larry Pratt. While there's reason for hope on the Supreme Court decision regarding the DC gun ban, it's alarming to find that the lawyer fighting to uphold the 2nd Amendment might as well have been on the other side for some of his arguments. The hour we spent with Larry is here. Check it out. Plenty to talk about tonight-- including the Two Stooges-- Hillary and Obama. Can't script it better than this-- more racist preachers unearthed.. Hillary's explanation that she 'misspoke' when caught in blatant exaggeration (or as some contend, complete fabrication). Let's look at something real: Jack Armstrong's legendary career. The post below will give you some background and links to audio clips but here he is the night he introduced the Fab Four. (He's the one in the middle who isn't a Beatle.)

I would have shown you the photo that refutes Hillary's 'sniper fire' account, but Jack was much more fun. However if you want to see it anyway, click here. There's a fine story to go with it too.

When someone close to you dies, it starts you to thinkin' 'bout life. And in Jack's case the last few years were empty for him at best which is truly tragic considering the outpouring of respect he's getting all over the internet since the news of his passing. But since '03, he's been sensibly conserving his resources as much as possible, including idling his true passion, his airplane, due to the cost factor. How he loved to fly. But what if he knew it would all be over in a short period of time? What would he have done differently? If you knew you only had 2 years to live, assuming you weren't debilitated by disease, what would you change? Worth considering and we will tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT. To quote one of the individuals in the above picture, "Life is what you do while you're making other plans." What do you regret more-- things you've done, or things you didn't get around to doing?

SUNDAY MARCH 23, 2008 7:00 PM (PT) Very sorry to have to tell you that Big Jack Armstrong has passed away. His youngest daughter Maggie called me this afternoon with the news and I'm heartsick. He died at home in Greensboro on Saturday. At this point I have no other details as to what precipitated a fall down the stairs in his townhome.

Jack had the kind of energy that if harnessed could easily have kept a power grid online. When he was entered in the Guinness Book of Records as the "worlds fastest talking human" while he was on WKBW, nobody challenged the notion. Jack's ability to work the mic and use his voice as a tool was second to none. After working for Jack Gale at WAYS in Charlotte, he developed his now infamous "Gorilla" and his ability to slip in and out of character while prattling on at a motormouth pace was stunning.

His signature 'Jack Armstrong, Your LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE - DER' was the subject of legends. Could he really hold the word "Leader" through the entire record? (No but it sounded like it sometimes.) His career was made of alternately being in the right place at the best time, and the wrong place at he worst time.

Like most jocks, he started as a kid-- at 14 was hired to be on the air at WCHL in his hometown of Chapel Hill . Before graduating high school he'd work at Durham's top 40 outlet, WSSB where "Charlie Brown (Eddie Weiss, well known Beach Music personality, program director (WKIX) and morning man) befriended him. His summers at the family cottage in Edenton included being hired at WCDJ there.

After high school graduation, he picked up his first class FCC license (at the Elkins radio quickie course in Atlanta, where he worked for a month or so at WSMA/WDJK in nearby Smyrna) knowing that the FCC regulations back then would give him a leg up on the competition as directional AM stations required operators be so licensed. Sure enough that opened the door for him at Greensboro's WCOG, much to the dismay of his parents who had sent him off to college at Guilford. (He enrolled in pre-med as expected, considering his father was a world famous parasitologist then in residence at UNC.)

As radio quickly and forever won his heart, he had to break it to his folks that he was dropping out before even getting started. His dad admonished him 'There are only 2 ways to succeed son-- education or talent. You better hope to hell you've got talent.' How much of it he had at that point was questionable but wouldn't be for long. He quickly moved to WAYS in Charlotte toward the end of 1964, soaking in Jack Gale's secrets and all the while scanning the night time dial for distant stations for which he dreamed of one day working. WKYC, WLS, WKBW, WBZ, WABC all helped mold the jock he'd soon become.

In '66, he went from WAYS to WIXY in Cleveland which led to WKYC a year later where he really made his mark. Between jocking on the AM station and hosting WKYC-TV's "Big Jack Show", anywhere something was happening in Cleveland, Jack was there-- including introducing the Beatles and learning a lesson in crowd control in the process, as well as picking up several life lessons from roommate Chuck Riley (at the time WKYC's Chuck Dann).

From there it was off to WMEX in Boston,and CHUM in Toronto in 1968, WPOP in Hartford in '69, KTLK in Denver a year later and finally WKBW where his career took on legendary proportions from 1970 to '73. To this day, numerous would be radio folks up and down the eastern seaboard back then cite Jack's work on 'KB as exemplary of the pinnacle they hoped to achieve. Moving on to Pittsburgh's 13Q in '73 and then Don Burden's WIFE in Indianapolis in 1975, Jack made it to LA on 10Q in 1978.

When Storer sold the station in 1980, Jack segued to KFI before leaving the Southland in 1982 to return to North Carolina for a few months to help his folks remodel their home. That also gave him time to help his wife through a pregnancy with their third daughter, Maggie. (Maggie was born in her mother's home town, Buffalo. Jack is also father to Vanessa, born in Pittsburgh and Devon born in Indianapolis.) Jack returned to California by 1983, first to San Francisco's KFRC before returning to Los Angeles in '84 at CBS' KKHR.

