On Tuesday’s Radio Show…
• Joe Lieberman says Barack Obama doesn’t put his country first. Alan responds.
• Is slavery still practiced in today’s America? John Bowe, author of Nobodies, shares the shocking truth about modern-day slave labor.
• Can you be both fit and FAT? A new study claims you can, but is it true? Call Alan and weigh in.









Fit and fat? Only thing I’ve read is that you’re better off fat and well-exercised than skinny and sedentary.

Fit and fat? That should attract half of the USA to listen to the show tonight.I wonder if also I can have twenty Hostess cakes a day and be in good shape?
August 12th, 2008 at 6:49 pm
I hope to all hope that he doesn’t have that skinny blond that’s always on Fox on about this…..she thinks Santa needs to go on a diet cause it’s sending a bad signal to our kids!!! Not what the parents put in the house for food, santa! Well she blames the parents too
August 12th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
You CAN be fit and fat? You can also lose weight eating nothing but Oreo cookies and ice cream? I’ll get rich buying lottery tickets at the Quick Trip?
Before he questions BO’s loyalty, someone should ask Joe which country he puts first. I’d ask him but someone would call me bad names, because that’s not a question all of us can ask and get away with it.
Modern day slave labor, and the never ending search for fresh bodies, is the fuel of modern capitalism. Yesterday, Mexico. Today, China. Tomorrow, Africa? Why does Mr. Bowe hate America?
[I've been heavy (230-lbs) and I've been not heavy (170-lbs and a regular runner). I recommend the not heavy condition. Forget being fit and fat. You can only be really fit if you're not fat.]

