...true that I wish I could get my DHAs before the end of my season, use the trainer when I become injured, and spend a smaller portion of my life selling cheer paraphernalia to cover competition fees.

Liberal radio host Bill Press is one of these, as he demonstrated in an interview with Senator Tom Harkin: “You know, we’re not going to take any of the conservative voices off the airwaves, but just make sure that there are a few progressives and liberals out there, right...