From there it was Fresno (KBOS) in '87 and a final move home to North Carolina in '91 where he cared for his dad until his passing in '96. In '97, he took a job at Oldies 93, WMQX marking a full circle return to Greensboro and his longest tenure on any station-- 6 years doing morning drive. In 2003, he left the station but continued another encore replay-- tracking the night show on WKBW, maintaining the same level of energy he exhibited there over three decades earlier. A format change to progressive talk forever stilled his voice in 2006.

Like many radio greats, Jack was dismayed with the current state of radio, yet fully believing a place for him in it still existed. Sadly, time ran out before that was able to happen. I thought you might enjoy a few audio things. Click here for the interview I did with him on the show in 2005. Some great stories! Click here for the first show he did on WPOP in '69, and here for the last show he did on WPOP in 1970. Marvel at the energy. Radio is frenetic for anyone, and Jack lived at a frenzied pace. My prayer is he's now enjoying the peace that so eluded him here. What a good guy. And what a great loss to those of us lucky enough to be his friend. I'll have some pictures and links up soon.

FRIDAY MARCH 21, 2008 11:45 PM (PT) Trivia answers from tonight's show:

This well known item, in most every home was first seen in New Haven, Connecticut in the latter 1800s. What? Telephone books. (The first telephone book ever issued contained only 50 names. It was published in New Haven by the New Haven District Telephone Company in February, 1878.)

In 1985 it was announced that this was the #1 public health problem in America. What? Injuries. (The National Research Council announce the results of its study in May 1985, that injuries caused the loss of more working years than heart disease and cancer combined. Injuries cost the economy $75 to $100 billion annually. They suggested mandatory laws to change human behavior, like seat belts, be stepped up. Lovely.)

In 1987, this was seen by the manufacturer as a breakthrough advancement, but to the parents of the kids targeted as consumers, it encouraged violence in children. What is it? Mattel's Captain Power toys (to be used interactively with the Captain Power and the Soldiers Of The Future Television show).

In 1987, overall fewer Americans were doing this. Almost 6% less in Indianapolis, 5 1/2% less in Detroit, Over 4% less in Minneapolis, over 3% less in Baltimore. But Americans were doing it more by over 2% in Houston, Boston and Philadelphia. Doing what? Using mass transit.

Have a wonderful Easter weekend. I'll be back before Monday to tell you what's on tap for next week.

FRIDAY MARCH 21, 2008 2:30 AM (PT) Three big hours of trivia tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT. In the meantime if you missed John Coleman and want to hear the hour we did with him, it's up at mystreamingserver.com. Check it out.

THURSDAY MARCH 20, 2008 12:45 AM (PT) If you're like me, you've been waiting for someone to truly reveal Al Gore for the idiot he is. And that's being kind. If he's not a dullard, then he's an absolute louse and fraud. Not only the perpetrator of a scientific fraud, but more tellingly the perpetrator of a financial fraud. The problem, you see, is the global warming over which he whips us all into a frenzy is at best, bad science. And the concept he proffers,that all scientists agree this is a major threatening issue to the world, is as phony as his premise. So what be done about it when it seems like media is stacked against logic, science and truth? A lot, if you're John Coleman, a noted television meteorologist. For starters, you sue Gore-- and that's just what he's done. God love him. Find out about the suit, the truth and what it's like to be John Coleman-- the guy who founded the weather channel, which was quickly taken from him. Today it's being shopped for a billion bucks, but that's probably not as objectionable to John as turning it on and seeing Heidi Cullen and her environmental insanity. Join us tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT. Want to read about John? Here's some info on him. And here's some more links on global warming. This will be good.

WEDNESDAY MARCH 19, 2008 10:00 PM (PT) I just finished a great murder mystery. Del Staecker wrote it while listening to the show, which was enough to get me to read it, though I have to admit, I usually don't make it through fiction. I tend to read the first two chapters and then skip to the back to see how it turns out. And I wasn't expecting it to be much different with a first time author. But boy was I wrong. I read it from cover to cover, almost non stop over the past week. Granted, the fact that it was set in Nashville (one of the best places I ever lived, though my experience is over 3 decades old), hooked me quickly. But it wouldn't have lasted if it wasn't so good. If you're looking for a great read, or just want to support a new author (though his next two books are already in the works so I suspect we'll be seeing a lot from Del), click here for a great price from Amazon.

WEDNESDAY MARCH 19, 2008 1:45 AM (PT) Sovereignty? We don't need no stinkin' sovereignty-- at least that's how it appears from today's news. The Treasury Department is working on ways to be fine with middle east consortiums buying up our banks. Mexico announces that our highways are included in NAFTA, and a Mexican consulate employee in San Diego, after cursing at the Minutemen informed him that ours was his country and Mexico would be taking it back. Can't believe any of that? Well here's the Middle East Investment issue. Here's the NAFTA claims. And here's the despicable Mexican consulate employee. We'll also tell you a feel good story about a major telco and voice mail-- which if you really think about it will trouble you greatly. All that tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT.

