There has been commentary in the broadcast media that the whole dustup is
the result of something said on a Limbaugh show. Limbaugh's original talk
radio show was "born," more or less, on the back of a 1987 Supreme Court
ruling against the Fiarness Doctrine.

And it was a great day!


There have always been a few liberals in Congress who favor it. They don't
have much support.

I hope not. I do wonder why seriously liberal commentary on other than NPR doesn't seem
to exist though. Is it a case that conservatives like talk radio and liberals are in to
listening to the latest band on their ipods? There has to be a reason since any pool of
consumers will find someone trying to make a buck on providing them with a product.



Congress may not provide oversight during his term but a lot of the

Of course. And they should. He's not likely to jump on the old liberal
chestnuts but he'll need popular support to keep the libs under control.

I sure hope so. The recent thing I heard is that the questionaire for prospective members
of his administration wants to know about firearms ownership. Why?
