    One of my favs! I think for some it might be too folksy, but growing up on the MS Gulf Coast this is what I’m used to. How well I remember when Ed Cates faked his own death! I worked at the newspaper in that area at the time. I also remember several supervisors statewide that were indicted around that time. The Good Ole Boy system was alive & well!

  • cut to the chase

    too much irrelevant filler: I don't need to know the career details of a well known celebrity murder victim. What I would like to hear about, is how tough love doesn't always work. They tried to love their son and it is an enormous tragedy

    I love your show though I was disappointed in that you sounded like you had listened to Limbaugh. I consider him a horrible man. Not only conservative which I can deal with but all his ideas were bad.
