MR. LARSON GOES TO WASHINGTON

We're on location in the Nation's Capital Monday through Wednesday, doing the morning show from the Heritage Foundation. Special guests include Ollie North, Tony Snow and more surprises. We'll chase all the issue important to San Diego and California, only on San Diego 1700AM and http://www.sandiego1700.com/, 5 to 9AM Pacific. Brought to you by Dr Sandy T. Feldman and Clearview Eye & Laser Medical Center (http://www.clearvieweyes.com/) I'll also be emceeing the annual National Right to Life Awards Dinner on Tuesday, and visiting some of our wounded warriors at Walter Reed Medical Center.

SPEAKING OF POLITICS: Gotta love the paranoid reporting from the Salt Lake Tribune regarding VP Cheney's speech to the CNP (As a member, I was there over the weekend):
http://www.sltrib.com//ci_7028160?IADID=Search-www.sltrib.com-www.sltrib.com
Notice how the media give a pass, most always, to Moveon.org et al but they pounce on any conservative groups? Fair and balanced?

AGUIRRE VS. SANDERS

The San Diego battle between the City Attorney and Mayor gets nastier:

DEMS GOT RELIGION

But they still don't seem to know chapter and verse: http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/09/27/the-democrats-quote-scripture/

DON'T WORRY, BE HAPPY

But there's a "happiness gap" between men and women now: http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/09/25/business/leonhardt.php
Time to fix it with jewelry.

KATIE SHOWS HER TRUE COLORS

Bias? What bias? This: http://www.examiner.com/blogs/Yeas_and_Nays/2007/9/26/Couric-weighs-in-on-Iraq-Rather

MOCKING CHRIST

They're doing it again in San Francisco: http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewCulture.asp?Page=/Culture/archive/200709/CUL20070925b.html If they were using the same techniques to mock Muhammad, how long would this kind of thing last?

MEANWHILE, BACK IN IRAN

Here's how the official government media are portraying Mahmoud's New York adventure: http://www2.irna.ir/en/news/view/line-24/0709252616013529.htm

MAHMOUD'S WHOPPERS

Some gems from today's visit to Columbia: http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8RS115O0&show_article=1

HADITHA UPDATE

As heard on our show today:www.examiner.com/a-951738~Officials_say_evidence_shows_justification
_in_some_Haditha_shootings.html
Camp Pendleton Marines may have been justified in some of the killings, as Rowan Scarborough reported on our show. He also recapped Iranian connections to terrorism... and blamed Norv Turner for the Chargers loss to the Packers!

OBAMA OUTTA TOUCHA

Suggesting a huge Social Security tax increase: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=3638710&page=1

AHMADINEJAD IN THE USA: Spreading venom at the UN and at Columbia University:
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20070924/D8RROK080.html His people still say a trip to Ground Zero may still be on his agenda. Good grief! This would be like Hitler wanting to visit a Nazi death camp to lay a wreath in honor of the victims.

BE AFRAID

Hillary Clinton wiggles out of 'em on the Sunday TV talkshows: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0907/5977.html She's very good when she's in "smile and chuckle" mode. That's when it's time worry: She sways people who vote on emotions rather than facts.

AGUIRRE THINKS HE'S MAYOR

And San Diego's real Mayor, Jerry Sanders, empowered the City Attorney again with his gay-marriage flip-flop this week. Now Aguirre's reaching again, this time on the "water crisis":
http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/20070921-1328-bn21water.html

ALL HAT AND NO CATTLE?

OK, some livestock, anyway. Now former Mexican Prez Vicente Fox is turning on G.W. Bush, calling him a "windshield cowboy": http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/09/21/wbush121.xml

FALLOUT UNCLEAR: After San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders' tearful change of heart on same-sex marriage, he's running for re-election: voiceofsandiego.com/articles/2007/09/21/news/01sanders092107.txt

THEY'RE DOING WHAT?

