Today on Ankarlo Mornings:
A Dallas Cowboy dresses up as rapper Lil Wayne for Halloween. She’s white. He’s black. She put black face on. She’s now in trouble. Ankarlo doesn’t think this should be a big deal because she is dressing as a character.
If you had to pick one thing that has made America great what would it be? Several answers come up.
Who represents us?
November 3, 2009
It’s a simple question, but a serious one. Think about this. In Washington, D.C. who do you think represents you. Today is election day in several places around the country. At stake–a couple governorships and a US Congressional race.
The Congressional Race is happening in New York. The Republican candidate dropped out of the race and then endorsed the Democrat. Polls predict a win by a third party candidate. How does this affect you? This is a struggle for the soul of who represents you. This is about conservative values and what the GOP still stands for. Is it only the party of social values? Or is it a party of low taxes, small government and personal responsibility? Is it both? Are these values consistent with yours? That’s what we discuss today.

Today on Ankarlo Mornings: Is Obama running an all boys club? He’s only been golfing with one woman. A secretary in a school duct taped a child’s mouth and hands after he continued to act up. Also, can you be naked in your own house if someone can see you?

Is Barack Obama running an all boys club in the White House?
A secretary duct tapes a kid’s mouth and hands because he keeps acting out. Did she go too far? Yes. But, what are educators supposed to do? And where is that line?
Also, a man has been arrested for being naked in his own house. Yes! Is this crazy or what? Well, the details of the story make it seem the man was standing in the doorway. Across the street from his home is a bus stop. A mom and her 7-year old saw him naked. Do they have a case?

Was the entire balloon boy incident a hoax? The Sheriff in charge of the investigation thinks so. Can you imagine forcing your kids to lie like that on national television in order to fulfill your dream of having your own reality TV show? Unbelievable.
Target has been under fire recently for a Halloween costume they have been selling. It’s an illegal alien costume complete with a space alien head mask, orange jump suit and green card. Because of public pressure Target has stopped selling the costume.
A couple is suing a cruise line because they were booked on a gay cruise. They say the cruise line should have told them before they bought their trip that they would be traveling with gay passangers. Do they have a case?
A couple has been allowing their son and his friends to build and use pipe bombs because they say it’s educational. Can you say dysfunctional?

Today on Ankarlo Mornings:
Has the American Flag become offensive? One apartment complex owner has told all residents to take down Old Glory. Why? Becuase they live in a ‘diverse’ community and some might find the Flag offensive.
Meanwhile, a 17-year old from New York has been suspended from school because he had a two-inch knife in his car. He kept it there just in case. He’s an Eagle Scout and has already completed Army basic training. None of that matters. It’s zero tolerance baby. Matthew Whalen also dreams of attending West Point. That dream might no longer happen because of this suspension.
You have to read this column. The author says America isn’t the greatest country in the world and certainly not the only country that has something to be proud of. Is he realistic or is he off the reservation?
Meanwhile, you can score one for common sense. A six-year old boy who brought a Cub Scout tool with a fork, spoon and a knife was originally suspended from school. He was ordered to attend an alternative school for 45 days. But, his suspension has been revoked and he will go back to his regular school starting this week.
The Senate is moving closer to passing a health care bill. With the help of one GOP Senator, Oympia Snowe, the bill passed the Senate Finance Committee. Sen. Snowe said yesterday, when history calls, history calls. Basically, this isn’t about doing what’s right. This is about adding her name to the history books.

Today on Ankarlo Mornings:
Cheerleaders in Georgia have been banned from holding up signs at football games that quoted the Bible. Is this a First Amendment issue or does it violate the seperation of Church and State? Ankarlo sides on the side of the First Amendment.
Ankarlo’s youngest daughter Katie has moved out of the house. Now, Darrell is faced with a Catch-22. See, Katie has run out of money. Should Darrell give her some money or should be teach her a life lesson?
Also, Ankarlo has been watching a BBC documentary about the rise of Nazi Germany. He’s seeing parallels between Germany circa 1930’s and USA circa now. Are you concerned?

Today on Ankarlo Mornings:
What happened in the sweat lodge in Sedona? Why did two people die? There are more questions than answers right now. But, self-help author James Arthur Ray isn’t cooperating with authories. Is he to blame?
Ankarlo wants to know what in the world is Marge Simpson doing in Playboy?
Also, should Ankarlo spend money to go to Producer Rob’s wedding? He’s unsure.
Finally, a six-year old boy has been suspended from school because he brought a Cub Scout Tool to school. It had a knife on it. Apparently, zero-tolerance policies also mean zero-common sense policies.

A ten-year old boy received a ticket for disrupting class. Not just a detention ticket–an actual ticket. Now, his mom has to pay $260. There’s just a lot wrong with this story.
Ankarlo talks to Digeo CEO Greg Gudorf today about his new HD DVR device, Moxi. Ankarlo has been testing this product and loves it.
Are you getting the swine flu vaccine? Ankarlo isn’t even though the government is trying to get him to.
Sheriff Joe and Homeland Security Sec. Janet Napolitano are fighting about illegal immigration. Apparently, she’s not going let Sheriff Joe cross train officers with ICE anymore. Why does the government make it so hard to let Sheriff Joe do his job?

Today on Ankarlo Mornings: Have you ever watched Jon and Kate plus 8? Jon and Kate were a regular family trying to raise 8 children together. Then everything fell apart. They are getting a very public divorce and battling it out over the airwaves? Ankarlo wonders why we like watching the demise of the American family…
David Letterman was on-air last night for the first time since he told the world he had affairs with several women on his staff. Last night he poked fun at himself, apologized to his staff and said he has a lot of work to do at home. Ankarlo noticed something was missing: an apology to his wife. Should he have on the show? Ankarlo thinks so.
Tomorrow marks the eight anniversary of the War in Afghanistan. That’s longer than World War II. There is much debate going on about what to do there. Should the US pull out? Should we send more troops? The Obama Administration is updating their strategy and goals as a few Generals debate it in public. Ankarlo says get the job done or get out. It’s pretty simple.
According to one newspaper, the Arab World has been holding secret meetings with China, Russia, Brazil and Japan to strike a blow to the US dollar. Ankarlo is worried about this. Think about it. We have spend billions of dollars buying Arab oil, enriching those countries beyond belief. Now, they would pull something like this. Oil countries are denying it of course, but is this a collaborated effort by the world to try and bring America down?
