Prager H2: Dennis returns to the President’s Libya speech last night. Callers weigh in with their impressions.. The President makes a point about the allies sharing the load. But even the NY Times acknowledges that this is a fiction.
Prager H3: Last week Dennis focused on the parents point of view – what a parent most wants from a child can shape the way that parent raises that child. This week, he focuses on some practical lessons. One example: love is not enough to raise a good kid.
Prager H1: President Obama gave a fine speech last night to justify our intervention in Libya. Ironically, it could have been given by GW. Dennis talks to Les Standiford and Joe Matthews.

Prager H1: There were protests, complete with riots, in London. What were they protesting so passionately? Budget cuts. When you give people things, it’s very tough to take them away.

Her important book is Power to Save the World: The Truth about Nuclear Energy

Prager H1: In Wisconsin, the public service unions, having lost the electoral and legislative battles, have turned to the courts. They are working to unseat a conservative Wisconsin judge. If they succeed, they may still win. The Left never stops. We can’t. Protests are raging in a very unlikely place – Syria. Could Assad, a thug who is the son of a thug, really be in trouble? One can hope. In Egypt, freedom-loving, Facebook/Twitter revolutionaries have been muscled out of by the Muslim Brotherhood. That didn’t take long. What do you say now, Mr. Friedman?
Prager H2: To be happy, one has to learn to say “no” to yourself. This applies to virtually every part of life.
