We talked about Christmas shopping and the state's desire to put a 17 cent tax on grocery bags. I think Christmas shopping is good. Taxes, on the other hand ... not so much.

This edition of the �Worst of Dialog� (Volume 4) featured some great clips from over the years (some of which I'm uploading seperately as �sound bites�). Included are: my anti-Thanksgiving tirade from 2003; a bit with Don Hobel trying to �Bill Clinton� me (same clip as Vol 2); a woman who said I talk to much, am juvenile, and aren't a good host like JR Reid was (also available on Vol 2); the off-air portion of my interview with Lyndon LaRouche; a converstation between fireman Tom Lupo and me; a little tirade I had against my former employer Greater Niagara News; my �Living in America/I have a scream/SOTU remix�; a bit with a woman who says I don't pay taxes because I rent (I ended up cutting the woman off); the �Am I gay� clip; my smackdown of O'Reilly sit-in John Gibson; and we end with George Bush's �Slow Brain.�

Niagara Falls Reporter writer and author Frank Thomas Croisdale appears in studio to talk up his new book, Buffalo Soul Lifters.

Scott brings up some topics that just ... frustrate you ... in a confusing sort of way.

County Legislator Aronow in studio.

Poor audio quality. Sorry.

Niagara County Manager Greg Lewis. He and Al Wroblewski got in a pretty heated exchange in this episode.

We discuss Yasser Arafat's death.

This show starts late. Sorry. Ends with Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA," which many people use as a "patriotic" song. It really isn't. Listen to the lyrics, folks.

We continued the "mandate" conversation from the day before - plus we discussed the president's "political capital." The town of Centerville Maine dissolves. Can we do that?

We discuss the conclusion of the presidential election. I pick on Sean Hannity ... for using the word "mandate" and for cherry-picking election results. I note that Kerry got more votes than Ronald Reagan. Man, conservatives hate that.

We reviewed the election "results," talked a lot about Ohio. Took LOTSA phone calls. A couple dems still had hope that Kerry could "pull it out."

Scott was going through what states would vote for who ... and taking phone calls ... and accidentally spilled water on the console ... resulting in a 14 minute lapse in the show, during which live listeners were subjected to Barry Manilow and other poor music (you've been spared the torture).

This was the peoples' last chance to get the word out for/against whatever candidate they so chose.
