1/29-DONALD TRUMP PUTS THAT OTHER GUY, KIND MIDAS, TO SHAME. ALL MIDAS HAD WAS MONEY. TRUMP TOOK A GIANT STEP IN THE DIRECTION OF THE THRONE LAST NIGHT JUST BY NOT SHOWING UP!



Barry wonders if any “genie” popping out of any bottle in history could possibly assemble a better deal than the one that’s now fallen upon Barry without even the necessity of rubbing the bottle the right way or making a wish.  Everybody in his and Sara’s combined families look well, feel well and have doctors’ agreement to back it up.  The last debate before the real voting begins is now behind us and as his radio guest, former New York State CONGRESSMAN JOHN LeBOUTILLIER,currently co-star of Fox News’ fabled “POLITICAL INSIDERS” for the ENTIRE HOUR.  The beverages are chilled and the steak dinner later on consists of grass-fed beef, not the louder-touted but less tasty “corn-fed” alternative. Barry admits he’s too weak in the fiction department to come up with any notion of what could possibly lend itself to improvement!

1/27-CAN YOU BELIEVE ALL THIS PERPETUAL VOTING IT TAKEN CARE OF IN THE “MOTHER COUNTRY” WITHIN EIGHT WEEKENDS!



So many people are so wound up with the election in which FINALLY the initia  will be cast it’s impossible to believe the time has finally dawned.  No more “polls”, (Well, maybe a few thousand or so!) but at last we off and running voting and getting real.  America’s pre-eminent folk lorist and historian DR. ROBERT RODRIGUEZ visits with Sara and Barry to pinch each other an try to determine if it’s all real, or just another secluded corner of an old worn-out dream.  Dr. Rodriguez visits with Sara and Barry this evening.

1/26-IF SPORTS WERE AS BEDEVILLING AS POLITICS AS POLITICS, WE MIGHT NOT HAVE A SUPERBOWL THIS YEAR. OR IT MIGHT HIT US WAY BACK WHERE NOBODY NOTICES.



Be glad this is all politics and not physics.  If the inexorable dynamic mess of the Democrats were ever to approach and collide with the inexorable mess of the Republicans it might be the end of the world.  At moments like this Barry says he doesn’t seek the wisdom of the elders.  He seeks the wisdom of the younger!  Rising young conservative star JOSH BERNSTEIN once again makes a house for the edification of Sara, Barry and hordes of equally confused listeners.  Bernstein visits with Sara and Barry this evening.

1/25-IF YOU’RE A NEW LISTENER, WHEN O’SULLIVAN GETS STARTED BARRY WILL HELP YOU DETERMINE WHERE AND WHEN TO DUCK!



Here’s how friends do it.  Barry invited attorney DON O’SULLIVAN to join him on the air this evening.  Don accepted, but warned Barry that if he got anywhere near a live microphone feeling like he does about the GOP establishment he was going to raise hell and put a chunk under it.  Don was more specific and he wanted to warn his friend of four decades that he had no intention of behaving like a polite little guest on a polite little radio show.  Barry thanked Don for the warning and let loose a  victory yell now that he was assured in advance of having a keg of dynamite to ignite in public.  Don visits with Sara and Barry this evening.

1/21-ANYONE WHO ISN’T THOROUGHLY CONFUSED BY THE NOMINATING PROCESS IN BOTH PARTIES ISN’T WELL-INFORMED!



All of you who are paying attention are being rewarded with a slow-motion performance of the biggest and most confusing political upset in American political history.  Sen. Bernie Sanders before our disbelieving eyes is pitching the Democratic Party into panic and the Republican race isn’t a whit less exciting or impossible to believe.  Sara and Barry try to outguess each other as to the two outcomes.

1/19-REPUBLICANS ARE DOING THEIR BEST TO HELP BERNIE SANDERS OVERCOME HILLARY CLINTON’S LEAD AND UPSET HER IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU’RE DOING IN THAT LAB, DR. FRANKENSTEIN!



The wise men tell us it won’t hurt Hillary so much if she loses Iowa and New Hampshire to Sen. Bernie Sanders because Hillary has what the wise men call a “fire-wall” of black and Latino voters in the southern states that will easily carry her through.  The wise men may turn out to be the wise guys.  We may never have seen a “dream walking”, but with Sanders surging we may all soon see a firewall fizzle.  Former New York CONGRESSMAN JOHN LeBOUTILLIER visits with Sara and Barry this evening.
