Try one. It's not what you're expecting. It is, however, an intelligent and passionate rave about the issues we should all be asking about, probably the best on the net. No drivel about non-issues or sensationalist demogogy here. Dan's insights are vital keys to understanding what's going on in the USA. As people quip about the show, "if you're not smart enough, it's not his fault." Try it. You'll see what I mean.