TUESDAY MARCH 18, 2008 2:45 AM (PT) The US government is planning to poison more than two million unsuspecting people this summer. Think I'm kidding? Here's a link. Talk to you tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT.

MONDAY MARCH 17, 2008 2:10 AM (PT) Happy St. Patty's day to ya. The luck of the Irish has not been with Obama recently. I for one thing the 'outing' of his pastor and his preaching of a 'gospel' that mainstream America might find disturbing-- particularly when taken out of context-- is the work of the HIldebeast campaign. She slyly backs away from commenting as any good saboteur would do, but sadly, Obama is taking the bait. By denying knowledge of the pastor's rhetoric, he's setting himself up to be proven a liar. Given the actual comments, if he were Ron Paul he'd proudly say that a lot of it was true, but as it is, he condemns the entire line of thinking, and me thinks he'll be caught. Interesting that Huckabee's sermons were entirely off limits, whatever they might have been. But it's fair game now? Some links to ponder: here, here and here.

But if you want really something ponderous, get this: The drivers in the Mexican truck pilot exam are proving their proficiency in English by taking a test in Spanish. You probably think you didn't read that right, so you better read this. We'll talk tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT.

We'll also discuss Elliot Spitzer. While most everyone is enjoying his bout with instant karma, most are ignoring the way he got there. And it should put fear and terror into all of us. The fact that the government is analyzing millions of financial transactions and banks are required to tip them off to any unusual pattern of deposits or withdrawals, every one of us is under a cloud of suspicion. We like it when it's Spitzer, but next it could be you-- even if you're not paying for hookers at any price. Ron Paul made some great comments about it on the floor of the House last week, and you can read them here.

FRIDAY MARCH 14, 2008 TRIVIA ANSWERS:
In the 1940s, inspired by walking his dog and examining detritus on the animal's coat, this inventor developed what well known product? Velro. (It the early 1940s, George de Mestral, a Swiss inventor, went on a walk with his dog Upon returning home, he noticed that the dog's coat was covered with burrs. Further, his pants also picked them up. Studying the burrs under a microscope, he discovered their shape resembled a hook. That was the basis for his fastener which had one side of hooks resembling the burrs, and the other with soft loops resembling his pants.)

In 1985, the rosy forecasts for this industry had to be revised. In fact the number 3 company reported layoffs and heavy losses due to the cost of business and a lower than expected market share. What industry? Long Distance (GTE, the #3 company had the layoffs, turned out the economic forecast for deregulated Long Distance was too optimistic.)

An American town became the first ever to do this in 1955. Do what? Power itself entirely by nuclear energy. (Arco Idaho, became the first town powered that way. Their 1000 residents received the benefits of an experimental boiling water reactor called Borax III.)

In 1987, the number of big computer mainframe manufacturing companies dwindled to three. One was IBM. Name the other two: Burroughs Corporation and Control Data Corporation.

FRIDAY MARCH 14, 2008 2:40 AM (PT) Three big hours of trivia tonight. Talk to you at 10 ET / 7 PT.

THURSDAY MARCH 13, 2008 12:01 AM (PT) GOOD NEWS. I actually archived three interviews you want to hear. Jerry Corsi from tonight, Larry Nichols from Monday and Mary Ann Winkowski from February. They're all available as .mp3 downloads at www.mystreamingserver.com --check 'em out!

Also, due to massive requests (OK, more than 5) I'm listing the bumper tunes and when possible giving you links to where you can get them. Click here.

It was great talking with Jerry earlier (see entry below for a link to his must read book) and we'll keep you posted on the DOT deciding an established journalist couldn't attend their press conference, but in the process we didn't get around to the promised prison industry story . We will tonight. We'll also tell you a story about Canadian health care you need to hear. If you'd rather read it, click here. No wonder she's dead. More on Elliot Spitzer no doubt, as well as the primaries and what's in store before the Pennsylvania vote on April 22nd. And then there's the plan to spray toxins all over San Francisco. Don't believe it? That's here from Alex Jones' Infowars.com. All that and more tonight at 10 ET / 7PT.

WEDNESDAY MARCH 12, 2008 7:55 PM (PT) Just concluded talking with Dr. Jerome Corsi. If you haven't read his book, The Late Great USA, you must! Click on it for a good price at Amazon. Not only will you get great info, but you'll also get proof of every contention in it. It's the single best argument stopper for your friends who say 'I don't believe that!' when you're telling them about the coming North American Union and all that surrounds it.

WEDNESDAY MARCH 12, 2008 12:15 AM (PT) Attention American businesses. No need to outsource to India for call centers. No need to go to China for cheap labor. We've got it here. How does 17 cents an hour sound? No benefits to pay, no vacations, a guaranteed work force that will never be absent or late. Sound to good to be true. It isn't. Sound like slave labor? It is. But it's legal. So legal that an Oregon representative was luring Nike back from Indonesia with it. And it's historical! Goes right back to the end of the civil war.

