4/30-SORRY. THAT REPORT ON THE JAPANESE BOMBING OF PEARL HARBOR CAME FROM AN UNAPPROVED NEWS SOURCE!
Barry's not going to take it any more! For years now the American media have been drifting into a strange kind of bigotry against big news stories that originate outside "approved" (that means leftist) media. The best example lately is today's story about Andrew Breitbart's medical examiner himself being poisoned to death. Murky. Frightening. Heavy with implications. The story originated on WORLD NET DAILY, right-of-center news site. Barry wants a "trial" here and now. Either the story is false -- or real. The facts should dictate; not the "pedigree" of the source in the eyes of the political opponents of that source. Sara is unlikely to be negative to this particular point of view.

4/23- THANKS FOR THE RING, DEAR,AND THE CAR AND THE MILLION DOLLAR CHECK. WHY DO I STILL WANT A JOB?
THE ARGUMENT THAT NEVER ENDS! Let the friends of women who take care of their children and run their households praise the value of that devotion, occupation, calling and, yes, it even reaches the level of religion. Let them heap compliments on a life spent caring for children in the home. Let them write books and sing songs and throw themselves on the floor in spasms of support for those "home-makers" and "stay-at-home" moms. The moms know, their supporters know, their sisters in the work-place know and their husbands know that -- no matter how righteous and laudable those moms-at-home are, there is nothing that can equal the validifying dignity of a paycheck. DALLAS LOUIS visits Sara and Barry with no hope of ending, but every intention of continuing the heart-felt battle.
4/24-SORRY YOU SHOOT THEM AFTER SHAM TRIALS AND DON'T LET THEM LEAVE OR VOTE, BUT, TELL ME, FIDEL; HOW DID YOU GET TO BE SO MACHO?
After a few centuries now the hard-working psychologists have almost figured out why the children of rich and privileged families are so attracted to the "rough" kids on the other side of the tracks. Sorry to have to send you back into action so soon, but could you now tell us why fortunate citizens of a powerful and prosperous democracy get that same kick rubbing whiskers with murderous dictators like Fidel Castro? Cuban-born "freedom-writer" HUMBERTO FONTOVA give it his best shot. All his shots are either bulls-eyes, or mili-squidgens of a centimeter away.
4/25-CAN THE ARAB SPRING BE REACHING THE FARSI PEOPLE OF IRAN? AND DID YOU SEE "60 Minute's" SHAMELESS ATTACK ON ISRAEL ON SUNDAY, APRIL 22?
One of the Americans most important to the security of Israel is SARA STERN, founder of the Endowment for Middle East Truth and a member of the Executive Committee of the American Jewish Institute. With Israelis living perpetually in the crossfire of the hatred of its Arab neighbors and the threat of nuclear annihilation at the hands of Iran, Stern's experience in the ways and means of Israel's enemies utilize to influence American policy becomes increasingly important. Stern visits Sara and Barry to wire a few recent headlines for sound.
4/26-WHERE IS IT TOUGHEST TO BE A CONSERVATIVE IN AMERICA. DON'T VOTE UNTIL YOU HEAR THOMAS MOYER'S TESTIMONY.
So, you think YOU have hard days! Meet THOMAS MOYER, conservative activist in San Francisco describe plowing through tsunamis of hippie-spit while registering voters in Nancy Pelosi's district. Moyer visits Sara and Barry to reenact his many daily dramas. WHERE IS IT TOUGHEST TO BE A CONSERVATIVE IN AMERICA. DON'T VOTE UNTIL YOU HEAR THOMAS MOYER'S TESTIMONY.
4/27-More and more Barry seems to feel the media and the American people are missing the point; point after point, in fact; and big ones! A particularly big point, in Barry's opinion was missed in the news this week and he and Sara discuss it; followed by a few major points that were NOT missed. "I TOLD YOU SO!" IS NOT THE MOST SATISFYING EXPRESSION. IT'S "YOU ALL MISS THE POINT!"More and more Barry seems to feel the media and the American people are missing the point; point after point, in fact; and big ones!

