The 2006 Midterm Elections

The Elections are over and the ripple effect has begun. Although, there is much to enjoy about the end of the One Party Rule, we still have much work to do. From Election Reform to Accountability, we need to hold this new Democratic House and Senate in check. There are a myriad of problems left unaddressed by the 109th Congress and the White House. It's now time to fix them.

Thanks for listening.

Iraq & The Case For/Against Impeachment

With the Baker-Hamilton Report to be released shortly, this podcast will cover the basics of who is in this group, why it was created and the current state suggested for the road ahead in Iraq. No matter what this report offers, the reaction will surely be controversial. With the Democratic Party now in control, the talk of Impeachment is building. Is impeachment the right course of action. The arguments for and against impeachment will be presented from articles based upon and by Rep. John Conyers, the next chairperson of the Judiciary Committee. The answers will surprise.

Thanks for Listening.

The No-Fly List

On this Podcast, I will review the history, purpose and dangers to American travelers found in the government’s No-Fly List. Did you know there are actually two lists? Surprised – well, this information at times will shock you at how the names are compiled, how people are subjected to the list, the major loopholes in the list and what to do if you are kept from flying. Is it a government plan to keep liberals and progressive opposed to this administration from flying? Or is it just an ill planned and poorly executed safety tool that is not making us any safer? Listen and decide.

Thanks for Listening.

Civil War & The N-Word

NBC finally took the plunge that many people already knew. They have taken a "courageous" claim in declaring the war in Iraq as a Civil War. It's about time. Glad they joined the club of many people who have called this a civil war. Now, find out what that means and why the government is refusing to acknowledge this fact.

The incident with Michael Richards has sparked controversy, but has it caused us to go down the wrong road to censorship. Maybe George Carlin can show us the path to enlightenment and get reminded of what true hate sounds like. I have that clip too.

Plus, an email from a listener, the Global Warming Update, the President's Horoscope, a Word from our New Sponsor and The What a Weinie Award.

Masssachusetts v. EPA

The United States Supreme Court heard this landmark case that is the first that may affect Greenhouse Gas emissions in new cars and trucks. It is a Global Warming first and will be watched closely by environmentalists and the industrial sector alike. Will the states be able to prove their case? I will read to you portions of the most interesting questions and arguments by the court. Pay special attention to what Justice Thomas has to say. Also, this week sees the anniversary of the death of John Lennon. I have a tribute to him this week. Be sure to listen to the unheard portions of a Fox broadcast of Brit Hume that the public did not get to hear.
