National Grouch day

If you're not feeling all that jolly today - don't despair. It's National Grouch Day today, according to the Daily News. Pg. 43 - check it out!

If people are grouchy today, I certainly don't blame them. There are so many things to be grouchy about: Harper, this Excel lunch program at school, the apparent lack of anything written down for this "clarification agreement". Things are so utterly ridiculous, you have every right to be grouchy! I think the only people who should be grouchy are Harper and MacDonald when we boot them out of office! They can commiserate together.

So, city council is going to meet about an issue concerning public meetings in-camera. Huh? Hendsbee called to tell us it was a "non-issue" and something to do with the process, but we'll see. It's actually quite funny when Hendsbee calls because he says "Hendsbee here" in his bombastic Hendsbee voice. I wonder whatever happened with that road in Hendsbee's district where the people were charged for the paving work? Might have to try and get an update on that tomorrow.

Good for the residents of Chebucto road today! They are fighting this asinine plan to widen the road until the bitter end. This plan is so crazy, I can't believe it's going forward. This traffic department - people are complaining about the new roundabout, the Windsor st. exchange is apparently a death trap and now this plan. Anyone else think there needs to be a progressive change at the top?

Also...kudos to the riding association who stepped up and essentially refused to give in to the bully that is Stephen Harper! They're backing Bill Casey until the end. They should all start wearing pink, maybe that will neutralize Harper.

For anyone who wants to try that organic food that's delivered to your house, it's www.hgof.ns.ca. Like I said, I've been doing it for 3 weeks and I love it so far. The food tastes great and it's great to know it's mostly local.

Rick's interview with Leo Swinemar was so entertaining today - a nice, light-hearted way to end the show. Leo talked about his award winning "pit crew" who hollow out his pumpkin and create a seat and the centre of gravity. Leo chose our show to announce his retirement from professional pumpkin racing. After 5 wins in Windsor, he's calling it a career. Rick asked if ABC's Wide World of Sports might be far behind for this champion pumpkin racer! It was a great interview and what a cool event. Apparently, Scott Brison was racing a pumpkin, but he got a hole and it sank and he had to take a boat across the water! Metaphor for the Liberals or what?

We're going to have a great guest in tomorrow, it's going to hilarious and entertaining, you must tune in!!

Have a great (chilly) day,

Amber
