We're broadcasting live nationwide tonight on XM202 from 9pm-Midnight eastern. Expect tales from Opie and Anthony's Halloween party as Wayne was blasted and taking pictures next to chicks asses.

PLUS!!!! Reed is so distraught over the election he has promised to begin the show by swallowing a concoction that will have him hallucinating for hours.

Tune in.

While people are seething and screaming "SOCIALIST!" at candidates these days - it's interesting to look at the data. The true "Socialists" are the red states, which take more federal tax money than they bring in. In fact 84% of states that take in more than they contribute vote Republican. And 78% of states that contribute more than they use vote Democratic. Strange to see so many red-faced redstaters screaming of the ills of "socialism" and how horrible it is to spread the wealth around when they are on the dole. Maybe we should stop being so nice and let you fend for yourselves. But that's not in our nature really. Some of us still believe we're all in this together and you should help a brother out. Even if that brother is an angry redneck from Mississippi. We love you rednecks, thanks for the great food and music about trucks.

The New Yorker hits it on the head

"The incumbent Administration has distinguished itself for the ages. The Presidency of George W. Bush is the worst since Reconstruction, so there is no mystery about why the Republican Party - which has held dominion over the executive branch of the federal government for the past eight years and the legislative branch for most of that time - has little desire to defend its record, domestic or foreign. The only speaker at the Convention in St. Paul who uttered more than a sentence or two in support of the President was his wife, Laura. Meanwhile, the nominee, John McCain, played the part of a vaudeville illusionist, asking to be regarded as an apostle of change after years of embracing the essentials of the Bush agenda with ever-increasing ardor.

The Republican disaster begins at home. Even before taking into account whatever fantastically expensive plan eventually emerges to help rescue the financial system from Wall Street's long-running pyramid schemes, the economic and fiscal picture is bleak. During the Bush Administration, the national debt, now approaching ten trillion dollars, has nearly doubled. Next year's federal budget is projected to run a half-trillion-dollar deficit, a precipitous fall from the seven-hundred-billion-dollar surplus that was projected when Bill Clinton left office. Private-sector job creation has been a sixth of what it was under President Clinton. Five million people have fallen into poverty. The number of Americans without health insurance has grown by seven million, while average premiums have nearly doubled. Meanwhile, the principal domestic achievement of the Bush Administration has been to shift the relative burden of taxation from the rich to the rest. For the top one per cent of us, the Bush tax cuts are worth, on average, about a thousand dollars a week; for the bottom fifth, about a dollar and a half. The unfairness will only increase if the painful, yet necessary, effort to rescue the credit markets ends up preventing the rescue of our health-care system, our environment, and our physical, educational, and industrial infrastructure."

American taxpayers have already bailed out millionaires who rode the wave of deregulation - it was the savings and loan scandal. Except last time, McCain was hauled in front of Congress for taking campaign contributions and pressuring regulators to back off. Bush and McCain have beat the drum of deregulation - and look where it got us - we're headed for the next great depression.

The Keating 5 McCain scandal explained in 2 minutes..
