This guy Howie Carr is excellent.
Funny story on Howie's show yesterday: A female caller
said she and her family were driving back from Philly.
They wanted to stop to eat but wanted to go to a place
where the help spoke English, if you know what I mean.
"Howie, we go to a 2-story fast food place in Connecticut.
We ask if they have a rest room and are told, _si_...
The whole staff and almost everyone in the restaurant are
aliens...So my 9 year old son, who's listened to your show with me, starts singing 'Everything free in Ame-ri-ca...'"
I cracked up at that one.
Patrick keeps screwing up and saying "I'm sorry! I'm trying!" I'm waiting for him to use that line from the old Saturday Night Live skit "The Black Shadow" in which (I believe) Bill Russell, playing a coach who kept doing drugs and getting girls pregnant, responded to every accusation with "It's because I'm black, isn't it?"
I know that I don't know the Coke story (and the only info that seems to be around is vague). I didn't even know that there was a Texaco story, much less a Clinton Justice Department story! Deval's too awful even for the Clintons???
Anyone know any of the details?
BTW, what is this $350,000 a year as a director of Ameriquest? I always thought pay for directors was pretty much nominal -- as is fitting for someone who basically goes to maybe four meetings a year. My info may be just outdated (I have no reason to keep up with what directors are paid -- more's the pity!), but that sounds awfully steep!
I experienced much the same at an Andover MA, Burger King. Anticipating crowds, I stopped early at 4PM. The place was empty, so some staff member put on a loud salsa melody and all the staff started dancing. I stood at the cash register—ignored—until it was over. >>Sigh<<
Thanks Jorge....
I heard that story as well, funny stuff and she was afraid they would spit in her food, lol, I think it's wonderful that this woman's son is so in tune with what's going on in the USA, we can thank Howie for informing the masses!
Don't blame me either, I voted for Muffy as well!
RECALL
Classic Howie!
I called it in to Howie (and VB)—maybe in 2001? Can't pin it just on Jorge.
Maybe raccoonradio remembers my BK anecdote?
Been listening and reading Howie since the 80's, wish I could get him on my XM.
'Howie' is the best radio out there...
When Rush is away, Howie should be given the opportunity to play on EIB.
And I continue in my hope that maybe, someday, the political pendulum will swing the other way in New England, and it will become a place worth living in again.
I don't like Deval, but can he be THAT bad already?? He's only been there a couple of months.
"I don't like Deval, but can he be THAT bad already?? He's only been there a couple of months."
"Yes he can!"
He refused to sign a Proclamation honoring Ronald Reagan's 100th birthday.
OMG!! How pathetic.
