Prager H3: Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: what is Dennis’s favorite cake; can a good result justify a bad action; why do conservatives have to stay quiet when they’re around liberals.

Prager H2: Dennis does his quarterly Open Lines Happiness Hour. Topics include: how can you know how you come across to others; what is the difference between being self-conscious and self-aware; why is gratitude so important to happiness; can prisoners be happy.

Prager H1: California has put a raft of important ballot measures. Some must be voted down like ending the death penalty and raising taxes. Others must be voted in like ending automatic political deductions from union paychecks… Chris Matthews is making bizarre, hysterical statements about Romney and Republicans on an almost daily basis… Cable star Lena Dunham makes a “hip” video ad for the President, officially sanctioned by the campaign. Does this sort of thing appeal to anybody?… Obama’s electoral “lead” is based on three failing states, California, New York and Illinois, run by Democrats.
