For those who don't listen to Hugh, give him a shot. You'll need the real player to listen through the net and i've attached the link below. Hes a big supporter of Free Republic.
Hugh is so on the money on this whole mess and is excellent on military matters.
And if you listen carefully you sometimes catch celebrity song writers from Upland named Doug. :>)
Todays topic is "How has the country changed"

Nice call, Hugh
ABC can't can his butt soon enough to suit me.
I'm flying to Cincinnati on Sunday and believe me, anyone tries anything thats exactly what I'll be doing.
With our young servicemen preparing to risk their lives in the Middle East, how can i rationalize being afraid to fly on a stupid airplane??
Thank you to our friends, the Brits. A true ally. Oh, Canada and Israel too.
God Save the Queen
First, before the attack on the nation, I had penned a column for a Southern California magazine on the merits of the Los Angeles and Orange Counties as the host for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. I had intended to write on the same theme for this column. There were good reasons to prefer LA and environs to other communities bidding to host the games: Tampa Bay, Cincinnati, Boston, Houston, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and New York City.(Click link for remainder of article.)Now it seems obvious to me that all of these cities ought to withdraw in favor of New York, a rallying to the community most terribly wounded. Washington was struck, and California was home to many victims, but "ground zero" is in Manhattan and it seems obvious to me that all of the country should rally to that citys side. An Olympics in New York in a decade could celebrate the recovery, of course, but it would also be civilization's vast rebuke to barbarism.
Another obvious thought concerns Mayor Rudy Giuliani. His term will end soon, and as a government of laws and not of men, we should not hear serious talk about changing the rules of mayoral contests to keep him in the job even though he has been magnificent. The talk of various czardoms is also off the mark, as interagency efforts inevitably bog down. It seems obvious that Central Intelligence Agency Director George J. Tenet must be replaced because the failure to detect the attack on Tuesday, while not his personal failure must be assessed against the CIA and the FBI. The bureau's excellent men and women have a new leader. The agency's excellent men and women would benefit from a new leader as well. Who better than Rudy? A former U.S. Attorney for New Yorks Southern District and a former Associate Attorney General at main Justice, Giuliani has the credentials and, crucially, would enjoy the confidence of the public. That is needed right now. The confirmation process could conclude just as his service as mayor concludes his service.
Is there a link for G Gordon Liddy?