So what is this not so well kept secret among industry but unknown by the general public? Prison labor. It explains why more Americans per capita are in prison than anywhere else in the world. America accounts for 5% of the earth's population and 25% of its prisoners. It also explains why prison privatization is so hot. Everyone makes money-- from Wall Street investors to local police department. The only loser is you. Or your brother, uncle, cousin, son, daughter or co worker. It's even more of a risk if you happen to be young and black. Or hispanic. But not always. One thing is constant-- it's an anathema to everything America is supposed to be. And correcting it starts with you. Never heard about it? Read this and we'll talk about it tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT.

TUESDAY MARCH 11, 2008 1:40 AM (PT) When Larry Nichols called last week asking to be on the show with us Monday night because he had some breaking news.. how did he know about Spitzer? According to Larry he wasn't sure who it would be, but his sources told him one "Superdelegate" likely not to go for Hillary would be neutralized Monday.. Pretty amazing. But rather than pondering how he knew, let's look at how stuck on stupid Sptizer has been.

Let me get this straight.. a guy who has based his entire political career on being the great savior, cleaning up corruption and having a a government of integrity and morality, to paraphrase his various platitudes... a guy who made his name as AG by bringing high profile cases against financial giants.. that guy manages to engage in structuring to the point that it has investigators on his tail and when they nail him they discover he's a hooker hound? Is this too good to be true? Only for television which laments it not breaking in February during sweeps month.

Structuring is a term for obfuscating financial transactions. Often it's used to skirt the reporting requirements when cash is withdrawn. (A $10,000 reporting to the government is mandatory. Below that, it is not. So taking out 2 payments of $5,000 in order to avoid reporting is considered structuring.) or for creating a series of financial transactions designed to make the purpose of the money invisible. It's the kind of thing that based on Spitzer's reputation would have you believe he'd love to prosecute-- not the kind of thing in which he personally would engage. Well, you'd be wrong. And herein lies the best part of the story. The feds were after him-- not the prostitutes. They'd been on his trail for a while and as they tried to unravel his suspicious money transfers, they figured he was concealing bribes. They didn't realize it was broads. They do now. And so do we.

What this implies, is that such behavior is not unusual for Mr. Spitzer. And here's the big question? If you're Elliot Spitzer, a high profile defender of all things righteous who has amassed his share of enemies along the way, what on earth would lead you to believe you won't be caught? How do you not see the strong possibility of disgrace? Even if you think you're so good that you won't be discovered by any legal entity, how can you conceive that your political enemies, or those you've sent on a long vacation to the big house, won't stumble on your dalliances? Never mind how you justify it. I can only speculate what he's not getting at home. But when your eye is on the prize, and the route is a visible trek along the high road, how is it remotely possible you see yourself not tumbling down? That's what I'd like to understand. Not only because it's tabloid fodder, but especially because it's insight into the mind of someone who lusts for power over the rest of us and often gets it. In a sentence.. . 'What was he thinking?!' We'll talk about it again tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT. Here's a link to get you up to speed.

We're also trying to get Dr. Jerome Corsi to join us tonight. As you may know, The DOT has decided that WND, the fourth most read US journalism site online, is not welcome at their press conferences-- at least not the one yesterday wherein Mary Peters detailed all the reasons why she's planning to go ahead with the Mexican truck program that congress has defunded. Read about that here. Then there's CAIR. You know, the Islamic group that goes out of its way to silence its critics? Guess what argument they're using in court against a lawsuit brought by a talk show host? Freedom of speech. How very ironic. Details on that too.

MONDAY MARCH 10, 2008 12:01 AM (PT) In case you forgot last night, time to move your clocks forward an hour. Daylight savings time is earlier than it used to be. Judging by this year, Easter is earlier than it used to be too-- coming up on March 23rd, but it'll be back to April next year as usual. Plenty of things on my mind, as usual including a wonderful trend of college students demanding to be armed (read that here and here) a couple of alarming reports out of the Albany Police Department (here and here).

And if that doesn't shake you up, here's an unrelated horror-- the thought of Hillary Clinton as president. Larry Nichols, who as been dogging the Clintons since before they were first co-presidents in 1992, is more often right than wrong. He told us about Gennifer Flowers long before anyone else did-- and back then, I can vividly recall him saying the real issue was not Bill but Hillary. Since they we've seen the ole gal first hand-- who can forget the thousands and thousands of FBI files on her desk, let alone all the anecdotal stories about what happens to her enemies. Larry called last week and said he had more to share with the class. I don't know what it is, and only time will tell if he's right. But I for one want to hear it. If you're in my camp, join me tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT when Larry will be telling all.

SATURDAY MARCH 8, 2008 12:30 AM (PT) Looking for trivia answers from tonight's show? Click here to see what songs we played as Bumper Stumpers.

In 1949, an American carrier became the first regularly scheduled airline in the US to do this. Do what? Serve alcoholic beverages in flight. (On October 17, 1949, Northwest Airlines served the first hard drinks.)

