NCR: National Corporate Radio News

Back after a month hiatus, we clearly missed some important events in the news: the Dow edged back up past 10000; President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize as he weighs sending more troops to Afghanistan; the G-20 summit in Pittsburgh saw world leaders come together to denounce Iran’s nuclear ambitions and sort of consider curbing their own; big corporations like Pacific Gas & Electric, Exelon and Apple quit the US Chamber of Commerce over a difference of opinion on climate change; and health care reform has limped forward about two and a half inches from where it was when we last talked about it. And yet, out of all these major stories, nothing was really more important, more compelling, more indeed historic, than the amazing, heart-wrenching story that entered all of our lives late last week: the story of Balloon Boy. This is the first program to be recorded at the New House of Honky Bean (our first actual house!) at 7:30 or so in the pm PST.
