Jay Severin puts himself on the White House’s enemies list
In a shocking turn of events, Jay Severin said something on the radio last week that made me think, “That can’t be right.” And again, don’t forget the White House enemies list.

Jay Severin can’t figure out a milk carton
Another example of Jay Severin’s sub-standard reasoning skills: Today Jay said he had been looking at a decoration on a milk carton that said “No Artificial Growth Hormones.” From this, he came to two conclusions: Artificial growth hormones are bad for you.
