Fun With Dick & Jane

Jay Fleitman, candidate for the republican nomination for the congressional seat for the 2nd district in MA was our guest for the entire hour. He’s a physician so a lot of the conversation was about health care legislation and tort reform. We also talked about spending, taxes, entitlements, Afghanistan, Iraq and the people’s anger at the federal government. Jay promises to be responsive to the people if elected, which as all you listeners know is one of my major issues.

We have a new producer at WESO and she and I haven’t quite figured out how to get the podcast into uploadable form. My apologies to Jay. Once we get the kinks worked out I’ll invite him to come back again.

Speaking of which, don’t forget to check out my newest venture: You Too Congress. If it is good enough for us, it’s good enough for You Too Congress!

Today’s show was really fun. I had expected to interview Jay Fleitman who is running for the republican nomination for the 2nd Congressional District in Massachusetts, but I had the wrong week. So Joe and I just talked politics.

First we have a new theme song – Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5, which has absolutely no relevance to anything but is fun. Secondly I think I’ve got the podcast to 2 segments instead of 4. Let’s hope.

Joe and I talked Scott Brown, SOTU address, budget, debt, debt and more debt, the Virginia’s legislative victory (democrat) which makes it illegal to mandate health insurance (thus sticking a fork in any hope for resurrecting health care) NASA, Nancy Pelosi and affirmative action.

Meanwhile, I have a new project with some friends called YOU TOO CONGRESS which you can see here. We are pre-launch while we work out the bugs, but feel free to poke around. Congress gives itself a lot of perks on our dime and excludes itself from a lot of obligations. Our goal is to point those things out, which should lead to voting them out.

One can hope.
