I've been married a really long time and have (at least) three children. You can hear me hosting the news talk show 'Dan Land.' It's pretty lucky that my name is Dan. That definitely helped me land the gig. "Welcome to Dan Land, this is Dave," just doesn't have the same ring to it. Tune in to hear the latest on the local political scene or when you want to save money, as I'm also the host of Value Connection: Your Store On the Radio.

Dan Foley’s Hurley Workout on WJRT
Had a great work out this morning with the 3 Ton Challenge group at Hurley Health and Fitness Center. TV 12's Marc Jacobson did a couple of exercises for show while the camera was on. The rest of us were human props, sweating our behinds off in the back ground the entire time at 15 grueling exercise stations laid out by trainers Duffy and Krystal. Nurse R...
Eating Donuts and Losing Weight
My quest to lose weight in Hurley Health and Fitness Center's 3 Ton Challenge continues. One hears that it is not good to deprive oneself while trying to lose weight. To do so is to set oneself up for failure, or, more precisely, for falling off the wagon after one has succeeded. What one is ...
Thomas Smith
This morning before the Value Connection, I got a telephone call from Jonathan Smith. Jon hosts a show on WFNT, "I Can Build That," a fun home improvement show that airs Saturday mornings from 10 to 11. His wife Mary, and son Jacob try to keep him on track. At firs...
Donut Diet and the 3 Ton Challenge
Had my first weigh-in since the initial one for the "3 Ton Challenge," at Hurley Health and Fitness Center. My donut diet seems to be paying off; down almost 4 pounds, to 237.8.
(If you look closely at the picture, you'll see that I wiped off the frosting. Pl...
Before Hurley Health and Fitness 3 Ton Challenge [PHOTO]
About six years ago, I entered the "DJ Diet Challege" sponsored by Hurley Health and Fitness Center. (I edged out WHNN's Blondie, and WWCK's Andrew Z, losing 12 pounds.) It spurred me on and I lost about 50 pounds total. It turns out, if you eat better and less, and work out, you lose weight. Easier said ...
Mackinac Center Guests on Today’s Show
With Brenda off today, we were joined by two guests from the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, Patrick Wright and Russ Harding. See what we talked about on the show below:
Obamacare Toasted
I hope you like your universal health care toasted. Because that's how the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia has prepared it. Apparently, the court thinks it's unconstitutional for the government to mandate the purchase of health care insurance.
“They got more than they can handle.”
Democrats are apparently angry (I think it's mostly pretend) that President Obama "caved" to the Republican demand to extend the Bush tax cuts to everyone. Both parties agree on extending the middle class tax cuts. They disagree over whether or not they should be extended to the "wealthiest" Americans.
