Prager H2: Dennis remembers a childhood visit to the circus… Is there anyone like Frank Sinatra on the popular music scene today?… A new study suggests that bribing kids to eat vegetables works. The profit motive in action!
Prager H1: The patriarch of the Duck Dynasty family, Phil Robertson, crossed the PC line: he made comments critical of homosexuality. He was immediately suspended from by the network, A&E, that produces his show… Meanwhile, the Rose Bowl Parade will feature a same sex couple who will be married on a parade float… Even mainstream media journalists admit that the media has a Leftist bias… Belief in God and heaven and hell, though still high, is declining and sharply in the US – a bad trend, whether you’re a believer or not.

Prager H2: The uncle of the psychotic young leader of N Korea was executed last week. Apparently, the uncle didn’t clap hard enough when his nephew was promoted recently to some phony new position.
