The DMV, The Final Flip-Flop & Mr. Saturday Night, Ben Bernanke

Rae and I moved a few months back, so we had to change our address on our license. I avoid going to the DMV like I would avoid going to a dentist with Parkinson's, so I made my changes online. I never had to deal with them in person. However, when Rae tried to follow suite, the whole online thing wasn't working for her for one reason or another. So, when I got off the air today, Rae wanted to go to the DMV to change the address on her license, and she wanted me to come along with her. Personally, I would rather be water boarded than go to the DMV, but...................Okay. We sat there for hours. For hours, there we sat, like two dopes while these government workers took turns going to lunch or walking around aimlessly. It occurred to me that this was the best argument against government-run health care or socialized medicine or whatever you want to call it. It's the same thing. I've traveled a lot in my life, and every DMV in every state I've been to has been the same. If this is how they run the DMV, do you actually think the government handling your health care is going to be any different? The only difference is instead of sitting there for hours waiting to get the address on your license changed, you'll be sitting there waiting for a kidney, or waiting to see a doctor, or worse, waiting to make an appointment to see a doctor. Some people told us they were waiting longer than us. In fact, I guess we shouldn't complain. Here's a picture I took of the couple sitting next to us.Our final Flip-Flop Friday in THIS Friday. Braden Smith will be at Brock's in downtown Fredericksburg with TWO chances to win those tickets to see Kenny Chesney this Saturday night at The Nissan Pavilion. Be there!

Congratulations to former Indiana basketball coach, Bobby Knight. We found out over the weekend that Knight will soon be inducted into the Indiana University Athletics Hall of Fame. Oddly enough, not for basketball. It turns out, apparently he holds the distance record for chair-tossing.

Speaking of sports, Happy Birthday today to Vince McMahon. Vinny Mac is 64 today.

I'm sorry. Did I say speaking of "sports"?

Finally, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Friday that economic activity in the U.S. and around the world appears to be "leveling out" and added that the U.S. economy is on the verge of recovery.

Everybody had a GOOD LAUGH at Ben's wacky joke and then went on with their business.
