FreeKeene’s Ian Calls WKBK’s “Talkback”

radiotower.jpgThis morning, I called “Talkback” to discuss voluntary interaction, Social Security, and Cheshire TV. Download the MP3.

We managed to deliver over 400 of these prior to the “order” of the Attorney Genital. Understandably frightened by the prospect of years in prison, Julia rescinded her offer and instead promised her paychecks to local nonprofits and charities. (more…)
