I love that expression and we heard caller Tony use it during the Bruce Devenne hour. He told us he was tired of fence-sitting, mamby pamby politicians who can't make a decision and suggested Sheila Fougere and Sue Uteck were like that. Although I agree with Tony about wishy-washy politicians in general, I hope he's not lumping all female politicians into the "mamby pamby" category. I can come up with a quite a few male names to add to that list too. I'll say it again - you're either a good politician or a bad one, sex has nothing to do with it.
I was chatting with someone about the Guardian Angels yesterday. If Halifax is determined to start a citizens' group, why not let the Guardian Angels train them? They've been in existence for years and that's exactly what it is - a citizens' group made up of volunteers. Why not use the Angels' experience? Am I missing something here?
Rick's "Charles Bronson" Death Wish line cracked up columnist extraordinaire David Rodenhiser today. The Mayor provided a few moments of levity. The following scene was directly out of one of those commercials on T.V. right now, you know, something awkward happened because someone's cell phone lost the connection?
Rick: Hello, Mayor Kelly!
Mayor: Rick, how ya doing today?
Rick: David Rodenhiser is here with me too.
David: Hello, your Worship.
(Silence)
I think David was a little panicked, but it turned out the Mayor was getting another call and doesn't hate David after all! I like how Rick and David immediately delve into the major issues of the day when they get together. First up today - how good donairs taste and the frequency in which they should be eaten. Seriously though, it was a good hour and we look forward to welcoming Dave every Friday to get a jump start on the Friday free for all!
Monday's show is going to be awesome. Dr. Bill Deagle will be in during hour number 2. You hear a lot of conspiracy theories on the Hotline and you're going to hear some doozies on Monday. Be sure to tune in!
Have an excellent weekend! Tomorrow, it's supposed to POUR RAIN, but then get nice for Sunday.
Talk to you Monday,
Amber

Be careful of what you wish for, because your wish may come true! What wish? Bruce Devenne running for council. Bruce may of had most info correct with respect to the Commonwealth Game, but he is opposed to any tax money spent on anything except road, schools or the like. I think he would try to close the Metro Centre because of the debt. Listening to Bruce, I think he is anti-sports. When we have a hockey game or any other program at the World Trade Center and Metro Center, every hotel, restaurant, bar including buses and taxis benefit. This generates taxes at every level of government to boot. Putting on a concert or running a small debt at the Metro Center or other facilities is money well spent. Halifax needs some new councillors, and maybe a new mayor, but they need people with a vision. We do not need more of the "same old", if you know what I mean. You have to spend some to make some. Otherwise, we'll be entertaining ourselves by sitting on our front deck in our rocking chairs, watch time go by.
