Boston T. Party (Ken Royce) in the 2nd Hour - But first...Obama comes to Phoenix (again) and is greeted with peaceful armed people. I bet everyone is polite today :) But then,... there are always the agent provocateurs. This is one good reason for so many video cameras and our doing the radio show live from the event.

The blare of megaphones rose with the sun in downtown Phoenix Monday as more than 1,000 protestors from all over the political spectrum called for President Barack Obama to take action on myriad issues.

The largest crowds swelled at Washington and Third streets, just outside the Phoenix Convention Center, where the president began delivering his speech shortly after 10 a.m. at the national Veterans of Foreign Wars convention.

Three men were indicted on charges of being responsible for five corporate data breaches in a scheme in which the card numbers were stolen from Heartland Payment Systems, 7-Eleven Inc and Hannaford Brothers Co, federal prosecutors said in a statement.

A banking system loaded down with hundreds of billions of dollars worth of unrecognized bad debt �" Japan in the 1990s? No, it’s the United States today.

Banknotes from more than 30 cities in five countries, including the United States, Canada, Brazil, China, and Japan, had "alarming" evidence of cocaine use in many areas.

8 pilots violated airspace restrictions that were put in place because of President Barack Obama's visit, according to Federal Aviation Administration officials.

There were 7 violations Sunday and 1 this morning within the restricted area, which encompassed a roughly 30-mile radius around Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, according to FAA spokesman Ian Gregor. The restrictions were in effect Saturday through today.

Make that under Wisconsin. Because the Earth is round, anyone wishing to send an object in a straight line from one spot on the planet to another spot 500 miles away must aim through the planet itself.

Here's where the really weird physics kick in: Neutrinos blast right through the Earth with nary a spark. They interact so rarely and so weakly with normal matter that they can zip right through solid rock as though it were not even there -- much like light through a clear glass window. That's why, contrary to the hopes of some private contractors who heard about a big new experiment under construction, Fermilab does not need to dig a tunnel underneath Wisconsin.

Mullen traveled to Kabul in April to confront McKiernan. The chairman hoped the commander would opt to save face and retire, but he refused. 

You're going to have to fire me, he told Mullen.
