- That's what it will be like when we're on the Obamacare "reservation," when we get the medical care government chooses to dole out. It's better to be a hunter, and provide for ourselves in some manner, than to be put on the reservation and take what government dishes out, with no place to complain.

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? If environmentalists have ever been right about anything, they were right a generation ago about halting construction of nukes.

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."

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.

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.

Dennis, I got a good laugh out of the moniker, Fruit of Kaboom Bomber, that one of your callers offered up for the skid mark jihadist. I guess the mainstream media can't incorporate brand names such as BVD Bomber or Jockey Jihadist, thus the bland, Underwear Bomber, or Shoe Bomber (with his Air Jihads).

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.

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).

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.

I can't think of another show that covers as many subjects with

The best part, I convinced my employees to listen to your show instead of NPR! I can't thank you enough.

Tonight he'll be lured into the garage with the promise of a date with the neighbor's pink flamingo. It will be over before he realizes that she's made of plastic. He'll never see it coming.

Don't THINK it applies to you? Your right!
THINK you agree? OK.
THINK you disagree? OK.
Just THINK!
Hey there Horatio,
Somethin's beginning to bug me!
A snake and a gerbil,
A tiger and a pig,
a cat and a bird,
A dog, a cat, and a mouse.
I keep getting the emails with photos of strange nature pairings.
Don't get me wrong.I don't mind that in the least.
I think its interesting to see natures predators verses prey in a state of confusion. Even born instincts can be overcome.
It's the moral message they ALWAYS include.
(whinny voice)
"Why can't we all just get along too?"
So,
Let me try to esplain' it to you Lucy!
ANIMALS DON'T THINK!
WE THINK!
Over SIX BILLION of us.
Thinking to the power of leisure.
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.
e.g. possessions, power, wealth.
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".

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).

We started to date, and whenever the conversation went to you and your comedy, we had a nickname for you: "The Great One".
Fast forward to today. That young lady is now my wife, and on the 23rd, we will have been together in matrimony for 5 years. While you and I agreed during my call from 2007 that you weren't a major reason for us getting together, you were a catalyst in what you referred to as the "bouillabaisse of love" for me and m'lady. Thanks again.

Dennis,
Should you or your staff need to contact me this weekend, I must inform you that I will be in my backyard and quite busy working on the final stages of a prototype helium balloon, airship, or what I have termed: a stabilized universal elastic, space unifying eco-module, pseudo-dirigible identified object or, abbreviated, a “Sue Sue Pseudo I O” (with respect to Phil Collins). My plan is to finish the craft, inflate it with flammable helium, and insufficiently tether it to weak stakes in the ground in the back yard, leaving a small astro-travelers compartment at the base of the craft, completely accessible and unsecured from neighborhood children and pets. Just thought I would let you know.

Hypocrisy alert: Isaiah Thomas (former Guard from the Detroit Pistons) was famously quoted as ignorantly saying Larry Bird was overrated and would be seen as just an average basketball player if he were black. A stupid statement and racial if not racist. Isaiah later became a coach and GM and part owner of NBA teams.
Rush makes a similar ignorant/racial comment about Donovan McNabb and he is beaten to a pulp by the media, and several years after that comment is kicked-out out of a NFL part-owner bid???? I'm not Rush fan, but the double standard is not good for these supposed post-racial times. What a joke.

Hey Dennis,
So, Roger Godell has set the standard for participation in the NFL. I for one am glad to see it. His statement- "I've said many times before we're all held to a high standard here, and I think divisive comments are not what the NFL is all about. I would not want to see those comments coming from people who are in a responsible position in the NFL, absolutely not." I'm not a big fan of Rush but apparently you can't participate in the NFL if you've even been accused of saying something true or not. That's holding an organization to a high bar. I guess the convicted felons, accused wife and girlfriend beaters, tax cheats, drunk drivers, accused rapists, and other assorted miscreants currently receiving large checks each week for their participation in the NFL will be receiving their pink slips today.I say with tongue only partially in cheek.

In an effort to curry favor with the gay community, Obama has promised he will do away with "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" at some unspecified time in the future. An alternative bill, "Ask and if I tell you I am gay, Don't worry... I'm here to defend my country, not have sex" enjoys wide support in the gay community. Critics, however, say its too deferential to gays and is a bit "clumsy" in its wording. A simpler bill designed to put the issue to rest once and for all is expected to be presented next week. It's called simply "Don't."

After watching the freak parade last week for Chicago's bid to host the Olympics, I feel that New York State should make the sacrifice and let Chicago host the UN in 2016 for 4 years, and then start a new policy of having a mechanism for moving the UN headquarters around the world every four (4) years. Instead of countries bidding to host the UN, we could get countries to PAY for not hosting them.
This would free up some prime property in NYC, stop burdening the people of New York State and NYC with the cost of catering to the diplomats, a Win-Win for New York State.
Any thoughts??, Since we cannot get the UN to move to the Middle East, perhaps you have a more elegant (better) solution.
Thanks for your time in reviewing this idea, your take on the news makes it tolarable in these crazy days.

