Can you believe I’m kicking the sports guy’s butt??

Newt Gingrich is here this morning.  We’ll be asking him about the apparent divide in the Republican party between those who think the party should become more moderate on social issues and those who think the problem with the party is that it’s lost it’s conservative foundation.  What do you think?  What questions do you have for the former Speaker?

And get in your vote for what Dave, Rick, Clayton and I should be for Halloween.  (Did you realize our acronym is DRAC — how apropos for Halloween!)  We’re in the market for a group costume, not four separate themes.  Thoughts?

What on Earth (ok, above Earth) were those two Northwest pilots doing for the hour and 18 minutes that flight controllers couldn’t get ahold of them?  One of the pilots is speaking out this morning.  We’ll  show you?

Let’s talk housework.  Does doing housework pay dividends in the bedroom?  And if you agree with this new survey of 7000 married couples, what”s the link between household chores and marital relations???

New developments this morning in the Balloon Boy story — charges likely to be filed.  The dad says he’ll only take questions via a box he’s passing around to the media.  We’re happy to send him some.  What suggestion would you put in the Henne family’s question  box?  and did anyone notice the problem with OUR suggestion box?

What’s up with Balloon Boy?  Was this a tragedy averted or an elaborate hoax?

And did you catch our feminism debate?  What do you make of the alleged decline in women’s happiness since the 1950’s?

What do you think of the President’s announcement last night that he will repeal the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy?  Is the change necessary in this time of needing more troops?  Or will it somehow change the face of the military?

What kind of car do you drive?  It says a lot about your personality.  We’ll tell you what. 

We have an update for you on the story of Liam McCarty, the 8-year-old boy trapped by the Dept. of  Social Services in Italy.  An important decision on the case will be made by a judge in Rome this week.  To learn more about the case go to www.saveliam.org 

Who loves Los Lonely Boys?  We do.

Hi Everyone,

What’s the best excuse you’ve used to get out of work on a day you weren’t really sick?  Bogus sick days are getting more common…

what do you think of our debate about whether convicted sex offenders who’ve served their time should be allowed to go to church?  what if there’s a sunday school at the church with young children?  There’s a lawsuit brewing in North Carolina about this.

What did you think of our debate about whether people who have good health habits should pay less health insurance than people with bad habits?  Weigh in here.  (and pardon the pun)

And what’s your secret ingredient for the perfect bloody mary?

So the Olympics went to Rio even after the President lobbied for Chicago.  Was it worth the trip?

Jeanine Garofalo’s latest comments.   Thoughts?
