(Here's what we hope will be a new daily feature here on the Official Brooklyn GOP Radio Blog. Those loyal listeners know about "Crack Staff", our slightly-off-kilter producer who knows more about NY Politics than anyone. What you don't know is that he is a 24-7-365 newshound who sends emails out daily to all of us on the show to get us primed to discuss matters on air.

Graphic to come tomorrow! - GB)
