Day Two of the Comcast Outage. We apologize, even though we have no control over this national outage. We rely on land lines for our phone interviews, and the phones went out again today just before the show. We don’t have cell reception – our studio is in the basement of a metal building. Welcome to another episode of seat-of-the-pants radio!

Part One: Author Elaine Povich joins us in the studio to talk about her new book, “John McCain: American Maverick,” a pictorial biography. Elaine is an award winning journalist who has published 3 books, including a 2008 biography of Senator McCain.

Part Two: We couldn’t reach Steffen, so Arnie and Susan discuss the how the pork tariff is impacting Iowa, the national Comcast outage and didn’t we bust up Ma Bell’s monopoly because of this sort of thing? Also, the upcoming Texas GOP convention, voting in the NH legislature, and more.