This was outlawed for 12 years, from 1954 to 1966 in Finland. What? Marlon Brando's movie, "The Wild One".

In 1985, analysts said blank described the greatest reason for growth in the computer industry and maintained it would be the greatest reason for growth over the next 15 years. Fill in the blank (it's one word): Scalability. (Systems could be expanded in stages from small to extremely large without requiring changes in memory subsystems, software or peripherals. Scalability is possible because of the development of microprocessors (chips) with the computing power once available from only big mainframes and of individual memory chips with the capacity of entire memory systems.)

This was smuggled into Japan by tourists from Hong Kong and mainland China recently as a way to lose weight. The JPA had outlawed it but had seized over 10,000 of it alone in June and July of '99. What is it? Soap. (A Chinese soap known as Seaweed Defat Scented Soap claimed you'd lose weight by washing with it.)

A recent Gallup poll shows that 69% of Americans believe they will eventually do this. What? Go somewhere after death (though not necessarily heaven or hell).

I just noticed I never put last week's answers up and of course now I can't remember the questions. Sorry about that. I'll be back before Monday to tell you what's on my mind, and I'll be live Monday night to talk about it.

FRIDAY MARCH 7, 2008 12:01 AM (PT) Three big hours of trivia tonight and I promise to mail all the prizes since January this weekend. Got Larry Nichols on with me Monday night but I'll tell you about that before then. In the meantime, start dialing for trivia now. OK, kidding, but you know the deal-- easiest to get in the earlier you call. We're live at 10 PM ET / 7 PT. Talk to you then!

THURSDAY MARCH 6, 2008 3:31 AM (PT) A California Appellate court has ruled that parents who homeschool their kids are liable for fines and imprisonment. You probably think I mean if they're not actually teaching them. You'd be wrong. Homeschool advocates call the decision 'breathtaking' because of it's broad scope. But the good news is the California Supreme Court has agreed to hear the issue. Amazingly the appellate court overturned a lower court ruling that said parents have a constitutional right to educate their children. No they don't. Not in California-- the same state that's considering legislation that would encourage the teaching of communism. I can't make 'em up any better than this. Supreme Court cases are a roll of the dice. But it's a bet homeschooling parents in California are being forced to make. Read about the case here, and read about the commie curriculum here.

WEDNESDAY MARCH 5, 2008 2:00 AM (PT) How would you feel if you bought some stock in a company only to find out that the CEO was ignoring profits in order to more fully support his choice of a political candidate? Unless you thought you were investing in the outcome of an election you'd probably be furious, or at least confused. It's going to be interesting tomorrow when the Disney stockholders have their annual meeting in Albuquerque, because that's the scenario investors face. Many of them are in a confrontational mood over CEO Robert Iger, who happens to be a big Hillary Clinton supporter. What's that mean to investors? Seems a highly rated ABC/Disney mini-series critical of madame Clinton and her ilk and the official version of 9-11 is not available on DVD. And seems if it was, there'd be a lot of interest, since over 28 million people saw it on TV. Normally such ratings would cause the DVD to be available in months. So where is it? Let me back up and mention that before the miniseries aired on television, powerful democratic operatives did everything they could to stop it. But they lost. This time it appears they won. And investors are the losers as the company foregoes an obvious profit stream. We'll talk about fiduciary responsibility tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT. Here's details on a YouTube video.

TUESDAY MARCH 4, 2008 12:15 AM (CT) If your a parent of a young child, you know how important it is not to leave your kid alone with certain adults. You've probably got a list in your mind of who might be a predator. Well, time to add another category of possible suspects-- your pediatrician. Some doctors have been questioning kids without their parents present. They want to know what mom and dad are doing. We're not talking any rational definition of suspected child abuse here, we're talking, 'Does your mommy use drugs?' 'Does your daddy own a gun?' 'How do your mommy and daddy get along with each other?'

Where are they coming up with this stuff? Guidelines from the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) which classifies parents as "persons of interest" and encourages doctors to ask children questions in order to uncover their behavior. Doctors are encouraged to ignore things like legal barriers, parental involvement, or common sense as they shake down their young patients for all the inside info they can get. What do they do with it? One father in Massachusetts was reported to the police for his gun ownership-- legal gun ownership. That particular doctor followed up the invasive questions to the five year old with questions to her mother trying to get the goods on dad before filing the report-- which was totally unfounded as dad acted completely within the law. You've heard about the arrogance of physicians-- we'll talk about its far reaching implications when your child is involved tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT. Want to read about it? Click here.

MONDAY MARCH 3, 2008 7:55 PM (PT Talking with Tom Cryer now. If you want to be part of "Operation Stop Thief", telling the truth about income tax at post offices across the country on April 15th, email Tom here, for info.

