Margaret Grey came on praising a New York City elementary school teacher who admitted in a September 7th blog that she had worked as a prostitute. It takes a certain kind of tough woman to do that in the name of supporting herself so she can be a teacher some day. Not a bad role model for other young women, said Margaret. When Phil asked her how she'd feel about a life like that for any daughter of hers Margaret told him "Well of course that wouldn't be for my daughter. I can't have that given the time I spend exposed in the media. But for other women's daughters I think it's a great opportunity. The next hour it was Professor Emory Clayton who told Phil it's racist for a white man to hang a black effigy from his tree on halloween but it's not for a black man to hang a white one. The reason? All ghouls and goblins are white. "Dracula was a white man," says Professor Clayton.

It was a 2 hour, Professor Don Micksa extravaganza tonight as the good professor discussed 11 year old Tyler Wilson with Phil, the boy who got beat up by bullies at school because he wants to be a cheerleader. Don told Phil that of course he would support any child in their endeavors but why don't kids consider the consequences of their actions. Boy cheerleaders are in the unfortunate situation of being able to degrade women. "You through a female cheerleader up in the air and she lands on your finger," said Don. And, of course, the parents of boy cheerleaders are not immune. As one caller put it "I'm sorry you live in a town where you run the risk of being hit with rotten fruit from a passing car."

Tonight on the Phil Hendrie Show a local musician, Jeff Dowder, tells Phil his Twitter account, Jeff Dowdder, will get him a TV deal the same way "Shit My Dad Says" and "Shhh..Don't Tell Steve" got their creators TV deals. Jeff plays the drums in a beach band and gives drumming lessons to kids, often asking them to perform difficult technical patterns that they have a hard time with and then tweeting that the kids are drumming like they just "stepped into a puddle of water with a high-tension line laying in it." The following hour Pastor William Rennick questioned whether such things as peanut allergies really exist or whether they are the by-product of Americas fascination with holistic and new age healing. Pastor Rennick thinks much of it is in the mind of the sufferer. When told of one woman being allergic to sesame oil he said "Now you gonna tell me people are allergic to Chinese food?"

"Best Of" on the radio...

Tonight, we welcome on Bob Green from Frazier Foods. How does Bob deal with dead beat's using Frazier Foods credit accounts? He contracts with Financial Foundation & Reclamation, a collection agency that doesn't muscle people. They simply say "If you were to die, say, within 48 to 72 hours from now, your children would assume your debts. Do you want that?" Some people though take that as a threat. "If they do, they do. It's not a threat but if it gets them to pay their bill, then what the hell...." Later, Lloyd Bonafide called to complain that those ASPCA commercials on cable about abused animals are irritating and even provoked him into kicking his dog and "flicking" a cat over his fence into a neigbors yard. In fact, the sight of a "flying cat" caused his neighbor, a widow with a nervous condition, to "flee her house through the front door, her robe flowing in the wind." It develops that this woman has suffered the nervous condition since her husband committed suicide some years before.....when he found out she was having an affair with Lloyd!

Tonight visiting us were West Virginia State Senators Curty Queedy and Guy Barton. As Democrats, they do not favor extending the Bush tax cuts. But, as Democrats, they dare not say that ahead of an election as they are sure to be voted out if they do. And if they are voted out? Well that means Curt's 20 Years In The State House Celebration slated for this May would stink it out and Guy returning to his moving van business would spell disaster for a brother and sister-in-law that took it over and turned it around. Better to re-elect them first and then they'll get around to talking about these tax cuts. Up next was Vernon Dozier who believes in the death penalty but not for women. He holds women high, as if they are spiritual beings. And he does so even though his mother kissed him on the lips as a 9 year old in full view of his friends and teachers. It wasn't so bad when he told them all he was the womans young lover but when his mother identifuied herself to everyone, Vernon cracked. Even so, he over came the experience and went on to support women whole-heartedly in their efforst at equality. He told his students the story of his mother kissing his lips and one of them returned the next day with a gift for "any offspring you and your mother may have had. It's a telescope since the kid is odds-on a cyclops." And he overcame that insult as well.......

Bobbie Dooley went to bat for her son Seth tonight. The President of the Western Estates Parent-Teacher Organization said her 19 year old son was not forcing himself on a 17 year old girl in a parked car one night. That's just what she told her dad so he could sue the Dooley's because "he doesn' look like he's got much going on." Besides, says Bobbie, "the girl's 17 going on 31 and walks bow-legged so do the math." Later Dave Oliva, a criminal justice student at LA Canyon College came on to defend the Orlando police officer accused of hip-checking and seriously injuring a World War 2 vet. Dave did battle with callers who believe the police used excessive force but as far as Dave was concerned "all the people that called tonight were either jailbirds or LAPD wash-outs. If a guy parks his car on a sidewalk it's pretty much guaranteed he needs a beating."

Tonight's show featured an appearance by Jay Santos of the Citizens Axilliary Police to provide information to the public on dealing with resisting suspects. Jay's main point is all bets are off if a suspect puts their hands on the officer...or "ociffer" in Jay-speak. If the suspect puts their hands on the cop, whether the suspect is a 10 year old girl or an 80 year old man procedure calls for collaring the individual around the head or shoulders and running them, head first, into any stationary cement or asphalt object. Next, the story of a man video-taping a child molester's confession and putting it on YouTube, inspires Phil to bring on Norther California Holistic Center Director Dean Wheeler who was secretly taped by his wife Belinda slapping her when she lost some money and papers for the center. Dean feels the real crime was not him slapping his wife but her secretly recording him doing it. He also slapped her when she added "too much gluten to a walnut loaf she was making. I have Celiac disease which causes my stool to be oily," says Dean. But Deans says he's evolved. He used to hit her with a balled up fist and now uses his open hand. Soon, he'll evolve to the point where he'll remove his rings.

Bob Surrah. a retired man in Washington DC, joins our program to talk about being at the Obama town hall meeting and how his feelings and the feelings of others who voted for Obama get hurt when people criticize him. In fact, says Bob, he was personally so hurt by the slamming of Obama he developed a twitch and lost control of his bowels. In the second hour, Margaret Grey, nationally syndicated columnist, talked about Christine O'Donell, the Tea Party candidate for US Senate from Delaware, and her statements about being into Wicca and not lying, even to protect Jews from Hitler! Margaret thinks she's a mess. Margaret also wants middle class women to know that even though she has never experienced economic hard times, she stands in solidarity with them and will start eating at Red Lobster.
