Plus, we want to know if you met your spouse using the internet; how the Irish and the Saudis are helping to prop up Manhattan real estate prices; a look at Senator Obama's week on the campaign trail, with a call-in for African-American listeners on his candidacy; and we listen live to the Albany D.A.'s press conference on Choppergate.
