Arlen Spector, The Kennedys & H & R Block
People are still buzzing over Tuesday's primary elections. The big news is Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Spector losing in the Democratic primary to Representative Joe Sestak.
Spector had been in the Senate for five terms (30 years), but like most politicians, his views change from time to time depending on who he's talking to. His flip-flopping alienated Republicans so much so that he jumped over to the Democrats. Apparently, they were not too thrilled with him either. I know this guy has had some medical problems over the years, and maybe it's not his fault that he's nuts, but the voters definitely sent a few messages. A.) They don't like incumbents, B.) They don't like flip-floppers, and C.) They don't like people named "Arlen".
According to Bedford Police Lt. Jeff Dickan, Mary F. Kennedy had a blood-alcohol level of 0.11 at the time of arrest. The legal limit is 0.08. She was pulled over because police witnessed her drive over a curb in the driveway at a local school. Dickan says she slurred her speech, the vehicle smelled of alcohol, and she failed field sobriety tests, including a one-legged stand and a walk-and-turn test.
Finally, I was astounded to read this today. H & R Block is closing up 400 offices because business is off. You would thing that with this current administration, if there's any business that would prosper, it would be tax preparation.

Mike will be my driver at Old Dominion Raceway this Saturday night. Your final chance to win a 4-pack of tickets to the event and to qualify for the ride along experience when I hop into a race car and go head to head with a lucky listener on the track is during tomorrow morning's show. Good Luck!!!
Earlier that day, we'll all be out at the King of Wings Festival at the Fredericksburg Fairgrounds. Kristin Nash will be out there with me, as will Braden Smith, and we hope YOU will be out there as well. Make sure you come up to say, "Hi" to us!
The Kennedys are at it again. The wife of Robert Kennedy Jr has been arrested and charged with DUI, two days after a "domestic incident" at the couple's home in Bedford, Massachusetts.
