Get your motor running.....head out on the highway!!!

Looking for adventure....and whatever comes our way!

I had that song in my head right as Rick was talking to Inch about getting back on the motorcycle again. I can totally picture Rick riding a motorcycle. Maybe that will be the Hotline poll of the day tomorrow - should Rick get a hog? I'm sure it will generate a lot of response.

So the Canadian government wants to add an amphibious assault ship like the U-S-S Wasp to its fleet? Rick says the cost of it would be 2-billion dollars! Maybe if we want trillions of dollars in debt like the U.S. we should totally look into it! Speaking of the U.S., get this figure: 3,545. That's the number of American soldiers killed in Iraq since the conflict began in March of 2003. A few months ago, that number eclipsed the number of victims killed in 9-11. How incredibly sad is that?

Still no sign of the boys in Lower Sackville. Crews continue to search and the family is there waiting for news. We heard from a family friend on the Hotline today, begging the boys to come forward if they are just afraid to go home. They're trying to keep their spirits up, but that must be so difficult. The waiting must be excrutiating.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another hot topic on the show today was Premier Rodney MacDonald. He's mentioned on the show at least once a day, but the people weren't being kind today, that's for sure!! Quote from Bob: "He flip flops more than a pancake on a hot griddle!" Yikes!! Then there was Rick, fanning the flames of why the Premier won't come on the show with this zinger: "Bob, compared to Rodney, wouldn't anyone look good?" Oh dear. If he did come on the show, I would actually worry about what people would say because the daily comments I hear are obviously, not good.

Fun Hotline fact du jour: a bunch of ducks is called a "paddling" or a "team". A brace is two ducks. I also learned that elks are in a "gang" and emus travel in "mobs"! A caller tried to stump me off the air by asking me what crows travelled in and I promptly replied "murder". See, I told you. My regular trivia skills are pretty damn good, it's just my N.S. trivia level that is extremely below average!

D.D. was kind of fired up today, didn't you think? The polls suggest that if the election were held today, D.D. would be the new Premier. Would you vote for D.D.? Leave your comments or be sure to give us a call tomorrow. Sports during hour number one and then....the Friday free for all!!!

It's the first day of summer and so far, it's not feeling very summer-esque. Let's hope it changes soon!

Have a good one,

Amber

The question is...How does a person like Wocket Wadney loose something like creditabilty, when he never had any from day one?

Wocket Wadney will never come on Rick's show as he is afraid to face his critics.

This is also the reason him and his ministers avoid public meetings.

At public meetings he would have to look at the people in the eye and speak the truth.

Something the Premier and his ministers of the Province of Nova Scotia are just not capable of doing.

As far as Wocket Wadney going on this other talk show because they suck up to him, I believe that. although I have never listened to the show it surly must be true as he never goes anywhere, where he might be critized.

STOP....LISTEN....
off in the distant mountains of the Highlands of Cape Breton
one can hear the world's tinest fiddle playing " Wocket man "
Rodney surely isn't the man the people thought he was at all. Liers never are.
