The topic of discussions this morning was video poker. State Sen. Robert Ford of Charleston says he can raise $1 billion in new money for schools and tax breaks by putting a 25 percent tax on video games. Robert Ford is one the Democrats hoping to replace Governor Mark Sanford. Matt and Nine like this idea. They think that people can control their gambling habbits
I think its a bad idea. Video Poker was outlawed in 2000. Why should we bring it back?

Mackenzie Phillips says she had a sexual relationship with her father, John Phillips, a member of the ’60s Mamas and the Papas band. People magazine says Phillips writes in her new book, “High on Arrival,” that she had sex with her father on the night before she was to get married in 1979.
Phillips starred on TV’s “One Day at a Time.” The magazine’s Web site says Phillips writes: “I woke up that night from a blackout to find myself having sex with my own father.”
We were talking about this book on the morning show.
Matt says that she is just trying to make money off of the book. I think that she is doing it for revenge. Mackenzie is letting people know that her dad did some terrible things to her. She must feel a lot of guilt and shame. To release a book after her fathers death does seem a little exploitive.

It was brought to my attention yesterday that the problem with our Country is that no one is accountable for their our own actions.  What are we teaching our children?  This discussion stems from the ridiculous behavior from Kanye West at the VMA’s . Folks are still talking about Kanye.  Some people say that Kanye should be boycotted from any awards show. Others believe the whole thing was staged.   Regardless, bad behavior- is bad behavior.  Janet Jackson was held accountable for what she did at a public performance.   We are tired of these stunts.  I would rather be entertained by the talent of the performers than witness such stupidity.  It is not just the people in the entertainment industry that  are guilty of having too much self importance.  Politicians  have forgotten that they were hired by the people to perform a job.  We Americans are are sick of the Frat House aptmosphere  in Washington.  Sex scandals, pranks, and childish behavior. The blameworthiness of our leaders.   Who is actually working up there?  In fact up in Washington today the House is wasting our tax money.   Today our legislators are voting on a  resolution on how to scold South Carolina Republican Congressman Joe Wilson for shouting “You lie!” at President Barack Obama. Wilson is refusing to apologize to the House, saying his apology to the White House was enough. Republican leaders are backing him.
