Fun With Dick & Jane

Joe Mangiacotta joined us today from Money Matters. He is taking over the 6-9AM spot on WESO starting net week. He plans to concentrate on local talent and talk about all things financial. I’ll be joining him next Monday at 8:00 AM for the kickoff.

WE started out discussing the awarding of the Nobel Prize to President Obama. Dick fantasized that the award went to the entire nation for its greatness. Joe and I laughed a bit too hard at that notion. We all agreed that a re-gifting was in order.

Health care was next as we awaited the vote in the Senate Finance Committee. Once again Dick complained about the cost of his drugs, and once again I reminded him that cost would not be going down as President Obama made a deal with the drug companies – they paid him off in exchange for no price regulation.

WE had an interesting discussion about the “Nanny State”. First on the list was the 6 year old cub scout who was given 45 days in reform school for bringing a spork to school. (Apparently late last night he got a reprieve.) WE went on to the potential ban on sports fishing – both Joe and Dick agreed that banning sports fishing would bring on revolution faster than anything. And we briefly discussed the proposed ban on hamburger and the fact that Larry King devoted a show to discussing the pros and cons.

WE discussed the White House war on Fox News and the gays – and much much more. Enjoy!
