On the air

December 19th, 2005 by Dave

I don’t have much time to write a real post/commentary today (work on Roll the Bones and several other things is taking up all my time), but if you want to catch me on the radio, check out KWDN 720 AM at noon (Pacific time) today. I’ll be a guest on “Lunchtime with Ira,” broadcasting live from the Las Vegas Hilton.

I’ll be sharing the airwaves with host Ira David Sternberg, the legenday Johnny Mathis, magician Rick Thomas, and reporter/author George Knapp. It should be a lot of fun.

The show will be archived at www.lvhilton.com.

    The treatment of Jay Cohen, ie being jailed in a Las Vegas jail for offering internet gambling is beyond comprehension for the likes of a Brit like me. The law truly is an an ass at times.

    I am glad you are documenting such behaviour in book form from a historical point of view.

    1 day the US will look back and shudder at the treatment meted out in this instance.
