Open Air Broadcast For March 20, 2008

For those who missed yesterday’s show, I’ll provide an audio player at the end of this post so you can listen or download it to your computer to listen later.

This show is actually light and full of things to make you laugh, so I don’t have a lot of links to resources to give you that I used during the show. Let me provide the highlights and a few of the resource links.

There’s a repeat of “The Obamaman Can” music audio that I’ve played in the past that for anyone who may have missed it, it’s there. Also, a reader and friend sent me the link to an audio that I found to be funny and contagious. Supposedly it takes place in the Dallas, Texas - Ft. Worth area. A guy on his way to an appointment calls his friend or roommate to let him know he is running late. Right after he reaches his friend’s voice mail, he witnesses a car accident right in front of him in the middle of an intersection. A man runs a red light and crashes into a car load of old women. What ensued is hilarious. Worth listening to a few times because things happen so fast you can’t take it all in.

Have you noticed these days that anger and insults seem to be the norm? In our everyday, we run into people who think it is commonplace to flip you off, call you names using mostly four-letter words, and mostly embarrass themselves in showing their own ignorance because they lack a certain skill in insulting someone sometimes without them realizing what you just did.

Not that many years ago, people had to employ a clever use of the English language in order to insult someone. The end result was probably more effective without the used of the common and vulgar words common today.

I share a list of statements made by some of the world’s best at manipulating the language. As and example, Samuel Johnson once said, “He is not only dull himself; he is the cause of dullness in others.” Listen in and get the whole list. You’ll want paper and pen handy so you can write them down.

And not to let you off the hook from global warming, I wanted to share some information just released by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory of results of robots monitoring of the oceans’ waters. You might find the results interesting. That information can be found at this link.

The last portion of the show is dedicated to the discussion of District of Columbia vs. Heller.

I think you’ll enjoy the show.
