18th Show

Our 18th Show covered the decline of SAT scores and the situation with Iran and Israel.  We had a caller who mistakenly called one of us  Zionist because that person apparently had the "audacity" to present a factually based assessment which was evenhanded and didn't just blast Israel as being entirely in the wrong.  In fact, that person even said Iran had the right to build a nuclear weapon since it was in its own self-interest and if the USA has the right to act in its own self-interest then so does Iran.  Well, you listen to the broadcast and decide for yourself if we have a Zionist as one of the opinion givers.

17th Show

Our 17th show focused on education and the Chicago teachers' strike.  We had two excellent callers, Ben from Salinas and BJ, a former teacher.  The issues really boiled down to centralization, Federal control making school districts no longer local and too much administration.

16th Show

Our 16th show had Lynette Shaw as our special guest.  She had run the oldest Medical Marijuana clinic in the state and was shut down by what amounted to police state tactics by the Obama Administration.  She had been above board and did everything by the book.  She was even Fairfield's 3rd largest sales tax contributor, was a member in good standing with the local Chamber of Commerce, etc.  This was both an interesting and illuminating show.

13th Show

Our 13th Show covered Representative Akin of Missouri and his "misspeaking" about rape.  He is actually representative of the Right and its call to curtail rights and impose government intrusion. Add in his redefining of rape and you can see how he is not one that truly believes in freedom and liberty.  We also talked about more of the presidential race, the excessive use of the filibuster by the Republicans and the city of Salinas' attempt to increasing the sales tax.
