Courtroom proceedings have begun some seven years after a weird love triangle ends in mysterious death. I’ll tell you about the strange case of Doug and Faylene Grant as we begin tonight’s Joe Crummey Show.
The auto industry is the latest to send out an S.O.S., so we’ll be touching on the economy once again.
Actor Josh Brolin says the president told him he watched the movie W. and liked it, but sources close to Bush say he has not seen the film. He’s probably waiting for the DVD.
The American Humanist Association is launching an ad campaign that asks why we should believe in God. Can people be good without God?

The eight-year-old charged with murdering his dad and another man appeared in court today. It’s just astonishing to imagine a child this age planning a crime so heinous. Could it be that this kid was born bad?
You’ve heard about AIG’s big bailout (among others) and maybe you also know about their gathering at a cushy Phoenix resort. Our tax dollars, plus their big stay at a posh hotspot equals…something you couldn’t be too happy about.
While those guys are getting hot stone massages and pedicures, you and I are tightening our belts. I’ve started buying the generic ketchup, myself. We’ll find out how you’re cutting back as well.
I’ve stumbled into another neighborhood skirmish, somehow. I can’t believe the nerve of some people.
I’m hearing that Obama won’t be good fodder for comedy, but I don’t buy it. Liberal comics can make fun of Obama. They just don’t want to.

People are enraged about the use of the “N” word in a comic strip about Barack Obama. You can read a tastefully edited version of the strip here and see if you think it’s racist. Does it influence your answer if I tell you a black person wrote it? In my opinion, it shouldn’t.
Obama held his first press conference as President Elect today. He talked about how he plans to address the unique challenges of our time, including Iran and the ailing economy.
Oh, he also found himself owing Nancy Reagan an apology for a remark about her interest in certain mystic arts. I don’t see why he had to apologize. It’s Mrs. Reagan who’s been a follower of something as goofy as astrology.
A fifth grade teacher in North Carolina is under fire for imposing partisan politics on her students. She told a soldier’s kid that her dad would be in Iraq for a hundred years under McCain! The good news is that this is a teaching opportunity for parents.

Spike Lee told MSNBC that the years “B.B.” (that’s “Before Barack”) are behind us and that history will record an enormous difference. People are acting like we’re living in a whole different country.
Do Obama supporters now get to really rub the Democratic victory in as they go about their business? Actually, it might be smart to tone down the gloating.
Obama has already named his Chief of Staff. It’s Rahm Emanuel, an interesting guy, to say the least. I’ll tell you how this colorful figure gets his point across.
Seems there’s no rest for Sarah Palin. The campaign is over, but people still question her smarts. I admit, she should’ve known Africa is a continent.
You’ll also want to know about the woman who ran to safety with her arm locked in the jaws of a rabid fox!

On the day after the election, it seems the world sees us as cool again, because we’ve elected a black president. Oprah says hope has won out. Did we really not have hope, or the cool factor, working for us before now?
Arizona has voted to constitutionally define marriage as for man/woman couples only. I still say this is a gender issue. We’ll look at the outcome on other propositions too.
The View’s Elisabeth Hasselbeck says “nobody lost” in yesterday’s election. Oh yes they did! Why shouldn’t we talk about that?
Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano will be helping Obama transition into the White House.
Of course there’s much celebrity gushing in the afterglow of Obama’s win. We’ll hear from the likes of Jesse Jackson, Madonna and others.
We’ll also have more on the life and loves of my man Hef on tonight’s Joe Crummey Show.

Election Day…I totally dig it. Barack Obama is our President Elect. Some are excited…some aren’t. All of this energy surrounding President Elect Obama is going to be tough to live up to. America won’t be fundamentally different but this is a historical moment to be remembered forever.

I’ll be voting for John McCain for President tomorrow…unless something goes haywire in the voting booth. I outline my case for why. I continue to look at the polls and now that we’re only one day from the election I’m shocked eight percent of voters still have yet to make up their mind who they’ll be voting for. How have you not made up your mind? What are you waiting for? What will it take for you to decide between Senator Obama and Senator McCain?
Sarah Palin was pranked in a phone call the other day by the Masked Avengers…a Quebec comedy duo. People have given her a lot of grief over not picking up on the fact it was a prank call. Her publicity team should’ve been a little more on the ball though…and these guys are actually pretty slick because they’ve also pranked Tiger Woods…Bill Gates…and Britney Spears.
A study shows that kids age 12- 17 who watch Friends and Sex and the City and other shows that discuss and at times center around sex are up to 25% more likely to become pregnant or get someone pregnant. The numbers don’t lie…but how about some parenting!

An eighth-grader goes to school dressed as Jesus…nothing wrong with that…right? Wrong…his costume was deemed distracting. Alex Woinski was sent home after turning down the offer to take off the beard and crown of thorns he was wearing. I bet kids could go to school dressed as the devil though.
Barack Obama defined the upper class as anyone making over $250,000 a few weeks back. Bill Richardson, the Governor of New Mexico came out today and said the number is actually $120,000. We just heard Joe Biden mention $150,000 the other day…um…can we just pick a number!
I was going to bring apples the other day to my kid’s halloween bash. I was chastised and told there had to be something on the apples…like chocolate or caramel. So I broke down and bought caramel apples. Are apples really that lame? According to this list I found they are.
