The unmaking and making of Roger Hedgecock
About 6 months ago or so , I read a blurb that he had been hired as a news co anchor at something called America's Radio News Network . I have no idea where to find this "network"— March 9, 2013 6:55 a.m.
San Diegans in their 20s don't make enough for rent
It is his fellow Frenchman Thomas Piketty of whom you speak. My wife frequently reads a couple of French periodicals and has commented on his work on many occasions.— March 7, 2013 8:27 a.m.

San Diegans in their 20s don't make enough for rent
What he specifically said was the top 1 percent of households by income captured 121 percent of all income gains between 2009 and 2011 and in doing so became 11.2 percent richer while the bottom 99 percent got 0.4 percent poorer. His paper also noted that during the Great Recession, from 2007 to 2009, average real income for the bottom 99% also fell sharply by 11.6%, while the average real income for the top percentile fell even faster, at a 36.3 percent decline, with the top 1% absorbing 49% of income losses from 2007 to 2009. BTW, in 2011 Emmanuel Saez base pay was $277,175.01 and his total compensation at Berkeley was $68,850.58. Records are not available for 2012.— March 6, 2013 10:29 p.m.

Don Bauder Whatever you say . You're the one who brought up Stalin and Hitler and my only reference to the massacre of people was that the Shah of Iran didn't execute hundreds of thousand of his own people before being driven onto exile as Amin did and because of that, I wouldn't liken his actions to those of Amin.— March 6, 2013 10:11 p.m.

Don Bauder, Your reference to Hitler and Stalin is irrelevant to these comments. I don't seem to recall either Stalin or Hitler pilfering millions and fleeing into exile, which was my comment. In fact, even your comment "Despots get a big head -- and then it gets chopped off." doesn't apply as since we all know, Hitler committed suicide and Stalin died after suffering a heart attack, while still in power, I believe.— March 6, 2013 4 p.m.
Frank Zappa
The CD was released in December. It's the vinyl that coming out and most of the sites I look at show April 9 as a release date.— March 6, 2013 3:50 p.m.
The unmaking and making of Roger Hedgecock
http://www.talkers.com/top-talk-radio-audiences/ As of right now, the digital edition is still last weeks', Feb. 28th. I imagine the above link is the origin of the list. Though I don't listen very little to talk radio, I am familiar with more half of those from the above link and must admit that I find myself somewhat surprised that you are not. One million plus listeners per week may not seem like much when compared to Limbaugh or Hannity; that wasn't the point of my original comments in the other column. It was that in 2009, he was making $300k in syndication on Radio America and that 4 yrs later he was still popular successful enough to remain in syndication on Radio America. Nothing else was implied. Not that he was a "smash hit", more successful than the gas bags you mentioned, nor anything else. Simply that he was making $300k in syndication in 2009 and 4 yrs later was still in syndication. One final though. While $300k is a nice chunk of change, when compared to what some of the others make, it wouldn't exactly call it a "big slug of money ". By comparison, Rush Gasbag, whose audience is some 13x that of Hedgecock, makes $38million per year, not including his $100millon "signing bonus", more than 126 times Hedgecock's $300k big slug-o-money. So is the Gasbag over compensated or is Hedgecock under compensated. I guess that depends upon ones pov.— March 6, 2013 1:20 p.m.

Don Bauder, I don't recall any adulation directed towards the Shah. I agree completely with you in terms of his thievery. However, as dispicable as his actions were, I would in no way compare him with someone who made off with several hundred million, if not more AND ordered the massacre of possible as many as 500K of his own people.— March 6, 2013 12:49 p.m.
The unmaking and making of Roger Hedgecock
Don, Bauder, Whatever you say. Your sarcasm leaves me underwhelmed. I suppose "meaningful" is just as subjective as successful. I usually read the digital edition and don't recall such a chart in last weeks issue. However, it's entirely probable that I missed it amongst all of the fake boobs, sculpted butts and unnaturally white teeth adverts.— March 6, 2013 11:43 a.m.
