Week in Review
July 17, 2007Audio Archive
– An all-night Republican Filbuster to “Give War a Chance”
– Bush’s adamant opposition to giving poor children health care
– Media fawning over lazy empty-suit Senator but “manly” actor Fred Thompson
– A Constitutional Crisis caused by Bush’s refusal to allow Administration officials to testify before Congress
– A Right-Wing Hypocritical Judicial Activist Court
All in all, a typical week in Washington…
Speed Trap
July 16, 2007VIDEO of show / Audio Archive
Should state and local governments raise money by heavily taxing speeders with fees, in addition to fines? Mark, who concedes he is a traffic scofflaw (“they’re the only laws I break!), opposes the idea.
Introducing guest, George Burke, Chair of the 11th Congressional District Democratic Committee in Virginia, who tomorrow will begin an “Inside Scoop – Virginia” television show spinning off of Mark’s show on Channel 10.
In Virginia, you can get a $3550 speeding ticket for going 15 MPH over the speed limit. And these laws are not just in Virginia: they exist across the nation.
