RADIO TIDBITS

Slots Bennett seems to have the ear of the military. After having Gen. Petraeus on earlier, today he had Col. Boylan on to talk about the re-enlistments in Iraq. Boylan mentioned that today 588 soldiers had re-upped at a ceremony presided over by Gen. Petraeus. That works out to $8503.40 per soldier. I read that bonuses are skyrocketing and recently hit $1 billion a year.

Huge Ego Hewitt had Prof. Harry Jaffa on to tell lies about the conceptual foundation of America. Jaffa is a leading Straussian and a Distinguished Fellow of the wingnut think tank, the Claremont Institute. He got his bachelor's degree at Yale and his Ph. D. at the New School for Social Research and serves as another rebuttal to the claims by the extreme Right that the universities are inhospitable to conservatives.
