CAN BARRY WIN WITH JUST A HAMBURGER? -- Just A Minute Radio for June 22, 2009

            Hello again… it’s Monday…

 

            And we’re off to a good start on the summer. The sun has passed it’s solstice position and is now about 24 hours into its journey to the autumnal equinox… followed by the Winter Solstice…My how wonderfully God has worked these things out so precisely.

 

            There was violence in the streets of Tehran over the weekend. Supposedly yesterday was quiet… but since all the foreign correspondents have been booted out of Iraq we really don’t know – or we have no independent verification. The body count mounted from one to thirteen last time I could count… but I’m suspecting that is not entirely accurate either.

 

            Well… it looks as if this will be the storm before the calm. It will be another big news week…and July will probably be a big news month and then comes August – well then we only have to work with fires, earthquakes, floods, volcanoes and other natural disasters – Congress and the Court will be out of town… so August will be left for “Waterboarding”—Did I say that?  I meant water-skiing!

 

            Since it’s due to be hot today… I need a nap… and you probably do too. Talk with you Wednesday.

 

            Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

CAN BARRY WIN WITH JUST A HAMBURGER?

JUST A MINUTE – The biggest Washington whisper centers on the President plucking Senator  Grassley aside as he left  a White House meeting to gently chide him about being such a tough guy to win over.  By now everyone has heard Grassley calling the President a hammer – while saying he’s no nail!

But the Iowa Ethanol king carefully is laying groundwork for his sixth term in 2012 and while he has angered some talk show hosts and televangelists with threats of investigations he’s presently being carefully stroked by the White House into becoming a hero on health care. That that could derail primary candidates.

The Iowan’s “tough tweet” strategy earned him big stories in the Washington Post over the weekend and even lib-left blogs like Slate – think it would be marvelous to pull Chuck across the aisle since he admits to being good friends with Arlen Specter.  

Can the Obama hide the ball through the August recess and pop it out urging a vote before anyone has a chance to read it?  It’s happened before – just ask Chrysler, GM and the bankers.
