UNDERBELLY STORY
It has become a mainstream political perspective to argue that the private sector can always do things more efficiently than government. In all the hoohah about Halliburton and Custer Battles and all the contractors in Iraq, not many people question the basic premise of why it is that private companies are doing all this government work. Sure, we worry about fraud and about waste and about no-bid contracts, but the fact that this work is being contracted-out rather than done by the government itself has become basically accepted. Then you read a story like the airport security boondoggle on the front page of today’s Washington Post...

PET STORY
Love listening to Rachael... but ..
I'm a Northampton resident and have been listening to Rachael for a long time.. I really miss her last show, but at least I get to stream her new one, and now the local station airs it at 9:00 cutting one hour of Springer.. that works for me... Springer did say something so right on yesterday.. "after 911 we should have spent our money on national defense, and then find out why these people want to knock down our buildings and work on fixing that" I guess the repubs would look at that as giving the terrorists therapy.... But that's not what this post is about.... Oh man now I feel bad about my post.. it's show critisism... ouch, but my girlfriend and I listen often and feel the same, so it's just a couple of minor tweaks to a great show.. here we go
I know she loves the Sharp stick comment..It's been apart of her show for a long long time, but it's getting a little stale, and maybe if the german tongue roll was left out...
And Kent Jones Now... Now Now Now... it got old really early in her new show... It's like those bad skits on the later years of Saturday Night Live that were never good or good once and they did it week after week....
Keep up the great work, and lets get back the three hour slot... As much as I like the Springer show, the fact that he did and still does his TV show belittles Air America.. Sure wish Al was on this week to respond the Bush's address
