• Gay rights activist Wayne Besen joins Alan to discuss President Obama’s decision granting benefits to same-sex partners of federal employees.

• Alan talks with Rod Blagojevich about the former Illinois governor’s efforts to reinvent his image.

• Think you can survive the cut? It’s Sudden Death Radio!

  1. Alan said “RAT’S ASS”!

  2. All right, Sudden Death Radio! That’ll be worth tuning into just to hear Frederick from Aurora get cut off as soon as he opens his mouth!
    (Besides, Alan & Joel & Aimee air a lot more callers and a lot more points get stated in the same amount of time between commercials that way.)

  3. You pronounce the first A in Nevada like the A in ACT!

  4. “The Second City comedy troupe has a huge success with its biting stage show ‘Rod Blagojevich Superstar’, and Blagojevich himself joined Saturday’s performance. He opened the show standing on a chair, his arms outstretched as if crucified, and then helped with some improv afterward…Blagojevich also has become a staple on a Chicago morning radio show, alternately attacking his political enemies and discussing his wife’s performance on reality TV. He’s no stranger to bigger shows like ‘Larry King Live’ and ‘Today’, either.”
    –from the article found by the clink-on link in Joel’s above post.

    Silly, shallow me! When I read “Alan talks with Rod Blagojevich about the former Illinois governor’s efforts to reinvent his image”, the FIRST THING I thought was, “Does that mean he’s gonna do something about that hair?”

    (Then I realized that I was just jealous ’cause I wish I still had that much hair! Seriously, Mr. Blagojevich, ALTHOUGH YOU’VE GOT A DEFINITE SENSE OF HUMOR, you could be a right-wing televangelist with THAT kind of hair. Consider joining the Republican party, PLEASE!)

    Great show tonight, Alan, VERY ENTERTAINING!

  5. If you Google “halliburton detention centers”, you get some interesting hits.

    Your caller was talking about this “Halliburton Subsidiary Gets Contract to Add Temporary Immigration Detention Centers” NYT article from 2006 …

    http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/04/national/04halliburton.html

    … old news.

    The magic of the internet turned the story into – “Halliburton Detention Camps For Political Subversives” and “American Prison Camps Are on the Way”.

    Funny stuff.
