Great guests

I love shows like today. We had two great guests on the show today, two Hotline regulars in fact. We did Hotline house calls during hour number one and that was great. Dr. Gillis is feeling a little more comfortable on the air with Rick and was cracking some jokes today, mainly about Rick's question about buying Viagra on the internet! Enough said on that topic! They talked about the doctor's charity, which scored him an invite to the White House next week. He also hosts a show on Eastlink and during one of the breaks he was extolling the virtues of radio, namely how you can slouch in your seat, look at the ceiling, eat a breakfast sandwich and still have a conversation. It's much, much different on TV!

What did you think of the Peter vs. Fred fight today? It's basically a he said, he said thing but the bottom line is, I guess we're not getting a concert this year. Fred said it was "less than 50 per cent". When we fired the Rodenhiser intro this morning David said "that's the closest that we're coming to a concert this year!" Once again, the Rodenhiser speaks the truth! Check out his column today about Liberal leader Stephen Macneil. Genius!! It's so discouraging that you get some fresh blood into a position and there is still no vision. Sad.

So, get this. The Prime Minister is coming to Halifax and the Premier isn't invited. It's not the first time Harper has done this though. He went to Saskatchewan a few months back and didn't invite Lorne Calvert to the announcement. Expect some subtle (or not so subtle) jabs at Rodney MacDonald. It's the Harper way - vindictive or bust.

Well, it's a great day today but Peter Coade says it's going to be raining for the rest of the week, so enjoy the next 8 hours or so!

Have a great day!

Cheers,
