ah it's soo gooood. I rarely catch it, but when I do I usually sit in my car and listen to the whole thing. They had one where they interviewed a kid about loosing his grandparents on 9/11, I had to keep telling myself "keep it together Chris, keep it together"

Have you ever read anything by Studs Terkel? He's a fabulous oral historian, and Working is probably his most famous book.

I remember hearing about that when I was interning at the Library of Congress. Say what you will about the Bushes, but Laura Bush has been a great supporter of the LoC; it's been able to do some great things during W's presidency.

Was that sacrilidge for me to say?
