This Wednesday on The Gary Snyder Show…

I’ll be making my return to The Gary Snyder Show on 1400 WBAT this Wednesday at 5:35 PM.

Fight Like a RINO (Why I’m Dropping Out of the Presidential Race)

Yeah, so I’m done with the Presidential race. I’ll vote for our nominee, but as far as investing any of myself in the primaries, I’m out.
