WEEKEND HUM (08-19-07)

TOP 7 HUMMERS OF THE WEEK

SALOMON WIGGLE
Wow. Free Press foodie Deb Salomon puts down the cheese grater and writes about the things that piss her off. She rants forcefully about the overabundance of stupid reality shows, dog fighting, and the whole airline mess.
DS leaves us chuckling at the end as she moans about starlets driving drunk. She stops, and then exclaims: "Starlets Driving Drunk. Hey, that's a good name for a rock band."
Cool, Debbo. We make up band names, too. How's this one: The Columnists. Catchy, eh?

Got a band name? Use the comments, friend.

Gov Douglas undertaking another talk tour - only this time his schedule is clearly stated, and everyone is encouraged to show up and shoot the bull with the master, even Demmies. Should be some interesting get togethers.

NEW ADDITION, NEW EDITION
VPR'S stellar midday show, Vermont Edition goes daily.
Jane Lindholm, a native Vermonter and Harvard grad, skips the small talk and delves right into the issues. Last week, various topics included wind energy pros and cons, loons, carbon emissions, Battle of Bennington and a powwow with Gov Smoothie. Good stuff so far.
