THEME:   BAG placed amid two-word phrases creating humorous ones
   
GOOD ONES:   
Self-defense overkill?   HANDBAGGRENADE   
Activist grocery clerk?   PAPERBAGPUSHER   
Expanding concern?   OBESITY   
Growing business   FARM   
It may be used to walk the dog   YOYO [walk the dog is a yoyo maneuver]   
Plan to take off   DIET [I thought "depart"]   

BTW:   
I thought this a bit tougher than past Sunday offerings --- or was I a bit more sleepy this morning?

I imagine KEGO is a talk station, but I'm in North Carolina.  I'd go with "Talk radio on your dial."

Direct route to Loserville?   DIRTBAGROAD [if only that were so]

AIRBAG is too close to GASBAG, and "Red wines in autos?" does not seem quite right for AIRBAGPORTS.   
   
   
RATING:    ;D ;D
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
