- CC1s121LrBGT said I listened yesterday and today and it is a nice change of pace. It also continues past 9 AM to 10 AM ET when I can switch to Mark Simone on WOR for his 10 AM show without having to hear Beck or one o...
- CC1s121LrBGT said I’m not a Hewitt fan either. In another post here yesterday, I called him “Color, Color It”. I was trying to be polite. In real life, I call him “Douche, Douchebag” lol...

- CC1s121LrBGT said I have had a similar experience with Beck and Co. Very very often they turn to the abortion issue and their crusade against it. I’m over 60 and have been hearing the arguments on both sides sin...

- CC1s121LrBGT said As Karz and roads get smarter, it will be interesting to see the different ways to interact with them. For example, although I may have a green light ahead of me at an obstructed corner, I’d li...
- Fred Stiening said There are technology solutions for some of the issues. Since vending machines can tell a $1 from a $20, the technology is pretty simple. Within the blind community, there is a sharp division of opin...
- briand75 said It is amazing how humans react to gifted folks. Blindness is a form of gifted – I know a couple of folks and they can tell you everything about yourself including whether you are smiling or anxi...
- briand75 said Yes – Kidz in Karz 🙂 I am still stuck on Baby Shark that my 5 year-old granddaughter turned me on to.
- briand75 said Saginaw is an interesting place. Probably worth a listen. I knew it as an artist’s colony of sorts. It used to be a booming lake port, but the Interstates took care of that.
- briand75 said Thanks CC 🙂 I will check these out. I am not a Hewitt fan, but I will give a listen to the others. Stu and whoever make my head explode with their arrogance and stupidity. I would rather watch Captain...

- CC1s121LrBGT said I am looking for a replacement for WMAL on my preset buttons…. they recently added a pre-roll commercial to the stream and like to change streams very often. I am checking out WIQO and others t...
- CC1s121LrBGT said Oy vey. Better than cars for drunks, but I hope I encounter neither when I am on the road… safer to take the light rail. 😉
- Fred Stiening said Interesting what the actual charity purpose of Karz4Kids actually is. I had no idea
- Fred Stiening said Getting the ~$75 million for the land under the former WMAL tower puts everything in perspective. No number of Kars4Kids PSAs would ever generate that kind of Kash.

- TheChairman said Except his ‘legacy’ lives on at the JustUs Department, the FBI/CIA/NSA bureaucracy, military brass, etc.
- Fred Stiening said Sure, although they need some weeding. Obama seems so far in the past. I didn’t think I would outlive his “rule”
- Fred Stiening said I guess that explains why his show was cancelled. Or maybe he never existed.

- Fred Stiening said And thank you for your help in 2018. I am pretty close to back to normal, Countess not so much. It was a close call for both of us.

Is Donald Trump going to cause a baby boom?
After World War two ended, couples (including my parents) were deferring thoughts of family stuff, and the pent up demand broke loose with a boom felt around the world. I have the sense that the 44th president, whose name I … Continue reading

Missing the message
A guest in John Batchelor was a classic case of “projection”, where you inject your own opinions onto other people, believing they share your motivations. The guest said multiple times that the motivation of the people who voted for Brexit … Continue reading

Brexit for Breakfast
My hypothetical question turns out not so hypothetical. England and Wales voted to leave the EU, Scotland and Northern Ireland want to stay. It’s pretty logical that proximity to the channel tunnel might be a factor. I wrote back on … Continue reading

Why a vote for Brexit won’t matter
If the Thursday vote results in a majority voting for Britain to leave the EU, it will have as much effect as electing Republicans to repeal Obamacare. The vote has no legal effect. It is only an advisory vote. The … Continue reading