MONDAY MARCH 3, 2008 12:01 AM (PT) If you think income tax is about money, think again. Money is the symptom, but the cause is control. Through income taxes you become a slave to the government. Tom Cryer, a lawyer and patriot is one of the few tax protesters who really knows his stuff, which is exactly why he beat the IRS criminal charges of willfully not paying the tax debt the government claims he owes. As you know, if you've heard me talking with Tom previously, that doesn't mean he's off the hook in terms of actually having to pay it, simply that a jury found he was not criminally liable for willfully not filing. (If that's clear as mud, we'll explain it again tonight when we get an update on his case.) But the real reason he's joining us is to tell you about an event planned for April 15th this year. That date sound familiar? It should. And fittingly the event is called "Operation Stop Thief". Truth attack is coordinating it, and the plan is for this to be the first of what will be an annual event" until the IRS admits it's lying and stops stealing" to quote Tom. Time is tight, so tune in tonight and find out what you can do to further your liberty. As soon as I have links, I'll put them up.

FEBRUARY 2008

THURSDAY FEBRUARY 28, 2008 2:30 AM (PT) You think public schools haven't gone full tilt stupid? Never mind academics, they don't. Let's get on with indoctrination-- the real school mission. We'll tell you about a boy disciplined for writing with a pen his father gave him that happened to have a Glock logo on it. And another high school athlete suspended for weeks because he took a vitamin. By the way, neither of these acts violated the written rules.. didn't matter. Then there's the 8th grade girl thrown out of class for bringing in a picture of herself with a tommy gun, and a boy punished for drawing a picture of a weapon. More from the government your tax dollars support tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT.

I guess you want to do some reading. Fine. The Glock insanity is here. (It also contains the story of the Tommy gun girl.) The vitamin outrage is here. The kid The dangerous sketch of weapon is here. And you think there's not an agenda? Our greatest hope in fixing this would be to get Ron Paul elected. Speaking of Ron, here's Aimee Allen's campaign video (worth the watch). And here's why I love him. Ron and Ben Bernanke. You decide.

WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 27, 2008 2:30 PM (PT) So you're still convinced you want socialized medicine? I was going to save this story for another night, but it made my blood boil enough that it can't wait. You'll hear all the details, but the bottom line is the supreme court ruled that if a medical device kills you, you can't sue if it's approved by the FDA. Do you have any idea what the implications are of that? If not, we'll spell them out tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT.

Sandy Frazier called this to our attention. Want to do some pre-reading before the show? Check out the blog for Robert Weiss, an attorney who fights for your rights, often against government (and other) bureaucracies here. (His full website is here. Read his bio here.) Here's the Reuters story on the decision. If you're not outraged at even the thought of this decision, let me remind you, this is the same FDA that says aspartame is no problem but a simple herb with thousands of years of world wide use (stevia) isn't approved for use in soft drinks. The same FDA that allows hormone replacement therapy drugs with tons of side effects but is threatening compounding pharamcists from dispensing bio identical (not patentable of course)estriol. Don't get me started now. I'll start tonight. We'll have a long talk.

WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 27, 2008 2:00 AM (PT) The government is mandating you change your light bulbs. They're suggesting you use something that can poison you. Think I'm kidding? Congress is banning the sale of tried and true incandescent bulbs within a few years. But they're touting what they claim is a great replacement. Unfortunately, if you read the fine print from the EPA, there are a few problems, but your trust government wouldn't possibly suggest something poisonous, would it? Read the fine print about what happens when you break one of these newfangled CFL (fluorescent) bulbs. If it doesn't injure you, you might die from the shock of what it might cost for clean up. You'll especially like the part about cutting out the affected carpet. Once again, a solution in search of a problem. Read about it here. And that's just for openers. We'll fill you in on the rest of the story tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT, but in the meantime if you want a decent replacement for incandescent bulbs (shameless plug here) check out the LED lights from the CCrane Company.

Beach music fan? You'll want to check out JD Cash ("My Dancin' Shoes" "Strolling On The Boardwalk") on his new myspace page here. Shag anyone?

TUESDAY FEBRUARY 26, 2008 1:00 AM (PT) Nebraska wants to protect children... from their parents. They've analyzed lots of data and decided.. to completely ignore it. The Nebraska legislature is debating a bill today LB 1141, that would make it difficult and expensive to home school. It's got a lot of requirements and the convenient concept that the state will determine everything. And when they determine the child should not be home schooled, parents have no recourse but to put them in government approved halls of indoctrination. Details on tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT. Want to read the bill? It's here. Want to see the opinion of a parent who home schools. It's here. Want to see some of the HSLDA info. It's here.

MONDAY FEBRUARY 25, 2008 1:00 AM (PT) Valentine's Day is for lovers, and couples. And some of them meet secretly. Keeping it to themselves, they make agreements privately and carry on as if no one were the wiser. Well, it's one thing for people, and another for governments... but that was pretty much the scene on February 14th this year when the US and Canada signed a military agreement without telling you or congress. There was equal silence north of the border. We'll tell you what we know and why it matters tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT. Read about it here. (Another great article from Jerome Corsi.)