Using Mexican curriculum in OREGON classrooms? Yup: http://www.kgw.com/news-local/stories/kgw_091907_education_mexican_curriculum_.ede64566.html

AMERICANS TRUST THE GENERAL

Despite war protesters saying Petraeus is "a coward" and Democrat attempts to trash him the polls show the people support him: www.cnsnews.com/ViewNation.asp?Page=/Nation/archive/200709/NAT20070919

TALK LIKE A PIRATE

It's "International Talk Like a Pirate Day". Here's how to translate English-to-pirate:

SIT BACK AND ENJOY THE RIDE

Your commute's gotten a lot longer: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/20070918-0939-bn19commute.html

LARSON ON REAGAN SHOW TODAY

I'm sitting in for Michael Reagan on his national talkshow today, 3 to 6PM Pacific, on 200+ stations across America (and on XM and Sirius satellite radio). Check your local listings for airtime in your area (in Southern California the show begins at 6PM on San Diego 1700AM.)

NEW LARSON POLL

Inspired by the taser incident at Monday's John Kerry forum, which public figure would you like to taser (in a non-lethal manner, of course)? VOTE NOW: www.LarsonPoll.com

BARRY BONDS BALL VOTE

What should be done with the Number 756 baseball? Vote here and vote often:
http://www.vote756.com/marcecko/ (I suggest Option B, with the ASTERISK.)

TASER, ANYONE?

A speaker at a John Kerry forum doesn't shut up.... and gets tasered: http://www.local10.com/news/14138122/detail.html?rss=mia&psp=news
This is an amazing story for a lot of reasons, especially considering how people usually want to taser themselves while listening to Kerry drone on. Imagine the possibilities if more tasers were available, too: Sally Field at the Emmys, out of control grand-standing politicians, etc. Fun!

O.J. IN THE POKEY

The plots thickens as Las Vegas Police take Mr. Simpson off his quest to "find the real killer" and hold him without bail: http://apnews.myway.com/article/20070917/D8RN6OP01.html
The Juice could is facing six felony counts, each with up to 30 years in prison. That's 180 years.... which, if he was held in California instead of Nevada, would allow him to be paroled in about a week and a half. Maybe he thought the slogan "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" meant he could do whatever he wanted...and again get away with it.

FLASHBACK

"Die-in" protestors take to the streets in DC: http://www.examiner.com/a-937671~Thousands_March_in_D_C__War_Protest.html Their angle: It's just like Vietnam, it's 1968 all over again, Bush=Nixon. One of the more outrageous statements made by the ANSWER-ettes: "General Petreaus is a coward".

SOMETHING STINKETH

The latest Clinton-China story indicates there maybe much more here:
http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewPolitics.asp?Page=/Politics/archive/200709/POL20070914d.html
Still the national media aren't on this story as strongly as if, well, the money-raising candidate was a Republican... instead of Hillary.

HE MUST HAVE MORE FREE TIME

Apparently not spending every waking hour "searching for the real killer", O.J. Simpson may be in new hot water: http://www.nbc5.com/entertainment/14112704/detail.html?rss=chi&psp=news

WHAT THE PRESIDENT WILL SAY TONIGHT

Here's the latest: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0907/5822.html
Reaction from the Dems? Predictable. The New York Times says they're frustrated. With what? Possible victory? They're also "mulling" new strategy. Ah yes, been there before and they think it's the 1960s again: Snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

SOUTHWEST AIRLINES FASHION UPDATE

Now a 21 year old woman claims she was hassled about her skimpy clothing on a flight, ala the San Diego Hooters star from last week. The first "victim" is now immortalized in an internet video: http://ledaro.blogspot.com/2007/09/southwest-airlines-dress-code.html

DO AS I SAY...NOT AS I DO, DEPT.

San Diego City Council President Scott Peters lectures locals on saving "20 gallons of water as day". Now we know he's the top H2O guzzler: voiceofsandiego.org/articles/2007/09/12/news/01conservation091207

OSAMA DOES IT AGAIN

Enough of the videos already: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,296372,00.html
But let's remember what he and his thugs did on this day, six years ago.

MEANWHILE ON CAPITOL HILL: People who should know better (and liked the General
months ago) continue their reprehensible grilling of Gen. Petreaus... and now polls reflect their moves: http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/09/10/surge.poll/index.html

JANE WYMAN...REST IN PEACE

Our friend Michael Reagan's mother, acclaimed actress Jane Wyman, passed away today:
www.jane-wyman.com Our sympathy and prayers go out to the family.

