All this talk about the money that has been spent on the wars. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't that money go to companies that make ammunition, weapons etc., and aren't those companies located in the US which employ Americans.? Defense spending accomplishes two things: Keeps our enemies in check and employs Americans. Jeff T.

By working hard as a young man around grown men it lays a firm foundation for life's future challenges. Ask the average teenage boy the last time he had a dose of manual labor.

Here is one comparison I would like to hear someone in favor of the Mosque respond to. The purpose of the Mosque is outreach and to bridge gaps and we respond this as misguided and offensive. If we were to build a statue of Mohamed across the street to bridge a gap with our Muslim friends, they would consider it misguided and offensive and probably issue a death edict.

Only twice before did the factors line up as they are this time, each with 100 plus swing resulting. Who knows?

Dennis -
Long time listener and first time comment. Had to write when I heard your comments on the new NIKE/Tiger Woods commercial on 4/08 with Tiger's Dad's "words-of-wisdom" voice over. You didn't seem to know what to make of it.
As a husband and father of 2, I see it like this. It's pretty simple:
To cheat on your wife and family, not once but several times, is egregious.
To use your own father's voice and instruction in a NIKE ad to restore your commercial acceptance with the public is despicable.
Tiger should be ashamed. Don't exploit your father's wisdom and teaching in a commercial to restore your own reputation for financial gain.

Every time I hear some "expert" gushing over nuclear power, I notice they seem to conflate the terms "safe" and "clean". It is NOT safe, long term. The only safe nuclear power is that which is 93 million miles away and filtered by an atmoshere which is as permanently and automatically maintained by nature as life itself. Uncorking the power of the stars here on earth reminds me of Mickey Mouse as the Sorceror's Apprentice in Disney's FANTASIA. The "safe" use of nuclear power requires constant and careful use of complicated and beurocratic human infrastructure, and anything human is fallible. With atomic radiation, the physical danger is relatively immortal. The proper care of any given quantity of radioactive material must necessarily span many generations. Can any of the experts guarantee that those born hundreds of years from now will still be responsible stewards of the thousands of Genies they propose to loose upon our world?

About Dennis's plans for the show:
I think he does just fine with callers. He usually only loses patience with them after I've already lost patience with them, so here's one listener with no complaints.
Does he need a sidekick? I dunno -- he's the expert. All I know is, I'd like to hear Paula Poundstone on the show sometimes. Also, Jim Gaffigan (I love his manatee/"sea cow" routine).
How 'bout it, Dennis?

Listening to a bit of the White House health care confab this a.m., I have one observation. The give and take between BHO and John McCain was brutal. McCain was trying to make some valid points, and each time he brought one up, he was subjected to the absolutely pathetic response "the campaign is over, we won" response from BHO. It reminds me of two kids on a playground and the one kid that keeps saying, "I'm rubber, you're glue, everything bounces off me and sticks to you."
Grow up BHO. You sound like a third grader. Either allow a legitimate debate to occur over healthcare or crawl back to your secret treehouse with Rahm et. al.

In addition, they have imposed mandates that insurance companies cover various specific illnesses and treatments -- you can't just buy insurance for EXPENSIVE illnesses. Government is wrecking the insurance business, so they'll have an excuse to take over.

Dennis, I love you, but as someone who is currently in the Marines, I can tell you: the reason for Don't Ask/Don't Tell is not that the military is morally or culturally antiquated, as you seem to suggest.
There are UCMJ rules against fraternization even between ranks, let alone genders. We already separate troops by those distinctions (e.g., different barracks, billets, etc.) Romantic relationships are supposed to be forbidden, and by eradicating the military's ability to separate potential lovers, you are introducing big problems in terms of a unit's ability to efficiently execute its operations. Our job is to defend and enforce--we do not want to accommodate your love life.
We don't care if some feel we are morally obsolete, and contrary to some claims.
I don't see why so many CIVILIANS feel that WE, the military, have to be reformed to reflect THEIR fleeting social sensibilities.

Hey Dennis,
A few weeks ago the show spent a few days in thoughtful discussion about why or how God caused the tragedy in Haiti. I for one don't profess to have any idea of how to answer the question. Perhaps if I were only as smart as Pat Robertson or Danny Glover. I do know it seems to be in our collective DNA to always immediately look for someone to blame for any misfortune that touches our lives. Fair enough. The day before yesterday a 15 year old girl was pulled alive from the rubble after 15 days. Don't our scientists tell us it's impossible for a human to live for more than a few days without water? Today the young girl's family and friends feel truly blessed by this even in the midst of unbelievable devastation. Would it be fair to wonder why we don't seem to be willing to spend as much time reflecting on our blessings or even miracles as we do on our misfortune? That's my rant for the day.

When they are finally closed in on and the ultimate conflict is imminent, they still foolishly believe that they can devise an escape plan. Unfortunately, they are outnumbered by the hundreds and are obliterated immediately. Bad guys are bad guys, and cockiness doesn't help the situation.
Dennis, The just released "Fort Hood Report" is a new level of dangerous political correctness at the expense of national security. Based on the report, one can only conclude that the military's policy of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" now extends fully to Islamic Fundamentalist Terrorist as well.

