As part of the requirements for an English class somewhere along the way in my distant past, I read Ayn Rand's futuristic novel, Atlas Shrugged. This interview between John Stossel and Sean Hannity discusses the first installment of three movies (the book's over 1,000 pages long) soon to be released. Look for Part 1 in movie theaters coming April 15th.
Fifty years ago when she wrote the book, no one could imagine such a time when government power could crush the entrepreneurial spirit in America. Truth these days, it seems, is stranger than fiction.

Political Quote of the Day
 |
| Dr. Thomas Sowell |
Professor Thomas Sowell, now 80 years old, appeared last night on the Hannity show. While flipping through channels, I stumbled over the interview, then I found the link online this morning. Sowell is openly amazed at the course the Obama administration has taken to intervene in the economy. It is his contention that over the last 100 years we are suffering the worst and most protracted recession in history because of the government's miscalculations to control the economy.
"What’s so ironic is that the communists are easing up and freeing up more elements of their economy while we’re clamping down and moving in the direction of more government control of ours.
No one would have predicted this 20 years ago."

KSL Newsradio dumps Sean Hannity
This is a repost from the KSL Radio website:
KSL Newsradio severs ties with talk show host Sean Hannity
July 1st, 2010 @ 5:04pm
SALT LAKE CITY -- KSL Newsradio announced Thursday it has ended its relationship with syndicated talk show host Sean Hannity, effective this fall.
The move is intended to make room for more local programming, according to KSL Broadcasting Chief Executive Officer Mark Willes.
He said the company believes its future success depends on creating unique local content.
"We acknowledge the great partnership we've had with Sean Hannity and appreciate his contributions to furthering public dialogue," said Willes. "At the end of the day, we simply feel our future success and competitive advantage reside in creating unique local content, and that is our objective for developing replacement programming."
Hannity has been on KSL Newsradio since October 2001.
The Sean Hannity Show is on the air from 1 to 4 p.m. and will remain on KSL until Oct. 1.

Those I know who are closer to the situation tell me it has been in the works for a year. It is apparently believed that Sean has become too polarizing in the community, and they want to replace his radio show with programming that will be more conciliatory and positive.
Honestly, I can't blame the owners (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). Sean has become so shrill and critical (yes, it's richly deserved) of President Obama that I can't tune in very often anymore. I could say the same for Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck.
A little bit of that stuff goes a very long way today. Obama is a radical, Obama has radical friends and associates, Obama is bankrupting America, Obama is taking the country down the path to socialism, Obama is a progressive, Obama is a Marxist, Obama is the worst president in the history of the world. Sean Hannity absolutely nailed it on the head in the election campaign season of 2008. His dire warnings about what would happen if Obama were elected have absolutely come true.
Okay, Sean, I heard you the first time, and I get it, and I hope and pray the American public will strip him of his filibuster-proof Senate majority and his simple majority in the House. I don't have to be shouted at every day on the air waves to get the point.
I get it. I heard you the first time, Sean, and I love you brother. . . but. . .
Apparently, the owners and operators of KSL Newsradio have had enough too. I for one will be looking forward to whatever replacement programming comes next. Will it shut down Sean's voice? No, he'll just move to another channel in the local market and Sean Hannity fans will not be disappointed or disenfranchised in the least. You can find Rush and Glenn too. Order Sean's latest book from Amazon (click on the link and be happy). No problem.
But you can't be the true and living church advocating peace, civility, love and brotherhood, and continue to promote that type of vitriol day in and day out with impunity no matter how popular it may be with the predominantly conservative talk radio market crowd here in Salt Lake.
Score another victory for the living prophets among us who lead the way.
