Today is a sad day for Darrell. His oldest brother George, his hero, passed away over the weekend. Darrell wrote an article about the influence George has had over his life in Phoenix magazine a couple of months ago. You can read it here.  Darrell also pays tribute to George at the end of today’s show…

On today’s show, Darrell talks about the case of Julie Myers.  Who is she?  Well, she was up for the top job at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).  That is until she judged a Halloween costume contest and awarded the most original costume to a man wearing dreadlocks, dressed in a prison outfit and darker skin.  Now, she is under fire.  Is she a racist?  Or is this just an excuse the Democrats are using because she is former chairman of Joint Chiefs Gen. Richard Myers?  Ms. Myers also is married to John Wood, who used to be Homeland Security Director Michael Chertoff’s chief of staff.

Talk the Vote:  Robert Novak says his sources tell him Sen. Hillary Clinton has “scandalous” information about Sen. Barack Obama.  The source also told Novak, they weren’t going to use it.  Obama responded by saying, “don’t swift boat me.”  In Iowa residents have been recieving phone calls knocking Gov. Mitt Romney’s religion.  Others have received calls saying they shouldn’t vote for Sen. John Edwards because he isn’t home taking care of his wife while she has cancer.

The Boston Police Department has a new program to get guns of the street.  They will be knocking on people’s doors to ask if they can search their kids rooms without a warrant.  Well, at least they will ask permission.  How far do we go for safety? Is this just another example of losing our rights?  Darrell says the mission might be right, but there is room to worry.