Bill Schulz of Redeye composed a haiku-style poem to counter Algore's twaddle:
Polar Bears scream
Tears no longer drip from their eyes
Might as well eat them
Some have said the poem seems sympathetic to the enviros. I think it teases Algore and the gang.
But that's the beauty of poetry: You can have your own interpretation, even if you're wrong. (Reminds me of "progressives," anyway.)

Ayn Rand - I read Atlas Shrugged about 5 yrs ago. There was a copy floating around the break room back then. I would have to be on the clock to read that one, it was such a slog. A bunch of us read it back then, and as you've said on the air how it sticks with you. Not necessarily the details, but the core ideas and characters. Some stuff I read and realize partway through that I read this already. I guess I need to read the Fountainhead someday soon. Right now I have Mark Steyn's "America Alone". I haven't started it yet.

Dennis, I hope you get the book I recommended, "Deconstructing Sammy" by Birback. By the time I got to the fifth page of the book, it occurred to me that since Sammy's death there hadn't been any real media or press about his movies, albums, and what little was said was in relation to the other Rat Pack-ers (Even in the docu-movies his life wasn't very detailed). Why? Because Uncle Sam owned everything - his career, his assets, his very name and essence. It took the former prosecuting attorney of that time - the same man who brought down E.F. Hutton - to get a portion of his financial mess tidied up, but I have a feeling there is still alot of unspoken business there. I know you're gonna want to interview Birkback after that. I've seen him and he's very impressive.

Mark Steyn's masterwork "America Alone" is greatly concerned with issues of demography. When I read the obituary of Gene Barry in the paper today, I couldn't help thinking of that. I loved Barry and still enjoy watching War of the Worlds (never gonna see the Tom Cruise version, ick) and while I was too young for Bat Masterson when it was on, I loved Burke's Law and caught it every chance I got.
At the end of the obituary, the list of survivors mentions 3 children, 3 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren.
Granted the time-clock hasn't run out yet, but still, that struck me as symptomatic. Gene Barry and his wife produced children, which led to grandchildren, which led to great-grandchildren... If it had been just Gene and his wife that resulted in 2 great-grandchildren, then the population balance remains steady. But others were involved too. The parents of those who married the children of Gene and his wife and produced those children and grandchildren... At the very least there were a total of 4, who produced 3, and then 2...
That's demography and population-shrinkage in the modern world in a popular and well-known and -loved nutshell.

Just remember Galileo's parting shot: after he was made to recant his beliefs, on the way out he supposedly muttered under his breath, "Nevertheless, it moves." The Earth moves around the sun -- that was Galileo's rice bowl.

Our President and his idiot press secretary said (and keep saying) the most amazingly stupid statements which are essentially, 'we have to stop and reverse climate change'. It seems they never take a moment to think about what they are saying (especially when there is so much taxing and redistributing to do). Can you believe our president is trying to sell Americans and the world on such an obvious oxymoron? Note to the President: Climate Always Changes! Period. Imagine having to tell this to a Harvard Professor and United States President(a Harvard education ain't what it used to be)!
I just wish these GW cultists would be a bit more practical and instead of charging after windmills trying to save the whole wide world at once, they would instead focus on real problems such as pollution here or heal a stream there...that I could and would support.

NH soldier gets $445k after being illegally fired
By Associated Press
November 27, 2009 10:39 AMJAFFREY, N.H. - A New Hampshire soldier has been awarded $445,000 for being demoted and then fired after he returned from Iraq.
Sgt. Stephen Fryer of Jaffrey is a member of a Massachusetts National Guard unit based in Gardner.
He sued A.S.A.P Fire and Safety Corp., of Tyngsborough last winter. Fryer claimed that when he returned from an Iraq deployment in May 2008 the company refused to rehire him.
He was eventually rehired, but was demoted. He says he was fired when he asked for his old job back.
Fryer says the lawsuit was for all members of the armed services and their families.
A.S.A.P. owner Joseph Sheedy tells the New Hampshire Union Leader he will appeal. Sheedy says Fryer was fired because he didn't show up for work.

No leisure time equals daily survival.
More leisure time affords us the time to THINK, and apparently, get confused.
We all THINK we have stuff and we all THINK we want stuff.

Some THINK they have less, while others THINK they have more.
Some THINK they want more, while others THINK they are content.
We have "RULES OF ACQUISITION"!
It's called "civilized" society.
This rock in space is covered with many groups.
Codes of behavior to benefit the group.
Some more "civilized" than others.
Corruptible? YES
Most are controlled by predators to benefit a smaller group that THINKS alike at the expense of all the Gerbils.
Not ALWAYS fair for the individual prey? I THINK NOT!
Some predators THINK the rules don't apply.
Some predators THINK they should CHANGE the rules, at the expense of the group, to benefit themselves.
Apparently there are fifty-one states in the USA. The "State of Confusion" is predator heaven. Its populated with some very well fed tigers and snakes.
If you THINK you are "ENTITLED" based on want alone, tell your boss he needs to pay you to stay home and watch soaps. OOPS, sorry, I forgot you don't need to work to survive.
If you THINK some "under-achieving" "under privileged" knucklehead living in a trailer THINKS he should have your House and Prius and all your stuff is fair, then I THINK you should take down the gate and cancel the Brinks service.
If you THINK those less "civilized" societies controlled by a small group of ego-maniacal predatory zealots should rule the world, go ahead you confused Gerbil find a snake and cuddle....
If you are unable to open your minds eye and see the teeth, at least THINK about: "Not sending me those damnable emails".