Prepare for three more years of HSM3 style choreography for upcoming speeches loaded with more and more special effects sizzle and less and less steak.

One Congressman Neil Abercrombie (D-Hawaii) just upped the cost to double that by inserting a provision that requires the use of union labor, which must be shipped to and housed in Guam instead of using the available local labor. Doubling the cost of a DOD project to benefit a small constituency is an outrageous abuse of Defense dollars. But that's just my opinion...

But I will have you know, sir, that her Gulfstream made a little detour into Austin, last weekend, as she sacrificially availed herself to us regular folks at a Democrat fundraiser that only cost$1,000 to attend. She even gave couples the opportunity to share in her benevolence by inviting them to donate up to $30,400. After the event, she came out with us regular folks to watch the University of Texas football game from a private skybox. How fitting that the stadium recently replaced its Astroturf with real grass, as natural and authentic as Nancy Pelosi herself! God bless her...

LASIK & PLASTIC SURGERY Annie Coulter recommended Mark Skousen as a stock market guru. I joined and here's a nugget from the first newsletter: As I demonstrate in my textbook “Economic Logic” (now in its third edition), time and time again, free market capitalism provides a way to reduce costs, while improving the quality and quantity of goods and services. Capitalism isn’t about rationing goods and services; it’s about making goods and services cheaper and better. That’s the American way, and it has worked for more than 200 years. Just look at what has happened to the cost and quality of two medical services that aren’t covered by insurance, elective cosmetic surgery and Lasik eye surgery. Both have improved immensely during the past 20 years, while costs have plummeted. The reason? The user pays, so the user has a reason to shop around, while the provider has a reason to improve service and reduce price.

"WHY WON'T THE BANK GIVE ME MY EQUITY BACK?" - I was out of town last week during the 10-21-09 show (just listened) right after Dirk, a caller asked why the bank doesn't "give him his equity back". I'd like to answer that....
The bank is not your partner in the purchase of your home. For those who made hundreds of thousands of dollars buying & selling during "normal" real estate cycles or during the boom, who among them offered the bank a share of the profit they made? Ridiculous thought huh? The bank is lending you money and taking the title to the house as collateral that you will re-pay the loan. What or how much they loan you is based on another parties (the appraiser that you hired) assessment of the value of the collateral. You went to the bank and told them what the house was worth. The fact that your house is worth less now has no bearing on the banks claim against your home (Pre-Obama that is?.. ). In the end, even after the loss of the down payment, the bank still lost more than you; are you going to help them out with that?
To explain even further, had you kept the money you used as a down payment in the bank, you would likely still not want to use that money to make payments on a house that is worth less than the mortgage balance?. But you'd have that choice. And, if you did decide to stop paying, the bank is entitled to all the cash you have in the bank (you signed personally) to make up for the deficiency of what they get at foreclosure and what the mortgage balance was? so, you'd of lost it anyway!
*Keep in mind that in most countries in the world, the only way to buy a home is to pay cash....

Dennis, I finally got to watch Wed's O'Reilly and as I was watching the segments leading up to yours, I saw clips of Obama that seem to show that he's lost his mojo. The video of him taking the question from the young girl ("I see mean signs")was very Stepfordy. Watch how he watches her; was that polite attentiveness or a raptor focused on an hours derv? When he realized she said her part and it was finally his turn to talk again, he shot her a fake politician shark like grin, reminiscent of the 'vegetarian' great white in Nemo. Or perhaps better is Yul Brynner in West World. Anyway, he looked super-frazzled and I think if we just go to the ear taunts now, we can get him to snap on live TV.
The other clips made me realize President Obama can't have any friends or he wouldn't still be turning into a marble statue of a greek God or heroic Russian peasant whenever he isn't being personally engaged. It's amazing how blind we are to ourselves sometimes; somebody needs to tell POTUS (fast) that he better knock it off if he doesn't want to become a lighting rod of scorn and ridicule. It won't be long before kids feel sorry for him, just like they did for William Hung on American Idol.
Your, "Great Speaker" vs. "Gets a Pass from the Media" self-debate, was beautiful as was your padlin' of Pelosi. POTUS is as dangerous as Biden when he is forced away from the teleprompters. Who would'a thunk? I can't wait to see what happens next.

DAVID LEONHARDT: So how do you - how do we deal with it?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I think that there is going to have to be a conversation that is guided by doctors, scientists, ethicists. And then there is going to have to be a very difficult democratic conversation that takes place. It is very difficult to imagine the country making those decisions just through the normal political channels. And that's part of why you have to have some independent group that can give you guidance. It's not determinative, but I think has to be able to give you some guidance. And that's part of what I suspect you'll see emerging out of the various health care conversations that are taking place on the Hill right now.

The "cash for clunkers" is the model he wants to use for America's healthcare system. You take good running car, maybe needs a bit of tuning up, maybe not quite the mileage you need, but it still works. Then he wants to crush the car so no one else can use it and rebuild another one.
He wants to scrap our system, not just fix the broken parts. Simply crush healthcare as we know it and start over.

