On Today's Program
The list
So why IS gas so darn expensive? There are a lot of reasons, but somehow the biggest problem (as usual) points directly to Washington DC. Democrats yesterday in a subcommittee voted basically to kill going to the outer continental shelf to drill for oil because there are 'other things we can do'. Glenn would like to introduce you to the people who are preventing us from drilling here at home, because, as Glenn says, these people should be famous. When the pitchforks and torches start coming out---we'd like to help clarify who was for or against us. Read the transcript. (Insiders listen here).

When Doug moved his family to Italy, he heard about the story and hooked up with a local journalist and they began writing about him and trying to crack the case. The next thing Doug knew, he was a suspect. Read the transcript. (Insiders listen here).
Here's a bailout
Ed McMahon's a nice guy and everything, but should you really feel bad for someone who's getting foreclosed on a home that's over $4 million?

It's the subject of Glenn's latest CNN piece, titled 'Don't feel too bad for Ed McMahon'. Read it here.
