12/30- YOU THINK THE BALL-DROP IS COMPUTERIZED AND PRECISE; DON'T YOU?

You hate media figures whose carelessness clues in young children to the truth about Santa Claus? Sara and Barry hit a little harder than that this evening as, among other delight of this year-end broadcast, Barry reveals what it was like watching the New Year's Eve ball drop from the roof of 1 Times Square -- the drop-zone building itself.

12/29--NOT SINCE VIET NAME -- WORLD WAR II, REALLY -- HAS THE MILITARY SPOTLIGHT NARROWED ON THE U.S. NAVY AS CLOSLY AS TODAY!

U. S. Navy Admiral (Ret.) JOSEPH CALLO tells Sara and Barry the size and scope of the Navy's challenge if Iran decides to go ahead and close the Straits of Hormuz. By the way, did any of you have to take orders from sergeants who had comic books sticking out of their back pockets? Admiral Joseph Callo is the author of six books!

12/28-WHICH THREAT TO AMERICA IS IN THE LEAD; POLITICAL CORRECTNESS OR IGNORANCE?

Sara and Barry will take a few amusing detours this evening but one fixed and firm focus will be on what the MSM is leaving out when they cover Iran's threat to close the Straits of Hormuz.

12/27-IS MEDIA INSULTING US BY MANUFACTURING THINGS LIKE IOWA DRAMA?

Did you ever feel guilty hyping something as small as an ice cream cone or a movie to a child and, in circus-barker mode, making him think you just gave him the deed to Tiffany? In addition to the normal candidate handicapping, that's one question Sara and Barry will put to former New York Congressman JOHN LeBOUTILLIER this evening.

12/26-Encore Broadcast IT'S HARD TO STAND UP STRAIGHT WITH 100 CONGRESSMEN IN YOUR BACK POCKET.

It's always exciting when the crook, the enemy spy, the villain suddenly turns and decides to cooperate with the good guys. The greatest "turn" of all time may well be post-prison JACK ABRAMOFF. Abramoff's revelations of Congressional greed and how unscrupulous lobbyists like he was exploit it. Lobbyists are turning Washington into a perpetual political earthquake zone. Sara and Barry learn more in their hour with Mr. Abramoff.

12/23-CHRISTMAS NEEDS MORE STORY-TELLERS LIKE BOB RODRIGUEZ!

Talk radio doesn't call them "encores". Usually there's a rather long period between guest appearances and we just call the"repeat performances"! In the case of folklorist BOB RODRIGUEZ, however, Sara and Barry just couldn't get enough of his stories last Tuesday, so this evening, we'll call it an ENCORE!

12/22-DO THE GOP, GLOBAL WARMING AND AMERICAN CIVILIZATION MAKE A NOISE WHEN THEY EXPLODE?

The biggest news story of the day may appear to be the Republican "surrender" on the payroll tax flap. Sara and Barry choose to go with two stories they consider more important; namely, the collapse of the Global Warming "scam" and the collapse of civilization, beginnng with rural California. Both stories brought to us by writer-professor-scientist-inventor ADRIAN VANCE.

12/21- THE ONLY NORTH KOREAN VETERAN TO BECOME AN AMERICAN CITIZEN SPEAKS OUT.

Sara and Barry bring on the only veteran of the North Korean Communist Army that invaded South Korea in 1950. He's ZANG GI HONG and Sara and Barry in no way seek to preen and razz the news channels as a result of such a scoop. After Mr. Zang's analysis of what's going on in his forbidden homeland, Barry will reveal how Mr. Zang became a Cold War celebrity by travelling farther to escape Communism than anyone else in history and how Barry met him in Vienna when Zang escaped Communist Hungary and made it possible for him to come to America.

12/20-HE HAS NO SIGHT, BUT, MAN, WHAT VISION!

Sara and Barry have a guarantee for you. As you hear their super-knowledgeble and super-cheerful, folkist-guest ROBERT RODRIGUEZ regale one and all with stories, jokes, songs and legends from around the world, you will be totally incapable of believing he's been totally blind since birth!

12/19-UNWRAPPING THE PLANET'S MYSTERY PRESENT: A NEW BOSS IN NORTH KOREA!

Sara and Barry invite former New York Congressman JOHN LeBOUTILLIER to extend his reach beyond the usual Iowa-New Hampshire-South Carolina to include North Korea.

12/16-COME WALLOW WITH US IN THE WAKE OF THE REALLY, REALLY BIG DEBATE!

Sara and Barry agree they may have been "over-rejecting" wallowing around after GOP debates to argue who did how and why. Both are journalists. Both are sworn to avoid "cliche". And when literally everybody else is doing it, that's a cliche! However, a little wallowing may be in order after the Fox Sioux City debate. Not the whole hour. Just a little wallowing.

12/15- A GREAT DAY IN THE LIFE OF A MEMBER OF THE GREATEST GENERATION!

You may think Barry's opening story is a tribute to his beloved Uncle Al, who died yesterday well up in his 90s. Not exactly, Barry promises to dash over Al's World War II service quickly and tell of an experience that -- fair warning -- may change listeners' view of sexual harassment -- males hitting on females -- forever.

