A GOOD CHRISTMAS STORY -- Just a Minute for Tuesday 12-23-08

            Howdy again –

 

            Well, my good friend Carl B. correctly identified the leader of the March Around the Breakfast Table that used to occur every weekday morning on ABC radio originating out of Chicago on the “Breakfast Club” with Don McNiell. The show didn’t make it on TV… it was better on radio… As a matter of fact I think that most of the old time radio shows were better on radio.  Even I was better on radio – or so they say…  People used to come up to me on the street and say: “You know you have a great face for radio.”

 

            So much for a little bit of humor. A really *little bit* … Today’s program deals with something a bit more serious. Dick Cheney – who’s first job in Washington by the way was to be a Congressman – THE congressman… the only one – from Wyoming.        

 

            Anyway – below you’ll find today’s script and a link to the audio track should you want to hear it. I think that’s working OK now. 

 

            I’m loath to put on political junk news during the Christmas season. We have things that are more uplifting and important I believe to contemplate during this week in December. May I suggest for all you fathers and grand fathers… and even great grandfathers [I’m proud to be in that club now – five qualifiers] that this is an excellent time to gather the family around and even if you know it by heart… read the Christmas story in Luke 2 or Matthew’s account of the Magi. You’ll be making some memories for the children and grandchildren to pass on to their families. You can find no higher calling at this particular time – I believe.

 

            Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

A GOOD CHRISTMAS STORY

Just A Minute – Yesterday I used an AP story -- today looking for A Christmas story I found this from the Washington Times – without comment:

(quote)”The secret mission of President Bush and Vice President Cheney since the 9/11 attack has been to comfort the families of service personnel who died in Afghanistan and Iraq – plus lift the spirits of those wounded in the nation’s service. Both men desired it to be kept secret.

“Mr. Bush has sent personal letters to the families of 4,000 troops who’ve died in the conflicts -- an enormous effort. It was so emotionally draining – the President often leaned on Laura, for support.

“Mr. Cheney often sneaked away from home to visit hospitals and even flew to North Carolina late last month to meet with 500 special-ops soldiers for three hours…  The event was so secretive the local paper didn't learn about it till three days afterwards. The Cheney’s have hosted more than a half-dozen barbecues for wounded troops from Bethesda and Walter Reed hospitals at their Naval Observatory home.” (Unquote)

            I’m making no comment – I just wanted you to know
