Eating cheesies on the couch!!!!

That's what caller Scott accused AJ of doing during the sports hour this morning!! He called up and said he had a problem with the sports show, because AJ was on. So AJ told him he could outthrow him anyday and Scott responded by saying AJ has the co-ordination of his 3 year old! All Rick and I could do was sit back and howl with laughter as AJ went on the offensive. So apparently they are going to have some sort of "sport off". Rick and I have our money on Scott!

That call started off the show, which was a complete whirlwind of activity, thank you so much for the calls!!

We launched a Hotline phone assault against a Miramichi high school today. It's the school that suspended a Grade 9 teacher after he sent a student to the office for not standing up for O Canada. Unbelievable. We hope you gave them a (polite) earful when you called. It's a poll question today too, so be sure to vote!

The Liberal leadership convention goes this weekend at the Sportsplex. Dave Rodenhiser from the Daily News will be covering it, so be sure to check out his columns this weekend. It's interesting to read the online polls on both papers' websites. The overwhelming feeling seems to be apathy from Nova Scotians. But they do have around 14-hundred people going this weekend, so it should be interesting. I'm sure we'll have the winner on Monday's show. Who do you think it will be? I know MacNeil is the frontrunner (and DR's guess), but I think Diana Whalen might pull it out. It all depends on the speeches tonight. As Paula Lunn told us, the first voting results are expected around 11:30 tomorrow morning.

Rick described himself as "calm, cool and collected" today. Thoughts?

Well, I have to go grab some lunch before it starts pouring rain.

Have an excellent weekend - see you Monday!

This particular phone assault was ill considered in my view.

Subsequent news reports have the school board claiming the "suspension" was not in response to the anthem incident.

There are always at leasty two sides to a story. Knee jerk reaction to one side of it is not fair
