On Wednesday’s Neal Larson Show I conducted perhaps my most irreverent and blunt FlashPoll ever.

A few weeks ago, I set up my own Facebook. While I did it to help promote my radio show — and to keep in touch with people from the past and loved ones who live distantly — I soon found that something was missing. The first few days I felt addicted, wanting to log [...]

The Idaho Legislature recently passed a midwiffery licensing bill that places some restrictions on midwives and mandates a minimum of care standard.  As a conservative I tend to oppose government regulation, but on this particular bill, I don’t see anything egregious. Some of the callers to my radio show — most, actually — disagreed and [...]

UPDATE: Rep. Tom Loertscher will appear on the Neal Larson Show today (Friday, during the noon hour on 690 and 1260).
There’s a great debate brewing over a bill being pushed by Representative Tom Loertscher, chairman of the House State Affairs Committee. He wants to ensure that pharmacists can exercise their consciences by not dispensing drugs [...]
