    Sorry about the lateness of this entry – it slipped my mind in this holiday season

    Tuesday’s show started with a discussion of the MA senate race – Martha Coakley v Scott Brown. Both Dick and I were chagrined that Brown has not come out more forcefully as the 41st vote against Obamacare.

    We also talked about Gubernatorial candidate Tim Cahill’s use of nearly $400,000.00 of state money to pay lawyers to defend him against contract rigging allegations concerning the state lottery.

    We talked about the President’s tanking approval ratings (46% strong disapproval), the sharp downward revised GDP and other economic bummers.

    Nevertheless the hour flew by, and some Christmas cheer actually surfaced before we were done.

    Today’s show was really fun. First of all it was election day – the primary to fill Senator Kennedy’s seat. We predicted Coakley (d) and Brown (r) to win and we were right. Dick then went into campaign mode and made the case for a republican taking the seat. Listening to the rest of the media you would have been hard pressed to know 2 republicans were on the ballot.

    Next we moved to Climategate, which I have been talking about for 3 weeks. The story got more complicated right before the broadcast when the UN declared that CO2 is “a danger to human health” thus giving the executive branch the power to regulate without Congress – which of course will be used as leverage to pass Cap and Trade.

    We talked a little about health care and then Dick told me something I didn’t know: Apparently the Obama administration threw Deval Patrick under the bus over the weekend. You will have to listen to see how.

    Enjoy!
