Before I Listen to the Radio...
...I'll read about John & Ken's spin on the failure of Political Human Sacrifice.
Which they say isn't a failure:
Political Human Sacrifice was a HUGE success! We here at the John & Ken Show need to take a moment and thank all our listeners that joined the fight against two of the most Illegal Immigrant Loving Congressmen in Califronia. Keep in mind that the fight is not over! Stay tuned to John & Ken on KFI for more details.
They have assembled some statistics (you know, lies, damned lies, and...). Although they don't negate the fact that Dreier won, and Baca won convincingly, they're interesting for a read:
