Tonights full moon is called the FULL PINK MOON because this is the month that the phlox wildflower blooms with its bright pink flowers.
Other phlox plants also bloom in summer and fall and you might see them with blue, violet, red or even white flowers in addition to the pink and they smell good too!
A new Gallup Poll, just out, shows that only 15% of the American people approve of the job that congress is doing. That's the 15% who will believe anything you tell them.
The sad thing is that the other 85% will turn right around and vote most of the same people back in for another term and then wonder why the country is going to hell.
The problem with this type of government is that it only works for people who aren't brain dead.
I'm so happy to see that David Letterman will have A.J. Clemente on his show tonight.
A. J. is the young man who was nervous as hell on his first night as news anchor on a North Dakota TV station. I know the feeling. Your heart is beating a hundred miles an hour, you start to sweat and you can't even think of your first name when that red light goes on for the first time and you're on the air and expected to perform.
That's what happened to A.J. and he accidentally blurted out the "F" word. The management of the TV station, being the A-holes they are, rather than giving the kid a break, fired him on the spot.
I sent A.J. a note and told him to hang in there. He, probably, doesn't think so now but it DOES get better.
I very well remember one of my very earliest days in radio. I was reading a commercial for a mens store. It was live, of course, as most things were in those days, and the commercial had to do with a sale on mens shirts.
Unfortunately, the copy writer missed the "R" key while she was typing the commercial and I read it like she wrote it. I said the mens store had "mens shit on sale".
Fortunately, I had a manager with a sense of humor who had been in radio forever and knew what life behind the mike was like. He laughed so hard he nearly fell off his chair.
I sure hope A.J. does well with Letterman tonight. Who knows, there might be a manager with a sense of humor, somewhere out there, who will give A. J. a second chance.
THE NORMAL HIGH FOR TODAY IS 64. TODAY'S EXPECTED HIGH WILL BE AROUND 54.
