THIS IS WHY WE DON'T TRUST GOVERNMENT It's almost like government doesn't understand that there is a whole new wave of empowered citizen journalists who are working daily to hold them accountable. What else could explain JeffCo Public Schools laissez faire response to the firing, investigation, and subsequent suicide of their Chief of Schools? Why weren't they honest with parents from the beginning that David Weiss was being investigated for possession of child porn? Jimmy Sengenberger writes about the latest kerfuffle here and new demands to do away with the Trusted Adult designation championed by the guy being investigated for possessing child porn. Jimmy may be joining us at 1 to discuss.

THE WINE YOGI IS ON TO TALK DRY JANUARY What is Dry January? It's the month that some people take off from drinking to give their livers (and their minds) a rest after the excessives of December.

The pass is $299 and allows you to book domestic flights the day before and international flights ten days out. She joins me at 2:30 to discuss but they already bought one for this upcoming year so I'm guessing it worked out just fine.
