Reeking of Ben Gay

First off, apologies for those we left waiting on the line at the end of the show...it was so busy and we desperately tried to squeeze everyone in!

I was trying to think about what to call the blog today.....then I had a flashback to something hysterical David Rodenhiser said during hour number one. He and Rick were talking about the new/old political panel on CBC with Jim Nunn and David said "you could smell the ben gay through the television". HA!!!!

I love how Rick and the Rodenhiser completely debunked everything Mike Eddy said after he lost the election. D-Rod (his new hip-hop name) pointed out that the provincial government handed out 4.5 million dollars yesterday in the riding of Halifax-Needham. Hmm.....that's an NDP riding. Mike Eddy is a sore loser, that's the bottom line. The government has been handing out cash to business left, right and centre this week. That's why it smarted so much when we heard Quebec will be funding Avastin. The government needs to do a better job of balancing the needs of the people with the needs of business. Some would argue those are the same things, but c'mon - throw the people a bone! Trust me, Jim Connors isn't going to give up. He's a lawyer, he's an executive, he's going to keep going with this. Perception is everything and the last thing the Tories need is to be painted as business-friendly non-life extenders. They've got an uphill battle in the next election already.

It was a pretty typical Friday - David Rodenhiser and Rick talking to the callers, making some jokes, pointing out the obvious. Then, hour number 2 was something completely new - Rick and his new hip hop friends! Classified and J-Bru were in talking to Rick and I thought it was so much fun! They were great, gregarious guys with lots to say on the topic and I think Rick learned a little somethin' somethin' about hip hop. Maybe I'll make him a mix CD this weekend! It's so true that hip hop with a positive message gets engulfed in the negative media attention gangsta rap gets. It's also true what Classified said about Norwegian Black Metal! Google Norwegian church burnings and you will see what some of these death metal artists are doing in Norway - they are truly frightening! Some are Satanists who believe it is their destiny to destroy Christianity. Seriously, check it out, it makes hip hop seem very passive in comparison.

Well, that's it for me this week. Have an excellent Thanksgiving!!

Talk to you Tuesday!

Cheers,

Amber

Happy Turkey Day Amber.

Well I have to come clean and tell you that I found the show On Friday most boring. Sorry, but I did get bored around the time when some woman was talking about a study on babies or something at Dal. I turned it off at that point...sorry again.

And when the boys talked about Jim Nunn and Peter Code, Well when those 2 came on CBC I changed the channel there as well. very boring....As far as Parker Barass Don-arse goes, a lot of people around here think he is full of shit. I wouldn't believe a thing coming out of that draft dodger's mouth. Did he ever become a Canadian?
He is a hypocrite as well....when he was on the CBC in the past he kept critizing the governments of all levels and then he goes and works for them.
Sound like a lot of the media that do that.

He is , as we call them in CB, an "Arsehole" who is full of himself.

So long as Jim Nunn is on and Peter and Parker are around I will not be watching the CBC news anymore.BORINGGGGGGGG....There was one night I swear Peter didn't know where he was. He couldn't remember Jim's name.

Please bring back Norma Lee...now her I like....

So hopefully Tuesday when I call I can get on. Nothing worse than waiting 45 mins to an hour and then hearing the theme song in the background. Pouting.LOL

I don't mind most times, but when Rick says"hang on Richard , your next, and then3-4 callers later, its a no go....well it is dis-appointing.

Another story on babies by people who may not have children is ridiculous. Let them have a baby and then they have something to talk about.

Like going to a priest for marriage instruction. What the hell is that all about? The priest can't speak as experianced.
Like the Pope preaching birth control.Whattttttt????

A Mike Eddy is a sore looser like all the Tories....they get the sookes real bad when things don't go their way. Bunch of whimps....
