VPR PLEDGE DRIVE BLUES

What a killer tune that would be, eh?

My baby, yeah, she threw me out
couldn't stand to hear that pledge drive no more
I told her it be over soon
but my baby said it's over now...  (guitar riff)

So anyway - is that pledge drive on VPR longer than usual or is it just me? If they don't watch out, it's gonna bleed into the next one...in October! You'd think with all the thinkers they got in that building, they could come up with a more creative way to raise the coin, instead of bugging these poor loyal listeners who have already shelled out dime after dime, year after year. Doesn't make much sense to this old hedgehog.
I told one cult member,er, staffer, that I'd give ONLY if all the salaries of VPR personnel were posted on the website. Ain't seen it yet.

SHINY HAPPY BALANCED BUDGET

Yeah! The Vermont budget became magically balanced. Our thoughts:
1. Gov Smoothie/Hardball came out smelling pretty sweet. Such influence for a 'lame duckie'. Gentle Jim knew the Dem leadership had to soften the process; because most of them are running for higher office, they needed to show us Vermonters that they could get the freaking job done without a bunch of turbulence. As Graffu said on CAX, "they needed to show they could govern." We call political expert Chris Graff  "Graffu", because that's a combo of Graff and guru. Most of what he says is right on, most of the time.

2. In order to fully understand how the budget was balanced, Vermont Hum is going to have to bring in an accountant, translator, PR consultant, rolfer, and Psychic Nan O'Brien, so it'll be a while before we can give you a structured, detailed, succinct analysis. In the meantime - how about those Habs.

3. Someone wrote the Free Press suggesting that the individuals running for Governor are the ones responsible for the current mess. Hmmm.

ADDISON COUNTY HAS A ROLLER DERBY TEAM

This is why we just love the Addison County Independent. Where else, my friends, where else?