FRIDAY FEBRUARY 22, 2008 10:30 PM (PT) Missed trivia? Missed the answer? Here's what we revealed:

Jerry Seinfeld quote: "Women's magazines always seem to me to be instructing blank on how to act like women." Fill in the blank. Aliens. (He went on to say, "It's as though people know nothing. What to wear at a picnic, what to eat when you get to the picnic.. On the other hand, there's very little advice in men's magazines, because men don't think there's a lot they don't know. Men think, 'I know what I"m doing, just show me somebody naked.'")

According to Beatles producer George Martin, George Harrison's inspiration for "Taxman" was what? Neal Hefti's "Batman" (The Emmy winning theme song from the 1960s TV show).

Americans spend more than $630 million a year on this. On what? Golf balls.

On the averagae day in America, more than 13,00 people did this in the 1990s. Less do it today. Do what? Visit the Grand Canyon. (Because of environmental concerns tourism is now being limited.)

In America in the 1800s, using this was considered to be an excellent way to clean hair. Using what? Rum. (Brandy was supposed to strenghten roots. It was in the 1829 book "The Frugal Housewife" written by Mrs. Lydia Childs.) I'll be back to type to you before Monday. Have a fine weekend.

FRIDAY FEBRUARY 22, 2008 12:01 AM (PT) Trivia tonight. 3 big hours. As for the few trivia shows, I'm making good on my promise to print the answers of the questions I've asked. At least the ones I can remember. In no particular order here we go:

In 1979, the first woman ever was elected to this position. What position? Head of a local steel union. (Alice Peurala was the first and only woman to do so. She was elected to head Local 65 of United Steelworkers in Chicago. At 58 years old, she died of Cancer in 1986.)

In 1984, the American Cancer Society said this was a major contributor to Cancer. What? Diet.

Nearly one in four people said they have more headaches during the Christmas season than any other time of the year? Of those surveyed, 75% said that not having enough time caused them to have headaches. 73% said crowds and traffic created their headaches. 51% said this did it. What? Skipping meals.

In 1995, a contractor sued the federal government and won. It scaled back an entire government program. What was the issue? Civil rights. The contractor submitted a lower bid than a Hispanic for a job installing guardrails on a highway, and he sued (and won) when the Hispanic got the job.

There's enough water collectively throughout the US from this source to cover the city of San Francisco with a layer of water about 7 feet deep. What sources? Water in swimming pools in America.

In 1987, a local TV station became the first major market television station in the US do this. Air a condom commercial (on San Francisco's KRON).

In Washington, there is a statue honoring the father of modern day blank. What? Air conditioning. (Dr. John Gorrie of Appalachicola, FL invented mechanical refrigeration in 1851. He patented his device on May 6, 1851. The statue is in the Statuary Hall of the Capitol Building in Washington, DC.)

This well known American item considered anti-Islamic and importing it to Iran is prohibited. However dozens of shops in Tehran in the late 1990s had them. The price was as much as $700 in a country where the average monthly salary was $100. What is it? A Barbie Doll. (The shops displayed original All-American Barbie in a swimsuit. A three foot tall Barbie Bride model was selling for as much as $700. A Dutch study indicated that 28% of Dutch adults admitted a far of this. What? Flying. 50% have never flown in an airplane.)

Most people assume this always results in death. But it is possible for someone to do it and not die. What? Drown. (Technically the term 'drowning' refers to the process of taking water into the lungs, not to death caused by it.)

In order to become an astronaut, applicants to NASA's Mercury Space program in 1959 were required to be in the military; hold a bachelor's degree in engineering; be a qualified jet pilot with over 1500 hours of flying time. They must be under 40, in excellent physical condition with perfect eyesight and have one other attribute. What? Be shorter than 5'11".

Biologists long wondered why some viruses were harmless and others close in makeup can kill. In 1995 they announced they had evidence that this creates the difference. What? The diet of the host. (In mice a harmless virus turned deadly when introduced into mice deficient in selenium. It mutated into a virus that caused heart disease. Furthermore, that mutated virus injected into healthy selenium rich mice also produced heart disease.)

Over 96% of all women do this. What? Wear underwear. More just like it tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT. Talk to you then.

THURSDAY FEBRUARY 21, 2008 3:30 AM (PT) Recently we told you about the farce of psychiatry labeling common teenage rebellion as a mental illness. Most of the time it's just a stage of growing up. But every now and then it might be ghosts? Think I'm kidding? Well Mary Ann Winkowski knows first hand. She talks to ghosts. Always has. And the stories in her new book, When Ghosts Speak, are real eye openers. It might even explain what's going on in your life. She'll give you amazing details tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT. Get a copy of the book at a great price here. And check out Mary Ann's site here.

WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 20, 2008 2:40 AM (PT) The bride was beautiful-- and recently deported. The groom hadn't yet been caught-- he'd sneak back into America after the ceremony. But they'd be together soon-- in the US where to quote him "our life is there". It may be his American dream, but it's most American citizens' nightmare. They're illegal and proud of it. And not alone. Nearly 600 couples tied the knot in a mass Tijuana mass wedding recently. Guess where they all plan to reside? Festive details tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT. Read it and weep here.

