WFTR-AM radio show podcast, 1/17/11

Lively show! Unfortunately the first few minutes didn't get recorded for the podcast, so it misses the old man fouling up the intro music and stumbling over everyone's name as usual. Our guests were Micah Peregrino, Jackson McGraw and Tyler Atkinson. We talked about the tragic shooting in Tucson, and decided to focus on a less-discussed aspect of the case: how the public health system deals with insanity. Jackson had some interesting research on the subject. Micah tackled the new Congress and the debt limit. Valerie moderated moderately. Fun was had. If they don't lock the doors and turn off the lights when we pull into the parking lot, we'll do it again in two weeks.

GMU Debate Tournament

I tried to send email updates to the blog all weekend but none of them got through. Irritating, especially since we have such great news!

Ben Nelson got his first break in Lincoln Douglas, getting into the octofinal round after an excellent performance in the six out rounds.

In Public Forum, Jon Pederson and Micah Peregrino did well but didn't break. Jackson McGraw and Valerie Pratt went all the way to Finals, and finished in second place!

Next up: a WACFL tournament this Saturday at South Lakes High School in Reston. Our next national-level tournament is the Liberty Bell Invitational at U Penn in Philadelphia, February 19-20. And of course, every two weeks, we're back on the airwaves on WFTR.

We're radioactive!

Quite the lively talk show on Monday! We talked about government by regulation, death panels, the proposed Constitutional amendment that would let states veto Federal laws, and even managed to work in some of Dave Barry's latest column. Valerie Pratt moderated, and our guests were Tyler Atkinson, Jackson McGraw and Ben Nelson.