12/14- "I'M BORED. WANNA GO CHASE THE MAN-EATING SQUID ACROSS THE MIN

Barry's idea of adventure is crossing the Mason-Dixon Line, but some of his best friends are big-time adventurers, none more so than FROSTY WOOLDRIDGE, author of "How To Live a Life of Adventure". Sara and Barry will pepper Frosty with adoring AND challenging questions without engendering a saccharine OR a hostile environment.

12/13- WHAT IF WE GLOBAL WARMERS ARE LIARS. AIN'T WE GOT A RIGHT TO BE SENSITIVE ABOUT IT?

Just as the sexy blonde can divert attention from the wise old sage, all the noise from the GOP race is obscuring the highly important fact that so-called "Global Warming" and its supposedly-less-controversial little brother "Climate Change" are coming apart like an Alka-Seltzer tablet under Niagara Falls! Two preview fact-lets: Britain's Sir David Attenborough is DEFENDING the BBC's use of fake polar bear footage and citizens of this American "Land of the Free" owe thanks for scientific revelation to PAGE ONE OF THE LEADING NEWSPAPER IN COMMUNIST CHINA! Sara and Barry welcome writer-professor-scientist-inventor ADRIAN VANCE for cutting-edge coverage.

12/12-IS YOUR CANDIDATE'S SCALP NAILED TO LeBOUTILLIER'S GAME-ROOM WALL?

Sara and Barry get an up-to-the-instant review of the GOP race including, not just the candidates, but the debate moderators, Diane Sawyer and George Stephanoupoulos from former New York Representative JOHN LeBOUTILLIER. If you like "nice", then on this show you shouldn't depend. LeBoutillier can be withering!

12/9- (Quoting a female soldier with purple fingernails in basic training) "Sarge, do I have to carry this sticky thing?" (She meant her bayonet!)

Many years ago Barry read a hilarious article in the Reader's Digest by a highly educated woman who joined the Army and found a few things missing, lacking, maybe askew in America's fitness to fight. Her name is KATE O'NEILL and she's still fighting for a more effective military and this evening tells Sara and Barry all about it.


(Quoting a female soldier with purple fingernails in basic training) "Sarge, do I have to carry this 'sticky' thing?" (She meant her bayonet!)

12/8- COULD OBAMA EVER BE THIS ANTI-OBAMA?

Those who oppose the re-election of President Obama got a jolt when they saw the title of DR. DON BOYS latest column was "Obama Can Win With This Speech in 2012!" They needn't have feared. Obama would go into cardiac conniptions if he were to touch the paper Dr. Boys's speech was written on. Sara and Barry nonetheless reveal the magic words Dr. Boys says Obama should use.

12/7- OK, SO YOU REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR. DO YOU REMEMBER THE SONG?

For, perhaps, the first time in broadcast history, Barry will be a guest on his own show! After a tough serious deliberations in which Barry asked Sara who can we get who remembers Pearl Harbor who won't clam up on radio, it dawned on them that the only one they knew with those qualifications was Barry himself.

12/6-TURNING THE LIGHTS ON LABOR!

You get no more points in football if you keep running after you've already crossed the goal line. DAVE BEGO can't quit running, however, and his score against Big Labor continues to rise. After successfully overcoming union intimidation and outright thuggery in their attempt to unionize Dave's national office cleaning service -- Executive Management Services -- Bego has mounted an ongoing campaign to expose union tactics and encourage and embolden more businessmen like himself to stand up and fight back.

12/5- WHILE WE'RE AT IT, JOHN; WHO LOST EGYPT?

It may be shocking for legislators to allow lobbyists to write bills for them, but it feels absolutely fine allowing a legislator to write questions for a talk show. Here's what's on former New York Congressman JOHN LeBOUTILLIER's mind as he sits with Sara and Barry this evening: Will Newt displace Mitt? Will Newt implode BEFORE or AFTER he gets the nomination? Is the economy REALLY improving? Is Europe's economy holding and molding Obama's re-election chances?

12/2-HAVE I TOLD YOU LATELY ABOUT WHAT I DID IN 1959?

It may have been the best magazine cartoon in history. It showed a gaggle of penguins on an Antarctic ice cap; all decked out in their "tuxedoes", which is what all penguins wear. All except one! One penguin who drew a curious crowd of other penguins wore a natty beret, sun-glasses, gold chain, checkered vest and draped pants. In his mouth was a long, rhinestone-studded cigarette holder. The caption was, "I just got tired of being so damned formal all the time!" Barry got tired of being married -- NOT to Sara -- but to the headlines of the moment. In this episode, Barry seeks to prove you can wander far from page one and still attract a "curious gaggle".

12/1-LEFTIST ANTI-COMMUNISTS ARE THE BEST KIND. THEY GET THE TOUGHEST WORKOUTS FROM THEIR FRIENDS.

Can you imagine how you'd feel it you looked at your change and found a fifty-cent piece from the 1930s? Sara and Barry deliver another rarity; a self-described "anti-Communist leftist"! JOHN KOROLY, social commentator and critic, is a member of the Socialist Party of America with some keen, refreshing views on the upcoming Presidential election.
