Prager H3: Dennis opens the hour talking to Congressman David Dreier about the pending government shut down. The Congressman was delighted that Dennis couldn’t take his call last hour – it was the Happiness Hour and nothing disrupts that. Callers then take over. Issues raised include: Do Democrats have a dark view of life; how much can we tax the risk; does Dennis use generalizations too much.
