Weekend Warriors
Whenever Townhall.com catches up, you'll learn two things about the The David Strom Show the past two weeks. One, they were both very good as I'll discuss below. Two, they were live this Thanksgiving weekend, unlike all three acts of the Northern Alliance Radio Network.
Last week they discussed how and why urban planning like our own Smart Growth and Light Rail are such failures. They interviewed Randal O'Toole, author of "The Best-Laid Plans: How Government Planning Harms Your Quality of Life, Your Pocketbook, and Your Future," which of course is newly released and in the Free Market Institute Bookstore.
This week's show featured Neal P. McCluskey, author of "Feds in the Classroom: How Big Government Corrupts, Cripples, and Compromises American Education," also in the FMI Bookstore. So is Barry Castleman's "North Star Rising, Minnesota Politicians on the National Stage," the subject of the second hour.
As is usual for the Stroms, these are more than the shallow read the flap interviews typically heard during a book tour. They add insight, history, local perspective, and humor to make these enjoyable, informative hours.
Having people like David and Margaret working for us who could otherwise so easily live quiet, more comfortable lives are two more blessings to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.
