Getting ready for our WRKO Saturday Morning:

Do you remember the great line in the baseball clasic movie, Field of Dreams”? “Build and they will come.” How about a line for the border fence to halt illegal immigration over the Mexican border, “Build it and they won’t come.” Check this out from the National Public Radio web site: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5323928

STOP THE PRESSES! BUSH DOWN TO A NEW LOW IN THE POLLS. I think we’ve heard that before. If all the stories are true he should be in the negative numbers. Now trhere’s the story, “Bush approval ratings at -31%.” There that makes sense.
