Podcast 127

Stories. Spring Rains. A warm rain on Saturday night triggers my memories as I podcast live from the deck, for the first time in 2014. It’s about time. Some of the stories that have been floating around from last week and this weekend, and some story lines to look for in the coming week. Whether you are flying back from Easter with the family, on your walk, or the commute, if you live in the upper midwest, it’s nice to hear and to feel the warm rain of Spring! The Light Rail may derail MPR Bob, who is concerned the ‘vibrations’ may scuttle his ‘audio’. Restaurants in Minneapolis are so loud, how long do you think it will be before they pass an ordinance requiring establishments to have earplugs available for patrons. (Minneapolis has already done this with music venues). Plus, biometric gun bracelets by executive order, food inflation, job ‘scarcity’, the end of the world and more!

The Bob Davis Podcasts 2014 Election Primer! In 2014, voters will choose all 435 seats of the US House of Representatives, 33 US Senate Seats, Governors and state houses in individual states. Pundits and talking heads are making wild predictions, or blathering about the 2016 presidential election when voters have very important decisions to make. Get the perspective you need on the election: In this first blush for 2014, what to look for in national analysis of polling and issues, and what is needed to win races where they count; locally. There will be more podcasts about the 2014 elections, but now that Minnesota endorsement races are over, I can give you some things to be aware of as we head into election season. Now, some of you have been looking for longer podcasts, so Podcast 126 is a little longer. Be careful what you pray for! Sponsored by Baklund R & D.

Podcast 125

A big tax day 2014 greeting to proponents of the progressive tax code. Let’s get rid of it! Here’s to a flat tax, or a consumption tax with no deductions and no exceptions. From Harry Reid’s misadventure in the desert, to throwing away tax dollars…the power to tax is the issue, not whether or not taxes are too high. And speaking of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s misadventure in the desert, better known as the “Bundy Ranch Standoff” or “Harry Reid Rustles Cattle so his Chinese Pay Masters Can Get The Land”, when does the Senate censure of Reid begin? Should the House of Representatives begin an investigation because the Senate won’t? Or, does the State of Nevada have to force the Senator to resign with its own investigation of his corruption. Plus, my experience of the Blood Moon and updates of all the big stories this week. Sponsored by Sedation and Implant Dentistry of Saint Paul.
