Good morning to you Ken. And waking up to the news today, the headlining story was... the american election... in Norway. Hmmm, the Swedish election (our country next door) has never been of equal interest here, or the Danish, or the Icelandic, or the Finnish... I wish we could get some interesting american news, like Zappa, Elvis, Belushi and Joey Ramone - still alive!

We had a funny bit in the news about election judges making people fill out paper ballots with a stylus. He insisted it was invisible ink, and even when the ballot checker noted it was blank, he overrode it. It wasn't fraud, just stupidity.

Wed. 2/6/08 11:13am

Is that a trick question? As in, the Soviet Union no longer exists, so the answer would be "zero", right?

Well, as long as we're coming clean, I turn WFMU off when, at work, my boss walks into my office, or when, at home, my more mainstream-oriented spouse complains that she is tired of hearing what sounds like small animals being tortured.

Enough of the "mention" nonsense already! I only listen to WFMU when they play James Taylor - IE never. Hence I am a first time caller - Love the show. BTW I don't wear headphones on the air (I do chew gum) so I dont even listen the one hour in the week that I could (WEDS 6-7PM) but you should.
