I didn't see it - is there a good Gather review available?
Mostly I'm glad to see him alive! For a time I wondered if we'd ever see him in a non-meth-cook role. The man doesn't take the easy road!
BTW--I've listened to Gary E. since moving here about 13 years ago, but I became a BFFL (Best Fan For Life) when I listened to him interview Tim Pawlenty, several years back, concerning the "Non-Tax"Health Impact Fee on cigarettes. Gary was asking the Governor to clarify the distinction being made between a "fee" and a "tax." After the Gov's response, Gary followed up by recapping and then saying "But Governor, isn't that just goofy?" It doesn't get any better than that!
