This morning I was surprised to hear someone on 560 AM who is not a neocon, but a non-interventionist and localist critical of both imperial misadventures in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Nor did he think the bailout helped the average American. It is, rather, beneficial only for the rich. He also talked about the growing gap between the rich and the poor.