TUESDAY FEBRUARY 19, 2008 12:10 AM (PT) We have a war on drugs that has put hundreds of thousands of Americans in jail. Apparently no one has told the big pharmaceutical companies which have never found a condition they can't medicate. The latest? Teenage rebellion. Can you name any kid who hasn't gone through the rebellious stage? Well neither can the legal drug pushers who have now labeled it a a treatable mental illness. It's called Oppositional Defiant Disorder and it's the latest way to label and hook your kids. Details tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT. Read about it here. And yes we'll cover today's primaries-- heaven knows the powers that be will continue to cover up the results. We'll go over some of the recently uncovered 'irregularities' too.

MONDAY FEBRUARY 18, 2008 2:00 AM (PT) Ever wonder what happens when an illegal alien manages to change status and get a green card? Take one that has been working for a decade under a phony number. Do you think that would hurt their chances at being legal? Not only is that not the case but get ready for an outrage. The social security office instructs this woman to bring her employment history in and they'll credit the work towards her benefits on her new number. I'll make your blood boil tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT.

No story to link here. This is a first hand experience of a listener in San Diego who took a relative, here illegally for years to get a social security number now that she has a legit green card. He heard it, saw it, and was sickened by it. How about you? We'll also tell you about a case where a citizen was beaten by a group of day laborers-- police, in cahoots with Hispanic activists tried to arrest the victim. Apologies for not getting the trivia answers up. Too much to do, not enough time. I promise to have them up before the next Trivia show (and now that I've written that, I'll have to keep my word).

THURSDAY FEBRUARY 14, 2008 12:20 AM (MT) HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! The government is at it again. Trying to ban a natural supplement. This time it's bio identical hormones which have helped hundreds of thousands. So what's behind it? Big pharmaceutical companies who prefer you take their side effect laden but patentable alternatives. Dr. Jonathan Wright of the Tahoma Clinic joins me to tell you what you should know about the drugs your taking and how to stop the FDA from banning the ones you want, tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT. Find out about the move to ban bio-identical hormones here, and check out more info on Dr. Wright's website here.

WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 13, 2008 1:00 AM (PT) The financial woes of England's socialized medicine system are well known. From rampant hospital borne infections to denying treatment to patients. Turns out they have virtually unlimited funds when it comes to... paying surrogates to have babies for gay couples. 15,000 pounds each, as well as all medical expenses. They'll offer the service to barren heterosexual couples too. It's part of their assisted reproductive policy. Meanwhile arthritics are told to treat themselves at home. Hear this tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT. And read about it here.

TUESDAY FEBRUARY 12, 2008 12:01 AM (PT) In 2003 the FDA knew that HPV, Human Papilloma Virus did not cause cancer. Yet they've continued to push states into mandating a vaccine to prevent it. They want all sixth grade girls inoculated. There's evidence that the vaccine may increase cancer, there's numerous cases of deadly side effects, and there's research that says at best it just doesn't work. But the governor of Texas continues to defend his decision to force it on unsuspecting kids. Murderous details tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT. Read about it here and here. We've told you about our favorite YouTube videos, Scott Pettersen's The Bubble Man (here if you haven't seen it) but Luke sent us a link to a similar subject. Check out The Richter Scales' technology bubble here. Great stuff.

MONDAY FEBRUARY 11, 2008 12:01 AM (MT) Do you really want a President with absolutely no sense of humor? One who, for instance, sets the rules for TV news hosts to follow and when they don't, triumphantly says she knows the network will 'do the right thing'. Privately she adds two words "or else".. "Else" being she'll stiff MSNBC in upcoming debates if they don't acquiesce. Shame on MSNBC who took the guy in question off the air. Of course we're talking Hillary Rotten Clinton. And if she pulls this stuff during the campaign, what do you think she'd be like in the highest office? Hildebeast details tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT. If you haven't heard this outrage, I've got lots to tell you.

THURSDAY FEBRUARY 7, 2008 2:00 AM (PT) Think there's no North American Union? Why else would our government be backing Mexico which violated a water treaty with Texas farmers? And how else could it be heard in a Canadian court --which it will be soon. The farmers have already chalked up half a million dollars in legal fees. But most frustrating is the money they're spending because their government intervened on the side of a foreign country. Water will be as big an issue as globalism in the future so hear these details tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT. Read all about it here.

WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 6, 2008 Reading writing and retching is how some parents see the lesson plans put forth by the school board of Montgomery County Maryland, a suburb of DC, that has kids learning the ins and outs of how to use condoms during anal sex, and a lot more. More than most adults probably know, or care to know. Emboldened by a judge's blessing, the board has a message for parents objecting: Get out of town and shut up. Here all the sides.. oh yes much more than two, tonight at 10 ET / 7 PT. Read about it here.

TUESDAY FEBRUARY 5, 2008 2:30 AM (PT) Imagine an ice cream maker proud of their natural product. Take Ben & Jerry's as an example. Imagine a competitor outraged that they would label it as 'free of synthetic hormones'. Take Monsanto as an example. Why would Monsanto try to stop such labeling? According to them because it's misleading. They're not doubting that the ice cream is hormone free, they're claim
