My Interests

Politics, politics and politics. If more people made this their main interest, or even paid more attention to their electoral process, this country wouldn't be facing many of the challenges it currently is.

I'd like to meet:


These 2 clips feature the inimitable Keith Olbermann at his best. Both fall into the "must see" category. Seriously.

Music:

Classical music is a favorite. Close second is strong rock ala Loverboy, Bon Jovi, Robert Palmer, Boston, John Fogerty, Rod Stewart, John Mellancamp, Van Halen, Elton John, and of course, The Beatles.

Movies:

Any kind of any genre of film, so long as it's done well.

Television:

Nothing but news, baby. One television set in the studio never leaves CNN, the other flips between FOX News (FAUX Noise) and MSNBC.

Books:

We read a lot of books, as we interview many authors on the show, and because our radio show is political in nature, most of the books we read (and guests we interview) are political in nature as well.

Heroes:

JFK, MLK, RFK, Russ Feingold, Cindy Sheehan, every single soldier who has been put in harm's way via George W. Bush's Iraq lies, Bill Clinton (the last legitimately elected President of this country), Jimmy Carter, Bill Maher, Arianna Huffington, Terry McAuliffe, Warren Buffet, Sir Richard Branson and Keith Olbermann.
