Episode: 2.24.10 The Beginning of the End

Host: Jerry Adams

We have an alternative musical show today to get you over that hump. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid squeezed out a victory on a $15 billion jobs bill after a whirlwind day of frantic negotiations with Republicans.  The top U.S. commander in Baghdad said some American combat forces could remain in Iraq after this summer’s planned withdrawal date if the country’s feuding leaders are unable to quickly form a new government.  It’s no secret that in seeking to fend off a conservative primary challenger, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) has been scrambling to his right faster than you can say ”cap-and-trade.” But now, in a bid to explain his vote for the bailout, the Arizona senator is flat out rewriting history.  ON MARCH 1, Microsoft Windows 7 Release Candidate users will lose control over their computers. Their PCs will start shutting down every two hours, even if they haven’t saved their work. And, On June 1, the screens will go black. World’s largest software maker Microsoft’s business strategy for pushing hard to sell its new Windows 7 by exerting control over users’ PCs has opened a pandora’s box.
