Starting off tonight’s show, I never thought I’d see one of our nation’s finest—a soldier serving in Iraq—do something so stupid!  A sniper decided it would be a good idea to practice his sharpshooting on a copy of the Koran!  We spend enough time trying to convince people in the Middle East that we aren’t over there because we hate them!  A guy like this isn’t helping the situation at all!

A church in Minnesota has banned an autistic kid and his parents from worship services!  In all honesty, it sounds like the boy’s behavior is difficult to deal with, but it’s not like he’s doing it on purpose!  There has to be a way the church can accommodate this family.  If they can’t, I guess it’s further proof that I did the right thing when I left the fold!  We’ll get your thoughts on this at 7:30!

We’ll hear some of Senator McCain’s latest SNL appearance at 8:20!  Guess what?  He addressed the age issue head-on in a whole new kind of “John McCain Senior Moment”!

8:30 brings us to a tragic story:  a little boy gravely injured on the pitcher’s mound when he was struck by a line drive.  Of course it’s a heart-wrenching story and I feel for his parents, but I don’t think they’re justified in suing the aluminum bat manufacturer!

Just before 9, Barack Obama is standing by his woman!  He says to leave his wife Michelle out of election season mudslinging—period—end of story!  It’s not gonna happen, though. She’s on the campaign trail so she’s fair game!

In our weekly chat with Sam Donaldson, we’ll discuss the real story on how sexism is affecting Hillary Clinton, as well as the president’s glaring criticism of Obama last week!  We’re talking to the crown jewel of the Gaydos After Dark political team at 9 o’clock!

At 9:30, we’ll once again observe that people are nuts when it comes to their pets.  I’ll try to go easy on the animal lovers this time, but why would people pay thousands of dollars for a departed pet’s final send-off?

7 to 10, 7 to 10, 7 to 10; that’s how Gaydos rolls!!!

At 7 o’clock tonight, we’ll hear from one of many young rape victims who are reaching out for help.  The problem is that this sixteen-year-old and many others are seeking that help online.  This worries me, ladies and gentlemen.  Can’t these kids confide in their parents?  There’s got to be a better, safer, more effective way for victims to get the support they need.

Oh no!  At 8 o’clock, is it over for Obama?!  He made a big mistake when he called a female reporter “Sweety”!  Bad move, Senator!  Women aren’t okay with that!  We’ll hear the big flub, as well as the apology that followed!

I guess Obama just couldn’t catch a break today because, at 8:30, we’ll hear President Bush ripping on the Democratic candidate during a speech in Israel!  I’d say this was the first barrage in what will be an ongoing campaign of slamming Obama in order to help put McCain in the White House!

It would probably frighten you if you knew the operator at the 9-1-1 switchboard was indifferent to your call for help!  We’ll hear one operator express exactly that sentiment as we start our final hour!  The guy lost his job and you may think he deserved it, but I wonder if he really did.  Hear me out, people!

Today, the California Supreme Court found the ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional!  I guess that settles it!  No, actually, I’m sure it doesn’t.  I say gays should be allowed to marry, but the argument isn’t over yet.  It’s sure to be a political football this election season!

Well Hillary may not get the Democratic nomination, but she does nail down a few small victories here and there! Tonight, I’m giving you “The Top 7 Reasons Hillary Won West Virginia”!

Governor Janet Napolitano is still hard at work on making Arizona a sanctuary state for undocumented immigrants! She’s stripped Sheriff Joe Arpaio of one million dollars he could have used to track them down! If only Mayor Gordon were in town so he could give her a big high-five on this! We’ll talk about it until 8:30 tonight!

Then, an Atlanta area bar owner doesn’t see the problem with this t-shirt he’s selling! Do you!? If not, how can you miss the lack of taste exercised here? I can’t imagine how anyone could miss the racist overtones, but I’ll take calls until 9:30 and see if someone out there has any defense for this!

At 9:30, we’ll return to the subject of those monies taken away from Sheriff Joe and his immigration crackdown! We’ll hear what Arpaio had to say about this setback and consider how his efforts will fare with these funds taken out of the equation!

Dearly beloved, Crawford, Texas is all abuzz over the nuptial celebration for our president’s daughter! That’s why we’re bringing you “The Top 7 Surprises Planned for Jenna Bush’s Wedding”!

With the economy looking so bleak right now, we all have to tighten our belts! Even Gaydos is being thrifty when it comes to sending Mom a gift this Mother’s Day! My beautiful tribute to the woman who gave me life will be a text message reading “HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! :)” Tell me you love it! That’s our 7 o’clock topic!

Totally unrelated to my Mother’s Day text message, at 7:30, we’ll ask for stories of kids’ escapades that made you moms wish you weren’t mothers!

At 8 o’clock, we’ll talk about how delightful the race between McCain and Obama is going to be! Surely, these guys won’t go negative against each other! Or will they?

At 8:20, Bill Clinton goes off on attendees at a speech in West Virginia! That’s a state Hill has a good chance of winning, if Bill hasn’t killed it for her! He tends to do that, y’know!

We’re bringing you “Up to 20″ at 8:30! It’s just like Radio YouTube and you’re the star! Get your thoughts on the air with our Friday night tradition!

Starting off our third hour, you won’t believe how one mom dealt with her daughter’s problem with a playground bully!

9:30 brings us to “Gaydos on the News,” with this week’s edition featuring the story of a guy who performed a tracheotomy on himself!

We’ve got one last thought about moms before we go!  We’ll have a listen to the ad featuring John McCain and his mommy!

Well, Hillary Clinton won the Indiana primary last night! Barely!! Still, she doesn’t seem discouraged at all! We’re starting off tonight’s show with “The Top 7 Reasons Hillary Refuses to Drop Out of the Race”!

That’s right. Hillary hasn’t won this thing, so far, but she shows no signs of going away quietly! I hate to say it, but I see a back room deal in the future for the Democratic candidates! During our first big hour, we’ll learn that if Obama wants Hillary to bow out, he’s gonna have to offer her the V.P. spot!

Sheriff Joe Arpaio has now taken his crime suppression round-ups to predominantly white Fountain Hills! Does that absolve him of the racial profiling he’s always accused of? Let’s find out at 8 o’clock!

Tonight’s final hour brings us to a high school trip to Spain! A bunch of young people are going to be exposed to a new culture, exotic surroundings—and booze! The age restrictions there aren’t as strict as here in the U.S., so the organizers say it’s okay if these kids have a drink! Is it a big deal? Eh…I don’t think so.
