Return of the Northern Alliance

In our first hour today, we talked about the big stories of the day: the media’s tipoff to al Qaeda of yet another anti-terror program, the arrest of seven would-be Jihadis in Florida, and the crashing and burning of Democrat anti-war ambitions in the Senate. It was a lively hour, made even more interesting by technical problems that apparently resulted from a lightning strike last night. I edited out of the podcast a pretty funny minute or two in which radio listeners could hear callers, but we couldn’t. But on the whole, the tone was serious and the commentary sharp.

You can download and listen to the show here. Most of our podcasts are now being downloaded as automatic updates on iTunes, which you can subscribe to, if you haven’t already done it, here.

In a couple of days, I’ll podcast our less time-sensitive second hour, in which we awarded a Lifetime Achievement Gatekeeper award to a certain recently-retired anchorman, and the highly-prized Loon of the Week to a previously under-appreciated warbler.
