$1 drinks

After listening to the callers and to Superintendent Spicer today, I think I've changed my opinion about dollar drinks. The social cost of this really outweighs any benefit - the only benefit being to the drinker's bank account! It's time to end the dollar drinks, for entire nights, anyway. So, apparently the Palace had said they were opposed to dollar drinks but said they had to offer them to compete with the Dome. Now, the Palace is promoting its dollar drink nights on Facebook! Hypocritical much? I hope we get the manager of the Palace on the phone this week to see what's up. It so unfair that other bars can sell the drinks for a dollar and the Dome can't - there has got to be an even playing field.

Rick mentioned that one of the girls will be appearing in court this Friday to be sentenced for the beating of the lady on the Commons over the summer. As soon as Rick mentioned that she cried in court, I wrote "crocodile tears" and I believe it was caller Phillip who echoed that during his call. They might have had horrible childhoods, but I know a lot of people who have, but they didn't turn into criminals. How about getting some counselling, or here's a concept - SUCK IT UP. If we all acted out because bad things happened to us in our childhoods, there would be complete and total anarchy. I don't have any sympathy for the girls involved; let's just hope there is some sort of actual punishment and not house arrest when they can sit around and play X-box all day. If they truly are remorseful, that's a good thing - let's see if they prove it and make something of themselves.

Speaking of youth crime, Waterville sounds like a real treat, doesn't it? A swimming pool, video games? I'm thinking about booking something all-inclusive....I should check it out.

Anyway, enjoy your day and tune in tomorrow...during the second hour we're going to try to demystify Islam. You've been asking for an hour on the topic - so don't miss it!

Cheers!
