Let me guess...their opinion is that Mr. Nugent did not genuflect properly to our Overlord's majestic presence. We should all be grateful to have such a beneficent master of all our lives...

I'm sorry. Evan needs to be singing Wango Tango during the TribCast.

If Mr. Perry wants to lure businesses from California to Texas, he needs to focus on quality of life issues that will attract the high fliers he wants. People from liberal states like California won't move their companies to a state that has a reputation of bad schools, bad environmental policy and social policies that are unfriendly to their employees. You can lower taxes to nothing (and Texas often does to tempt big employers) but taxes are just one of many considerations. Quality of life counts, too, and no one wants to move to a state where they think their kid's school are under-funded, over-tested and anti-science.

No need to guess, Rob. Listen and hear for yourself.

OK I really tried to listen, and it's frankly not listenable. I can hear too many interjections and laughter and breathing and mouths moving. I listened enough to hear you make fun of Ted Nugent for not having a hit since the 80s and for his colorful use of language that you feel "threatens your interns" but other than the observation that the SOTU is "political theater" I didn't get much from it. Ted Nugent is an NRA board member and he is a vocal opponent of recent Democratic party attempts to gut the US Constitution, which you apparently don't feel is as remarkable as the last time Ted Nugent had a hit on the Top 40 charts.

You can't be a vocal opponent to pretty much anything when you're a proud draft dodger and let's not forget a pedophile

I don't know anything about that. All I do know is that people have the right to oppose ANY politician in power.

Several comments. You made an issue over Ted Nugent being at the SOTU address. Gun owners use guns to defend against criminal attack about 2 and 1/2 million times a year. Why didn't you comment on the fact none of those individuals was invited to the address? Rep Stockman does not have to obtain approval from the left wing lying jackals of our decadent propaganda media for anyone he invites. You spent a great deal of time over Marco Rubio drinking water. You did not address ANY of the significant and truthful statements that me made, because they cannot be refuted. All you giggling morons seem to be capable of is to inform us Rubio drinks water. Your so called news presentation was nothing but giggling unprofessional grabass until you got to Ken Anderson. That case demands legislation criminalizing prosecutorial misconduct. Gov Perry is not "poaching" he is presenting favorable alternatives to businesses who are victimized by the state they are presently located in. What they do is up to them and your unprofessional presentation was appalling. Pseudojournalists like you are why I rely on talk radio and fox news for information.
