"The
water will never clear up 'til you get the hogs out of the creek,"
observes populist commentator Jim Hightower. The outspoken former Texas
Commissioner of Agriculture is still trying to get to the roots of our problems,

live, two-hour call-in program. If you can't pick him up over the airwaves,
this site brings you his show live via RealAudio from noon to 2 p.m. Eastern
time.
Can't find an excuse to be at the computer during those prime work
hours? Then take two minutes to listen to (or read) Hightower's commentaries.
