Wednesday, Wiley Miller was our guest. Wiley, as you may know, is the artist behing Non Sequitur, but he was on to discuss his new book, "Lucy and Danae." I enjoyed interviewing him ... and overall enjoyed the show.

A writer on the forum wrote this great little poem about our illustrious congressman, Tom Reynolds. It was so good, I had to read it aloud for the live audience. Here it is.

Monday was a slacker kind of day, but Scott wanted to discuss the planned closure of the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station - what with the BRAC Commission in town and all. Took some calls on the topic. Show was ... well, it was kind of shaky. Not my best. Sorry. I'll try harder next time.

It was Mike Tucker's turn in the hotseat Friday (photo, left), but he graciously split his time with John Cooper (photo, right) from the Niagara Military Affairs Council. Tucker and I mainly talked about Main Street ... and of course, John Cooper and I talked about saving the Niagara Falls Air Base.

Thursday we discussed the idiocy of having an amendment to the Constitution to outlaw flag burning. A few callers disagreed with Scott's position that while it may be dumb to burn the flag, the government shouldn't regulate stupidity. Some argue that burning the flag is an act and therefore isn't "speech." Scott disagrees, believing the founding fathers were smarter than the majority of us now - and understood that speech can take many forms. Side note: While we're talking about respecting the flag, I got a call Thursday afternoon pointing out that the Confederate Flag (which Scott abhors) was being property displayed ... in a Route 31 garbage can. Note Old Glory waving in the background.

George Landrith from Frontiers of Freedom talked with Scott about the Dick Durbin situation. Then we took several phone calls on the topic. Good interview. Good show. Good golly Miss Molly. :)

Jim Haid came out to talk about Group Workcamps, a great organization that gets kids to come fix up Lockport. After the break, we opened things up and mainly talked about Dick Durbin. A caller tried to slam Durbin ... but it didn't work out that way. (hint: feel free to disagree with Scott, just make sure you can think on your feet)

Monday's show started slow ... but heated up. We talked about everything from Lockport's water to Dick Durbin. Download. Enjoy. Repeat.

We started with a monolog by Scott about the situation with the Newfane Superintendent's contract. Jim Mills (the Superintendent) called to correct Scott on some issues ... and then when Scott asked him some questions, Mills bolted. Numerous calls followed about the Newfane district. Overall, a very good show.

The Niagara County manager took some good phone calls and answered some good questions. We talked about the problems in Erie County and I asked him directly if we test for plutonium in the drinking water. He didn't know but said he'd find out.

The folks from the Niagara County Chapter of Primary Challege sat in studio on Tuesday. Jean Latona, president of the Niagara County group (left) explained that they had two candidates in the NC; A candidate for Sheriff who she brought along, named Gary Hayes (center), and a candidate for the 2nd legislative district who was unable to attend. Hayes spoke at length and got a couple of oddly critical calls (can you say plant?). But he didn't need them to derail him. He did a good enough job on his own, making a few interesting gaffes. Lenny Roberto, founder of the group (right), said the Erie County chapter is going great and they're almost assured a victory or two come September (the primary) and then likely November (the general election). This is a must listen for political junkies ... especially for that "what not to say on the radio" part of your campaign. Enjoy.

Legislator Aronow was hit with good questions right from the beginnning of the show. We talked about Niagara County's water supply (is there Plutonium in it? - Glenn's checking). We also discussed his opponent, casino money and that grundler we've heard so much about. Glenn's always entertaining ... and Friday was no different.

Continuing with a theme for the week, we discussed the hazardous crap at Starpoint. Annemarie Reeb was in studio to discuss what they know about Starpoint and what they don't know. Several phone calls toward the end of the show.

After a quick "Swiftboat Nazi" call, we got right back to talking about the nasty crap that's in the water ... the air ... and the ground. Overall, a good show.

Tuesday's show was quite serious. Let me sum it up. Some people in the scientific community believe that there may be Plutonium in the drinking water in Lewiston ... and believe that Niagara County is a hazard to your health. I talked with Lou Riccuiti (pictured) and Dr. Janette Sherman about the findings and what it all means.

Typical Slacker Monday. I prepared for nothing and yet was ready for anything. Well, don't ya know this guy calls with a doom and gloom prediction and says Lockport's the pits and never will improve. The callers didn't stand for it. He got ripped. And good. Fun comments.

On Friday, Tom hosted Dialog while Scott took a vacation day to catch up on doing nothing. Tom fielded a bunch of calls on a variety of topics and heard from some friends we haven't heard from in a while, including Al - who said he won't call me until I appologize. To quote George Bush the elder: "Na Ga Doit. Wouldn't be prudent."

LCTV Host and all-around good guy Tom Christy co-hosted Thursday's show. We talked about the Confederate flag a little more; (Tom isn't really writing a book called: "Slavery - It Was Good for the Slaves." We made that up); Deep Throat; John McCain and other fun stuff. Download. Enjoy. Repeat.

Wednesday started where Tuesday left off. More thoughts on the flying of the Confederate flag. I say it's offensive. Other's feel differently. The last caller on this podcast actually tries to defend slavery of all things. Imagine that. A Dialog first, I assure you. Other topics on this podcast, the ACLU (good) and DeepThroat (also good). Enjoy.

Tuesday we did "Slacker Tuesday" since there was no Monday show ... and Scott discussed something that irritated him: Confederate flags. He just doesn't get it. Do people not know what the Confederacy stood for? Or do they not care? Why not display a Nazi flag? Same basic tone, right? Some interesting phone calls. No one outright stood up for the Confederate flag fliers ... but a few people backhandedly did. Enjoy.
