As a Christian I'm always offended by ads that mock the Adam and Eve event in the Bible.

You should get Chris Hedges on your show

[MaudsPas]

Why are people who don't support the Iraq War or war in general mocked and or demonized. Why didn't fox mention that sports wouldn't exists without government subsidies? They have one goal; maximize corporate profits at anyone's expense

Wanna hear something ironic vis-a-vis the Marines being against the repeal of DADT?

Here it is:

A VA Psychologist says that, of the (surprisingly) many cases of trauma due to man(men)-on-man rape that he deals with, the vast majority come from former Marines.

Very good interview. Mr. Zirin has a unique perspective. Please have him on again.
