Prager H1: That’s the title of a song nominated for Grammy Record of the Year. The lyrics of the song are as deep as the title suggests. Gershwin, Cole Porter, Cee Lo Green. And, so a civilization declines. A FCC commissioner sounds like a Soviet commissar in an interview to BBC. The CT murderer says he welcomes death. How about next week? His defense attorney makes usual “death penalty makes us all murderers” argument. Pass the vomit bag.

Prager H2: The more things in life that bring you joy, the happier you will be. Hobbies are a great source of happiness.

Prager H3: Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: how important is self-esteem; does Dennis use an electric razor; Allen and Dennis do a honey tasting; is it okay for a young son to buy his father a cigar as a gift; what’s so bad about saying “happy holidays”; what is the Old Testament attitude toward premarital sex.