I TOLD YOU WHAT WAS NEXT

They start with curbing smoking and now it's the Cheeseburger Police:
www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-fastfood10sep10,0,4559964.story?

THEY MUST BE BRILLIANT

And psychic. Capitol Hill Democrats already think they know what General Petraeus will say in his report on Iraq: http://www.iht.com/bin/print.php?id=7440551 They made up their minds months ago. Oh, but they "support the troops". Give me a break.

WHO'S WRITING HIS MATERIAL?

MoveOn.org? Osama, the expert-in-all-things speaks: http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2007/09/new-obl-tape-ir.html

WHY TERRORISTS HATE US?

Another shining moment for western culture (not)... MTV debuts a new bi-sexual dating show:
www.tvweek.com/news/2007/09/mtv_greenlights_tila_tequila_d.php

AND THEN THERE'S THIS: Another Teacher-Gone-Wild... makes you wonder who's teaching the teachers: http://www.wyff4.com/news/14060995/detail.html

AL JAZEERA'S NEW FALL TV SEASON

They'll be kicking off the exciting new schedule with the latest Bin Laden video:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/2062935

THINGS THAT FLY UPDATE

The fashion police are cracking down on Southwest Airlines: http://blogs.usatoday.com/sky/2007/09/whats-appropria.html

OK, NOW THEY'RE OVERDOING IT: San Diego City Council rules are going a bit overboard... again. This time in the wake of the too-tall building at Montgomery field, they want any construction to pass FAA rules... even this guy who has stairs going nearly UNDERground:
voiceofsandiego.org/articles/2007/09/06/news/faa090607.txt

WE'RE HERE IN THE MORNING, 5 TO 9AM: And a new study makes us second-guess getting up really early: news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070906/hl_afp/healthjapansleep;_ylt=AqdEZA_

JUST DODGED THE BULLET?

Authorities nab Al Qaeda-types who planned to kill Americans... possibly on September 11th...but they're still looking for more terrorists: http://apnews.myway.com/article/20070906/D8RFSTL80.html

CONSERVATION POLICE RUNNING WILD

First it was the thermostat police (turn those air conditioners off!) and now get ready for water cutbacks, thanks to a wacky judge who seems to care more about a tiny fish than people: www.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/20070905-9999-1m5short.html

DON'T LET THE TSA FIND OUT ABOUT THIS

The official airline in Nepal, faced with mechanical problems, solves things by sacrificing two goats to the "sky gods": www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUSEIC470860200

MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE

Among the stars: Bill Gates, Oprah, Ronald Reagan, Bin Laden and Home Simpson. Doh!
http://www.usatoday.com/news/top25-influential.htm?csp=34

NOW HERE'S AN IDEA

Spain will use straightjackets and helmets on illegals... for their protection: www.news24.com/News24/World/News/0,,2-10-1462_2176422,00.html

OUR LARRY CRAIG VIDEO IS HOT ON YOU TUBE: Created by our cutting-edge Executive Producer Scott Wood, it's getting rave reviews.... scroll down to the "We apologize" story and click to see it now!

MEXICO'S PRESIDENT STEPS IN IT

Border? What border? So says President Calderon: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5103052.html

WHILE OTHERS ARE OFF FOR LABOR DAY...

...we'll be there: Live, local from 5 to 9AM Pacific on the NEW San Diego 1700AM in Southern California and everywhere on www.sandiego1700.com

JUDGE OUT OF CONTROL

Here we go again. A Federal judge decides to flex his environmental agenda and rules California must dramatically cutback water from the Sacramento Delta... in order to protect the dinky little "Delta Smelt": http://www.fresnobee.com/384/story/126606.html Ah yes, just like San Diego county's expensive hassles in years past over the "gnat catcher" (which may have been endangered here but not across the border in Mexico), here's a judge apparently caring more about tiny fish than the well-being of the people of California. Expect water rationing sooner than expected, among other challenges. This is yet another wake-up call for elected officials to get in gear quickly to improve infrastructure in the state. Leadership and action anyone? Soon? Oh, by the way: The judge who's now created this mess was appointed by Bush 41, back in 1991. Maybe he thought the judge was conservative (unlikely) or once again we see how a "conservative" president was really putting left-wingers in places where they'll cause problems for years to come.
