Wow! Great guests last week. This week looks promising as well. I’m getting the hang of doing these now and you guys know the deal: Here’s this weeks guests, their photo, the best of their wikipedia page, and a fract.
Wikipedia
Monday: General Tony Zinni: He may be a retired General, but he is a very busy man. He co-authored of two books, “The Battle for Peace” and “Leading the Charge” with Tony Koltz and Tony and Tony both wrote “Battle Ready” with Tom Clancy. He is also on eight different companies’ advisory boards. He is an instructor at Duke University and also a public speaker. “Leading The Charge” is his newest book (2009) publication.
Fract:General Tony Zinni retired from the Marines in the year 2000 as a 4 Star General. This makes him a MegaAmerican!
Tuesday: Kurt Andersen

Kurt Andersen lives in Brooklyn, New York. He is the co-host of Studio 360, a Peabody winning public radio program. He is the author of several books, including “Turn Of The Century”, “Heyday”, “Tools of Power”, “Loose Lips”, “Minus Equals Plus,” and his latest: Reset: How This Crisis Can Restore Our Values and Renew America.” In addition, he has worked for several newspapers, helped found Spy-Magazine (now out of print), and Time.
Fract: He was fired from New York Newspaper in 1996. He claimed the reason was he published an article concerning financial interests of his boss. His claim has kept me from publishing DB’s stock portfolio.
Wednesday: Kris Kobach Kris Kobach is a Rebublican candidate for Kansas’ Secretary of State. One issue of focus he has is stopping Acorn. As he is running for office, his motivation for going on The Colbert Report is for the famous Colbert Bump, but does he have the balls to get nailed?
Fract:He hosts a radio show from 6-8am on Sunday mornings. He graduated Summa Cum Laude from Harvard in 1988. Kansas has radios?

Thursday: Meryl Streep Meryl Streep is an actress who has starred in numerous movies including but not limited to “Mamma Mia”, “Doubt”, and the latest (not yet released) “Julie and Julia”, a sequel to her first film, “Julia” (just kidding, not really a sequel). In “Julie and Julia” she plays Julia Child, the great TV cook.
Fract She lives in Hollywood California. I know this because she drives a Toyota Prius.
I’ve been seeing previews and teasers for Julie and Julia and I’m really excited to see this. The reality competition show on the Food Network, The Next Food Network Star, dedicated their season finale challenge to this flick, giving us a really nice taste of what the movie’s about.
Good Lord I dislike Kris Kobach. He ran for Congress a few years ago, and (fortunately) lost. What does it mean when a Republican can’t win a congress seat in Kansas? It means that the Republican is so extreme, moderate Republicans would rather vote for a moderate Democrat – Dennis Moore. (We elected and re-elected Kathleen Sebelius for similar reasons.) I think the Bump will help him about as much as it helped Mike Huckabee. May his radio show ever flourish, and remain his main source of income.
