I remember watching the show as a teenager and wondering exactly what was Miss Kitty's occupation. What exactly was Miss Kitty's profession? In 20 years, they never really made that clear. She never really had a job. She just sort of hung around the saloon all the time. Well, a listener called to inform me that Miss Kitty OWNED the saloon. I told her I always thought that, but also thought that maybe Miss Kitty had a little business on the side (if you know what I mean). The listener told me that was probably the case originally, but then Miss kitty made so much money, SHE BOUGHT THE PLACE! Makes sense to me. The point of all this is many times, in the morning, you guys are a lot sharper than me and my comic friends I talk to everyday, so I encourage you to participate in the show. We'll get out phones line up and running again soon, and anytime you want to call in, call in! As you know, I love weird news stories and there's no shortage of them, but I can't find them all. If you know of a funny news story you want to share with the rest of us, feel free to call it in. In fact, feel free to call anytime about anything, whatever is on your mind. Sometimes, it hard to get through, so keep trying. If you prefer, you can always e-mail me instead of calling. My e-mail address is: dennymore@thunder1045.com

OK, everybody's talking about President OH-bama's plan for people with troubled mortgages. It's called "Making Home Affordable", and would lower interest rates to as low as 2%, and extend the term of the loan up to 40 years. This program would be only for houses valued at less than $729,750.00 (These days, that would be ALL houses). I would love to know how they came up with THAT particular figure. What many people don't like about this program is that it rewards people who can't, aren't or won't pay their mortgage, and the hard-working responsible people who ARE, get nothing. Plus, if they extend the loan to 40 years, in many, if not most cases, your kids will wind up paying off YOUR mortgage. Of course, by then, they'll probably be paying off everybody else's as well.

Finally, I laughed so hard, I fell off my chair when I read this one. British prime Minister Gordon Brown announced yesterday that Queen Elizabeth is awarding honorary knighthood to Ted Kennedy. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!!!!!
