I love old radio shows, and have probably a thousand hours or more of them on disc, tape, or record. Why? Because unlike TV, they require one’s imagination to be fully operational. Listening to a radio show, one can imagine the detective breaking into a home, a car crash, Jack Benny driving his butler Rochester […]

(I’ve been writing columns for many years before I began placing them on a web site. Every once in a while, I am going to print one of them, this time from November 8, 1993)  On the “60 Minutes” show of November 7 1993, CBS showed a piece glorifying a temporarily jailed monster, due to […]

The economic decline continues, and nothing CNBC can do with all their fake “news” and bright commentators will help. Helicopter Ben, I am sure, stays awake at night, worrying about what his predecessor got him into…while his predecessor takes his morning bubble bath.