4/20-LABOR OCCASIONALLY PULLS THE WRONG SOW BY THE EAR. DAVE BEGO TEACHES HOW TO BE THE WRONG SOW.
DAVE BEGO launches what his admirers call "Torpedo Number Two" into the hull of Big Labor. His new book, "The Devil At OUR Doorstep" is a follow-up to his earlier book, "The Devil At My Doorstep" detailing the thug tactics of the powerful SEIU union that frightens many company owners into running up the white flag over company headquarters -- but not Dave Bego! Bego visits Sara and Barry, not to gloat more over his victory over the union, but to try to transfuse his determination into the bloodstream of American ownership and management.

4/19- "OVER THERE" USED TO MEAN WE WERE SENDING LIBERATION TO EUROPE. NOW IT MEANS THEY'RE EXPORTING DESTITUTION TO THE USA.
When singer Al Jolson used to stifle the audience's applause shouting, "You ain't heard NOTHIN' yet!", he meant even more delights were ahead. Today that's a warning that financially-ill Spain and Italy are much, much larger than Greece and Ireland, whose financial woes almost pitched America into depression! Author and uber-enterpreneur DOUG JOHNSON translates the news from Europe into everyday American English for Sara and Barry and offers expert opinion on whether Solyndra, GSA clowning and Secret Service misbehavior mean Obama is a poor manager.

4/18- WHO CARES ABOUT ISRAEL? THERE'S ENOUGH TO HATE RIGHT HERE.
Remember way back when the lead story of the day was TREATED like the lead story of the day. Despite the loss of beloved cultural icon Dick Clark and the unending excitement of Secret Service shenanigans, the importance of Iranian leader Ahmedinajad mobbed and nearly lynched by angry Iranians crying "We are hungry!" cannot be topped. Writer-professor-scientist-inventor ADRIAN VANCE helps Sara and Barry look into that unexpected window in Iran; plus updating the latest from the unsettled and possible unsettable argument over global warming.

4/17- HOW MANY PUNCHES LIKE CARTEGENA PROSTITUTES AND GSA MONEY-BURNING CAN AN ADMINISTRATION TAKE?
Do pollsters ever flat-out lie? In an age of innocence, 1940, GOP presidential candidate Wendell Willkie, told aide Henry Taylor he was interested in this "Gallup Poll" thing and wondered if you could buy yourself a good result. It never went beyond that idle question when polls were new and Willkie's reputation shouldn't suffer one whit. Former New York Congressman JOHN LeBOUTILLIER visits Sara and Barry to deal with the "odd" poll that puts Obama ahead in a race with Mitt Romney and any and all other aspects of the Republican Party race.

4/16- C'MON, ARAB SPRING. GIVE US AT LEAST ONE ARAB DEMOCRACY!
The only thing the world learns is that the world doesn't learn anything. After all the horrors of Hitler and Communism and teenage machete warriors in Africa and narco-murderers in Latin America, the world now watches a Syrian dictator slaughter his own population while Russia and China block UN action and Iran cheers lustily from the sidelines. Intelligence "prodigy" RYAN MAURO, who's been working with the freedom fighters of Syria long before the present uprising began, tells Sara and Barry inside-Syria stories the media often misses.

4/13- IS OBESITY A CONSPIRACY -- AND A MURDEROUS ONE -- AGAINST AMERICA?
He's DOCTOR PHIL; not Oprah's protege, but his first name is Phil and he's a doctor of chiropractic. This Doctor Phil visits Sara and Barry on a mission to fight obesity in America. And he's not a government bureaucrat. He's lost over 200 pounds himself and concedes he's got a long way to go, and he lays out his plan to take as many of you with him as he possibly can.

4/12- CARTER SAYS IT. DIANE SAWYER AND BARBARA WALTERS SAY IT. WHY CAN'T OZZIE?
When Ozzie Guillen, manager of the Miami Marlins baseball team, told Time Magazine he "loved and respected" Fidel Castro he probably didn't stop to realize, according to Cuban-born journalist HUMBERTO FONTANA that virtually everybody within a five-mile radius of Marlin Stadium either had done time or had a close relative who'd done time in one of Castro's dungeons. Not exactly the shrewdest marketing, adds Fontova, who visits Sara and Barry with his own original angle on the "Fidel Firestorm" that Cubans living in American freedom aren't yet calm enough to think about.

