It’s Presidents Day! The Day we honor those who many people consider the two Greatest Presidents in the History of the US: Abraham Lincoln whose birthday is Feb. 12th and George Washington who was born on Feb. 22nd.
How do we celebrate President’s Day?? By getting a GREAT DEAL ON A NEW MATTRESS AT GARDNER WHITE!!!!!!

All kidding aside, our thoughts and Prayers are with former President Jimmy Carter and his family as it was announced that the 39th Commander in Chief of the US has entered hospice care. At 98 years old, Carter is the longest living President in US History.

The Canadian teacher “Kayla Lemieux”, a man who began identifying as a woman last September and went viral for wearing huge, Z-cup prosthetic breasts to school… now claims the breasts are “Real” and the result of a rare genetic condition.
- I’m no Doctor, but I believe the Medical term for Gigantic Boobs on a man is “Chesticles”.

In honor of Presidents Day, a company that specializes in “Memorial Spaceflights” announced plans to send hair samples from George Washington, John F. Kennedy, Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan into Space on a rocket next year.
- They were going to send it up this week… but they were afraid the Government might go crazy and shoot the rocket down.

A long-lost letter from George Washington - where he is trying to sell land for cash in 1787 - hints at the first president’s financial woes, and it is expected to fetch $50,000 at auction.
- Too bad he didn’t think of selling the LETTER at the time!! He could have gotten the CASH and kept the LAND!!!

Get Better… Tom Sizemore… The 61 year old actor, born in Detroit, best known for his work in “Saving Private Ryan” who is in Critical Condition after suffering a Brain Aneurysm over the weekend.
RIP… Richard Belzer… The comedian and actor best known for his 23 year run on the "Law & Order" TV Shows has died at age 78. No cause of death given.
RIP… Stella Stevens… Co-star of movies including the “Nutty Professor” with Jerry Lewis and the “Poseidon Adventure” has died at the age of 84 after a battle with Alzheimers. I met Stella twice - both memorable. As I mentioned on the radio show a couple of times, I interviewed her on the air in Cincinnati once - and after the show (I signed off at 3pm) she asked me out for a drink. I nervously explained that I couldn’t as my wife, Gail and baby daughter, Jennifer were on their way to the station to pick me up.
The second timeI was at Channel 4 in Detroit… and unbeknownst to me, Stella was there promoting a play. Alan Frank, who was General Manager of 4 at the time had heard me tell my “Stella Story” on the air before and decided to “recreate” the moment. So i’m sitting in his office, and all of a sudden the door opens up and there stands Stella Stevens. This is 20 years later mind you. I look at her and I say “Stella!” And she just smiles.
Did she remember me? I have no idea. But I doubt it.
Did I go out for a drink with her?
Not that time, either.

Have a great day and I’ll see you back here Tuesday!
