i live in an early 2008 primary/caucus state that needs to wake up and smell the reality that they cannot set the tone for primary elections anymore. how about a "national day of primary" for all 50 states to have an even-playing field in deciding who will be our next president?? also, could somebody PLEASE do a pod on Neko Case?? how also about a pod on Tori Amos and how she has influenced a generation of "tori-philes"?? she is also legend to me.
