"Professional Pols" or "The Public" — Who's Smarter? Tim Cavanaugh Talks With Jerry Doyle, 1:30PM Pacific
Give a listen as Our Leader explains how the American people don't really understand the concept of borrowing money:
It's too late to ask the obvious followup question: "Then why are we allowed to vote?" But there's still time to hear Reason Senior Editor Tim Cavanaugh speak up for the 69 percent of voters who don't want to raise the debt ceiling on the Jerry Doyle radio show at 1:30 PM Pacific Time today (4:30 PM Eastern).
Possible topics:
Is going broke too important to be left to citizens, like President Obama says?
If the President violates the Constitution, but the Republicans want him to, will anybody hear a tree fall in the National Forest even though it's closed for lack of funding?
Does anybody warning about the debt-limit impasse today remember that we had one of these hyperpocalyptic catastrogeddons back in 1995, and it didn't cause any problems at all? Are we taking crazy pills?
And the score on correct QE3 predictions is: Cavanaugh 1, Suderman 0. Time for an end-zone dance? Time to buy silver? Time to start betting on QE4? (Actually, that probably won't be a topic, but Federal Reserve Bank Chairman Ben Bernanke's new QE3 rumblings might be.)
Debtors, creditors, taxers, spenders, Grid Epsilon Irregulars and others are urged to listen in.
Jerry Doyle's show is on 230 radio stations around the country. To find a local station, click here.
To listen live on the interplanetary computerwebs: One station that appears to play the show live is KEXO Talk in the Best Place to Live West of the Rockies, Grand Junction, Colorado. Others with a live cybernautical stream can be found at the link in the previous paragraph.

Misteeerr Garibaldeeeee!!!!
Beat me to it.
I had to break my rule about listening to presidents speak for that one. It did not disappoint.
"Isn't the problem that you and others have failed"... to get spending under control? NOOOOO. ..to convince us that you really need to spend more of our money? Ohh yeah.

Time to buy silver?
Nope. The "bubble" has slid down the periodic table past copper already. It's time to buy lithium.
Like always.
At least the demand for lithium for uses other than hoarding is greater than the supply. Lithium is actually a very useful element, contrast that with gold and you find most gold that has been produced is still in circulation in its original form.
Melt value of a nickel now 6.5 cents!
"Then why are we allowed to vote?"
Because then we chan rig the elections and it will at least look somewhat legit.
wtf, two dennis miller commercials in a row?!
Dennis Miller is going on the link.
http://www.kdwn.com/streamer/ seems to be live. Sounds like Cavanaugh.
hypocritical politicians are hypocritical
Congress is lazy & wants everybody else to do their work unless it involves buying voters.
Was sleeper worth remembering?
It really is Bush term III
Tim is THE senior editor at....
I love how you guys all have high muckety muck titles. Is that something that media producers suggested?
*ahem*
I am anti-title. I think banning titles is the only area where the Constitution improved on the Articles of Confederation. I believe any rank below Earl of Sandwich or Ayatollah of Rockenrollah is beneath notice. I never trusted the von Trapps because how can you be a Navy Captain in a landlocked country? For years I have tried to get the honorific perfesser back into circulation just to combat title inflation. I am so opposed to titles that I rode into town on a horse with no name.
All that having been said, titles are comme il faut, and comme il faut bests all other arguments.
And who made this man a "Captain," might I ask? "Captain," he's a fucking pilot, and let him be happy with that!
Because the Austro-Hungarian Empire was not land-locked.
Thanks for the recap, Joshua. Let me just say that that Obama/McCain echo clip will leave you feeling as stimulated as a county nurse on full disability who's also collecting unemployment and working her way through a gym bag full of prescription meds.
That clip was a beautiful thing. It's like that moment when you're a child and you realize that all McDonalds are the same. Missouri, Florida, California: Same.
Bush was in there too wasn't he? I think the mix was 45% Obama, 35% Bush, 20% McCain, and 100% bullshit.
The debt limit like the back of the refrigerator.
Barry's such a clown. He seems to stopped believing in his own bulls**t about a year ago or so given his half-hearted delivery and silly reasons.
Wow, that is medical grade douchebaggery.
If you are against higher taxes, higher spending and higher debt ceilings, you are for the terrorists.
