Good Evening Mr.Williams, a fine broadcast this evening as always.

First of all the report by Mr.Costello about the banning of texting while driving to be implemented in all 50 States. So many innocent lives have been lost on the roadways due to distracted drivers and perhaps the ban on texting will save more lives. Young drivers especially have been distracted while texting and as a result getting involved in accidents. The NTSB and other Federal Government agencies are not going to win any popularity contests with people, but the ban in all 50 States can save thousands of lives on the roadways. Making sure everyone is safe.

Hearing from all the political reporters tonight starting with Mr.Todd presenting the latest poll numbers along with Mr.Hart, Mr.Gregory and Andrea Mitchell is showed how the majority of Americans are angry and frustrated with the course of the nationand believe it is going in the wrong direction. Especially, a below average or worst rating on Congress.

It will be interesting how the campaign trail of the Republican party will play out and as Mr.Hart stated "expect the unexpected" regarding a possible third candidate. Time will tell.

Interesting to hear the recordings of Alexander Graham Bell.

The piece by Janet Shamlian showing the US Troops returning home from Iraq at Fort Bliss was wonderful to see. All the families being reunited was great and knowing they can spend the holidays together too. Always a happy scene.

Thank You for the broadcast Mr.Williams. Peace to You and to All!

Be Well Everyone!

Stay Extra,Extra Safe and Well Richard!

Take Extra,Extra Good Care Richard and Crew!

    Brian, This afternoon I was reading an AOL article about Canada formally dropping out of the KYOTO, and it

    came to me with President Obama's poll numbers being down that the president could still get bipartisan

    support in Congress on climate action. I may be tripping, but at this moment it makes sense to me. Phyllis

      Well the voters made their decision in 2010 and we're getting what we voted for. Speaker Boehner has to get that pipe line built because Law Makers have been paid and lots of pork added to assure Law Makers get re elected to help the new President pass his policies. Even unemployment weeks will be cut. President Obama can fight all he wants for the Middle Class and poor for that tax break but making sure the Wealthy are still getting their tax breaks. Now it's show time as the President said no one will leave for the holiday and Speaker Boehner and the GOP could careless as he's not in charge. Gingrich is in the lead and looks forward to becoming President and getting his policies passed. Grover Norquist has already got enough votes as many State have passed bills disinfranchising voters and even the few employed voters will have to vote GOP to keep their jobs. Reducing the number of voters who might vote for Obama worked for Bush in Florida and Ohio with the fixed voting machines, denying voters and even millions of voter ballots lost. What might be a problem is with all the soldiers home they can vote while before they were denied while overseas.

      Sandusky will likely get off because a jury needs to fine him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and right now the push is for that doubt.

      Interesting article about woman being more healthy/happy working. Law Makers are pushing policies to repeal women's rights as they feel woman belong in the home and submissive to their husbands as Michele Bachmann said. We see the front running for President in the GOP even feels marrying your mistress isn't a problem. Senator McCain did the same thing and voters love him. Senator Bachus joined the group as he dumped his wife and finally married his mistress. Soon women will be asked to walk 10 feet behind their husbands and speak when spoken to.

      South Carolina polls have Gingrich witha large lead as President. As many have said Gingrich is the type of man who respects what America stands for and the Christian values this country represents. A fake Historian yet people hold on to every word. Gingrich taught Fannie/Freddie how to bring the collapse of the housing crisis and even got paid 1.8 million for his guidance. Most Americans praise Gingrich's idea to put lazy poor kids to work as janitors and even putting those lazy poor 5 year olds to work.

      Even Dick Cheney came out after seeing the end of occupation in Iraq and is pushing for Law Makers to attack Iran. Halliburton worked closely with many countries with Dictators and even in countries called Axis of Evil. A Law was passed that no US company could do business with enemies of the USA. Yet during the same time thousands of employees are working in the same countries as they are doing today in Iran. Military families are glad President kept his promise after being lied to for 8 years. Law Makers are upset now because their Contract friends wont get those big dollars. Ted Koppel visited Iraq as he reported the pull out. I was so glad Mr. Koppel said what many Americans knew as the USA wasted 1 Trillion dollars in the Iraq invasion with nothing to show for it as it was all about control of Iraq Oil fields. Little by little the truth comes out and in time we will learn the part the Saudi Government played in the 9/11 attack. With the focus on Bin Laden few remember the attackers were Saudi's. The fake story of Bin Laden in a cave worked well as he must have been laughing while watching US news as Bush closed the search for Bin Laden. If McCain had won the election in 2008, Bin Laden would still be alive watching the US news of today. The Bush Administration was smart to get cooperation from major stations Executives and we did see many of the respected Journalist/Reporters leave because they wouldn't report the fake propaganda. Leadership honesty starts at the top and that when we the people get fair/balanced news. Trust is hard to get but easy to loose and this is a lesson for all.

      have a great evening all
