   Whenever Townhall.com catches up, you'll learn two things about the
   The David Strom Show the past two weeks. One, they were both very good
   as I'll discuss below. Two, they were live this Thanksgiving weekend,
   unlike all three acts of the Northern Alliance Radio Network.
   Last week they discussed how and why urban planning like our own Smart
   Growth and Light Rail are such failures. They interviewed Randal
   O'Toole, author of "The Best-Laid Plans: How Government Planning Harms
   Your Quality of Life, Your Pocketbook, and Your Future," which of
   course is newly released and in the [1]Free Market Institute
   Bookstore.
   This week's show featured Neal P. McCluskey, author of "Feds in the
   Classroom: How Big Government Corrupts, Cripples, and Compromises
   American Education," also in the FMI Bookstore. So is Barry
   Castleman's "North Star Rising, Minnesota Politicians on the National
   Stage," the subject of the second hour.
   As is usual for the Stroms, these are more than the shallow read the
   flap interviews typically heard during a book tour. They add insight,
   history, local perspective, and humor to make these enjoyable,
   informative hours.
   Having people like David and Margaret working for us who could
   otherwise so easily live quiet, more comfortable lives are two more
   blessings to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.