Joe Lieberman is being divisive. If his message is “America First” then why did he say “We” instead of America? Lieberman said, “That’s what we need.” He should have argued, “That’s what America needs.” Lieberman is the most selfish politician in all of Congress. He can’t speak for America or either Party.
August 12th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
So I take it Chong is not on? Alan.com lists him as being on, but he’s not mentioned here.
August 12th, 2008 at 10:03 pm
Also, where’s Suskind?
August 12th, 2008 at 10:09 pm
what’s with the call screener guy????
August 12th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
The call screeners are out to get him. They’re going to screen his face of like a cheese shredder.
August 12th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
I think he’s drunk
August 12th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
Off that is.
August 12th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
This guy annoys me, but I have to be PC
August 12th, 2008 at 10:15 pm
Who?
August 12th, 2008 at 10:16 pm
Hannity and Corsi really got to you tonight huh Alan?
August 12th, 2008 at 10:16 pm
Ron in Florida
August 12th, 2008 at 10:16 pm
Oh. Well, Ron’s a nice guy, but it would be nice if he would do more than tell Alan his schedule and personal issues.
August 12th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
True, but he’s not playing with a full deck and he’s whiny and by this time of day I don’t want whining.
August 12th, 2008 at 10:20 pm
Yes, I’ve been calling them the 21st century slaves….or indentured servants your choice, for over a year now.
August 12th, 2008 at 10:23 pm
I can think of worse callers, though.
August 12th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
Saipan? Slavery?
Jack Abramoff and Tom Delay and Ralph Reed!! That was part of their scandal!! The Saipan sex/clothing slaves, imported from China.
August 12th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
The Jack Abramoff CNMI scandal:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Abramoff_CNMI_scandal
These people have no shame.
August 12th, 2008 at 10:53 pm
I don’t quite understand the fit and fat thing; they do not correlate. Certainly thin people can have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc. but if a person is overweight how can that person be fit?
August 12th, 2008 at 10:57 pm
Where is the PIC PICK? I thought that was going to be a regular feature. It’s the best thing since radio graffiti.
August 12th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
How did trader Joe lose the primary and still manage to win the election? Seems like the voters in CT. dropped the ball.
August 12th, 2008 at 11:09 pm
John the trucker: a legend in his own mind.
August 12th, 2008 at 11:28 pm
Low wage jobs, lacking illegal immigrants to fill them, would be filled by people at higher wages or the work would be mechanized.
That’s been the history of working America since the first Europeans landed here. It’s supply-demand economics.
Cotton harvest is a good example. One man can now do, with machinery, what was once done by hundreds of people by hand at 3 cents/lb. Better yet, machine harvested cotton is of better quality than hand picked.
August 12th, 2008 at 11:35 pm
Walmart’s reported profit margin is 3%, not 18.
August 12th, 2008 at 11:52 pm
Tell Alan to stop playing with the keyboard during the show. The tap, tap, tap is annoying!
August 13th, 2008 at 12:15 am
Why should Barack HUSSEIN Obama put “his” country first? He can’t because he’s a MUSLIM, once born a MUSLIM always a MUSLIM!! If he ever tried to convert to any other faith under “SHARIYA LAW” he would be stoned until dead (not stoned as he was smoking weed and snorting coke). On those self aggrandizing trips to MUSIM countries in Africa he knew he was safe from this aforementioned penalty because he never changed his faith. I’m sure once elected he order installed on every public bldg speakers to announce the MUSLIM CALL TO PRAYER as in most of the Islamic world, He’ll use freedom of religion to advance this ideology just as the Ravenous Hasidic Jews have in Brooklyn NY with their noise polluting sirens that NYC fails to silence while pandering to it’s Jew puppeteers. I just wonder if HUSSEINS wife, Michele (if that’s her real name) still has her clitoris, I wonder if he has subjected the pickaninnys he sired to the same fate as the majority of women in the MUSLIM world, a “surgical procedure” with a rusty razor blade or piece of glass that is used to remove the “pleasure organ” so that they will be forever subservient to their respective husbands.
August 13th, 2008 at 12:19 am
Did you hear me? I called. I’m the one that called about the story out of Rome, Italy and the related problem of Ukrainian women being forced into sexual slavery.
Cheryl and E., you both had better have been listening.
August 13th, 2008 at 12:21 am
Alan, you may express your excitement on air.
August 13th, 2008 at 12:21 am
PIC PICK PIC PICK PIC PICK…everybody PIC PICK PIC PICK PIC PICK
oh and call on your elected oficials to FOLLOW THE MONEY AND EXPOSE THE WAR PROFITEERS!
August 13th, 2008 at 12:24 am
I hope I was coherent.
August 13th, 2008 at 12:31 am
I’ll try to find the story based in Rome later.
August 13th, 2008 at 12:39 am
wahhh!! where are the comments of support?
sniff.
August 13th, 2008 at 12:44 am
Nice work, WFG!! Wipe those sniffles away!!
It takes a lot of nerve to call in and speak in front of the MILLIONS and MILLIONS of people all over the world who are listening in to the Colmes show.
August 13th, 2008 at 12:51 am
Yay!
August 13th, 2008 at 12:53 am
Great or great-great maternal grandparents were Ukrainian/Russian born. Alan mentioned Ukrainian ancestry a while back.
August 13th, 2008 at 12:55 am
I can’t find the blasted story.
August 13th, 2008 at 3:33 am
Ok. This might be it.

If so, it seems the woman I mentioned was not a domestic servant, as I said in my caller.
“Elizabeth, a 20-year-old West African, believed she was coming to Europe to study medicine on a scholarship. Instead she was forced into prostitution on a Rome street.”
August 13th, 2008 at 3:50 am
Am a black guy from west Africa and will like to offer my advice to Americans and those eligible to vote.The greatest mistake you could make is vote for the so called obama, a shrewed and naive politician who only thinks of being a president with any clear cut agenda. Those of us in Africa has seen so many of his like in politics, they are nothing by social scavengers and nation wreckers.Having a blcak president is not a solution to America’s problems. The position that america occupies in the world demand a mature and perceptive leadership not empty rhetoric of HUSSEIM OBAMA. His understanding of basic economics is so flawed that a first year economic student in an african university can easily overwhelm him; he gas little appreciation for how international politics that his presidency could cause years to repair. IF YOU THINK BUSH IS WORSE THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE THAT ROOKIE CALLED OBAMA
