Good Friday Morning , and Jeff kicks things off by acknowledging the many people who helped put together last night's Ringside Comedy Review which was at The Olde Ice House in Slidell. But thats where the positive stops and the negative begins as Jeff opines on the free falling stock market. When will it end? Also Louis Farrakhan is in the news only he really outdoes himself, Farrakhan proclaims that Barack Obama is the Messiah!!! What a real clown this guy is.Crime Cameras not working. Another failed Nagin idea. What more can we suffer through with this guy.John McCain and Sarah Palin not admonishing racism on the campaign trail was also discussed.

registration being connected to A.C.O.R.N (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) representatives

election. Comments and concerns quickly turn to the economic crisis that has

The morning after and it was a snoozer. Round 2 in Nashville
occured last night and neither impressed, which is bad news for McCain. Is it
over? Also, Tom Brokaw moderated the event- so how did he do? Jeff discusses
what he thought of the debate and he also says be ready for Barack Obama- next
president of the United States.
On a side note, one proposal from the debate last night by McCain was to buy up
300 billion dollars of bad mortgages to allow homeowners to keep their houses.
The feds cut interest rates by half a point last night to try to steady the
economy. ACORN's office raided for voter fraud- uh oh. And the economy issue is
affecting the Northshore as well- to the tune of a 6.5% budget decrease.

Good Monday morning...well maybe not that good. Bill Jefferson made a run-off with Helena Moreno. Through all the charges, all the corruption it looks to be all but over for Moreno. Will we be movin' on down while Jefferson moves on back to his seat? So if you want to be a politician in Louisiana, start stuffing your freezer with cash. Sarah Palin is taking the gloves off. She points to Barack Obama's connection with terrorist, Bill Ayers. So Palin has to do the dirty work for John McCain it seems. Or will this accusation even matter with all of the adversity that Obama has survived through in the past several months? Guess who's coming to New Orleans! And not for dinner- or hunting thank goodness. Dick Cheney will come to New Orleans to speak at a fundraiser for Steve Scalise. Possible controversy on Saturday as Jeff tells of one voter who voted against a tax renewal bill, but his vote registered for the bill. Also, an interesting piece in the Times Picayune that meetings do not properly list tasks of different meetings. The bailout has happened but Wall Street response has not been good at all. And Thursday night it's the Ringside Politics Comedy review. For reservations, e-mail

Guests include Tim Carney of the Evans-Novak Political Report who discusses the dynamics of the race after the vice presidential debate, the economy issue that still haunts John McCain 30 days before Election Day and if Sarah Palin hammering Barack Obama's relationship with Bill Ayers is a big deal or not. Chad Rogers, publisher of thedeadpelican.com, talks about the circus that is Bill Jefferson probably getting re-elected again and Mary Landrieu still being the favorite over John Kennedy. Candidate for Public Service Commissioner, John Schwegmann joins the show to discuss his prospects for the upcoming runoff election. And of course the Giardello brothers joined the fun as well.
