we can't win that war, and our ( bloated) Gov't is entirely too big.
we could start with privatizing schools and getting rid of the IRS.

I have heard him many times let callers have their say, til they were 
done talking. I have heard him talk through issues with callers who, I 
was SURE he would drop, yet he talked with them and had long 
conversations.
Lets not forget, it is his show, it is totally entertainment, and you 
have the choise of changing the channel.. there is always Air 
America :)

somehow I don't consider him in the same league as Howard Stern or the 
Greasepit, er Greaseman.. Back when I worked in DC, there were 2 rock 
station. One had Stern on in the morning, the other had the greasepit. 
That;s about the time I started listening to alternative radio...

but only 1 has traffic reports every 15 minutes. With Capt'n Herb!!!