I am PRAYING America has degraded into a bunch of whiny Europeans who need the government to cut the crusts off their PB and J sandwiches.

It's pretty ironic that a man like Skip Gates is asking us all to "Move On", which is in stark contrast to his day job which involves perpetually ripping the scabs off of old racial wounds in our society that range from 45 to 300 years old while completely denying the fact that in the past 30 years a lot of new racial wounds have been opened up by the actions of certain antagonistic blacks who seem to be completely clueless about their own racism and how it has poisoned their own souls and communities.
Racial "dialog" doesn't work too well when it's a tired, outdated, specious, boring, barely-relevant, monologue, and racist lecture.

I had a most delicious thought this morning while ruminating over this health care crisis. My idea, although impractical, could get a great dialogue going and expose the hypocrisy of this situation. All Democrats, including politicians, must take a public health care plan for which they are taxed. They can also opt to sponsor the clueless, since they care so much for them. All Republicans, including politicians, can keep or enroll in a private plan. Both parties are responsible for reforming their own system, policies, etc. This would have far-reaching implications and consequences to include changes in abortion frequencies, illegal immigration, voter registration fraud (no more need for literal "Mickey Mouse" voters) and much, much, more. Everybody puts their money where their mouths are. Yes, bleeding hearts are indeed part of our current problem, but there is a Band aid or tourniquet for what ails us all!

They lived very, very frugally to raise their children and did not over indulge them or apologize for the lack there of. Why does she have to be sitting in her living room, after she has written another check for her quarterly tax payment, she still saves money at 83 and generates an income. Why don't we just pull back on allowing "gang members" that are rolled into our trauma centers on an hourly basis, without a dime's worth of insurance, no will and just pull the plug. I know we would be pulling the plug on shows like Crime 360, First 48, and all the various shows built around gang violence and their victims. Also for consideration, would Senator Kennedy qualify for treatment for brain cancer at 76 under the plan he is pushing. I know he has a big cash vault but without that would he get treatment. Would his weight and his alcoholism be a factor. My mother in law walks every day, has never had a drop of alcohol and has never been involved in a crime or walked away from an accident?

Great show yesterday as usual Dennis.
I love when you spar with Sal, wish you did it a little more often. Not so often that it becomes this contentious Miller v. Salman ugly give and take every hour, but just a little bit more often. For instance your discussion with Sal yesterday about his obvious blind eye and free-pass for Obama's unevolved ignorant stance on gay marriage, while he skewers Cheney who is still pretty crusty on the topic, but is now clearly more evolved on the matter. It was one of the most revealing times on your show where Sal showed his unfortunate true colors of hatred for Cheney and blind punch-drunk love for Obama....though I do like Sal and find him to be a thoughtful and pretty tolerant liberal (which is a rarity).
Too many liberals are so enamored by Obama, they're giving him a pass on everything, including the media, it's not good for the country....too much is going unquestioned, thogh I'm heartened by the blue dog dems and some others that are starting to see the light and voice some questions if not outright opposition and resistance.....it's really sad and I'm truly concerned.
Love your show though....I listen to the podcast almost every day. Great interviews too.

Hello, Dennis.
You were recently discussing Keanu Reeves, and you said that he can be a good actor when he gets the right part. I'd like to drill that down a little bit further: he is a great actor if his part requires him to portray confusion.
The Matrix really solidified that for me. I think you'll find that he was great in the first one, kind of "meh" in the second one, and bad in the third. As the character's confusion goes down, so too goes his acting chops.
Keep up the great show, Dennis.

Let this be a lesson to all good people who wish to serve their country in office. This country is not run by good people.

John Kerry is funny in a manner reminiscent of Genghis Kahn.

Of course the steak knives with "ABC" and DMZ would come with some small cups for Kool Aid, right? (And I guess a match?)

PS The Drunk Ed McMahon bit today with Johnny, especially with the actual tape, could not have been more funny. Especially with you guys giggling thru the whole thang! Loved it.

If you're looking for appropriate gift items for the online store, I think you need a set of steak knives emblazened with ABC on one side and DMZ on the other. Sorta fits in with the show, don't ya think?

Dennis, the hidden "Logan's Run Clause" in the President's health care plan is what makes it affordable.

Christian should try to book the terrorists that are in Bermuda. How are they doing? What do they think of the police with the funny looking hats on their heads? Do they wrap Bermuda Shorts around their heads?

Hey Dennis, I just got through watching Glenn Beck's colorful description of ACORN's dastardly deeds on O'Reilly using Ken and Barbie dolls. Next time you're on, can you show us the problems in Iran using Tickle Me Elmo and GI Joe? It would be most descriptive. Thanks!

Imagine discussing Bill Buckley and Robin Williams in the same interview!
Not long ago, you indicated that you might have Chris Buckley on the show to discuss his new book about his parents. As a life-long Bill Buckley fan, I hope that you do.
I also hope that you will mention how your friend, Robin Williams, used to do a classic Bill Buckley parody on SNL back in the day.
Go give 'em hell, Dennis, and don't forget to treat yourself to a Whataburger while you're there!
