I hate to say this...
but I'm watching Robert Reich on MSNBC, and I swear he's a charter member of the Lollipop Guild.

1. check out his book "I'll Be Short"
the man is darn good at economics, though, and explaining them in terms ordinary people can understand.

3. oh, I love him
I think he's brilliant and funny and all-around awesome.

But I just never noticed his voice was so high. He's sitting down on TV, so it's not like his height is an issue. I just had MSNBC on in the background and for the first time noticed his voice.

Thanks for the recommendation - I'd love to read his book.

6. He does a regular thing on NPR
about once a week on the "Marketplace Morning Report", which airs about 6:50 central time here. So I guess Im used to the voice.

and he's been on The Daily Show before, also.

5. What a coarse, crass, assholish thing to say.
I thought the same thing when I saw him speak to a group of finance professionals in DC a few years back.
