We are going to the dogs today with John O'Hurley, actor, singer, comedian on TV, in film, and on stage.  And he’s an author and composer.  You know him as J Peterman from Seinfeld.  You saw him on Dancing with the Stars.  But he also hosts the National Dog Show that comes up on Thanksgiving Day.  Plus he has another book coming out about dogs.  Let’s say hello to John O’Hurley.

I know I am a broken record at times.  But most of us don’t realize that the solutions to our fiscal and debt problems are already laid out.
It’s called the Simpson Bowles Plan.  The official name is National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform.  Google Simpson Bowles PDF and you can read it there.
The Commission was headed up by former Republican Senator Alan Simpson and former Democratic White House advisor Erskine Bowles.
It lays out a plan for spending, taxes, and entitlement reform.  Since most politicians won’t pay attention to it – because it will hurt many special interest groups – it is up to the people to push for this.
It is essential to our survival as a country.
And it will help us all individually too – in the long run.
Let’s bring in our Informed Not Inflamed financial expert Hugh Anderson – coming to us from Las Vegas.

The city of Boston celebrated the Red Sox world series win with the traditional parade through the city.  The Duck Boats took the players around as millions came out.

This is what we call Red Sox Nation.  So what is Red Sox Nation really?

The World Series begins this week.  The St. Louis Cardinals play the Boston Red Sox.
These are by the records the two best teams in baseball.  But they’re different from the teams of the 1990s and the early 2000s.  Are we seeing baseball go through some changes – due to the new economy?
