Doug Dannger, gay man and gay journalist, came on to talk about an investigative piece he’s done on tracking software for cell phones. Sprint and AT&T are being sued by consumers for placing this kind of software on phones in what they believe is a violation of federal law. Doug says, “as a gay man and a gay journalist,” that they’re just a bunch of crybabies who don’t want to admit they lose their phones alot and need this software. Doug says most people are paranoid that “there’s a camera somewhere watching their wives going to the bathroom.”

NY Post: Half of German city to be evacuated as massive World War II bomb defused

KOBLENZ, Germany — Bomb experts in the German city of Koblenz are working out how to defuse a massive World War II-era bomb that surfaced in the Rhine River due to low water levels. Almost half of all the residents in the western city — about 45,000 residents — will be evacuated from their homes while the bomb is made safe Sunday, Der Spiegel reported. Two hospitals, seven retirement homes and a local jail will also be emptied.

The bomb measures ten feet long (three meters) and weighs 1.8 tons (1.6 tonnes). Unexploded bombs from World War II often turn up in German cities, forcing authorities to evacuate areas while the bombs are defused or destroyed. But they rarely involve such a large number of local people having to leave their homes.

German authorities said further bomb discoveries along the riverbed were likely due to the unexpectedly low water levels caused by an unseasonably dry November.

Ted Bell announces he’ll be selling horse steak after Congress lifts a ban on horsemeat inspection…Show Log For Wednesday November 30, 2011

Ted Bell announces he’ll be selling horse steak after Congress lifts a ban on horsemeat inspection that clears the way for the sale of horsemeat for human consumption. The only caveat for Ted is that Phil and his callers not actually say the words “horse” or horsemeat.” One competing restaurant in Beverly Hills leaked word that Ted is selling “jack ass steak.” Finally Ted raised the ire of a few callers when he assured Jewish listeners that horse is kosher.
