June 28, 2008 So much to discuss, why not start with the Supreme Court and the decisions made this week. The 2nd Amendment is heavy on the brain of many and what about the confrontation clause and the death penalty? These decisions will effect our everyday lives. Blago made a decision this week, to move IDOT employees out of Springfield to Harrisburg. Did Harrisburg's State Representative vote for the recall measure that was targeted at Blagojevich? On an international note, Andrea Mitchell, MSNBC's beltway journalist, says there is chatter about a tag team effort between Israel and the US against Iran ... could this october surprise be detrimental? |

June 21, 2008 Greg Bishop on Saturday Session with Bishop, streaming live on WMAY dot com, 5p to 7p CST. Jeremy Scahill has postponed his interview for a future date, but that won't stop us from talking about Blackwater. Be sure to read some of Jeremy's latest articles and OpEd peices. Tonights show, we will ask the question; will an Obama presidency reduce the use of private security contractors overseas? Congress broke away from hearing Scott McClellan's testimony concerning the leak of Valarie Plame's name to debate the FISA laws. The fourth amendment is stuggling to survive and without opposistion in congress, it is sure to shrivel up and die. Earlier this week, there were several stories about "enemy combatants". Tonight, there will be discussion about the ghost detainees and the torture memos. In other news, are our soldiers being used as guinea pigs? When it comes to testing drugs with powerful side-effects on them ... then yes, they are being used as guinea pigs. This isn't the first time, nor will it be the last. This and your phone calls to 217.629.7970 or emails to bishop@wmay.com |

WMAY will be there taking your donations; toiletries, clothing, bottled water, health care supplies, and more. Do what you can to show the flood victims that Springfield cares! If you can't make it today, WNNS will be there all day tomorrow. All donations will go to Midwest Mission Distribution Center in Chatham who are supporting missions to Illinois and Iowa flood victims. The Bird Whisperer has passed away, will his secrets be exposed? The Sangamon County Jail has new charges brought against them by the family of Klutzo the Clown, alleging jailers said Paul Carlock "got what he deserved". What ever happend to innocent until proven guilty and no cruel and unusual punishment? We cannot be OK with the excessive use of Tasers. Read the story on SJ-R's Website. Government Contracts seem to be a hot meal ticket for many companies operating overseas. But what happens when oversight leads to your dismissal ... for apparently doing your job? Read the New York Times article about Charles Smith and KBR. Also, Blackwater USA is getting more and more contracts, regardless of the FBI deeming their November 2007 Iraq massacre criminal. How much further will we let Blackwater go? Read Jeremy Scahill's editorial about Blackwater from the LA Times. Oh yeah, and if we have time, we'll talk about this guy: The mainstream media would rather talk about Clint Eastwood and Spike Lee fighting than a syndicated talk show host calling for the murder of innocent activists.
