Category: episode 16 - 20 Jan 2010
Guest co-host: Cheye Calvo
This evening, we have two guests. Cheye Calvo will be with us for the first hour. During the second hour, we will have a candidate running for Governor in Vermont on a secession platform. His name is Dennis Steele.
Then, we really need to cover the election in Massachusetts, and touch on the disaster in Haiti. Not to mention a full slate of topics that we've already posted to the website. So, we will add a half hour episode immediately following the regular episode.
We promise you will enjoy this week's shows.
Usually, when someone says their iPhone is a life saver, they are talking about the phone helping them find a good takeout spot or an emergency bathroom.
When Dan Woolley says it, he really means it. He used a medical app saved on his phone to treat a leg injury after the Hotel Montana in Port-au-Prince collapsed around him.
Finally, some common sense on marijuana laws is coming home to Virginia. And, it's coming from a republican, no less! Not only would H.B. 1136 allow doctors to prescribe marijuana as a medicine, but another bill sponsored by delegate - and pharmacist - Harvey Morgan, H.B. 1134, would go a long way toward relegalizing marijuana in the old dominion. Here's what the bill would do, according to NORML:
Was it sheer contempt of the law or a bureaucratic bumble? Whatever happened, the county could be on the hook for nearly $40,000 to replace Kimberley Marshall’s pot.
The 46-year old Los Osos resident filed a claim for damages against Sheriff Patrick Hedges and the county alleging the sheriff’s department unlawfully seized, and then had destroyed, six pounds of medicinal marijuana. If successful, Marshall could be the first medical marijuana patient in San Luis Obispo County awarded monetary compensation for confiscated cannabis.
Peter Garritano thinks it's time for Vermont to call it quits with America.
The way the 54-year-old automobile salesman sees it, the "empire" is about to implode and tiny Vermont can lead the way by becoming its own independent republic. So he's running for lieutenant governor, topping a slate of secession-minded candidates seeking statewide offices this year.
Before the natural disasters of the last decade, a man-made disaster hit Haiti. As the Obama administration responds to this crisis, it should learn from past experience.
A sticky-fingering, meth-snorting cop goes away for awhile, and a trio of jail guards get in trouble.
