    Balko sounds like that actor that played the Anthropology teacher on Saved by the Bell: The College Years. He's been in a bunch of other things too.

  2. Rimfax   16 years ago

    And it's looking more and more clear that the drug war is hurting the terror war.

    1. BakedPenguin   16 years ago

      Didn't you hear the Unicorned one?

      This is the moment when we must renew our resolve to rout the terrorists who threaten our security in Afghanistan, and the traffickers who sell drugs on your streets.

      It's the same war!

    Sounds to me like somebody has a bit too much spare time on their hands!

    Nice suit, Balko. Looking sharp.

    1. Annie   16 years ago

      I like your suit too Daddy Warbucks

  6. John C. Randolph   16 years ago

    I can't even express how desperately this country needs Andrew Napolitano on the supreme court.

    1. Dr. Hook   16 years ago

      Yeah, he'd get confirmed in a heartbeat.

  7. nobody special   16 years ago

    Is the Judge married to Big Sis? That could almost be a sit-com The Napolitanos

    1. somebody special   16 years ago

      The Sopranos,Jersey Shore and you think we need Andrew Napolitano in The Napolitanos? OTOH, he could play a crooked judge who slaps around his gumba Snooki.

  8. Rhayader   16 years ago

    Great job Radley. And Fox, let's get Judge Napolitano off the web and onto a tv show already.

  9. Pete Eyre   16 years ago

    Solid interview Radley. Keep up the good work!
