Do you dream about the end of world? Have you ever? Are you optimistic about the future of the world, or filling the bomb shelter with canned food, buying 80 pounds of rice and preparing for the end times? A late night ‘bonsai’ fire, for a podcast planned to update the week’s news story lines, goes ‘off the rails’, but in a good way. And, you still get updated. How the media played two different economic news stories last week (one good news, sorta, and one bad news, for real), Thomas Friedman wastes a thousand words in the New York Times to tell us it’s not Obama’s fault, again. Russian TU-160’s over Crimea while Ukrainians say it’s war. Plus, when laying in wait to kill someone isn’t 1st degree murder but ‘Stand Your Ground’. Really? And Detroit’s Civilian Militia.

Fog. Confusion. Frustration. With recent unemployment numbers being called terrible due to record low labor force participation, how can they blame it on the weather, or tell you to ignore it. Yet, apologists continue to blame poor economic growth and strife on the weather, or tell people to ignore the facts. Bob Davis gets you up to date on the latest trends in the news, as no one else can, with insights on the labor department numbers last week, Chris Christie, the ‘civil war’ in the Republican Party, why the ‘Polar Vortex’ is just what we used to call winter, Dennis Rodman and more. Sponsored by Ryan Plumbing and Heating of Saint Paul. In Minneapolis call Ryan at 651-224-4771. In Saint Paul call Ryan at 612-927-6488.
