#118 - Kid Logic
Martin Luther King's birthday prompted a child to ask a question that reminded me of how much hate we live with every day. Listen to Kid logic for this one segment alone. "Daddy, Did they kill him too?" Sometimes it takes a child to remind us that human civilization we're not.

#326 - Quiz Show
ACT I - Game show contestants come from all walks of life. This story is about a shy man who lived with his Mom. He comes out of his shell on Britain's version of "Who Want's to Be a Millionaire". Were you happy or sad when you heard this story? This poor simple man had grand ideals.

#325 - Houses of Ill Repute - thumbs down
Sorry, no favorite this week. I can't say a story, prostitutes taking over an old man's row home in New York did not make my favorites list, heroin needles hanging out of her neck, no running water, rats running through out the second floor and piss pots. Sad yes, but favorite no.
Act II was not much better. Sorry kid, my violin did not feel your pain.
