Leno’s monologue last night joked about yesterday’s amazingly safe aircraft landing in the Hudson River. Is it too soon? Doesn’t the fact that nobody died make it okay to have fun with it?
Hopefully, you won’t ever be in a plane crash but, in case you ever are, we’ll tell you the best strategies for survival. Also, excuse me but, “women and children first”? How did that start and why does it persist today?
The operations staff at the Palo Verde nuclear power plant won’t be allowed to watch Sunday’s big game on t.v. and my response to that is a resounding “Whew!”
The Cardinals’ chaplain says the team feels that good things are in store for them and that prayer has kept them strong.

Tonight on The Joe Crummey Show, we’re a week away from inauguration day and Obama has picked Hillary Clinton as his Secretary of State. Y’know what, though? She may not be the safest choice.
Forget the playoffs! People are putting their betting dollars on Barack Obama. They’re wagering on things like the first president whose name he’ll invoke, or even the first major world event he’ll face.
If you’ve been hoping you won’t be one of those parents whose kids move back home, be very, very afraid. With the economy in so much trouble, even more twenty-somethings are moving back in with Mom and Dad.

I just don’t get it. How are ticket prices getting so high for the Cardinals game against the Eagles next Sunday? Sure it’s the NFC Championship…but University of Phoenix Stadium didn’t even sell out every game this year. Now suddenly ticket prices are in the thousands…what’s up with that? I saw one ticket selling for $150,000 who in their right mind would pay that much to see a football game in person?
Natalie Dylan is a 22 year old virgin. She’s auctioning off her virginity to pay for her masters degree in Family/Marriage Therapy. Bids have hit $3.7 million and Natalie claims she’s received several million dollar offers. Fact is Natalie isn’t doing this to pay for her schooling. She’s trying to have it both ways…she’s proving no point…this isn’t a noble cause…it’s a classic example of putting lipstick on a pig.
A national safety group’s advocating a total ban on cell phone use while driving, saying the practice is clearly dangerous and leads to fatalities. They’re right…when people are on te phone they are distracted. People won’t want to give up their phones…but cell phones while driving will be a thing of the past. What do people do that makes being on the phone while driving so important in the first place?
Check out the podcast of the show…

U.F.’s Tim Tebow was on double duty last night. While leading the Florida Gators to their B.C.S. win, he was also flashing the news of his Christian faith to one and all. We’ll compare his approach to those of other Christian athletes as we start off tonight’s show.
Jennifer Vogel from KPNX Channel 12 joins us to discuss the ongoing Serial Shooter trial. We can’t help but consider what it must be like for family members to hear Dietman describe shooting their loved ones.

Danny Ray Hardesty says his religion gives him the right to use marijuana. He says the Arizona law that allows Native Americans’ use of peyote protects him, too, as a member of the Church of Cognizance. As we begin tonight’s Joe Crummey Show, we’ll hear from an official of the church and then from Hardesty, himself.

Police will question John Travolta about Jett Travolta’s untimely death. The celeb parents had taken the boy off antisiezure medication. Did that cause his death? Was the choice influenced by their faith in Scientology?

Convicted serial shooter Sam Dietman appeared in court today, as well. Sandra Haros sets the scene for us and brings us audio from Dietman’s testimony against his accused partner in crime Dale Hausner.
Grown women are using dollies to get all the benefits of motherhood without any of the drawbacks. They seem to think it’s just the cutest, but I’m getting a distinctly spooky vibe off the whole idea.
We’ll also cover something ugly coming out of the Phoenix Police Department. A woman who blew the whistle on a cop who showed her porn on the job may not have gotten justice.

I went home to see my folks over the holiday break and it’s got me wondering if they can get along on their own in their old age. Getting them some—assistance?—would be for their own good, but they won’t be happy about it.
In a new survey, women claim to have been happiest when they were a size 14. I don’t buy it. You ladies are never happy with your bodies!
With news of gun residue and competency hearings, we’ll update you on the St. Johns murder case.
John Travolta’s son Jett has died at just sixteen years of age and, on top of the obvious tragedy, there’s controversy.
How do you like this? Firesafe cigarettes will soon be required by Arizona law.
