Rich visits the Focus On The Family Welcome Center and Bookstore in beautiful Colorado Springs, Colorado, and provides you with an audio report.  

Frankly, a very banal and boring location, and because of that the report is not all that interesting, but since we have the audio, here it is for your listening "enjoyment."

Rich gives a preliminary report on the polling.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is a raving loon.

A State Department spokesperson is not much better.

A West Bank rabbi says that women should not run for public office.

A federal judge rules that two high school graduation ceremonies cannot take place in a church.

A Catholic school fires a teacher for maybe having thoughts contrary to Catholic dogma, and then, to add insult to injury, objects when she files a claim for unemployment compensation.
