Tonight David G. Hall and Dr. Jim Sadler try and talk Phil into exposing the intimate details of a friends tragic suicide. Phil refuses and the hour turns into a harangue by David and Sadler getting deeply offended because Phil told him he sounds “effeminate”Is Skype next?

Father James McQuarters and Vernon Dozier don’t even want to talk about 16 year olds overdosing on pain pills. As far as they’re concerned too much time’s been wasted on kids and their drug problems already. They want to talk instead about people Skyping their dogs, that is video-calling their dogs to see “how they’re doing.” Vernon is particularly incensed, calling dogs “the most back-stabbing species in history.”

Doug Baldwin reporting….Dateline: Arcadia: “Take Money” Joe Olender bested the field Saturday just as the fat wolf moon crested the holiday crazed eastern horizon.

Backed by the frantic screams of sex starved Peacocks, Joe put the torch to any hopes that age and wisdom would prevail at this years Paul Compton Memorial Hold ’em Tourney hosted by the generous folks at Casa Coronado. Joe is the youngest player ever to scrape in the chips at the PCM and with his cool shades and pork pie lid he brought fresh blood to this time honored contest, which normally pits one good poker player with a few amiable if aging gentlemen whose sputtering attention spans don’t normally permit a full attendance to the finer points of the game.

When the smoke cleared and the staff had finished sweeping up all the shattered dreams, Joe stood tall, fisting the Compton Cup up to the rising moon, a tradition preserved.
