Don't think outcome any diffferent, although maybe a bit better. Hugh still Hugh. Just felt I was more relaxed, so we trip over each other less and the exchange is more informal and rapid-fire.
Best sign: half way through I forget I'm on the air and it's just like I'm going back and forth with colleague. That sense of un-self-awareness always welcome, though I gotta watch my... As my Mom puts it, penchant for vulgarities.
So I catch a few "hells" and twist them into "hecks" and stop that "by God" and slap an "sh" on the end instead.
Gotta respect your host on that score. Plus it really is vulgar and reflects spending my entire career of working with military personnel--especially Marines.
We started a bit late due to phone connection difficulties, but I'm sure Hewitt's people made that seem all transparent to listeners. Can't be first time.
As I indicated to Hugh, I'm enjoying this a lot. Feels a bit like a VH-1 segment, because I wrote this book over 4 years ago!
Then again, that just makes me all the more proud. Can't ask for more than a book that ages well...

Many thanks for the Hewitt series. Great stuff!
Seems to me, the "2007 Heritage Foundation/The Wall Street Journal 2007 Index of Economic Freedom" in yesterday's WSJ is a great illustration of who's in and who's out of the core.

Sorry that I have not had a chance to comment until now, but I can hear Dr.Barnett getting better at this medium with each appearance on the Hewitt show.
Whatever my differences with some of the policy prescriptions, America will be a better and stronger place if more people are looking at the world through Barnett colored glasses.