From JFK's planned speach in Dallas for Nov 22, 1963, that he never got to give:
"If we are strong, our strength will speak for itself. If we are weak, words will be no help."
Barry should hear about that too. But then I remember again, if JFK were alive now, the Dems would have nothing to do with him.

Dennis, The Administration's new tag line covers everything they stand for: "Cash for the Clueless".

in reference to the Sarah Palin interview, she used three words that tell me all I need to know: "Snarky", Flippin'", and "Crap". Any politician that can use those words and sound completely natural and comfortable in their delivery will be a welcome change from the status quo and just what this country needs.

Thanks for the new photo of Intern Jebediah -- the toothless silent scream was beginning to creep me out. Also nice to know that the former Master of Massey College isn't really dead, but has found a new job in his dotage. He'll set a whole new standard of intern dress, with the cape and cane and broad-brimmed fedora we used to see him parading around in up here in Toronto. Nice to see him sober too?

Caveat to Marc's long standing military joke: Boy Scouts can carry knives as long as they stay off public school property, where they would be deemed to pose a clear and present danger.

In the military we have a long standing joke: What is the difference between a soldier and a boy scout, boy scouts can carry knives!

Hi Dennis,
I have a solution that will resolve all the issues for the terrorist trials…
Try them via military trail.
Once all 5 are convicted, they can then be flown back to the United States at time which the following should occur and be broadcast on Al Jazeera and Fox News only.
Fly Terrorist #1 over Shanksville PA in a C-130 and push him out the back of the plane, but he would be inside the deflated balloon used by the Balloon Boy.
Fly terrorist #2 over the Pentagon parking lot and just throw him out after making him flap his arms before “launch”
Fly Terrorist #3 & #4 over the Twin Tower Sites in a Helicopter. At the height of 1362 ft throw out #3, Once he lands, the helo ascends to a height of 1368 ft and then #4 is ejected.
Finally, number five should be flown to Ft Lewis where upon and will be tasked to run up and down the target area of the rifle range providing more realistic training for the troops. The soldier that nails him automatically qualifies as a rifle expert.
This plan should appease Holder’s argument that the victim’s family should get to see them. (Knucklehead).

The next step in Jane's plan is no doubt to cull the human herd which eats and breathes and burps and farts and burns fossil fuels. No doubt, ideology will be the litmus test for who gets whacked.

Please have mercy & release "Dennis does War Pigs" collection from the beginning of the show, all 10 or so tries at it! I need every version to fill a void in my heavy metal collection!
(make sure the post-concert comments are there, too.) I've almost wrecked the car several times listening to it, but it's WORTH it! (And the gakked Ozzy version would be the cherry on top of a metal classic.) Dennis, your love shows there! Thanks!

Watching Sal do his bathrobe session: I knew a palace coup had to happen sometime. But it's not over yet. Next time I tune in, I fully expect to see Mowgli in the chair.
(P.S. -- did Sal bring his own bathrobe, of did he inherit Dennis's robe as well as his throne?)

Hey Dennis, do not miss the POV documentary on PBS about the troop greeters at the Bangor, Maine airport. I am feeling so proud and grateful to the soldiers and these senior citizens who represent the best of America. You said you didn't get a chance to see it, but there is an eight minute recap online.

Dennis, Google News is extremely useful to determine the relative significance of a story in the MSM. Let's contrast two recent ones:
22 stories - The black college professor punching a white woman in the face.
286 stories - An evangelist being convicted of sex crimes
The latter by the way was just minutes after the story was released. But why is the former story so thinly covered?

Of course, Jack Palance was great, sinister, menacing, and EVIL in "Shane." But I still think Bruce Dern was the greatest cowboy bad guy.
He was more of the whiny, smart-aleck juvenile-delinquent punk type of villain. He was good in "Hang 'em High" as one of the hangers. He killed John Wayne in "The Cowboys." And he was a great comic villain in "Support Your Local Sheriff." I think he was the best ever.

Dennis, my Thanksgiving turkey is all moved in. We always go with a live bird. This years he's staying in the guest room watching Direct TV and filling up on nutritious snacks. So on Wednesday the 25th he'll answer the front door thinking that it's Publishers' Clearing house and it will be all over. That big cardboard fake check takes the head clean off, just like the Pilgrims did it. He'll never know what hit him.

Thanks for cutting Sal loose on the Bathrobe Session. It was disturbingly funny... like watching an "R" rated Rain Man.

I agree with Dennis -- I gave up on trying to use the "earbuds," the things you cram in your ears. The insides of my ears aren't threaded, and that's what you have to have to wear those things.
So I use headphones; they stay on (more or less).
