David, you should post more. You are probably busy with the show, etc. You are like a chris matthews where i want your opinion but you don't really give it. I have to think about what your views are based upon the questions you ask your guests and the topics you discuss.

Opinion, especially controversial opinion, gets people to listen regardless if they agree or not. In fact, i have found (based on why i actually watch hannity) if you have a crazy opinion people will listen just to get pissed off. I dont know why. Its like that movie of howard sterns...only you can leave out naken lesbians in your studio..if you so chose. Cavuto gets hooters girls.. you could probably line something up. Anyway.

Dont mind my ranting, i just got finished with some "youthful indiscretions" as the president and barack would call it.
