Today is a day that I don't want to take the high road but i am going to do my best. Thank you to all the local candidates who ran this year. In this political era it is tough to run for any office, everybody is a target. Thank you for standing up to the bullies. And that is all I have to say about that...for today anyway.

Also.....a lawsuit in RI filed in 2018 by high school students demanding Civics education takes on new signifigance. An award winning photojournalist creates a fake photo book, and nobody noticed it was fake. And, I put my Mr. Media hat on to ponder an all female conservative version of The View. Three words: rehetorical roller derby.

In addition to the big stories, I explain why I chose the theme music I did and about the value of high school socccer games as we all search for quality of life.

Mixed topics with a shout out to my UPS guy for delivering my pastel post it notes in the pouring rain.

27 Million Americans, mostly in "red" states have no access to internet of any kind. If, through your limited access to information, your past fading away and no access to the digital future, how much hope are you going to have? That gap is going to filled with greivence and so much more. That is where we start today's chat.

On this soggy fall Monday I revisit the subject of supply chain based on a question from a listener who asked about food supply. Then in segment 2 I talk about gun safety and Alec Baldwin from the perspective of growing up in a gun house and finally the disgusting way in which The RightWingnut (TM) crowd is more concerned about 'owning libs' than being decent human beings.

DC Comics has announced that the Son of Superman is bisexual, dating a purple haired Asian hacker AND his motto is changing. This is not going over well with folks, We chat about that and wrap up the week with some encouraging words.

Chicago Public Media and the Chicago Sun Times are discussing a merger. This could be the start of a whole new era in local media and better local journalism. I like it!

Large corporations with over a decade of record profits COULD reduce the burden on government by either paying taxes OR paying/supporting their workers in house. That is what I am talking about today and I am FIRED UP!
