Listener comments!
	8:34pm HΘRNΣT MΘNTANA: Social Security: Social Security recipients would be largely unaffected by a shutdown, but they would continue to age.
	8:35pm HΘRNΣT MΘNTANA: Air Traffic Control: As a function of maintaining public safety, Air traffic controllers would continue to sleep at work.
	8:35pm HΘRNΣT MΘNTANA: Mail Delivery: The U.S. Postal Service is owned by the government but self-funded - so mailmen would continue to be attacked by dogs.
	8:38pm HΘRNΣT MΘNTANA: Passport Operations: All operations would be likely suspended and the magnetic chip in your passport would lock it shut.
	8:39pm Essential Services: Spreading the wealth around.
	8:41pm HΘRNΣT MΘNTANA: Food Inspection: Meat and poultry testing would likely continue, until the meat and poultry run out of things to test.
	8:42pm needle: hey hornet,shut the f up
	8:43pm Essential Services: Is hornet a person, or a bot?
	8:43pm needle: he's a douche
	8:44pm Yakov S.: In Russia, you sting hornet.
	8:44pm HΘRNΣT MΘNTANA: questions / stool pigeon / needle, we are acquainted.
	8:45pm Yakov S.: Goodie, a WWF grudge match
	8:46pm needle: don't know what you r talkin about.just wish you'd shut up.
	8:48pm Yakov S.: appears that hornet is a slow typer. or a fast shutter upper.
	8:49pm needle: wise observation dear yakov
	8:50pm HΘRNΣT MΘNTANA: No, I went from creator to expectant consumer to see needle's worthwhile contributions in the absence of mine.
	8:50pm needle: dweeb

	8:51pm HΘRNΣT MΘNTANA: Second attack.

	8:59pm poobag: making douches look good.. even worse..
	8:59pm needle: douche
	8:59pm Yakov S.: that too, pardon my english
	8:59pm Joseph Hit,ler: alright who ready to get that money
	9:00pm Yakov S.: great show.
	9:00pm Tom ( The Bactrian Support Record ): under $10 an hour ... yeah he must be about 80 now and made that wage 40 years ago !!!
	9:01pm needle: oh yeah,great show,for douches
	9:02pm Yakov S.: @needle: forgot the end of my 9:00 comment: /sarcasm
	12:20pm Mr. Stickler: Chris, I can't believe you let a caller (just past the 35:00 mark) get away with the following whopper: "The rich pay no taxes." Not only that you more or less agreed, saying something like "well, it's happening." Come one, you know better than that, I think, but just in case I'm wrong here are some Treasury Dept stats for the year 2008: Top 1% of federal income tax payers: earned 20% of all adjusted gross income. Paid 38% of all federal income tax collected. Top 5% of federal income tax payers: earned 34.73% of all adjusted gross income. Paid 58.72% of all federal income tax collected. http://www.taxfoundation.org/news/show/250.html I don't expect this information to sway your belief that the rich are looting society, but what the hell... the rich pay NO taxes? Hey, you know what might make an interesting topic perhaps. Discuss who, exactly, is rich and what their "fair share" is. Many politicians love to say we could solve our fiscal problems if only the rich would pay their "fair share" but they always decline to define that. I think most people, even most upper income people, don't think of themselves as rich. The "rich" guy is always somebody who makes 30% or 40% beyond what you make! Anyhow, if you don't think they're paying their fair share, that's fine but it would be an interesting exercise to try to stake out a definition of what their fair share is.
