The action begins at the four minute mark. Kevin James does not know basic history. It is stunning that such an ignorant moron would be permitted to host a radio show.

Books To Jump Up and Down Over
The Call by Yannick Murphy: The always interesting author of Here They Come and Signed, Mata Hari returns with a novel that whips up a worldview from a rather quirky set of limitations: namely, the call logs that a veterinarian maintains as his son is unexpectedly put into a coma and an unforgiving economy denies him work. What emerges is a surprisingly optimistic, often funny, and very moving account on how one family uses acceptance and forgiveness as a way to atone for hard knocks.

Birds of Paradise by Diana Abu-Jaber: Forget Franzen and Eugenides. If you're looking for a social novel that counts, Diana Abu-Jaber is the author you're looking for. Building from the free-form exploration of consciousness and identity in Crescent and the gripping procedural structure of Origin, Abu-Jaber's latest novel is her finest, equally fluent with gutterpunk culture and smarmy real estate men. It has been suggested by The Washington Post's Ron Charles that you will likely gain some pounds while reading this novel. This is certainly true. Abu-Jaber's description of food is so precise that it often made me want to do more cooking. But I very much admired the way in which Abu-Jaber presents all her characters as unwitting victims of rough capitalism, which permits them some dignity even as they perform terrible acts.
The Last of the Live Nude Girls by Sheila McClear: This memoir isn't so much about the decline of the Times Square peepshow, as it is about one young woman's efforts to pull herself up by by her bootstraps when presented with few economic options. Filled with self-introspective candor and a quiet dignity, McClear's story is one that might befall any of us in these volatile times. While McClear does get back on her feet, her book leads one contemplating the terrible fates of other young women now moving to New York and falling into deadlier vocations.

Have you seen Mike Judge’s film IDIOCRACY? He depicts a future America populated by the descendants of Kevin James. (This guy has a radio show?? What does he do, yell incoherently for an hour?)
“It is stunning that such an ignorant moron would be permitted to host a radio show.”
Permitted? He’s got the job because he makes the station money.
He’s a performing pig. I’d be stunned there are enough people who want to listen to him that he turns the station a profit, but I’d be faking it.
And aren’t you just a little curious to hear what he says today on his local broadcast about his encounter with Matthews? I mean, just thirty seconds of it?
Only appeasers value history.
what did he say on his radio program after that? i’m very curious. where can i go to get that audio?
“It is stunning that such an ignorant moron would be permitted to host a radio show.”
Have you ever subjected yourself to a sampling of Hannity, O’Reilly, Limbaugh or any of their minor league clones? They’re all like Kevin James, or he is like them, if you prefer.
