Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro and Vladimir Putin have all come out for Obama.
- Those are the kind of endorsements that are guaranteed to put anybody over the top.
Tonight’s third and final Presidential Debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney will center on questions about foreign policy.
- Because of all the controversy, Obama’s campaign is spending the day trying to make Libya the 51st state so it won’t qualify as “foreign”.
The Secret Service says they are investigting threats they’ve received against Mitt Romney.
- It’s a nice change from dealing with the threats they received from their own wives after that Colombian prostitution thing.
A report predicts that one billion women will enter the work force in the next decade.
- But only one of them will be lucky enough to land a job as Arnold Schwarzenegger’s maid.

Welcome to the Weekend… and what a weekend it is! With the Tigers headed to the World Series after their sweep of the Yankees, the “D” stands for “Down Right Proud to be a Detroiter!”.
On an equally exciting note (okay, not really) it’s also Podcast Day!
When we recorded today’s offering, the Tigers were actually playing what turned out to be the decisive Game 4 against NY. Not knowing the outcome… we turned to other “crucial” subjects including Lindsay Lohan’s endorsement of Mitt Romney and Lance Armstrong’s new gig as one of the Seven Dwarves…and we’re not talking “Happy”!
We also welcome three very special guests to my dining room table - my nephews, uh, grandkids - Preston & Jack (daughter Jessica’s 11 and 9 year olds) and Jackie’s 11 year old son Charlie. They share everything from their feelings on “Honey Boo Boo” and Justin Bieber to what it’s like to “date” in elementary school.
Think of it as “Fifty Shades of Grade School”.
So take a few minutes to stop thinking about baseball and take a swing at Podcast #61!
Have a great weekend… and Congratulations to the Tigers!

Tigers and Yankees rained out last night! Game 4 postponed until 4pm today!
There seems to be no clear concensus on whether Obama or Romney won Tuesday’s debate.
- Although both sides were confident that Bristol Palin was the right person to be kicked off Dancing With The Stars earlier that night.
The most talked about phrase of the debate was Romney’s “binders full of women”.
- So apparently Bill Clinton is writing Mitt’s speeches behind the scenes.
Astronomers have discovered a planet that has four suns.
- And most amazingly… two daughters!
- An earlier discovery was made by a Dr. Fred MacMurray, but he only had three suns.
Three months after giving birth, Actress Uma Thurman has finally revealed the name of her baby girl: Rosalind Arusha Arkadina Atatlune Florence Thurman-Busson. Friends and family just call her “Luna”.
- And they now call Uma “Luna-tic”.
- Let’s hope David Letterman never introduces her to Oprah at the Oscars… “Oprah, Rosalind Arusha Arkadina Atalune Florence. Rosalind Arusha Arkadina Atatalune Florence, Oprah.”
A store in Orlando is selling a doomsday bunker designed to go underground that has a full kitchen and flat-screen TV.
- It’s just like Hitler’s bunker - and we all know how well that worked out for him.
On this day in 1870, Benjamin Chew Tilghman patented Sandblasting.
- He successfully used the sandblasting techinque in his later career as a plastic surgeon.
Have a great day and I’ll see you back here Friday with a brand new Podcast!

P.S. C’mon Tigers!
Tigers are now 3-0 with the Yankees! If they win tonight…they go the THE WORLD SERIES!!!
Last night’s 2nd Presidential Debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney was remarkably different from the first one.
- For starters, President Obama actually stayed awake.
- TV viewers saw a lot of finger-pointing, but the networks cut away when the “middle finger pointing” started.
A lot of critics say their fears that liberal moderator Candy Crowley would be biased toward President Obama came true. They site the fact that she gave Obama 9% more time to talk and openly defended the President’s statements on the Libyan situation.
- At least she cancelled her plan to throw her panties at him while he was on stage.
