Rick gave out several of those today. I swear, it was like an alternate universe, it felt like we dished out more praise than scorn today. Did that really happen? Am I dreaming? Did the cayenne pepper gargling put me in some sort of peyote trance?
Speaking of my sore throat home remedy, either my illness has just run its course or gargling warm water with cayenne pepper actually worked. I actually feel like myself today - after two and a half weeks!
Rick gave out the first Hotline tip o' the hat to Justice Walter Goodfellow today for his refusal to accept 6 months incarceration for someone charged with possessing and distributing child porn. Then he gave another tip o' the hat to Halifax Regional Search and Rescue and RCMP for their roles in finding Rita Crowell safe and sound near Hatchet Lake. What a nice moment when we had the nephew of Ms. Crowell on to thank Tony Rodgers for the effort. I admit, I had a small tear! It's nice really refreshing to hear humans going out of their way to do something to help another human. There is a lot of negativity on the show and that story was a very welcome happy ending.
Elizabeth May was on for the first hour and don't you get the impression her and Rick could just chat for hours? She talks the talk and walks the walk man. She left the studio and headed to the train station where she was going to take the train to London, Ontario! That's commitment. She's having dinner with Al Gore! I told her to tell Al we'd love to have him on the Hotline! What was up with Gene today? Tim, on the air, and a few callers off the air called to apologize/complain for/about Gene's abhorrent behavior. I think it's safe to say Elizabeth won that round. She wasn't fazed, trust me. As for the suggestion I was only putting on May supporters on the line - well, we all know that's not true at all.
NDP leader Darrell Dexter will be in the studio tomorrow, so I hope you'll tune in and ask him some questions. Some callers have said DD likes to be in the opposition and doesn't want to be Premier. You'll have your chance to ask him that tomorrow!
Have a great day!

Well now Amber, seeings how I was the only one to talk with Elizabeth this am, other than Gene, I assune from his ignorant approach that I am a supporter of Elizabeth May.
And he is right. I am.
Elizabyth is quite capable of taking care of herself as well.
She is about the only politican I trust and believe.
I would love to be sitting between her and Al Gore at dinner. Now that would be a conversation worth listening to.
Sit back, listen and learn.
Its too bad, as Elizabeth said, that more callers didn't get through. I know of at least 5 others that were trying to get through.
But as she said, she will be back.
I know this is not politicaly correct in saying, but here it is.
Elizabeth has more balls than Peter MacKay, Rodney MacDonald, Cecil Clarke or the very reverned Mark Parent or David Morses. In fact the whole cabinet in Halifax.
Have a great day and don't forget to SMILE.
Not to be completley biased, but I really like EM too. She's so refreshing and intelligent.
Let's hope she's not corrupted by the man!
I never forget to smile!
Cheers,
Amber