4/11- CHINESE ACROBATS GAIN ALTITUDE IN THE MIDDLE OF A JUMP! HOW DO THEY DO THAT?
How do you get five thousand years of Chinese culture to fit on one America stage? Emcee of those five thousand years, LI SHAI makes it seem like an easy fit and visits Sara and Barry to detail how!

4/10- AS RECENTLY AS 1950 THEY WEREN'T CALLED "LIBERALS" AND "CONSERVATIVES". THEY WERE "NORMALS" AND "FREAKS"!
Who invented the potato chip? You probably thought it was always there. Not at all. A chef at Saratoga Springs, N. Y. in the 1800s had a fussy customer who kept sending his meal back because the potatoes were sliced too thick. Finally, chef George Crum thought "I'll fix him!" and sliced it so thin it was just a chip! The customer liked it, as did hundreds of millions of others! You may have thought "conservatism" was always there, too. Again, not at all. Sara and Barry welcome DAVID FRISK, biographer of William Rusher, the true father of what we call "political conservatism", who spotlights his new biography, "If Not Us, Who? William Rusher, National Review and the Conservative Movement."

4/9- WAS NBC CRIMINAL -- OR JUST STUPID?
Not every congressman knows the internal workings of the broadcasting business, but former New York Representative JOHN LeBOUTILLIER is also a broadcaster and fully able to comment meaningfully on NBC's claim that the editing of Zimmerman's 911 call was a "mistake". That won't take too much time to hinder John's horizon-to-horizon coverage of the race for the GOP nomination.

4/6-OKAY, OKAY; LET'S AGREE HUMANS RE NOT GUILTY OF CAUSING GLOBAL WARMING! WILL WARMING DO THE PLANET IN ALL THE SAME?
Sara and Barry welcome the man who lives at the intersection of science and political science; nature and human nature. He's writer-professor-scientist-inventor ADRIAN VANCE and he brings an insightful look at the effect of "warming" even if, as Vance insists, it's not caused by human activity.

4/5- THIS UNCLE REMUS STORY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE, BIGOTRY OR THE OLD PLANTATION.
Anybody in the media unskilled or insensitive enough to make an "Uncle Remus" joke about the current White House deserves all the avalanche of politically correct vengeance that would fall upon him. However, a sober accusation that the White House is playing a political game based on the teachings and tactics of Uncle Remus deserves to be judged on its merits. Sara and Barry lay it out as an opening pearl in the evening's necklace of topic hot and huge.

4/4- WHY DO WE TAKE IT TIME AFTER TIME? BARRY THINKS HE UNDERSTANDS.
Barry makes good on his promise to "explain" why solar company after solar company goes bankrupt, the scourge of illegal aliens escalates, Andrew Breitbart's autopsy report still hasn't surfaced and through outrage after outrage the American people respond with zombified un-concern. Sara will cross-examine as he goes along. Meanwhile, Barry apologizes if his explanation is a bit insulting to the nation.

4/3- FAIR WARNING, AMERICA: IF YOU CAN'T CAN'T CONTROL YOUR BORDERS, HERE WE COME!
This may seem small -- a tornado begins as an insignificant gust of wind -- but it's great news for America. Dennis Michael Lynch came on the SARA AND BARRY SHOW a few evenings ago and previewed his "objective" documentary film which concludes illegal immigration is bad for America and getting worse. Every single Hollywood distributor turned him down. The film was shown in the exclusive, ultra-liberal Hamptons on New York's Long Island last week and got standing applause. That qualifies as a "news" story and veteran star TV news anchor JOHN ROLAND, who plays a role in the film, visits Sara and Barry to detail his experience making and finally screening the documentary, "They Come To America".

4/2- THIS ISN'T YOUR DADDY'S AMERICA. SHOW ME THE HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT!
Great news for America. A group of senior students at a boys' school in Detroit held a demonstration demanding more homework. They say they're entitled to an EDUCATION. When the school officials recovered their sanity, they suspended the students for the remainder of the day. That's just one of the sparkles Sara and Barry will let fly on this evening's edition of THE SARA AND BARRY SHOW.
