If you weren't already uncontrollably furious over the debacle in Libya that led to the death of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other embassy personnel, this is likely to send you over the edge.  From Breitbart News: In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, Fox News military analyst Colonel David Hunt laid the blame for the murder of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans at the Benghazi, Libya American mission on Hillary Clinton and the State Department:"The State Department just allowed our guys to get killed. If you approve no bullets in guns for the mission security guards...

This is the Howie Carr show thread for the week or so surrounding Christmas and New Year's. Howie will be back on air just after New Yr's. If there are any columns I will post them here.

Howie Carr live thread. Howie is on vacation from the radio show this week (Col. Hunt among those filling in) but he has at least one column for us (Sunday Herald; see below). There may not necessarily be a ping every day, but we'll see. Felon update: Tom Finneran hosts WRKO's coverage of the annual St. Patrick's Day breakfast from Halitosis Hall. Corned beef and corny jokes. Plagiarist update: Boston Phoenix says WBUR (Boston Univ.) may hire Mike Barnicle.

Howie Carr live thread for week of Jan 6, 2008 (we will start off with his column from today's Sunday Boston Herald about how Hillary is "so yesterday". For those unfamiliar, Howie is a longtime writer for the Boston Herald and author of "The Brothers Bulger" (cash register rings here)--and, since the early 90s, Boston-based talk radio host. Howie can be heard weekdays 3-7 pm (hours vary depending on station) on WRKO in Boston and several other stations in New England (WRKO, WCRN Worcester, and WNTK in New Hampshire all stream).

Howie Carr live thread. Howie is on vacation this week (in Florida) and supposedly Col. David Hunt will be in for him, all week. We'll let you know if there are any changes...Since Howie's gone all week we will do one ping thread and those on the Howie list will be pinged to it every day.

Howie Carr live thread for July 24-27 (Howie should be off the rest of this week; Col. Hunt was in on Monday and I'm not sure who's doing it after that). Since it's a Not-Howie week, we'll just re-ping list members to this thread every day. Allegedly Robert Novak will be a guest on Thu....oops, now we see it says Avi Nelson will be on Tue. "We'll discuss the youtube debate"...

Howie Carr live thread. note: due to Red Sox game, the first couple hours will be pre-empted on WRKO Boston, WXTK-FM Cape Cod, and WCRN Worcester. This will be the last time during the regular season that WRKO will be carrying a weekday afternoon game (WEEI will carry them from now on during those times and also on Wed. nights...WEEI is also carrying today's game). However any afternoon weekday games will pre-empt Howie on WCRN and WXTK-FM all season long. Well it's not that often ('get away days' sometimes; they'll have a couple night games but then an afternoon start...

WE HAVE A NEW HERO FROM THE O'REILLY SHOW! O'Reilly: Who's gonna say this isn't a war anymore? Col. David Hunt: We can't have Americans being beheaded anymore. We can't have towns like Fallujah. Its time for the bombs to start dropping. O'Reilly: This is a war. I think just about everybody will believe that at this point. Everyone except Ted Kennedy. Col. David Hunt: Who gives a crap about Ted Kennedy! Put him in a boat in Boston harbor and ship him off!!!! MIDI - LOVE HURTS Hey Ted...fat head...oh, what he said Colonel Hunt...quite blunt...drop back and punt...
