From this Saturday, January 14 through Monday, January 16th, anyone who wants to go into Yellowstone Park can do so without having to pay a single penny for admission. Yellowstone is joining the rest of our national parks in waving fees during the Martin Luther King Day weekend as a way to encourage people to get outside and enjoy the view.

The FDA is warning healthcare professionals and patients of a slip-up regarding pain medications produced by Endo Pharmaceuticals. During packaging, pills were accidently sent to the wrong bottles producing a public safety hazard.

After Friday’s show, I received a call from a listener who was very worried about Mitt Romney. This individual was a strong supporter of Gingrich and would fall into what I call the “anti-Romney” voting block. After declaring himself a conservative he went as far as to say that he would vote for Obama over Romney (which I see as a strange thing for a “conservative” to want to do)...

I feel that the United States has an interest in defending copyrighted material and in prosecuting illegal activates that occur on the Internet (child pornography for example)...

The line between security and liberty is at the forefront of both of today’s heated issues (T.S.A. security and the law just passed by Obama). We will likely get more information on what Obama signed tomorrow, but for now I want to leave readers with a link to the actual body of H.R. 1...

Welcome to the Talk Back blog. My name is Jon King and I’ll be responsible for lifting the curtain and exposing all the dirty details about the show. If you’re looking for links to resources, behind-the-scenes sound bites, opinion articles, our background research, or just another place to let your opinion out, this is it...
