1pm EST Joining Howard on Segment 2 will be Ann Coulter! And now the discussion continues here on another great show for "MOVE AMERICA FORWARD"!
2pm EST
Program description on its way!
3pm EST Election recap from a Congressional perspective with Bo Harmon from the NRCC. Special guests will provide rare insights into politics and the media!
4pm EST "Anti-Christmas Movement II & III" with a former Hitler's Youth and Soldier. What was Christmas like in Nazi Germany with the Gestapo writing down the names of those who went to church? Why should we be very concerned that schools are pulling references to Christmas from their plays and classrooms and rewriting Christmas songs; and that our U.S. Speaker of the House called our national Christmas tree the "people's tree" this year?
The peoples tree? So what`s next, re-naming Christmas to "people tree day"? Maybe Easter can be "Egg day".
I can`t believe Ann was a Grateful Dead fan. I saw another picture of her at a concert and I couldn`t believe it. I went to one years ago and it was the most incredibly boring thing I ever experienced in my entire life. It was like watching oil paint dry while listening to elevator music, it just went on and on and on and on and on and I couldn`t leave because I made the mistake of going with a bunch of co-workers, one of who drove me. "Yeah man, the Dead rule man". I then realized why they have that name, because if I was dead I would be grateful that the torture ended. Now I know why the audience does so much drugs. I don`t know what Anns reason is, maybe she likes to be slowly tortured by extreme boredom.

Howard's having a lot of fun pushing this UN issue... you can here it in his voice. He and Melanie really believes in the possibility of making changes at the UN and they have made that clear to us over and over (at MAF).
Howard is webcasting on location, at Hillsdale College. We had some problems with his codec working there, so we're switching him to a regular phone line.
Everyone has their own tastes. FWIW, I've seen the Dead about 200 times. But then I grew up in their neighborhood and shared many other things....
200 times!!!???? You must be a masochist!
How many brain cells is that?
LOL!
I hated the grateful dead.
When Jerry Garcia died, one guy at work left in tears, we laughed at him, we asked why he was cring, he said Jerry Garcia died...we went ALL RIGHT!
It was ecstacy. And I don't criticize others for their tastes. To each his own.
Best regards.
There are two comments for the Dead.
1.) After Jerry Garcia spends about 20,000, how can his tone be that bad?
2.) Why don't you give it up? You guys are a pale immitation of the Allman Brothers.
"Program description on its way!
C'mon guys . . . don't write like you went to a public school. . . Write "Program description on its way!"
Is it that hard to get that right?????????

You know which song was the best Grateful Dead song?
The short one.
An old joke but true, the shorter the better.
Jerry Garcia wasn't what was wrong with the Grateful Dead. He had enormous talent but his loyalty to bandmates compromised quality. Phil Lesh couldn't play bass and Bob Weir's playing, songwriting and stage presence were painful to experience.
The album Without A Net with Marsalis was wonderful.
Well I never examined the Grateful Dead in detail, but I`ll tell you this... When I saw them it was like listening to a bad lounge act for four hours, you know, the kind of band that plays Chuck Berry songs light weight while you eat hor-dourves at a Holiday Inn? I was half expecting Bill Murray to come out at any second "Any requests anyone? How about Johnny B Good? Come on, you there in the front row, sing with me!" Just a totally corny garage band/ lounge act, and it just went on forever and ever and ever. I actually spent the entire 4 hours just walking around the place getting in peoples faces trying to understand the attraction to sheer boredom; "Snap out it! They suck! The King wears no clothes! You`ve been brainwashed! By God, snap out of it man!" Then everyone goes crazy when they play the song Casey Jones. Yeah ok, so I`ve already heard it 10 billion times on the commerical radio, what`s another 10 billion times? Driving my train high on Cocaine, Casey Jones you better watch your speed. Oh that is so brilliant, why don`t they scream like Russell Crowe "Are you not entertained?" while they play it? Or maybe they can hand out ping pong ball paddles and let us all slap ourselves silly over the head while we go "Beedee beeedee beeedee beeedee" with our mouth and finger.
