Howie thread for the week starting with his Sunday Herald column. Just before 10 am now, as what is now Tropical Storm Irene heads through the northeast. Here on Boston's North Shore I can tell you from our Eyewitness Weather studio (where I look out the window and witness the weather) that it's light rain, not really windy. (It may pick up later but the storm is weakening though I'm sure it's a lot worse west of here)
Deval Patrick laments tragedy, fails to take action

My guess is that Hurricane Irene is going to kill a lot fewer Americans in Massachusetts this year than illegal aliens are. But dont tell that to Gov. Deval Patrick he doesnt want to talk about dead Americans and the drunk Ecuadorians who killed them.
On Friday afternoon, on live statewide TV, the governor went on and on at the MEMA bunker in Framingham about emergency preparations and mobilizing the National Guard, etc. But just as he was wrapping up, Jon Keller of Channel 4 decided to get in a question about Matthew Denice, the 23-year-old Milford motorcyclist run down and killed by an allegedly drunken illegal from Ecuador a week ago last night.
Deval had spent the week hiding behind a written statement from his flack about this latest illegal-alien atrocity. So Keller figured hed get something on videotape from the undocumented workers best friend in Massachusetts.
Well, Deval began, first of all its a terrible, terrible tragedy for that family and my heart goes out to them and my prayers to them and the community who are outraged.
Notice, he didnt name the family, or the community, even though he attended a hearing in Milford on Secure Communities, the program to round up criminals like the accused Ecuadorian. Naturally, Deval vehemently opposes Secure Communities, and next he explained why.
You know, illegal immigration didnt kill this person. A drunk driver killed this person.
Suppose an American had so brutally killed an illegal alien, dragging him down the street as he screamed, and then delivered the coup de grace by backing over him. You can bet Deval would not only have known the illegals name, but would have visited his family, cameras (and interpreters) in tow. But with only an American taxpayer dead, the governor wanted to keep the subject on drunken driving.
And, uh, we have laws about that.
Yeah, and despite what Marsha Coakley says, we also have laws about being in this country illegally. Not to mention laws against driving without a license, and assaulting police and firefighters, all of which this illegal alien is accused of violating with impunity.
This Ecuadorian roofers name is Nicholas Guaman, and hes not to be confused with another Ecuadorian roofer named Luis Guaman, whos accused of murdering a mother and her child in Brockton in February and then fleeing home.
By the way, this little scene took place in Framingham, where another illegal alien was arrested for drunken driving Wednesday night. This invader was from, of all places, Kenya, and his name is Obama. Im not making this up Onyango Obama, age 67.
Obama almost sideswiped a Framingham PD car, and then he had the nerve to tell the cop that he had, in effect, acted stupidly. The cops took Obama back to the police station, where cops said he blew a .14 on the Breathalyzer.
President Obama could not be reached for comment, nor could Auntie Zeituni. But Onyango Obama was held without bail, so one thing we can be sure of: Like Barack and Auntie Zeituni, he, too, is sitting around doing nothing, getting his three squares a day, compliments of the U.S. taxpayer. Celebrate diversity.
I hope Howie sees and puts this pic on his site for tomorrow - seen it a few places here today - it cracks me up every time I look at it.
ha..breaking news update on Ch 7 site: numerous organizations are closed today due to the storm
wow
Yes it is and I was there on Aug 8 of last year, seeing a NYC band called the Gas House Gorillas. Some have said the Spike TV show—state Sen. Bob Hedlund said he had seen in the other night—showed that “the Bone” as they like to call themselves was hemorrhaging money and conditions were bad. The night I was there, I had great steak tips and
some mozzarella sticks, a few beers. Sound good, so was the food and drink. But I guess they did go through a kind of
makeover.
From their site:
>>Wednesday, August 31
Boneoke w/ Scotty D.
8:30pm - 12:30am
Its not Karaoke its Boneoke! Get up on stage and WING IT with Scotty D! See how it feels to be a Rock Star, performing on a real stage with quality sound and lighting. Youll be backed up by a talented musician who can perform more than 500 songs. You cant do this at just some Karaoke Bar! Only At The Chicken Bone!
It might have been the epi.
Yes, I think Hedlund had said last night that he had seen it “just last night” aka Sunday. Spike used to be the Nashville Network but went through a remodel of their own, at the very least in name. I hadn’t heard of the show.
11 minute preview of the episode with Chicken Bone

I occasionally confuse "Bar Rescue" with "Bar Karma", the latter
seems like it could be an interesting show, but it's on "The Algor
Network", and as such, I avoid it.
Howie is on with McScreamer now and said she will be in for him for 1.5 hrs tomorrow as he goes to the ballgame with someone from Hollywood...ugh. Her Ch 5 gig starts Mon
I just heard it - mcscreamer in for Howie tomorrow - I was going to post it here but you beat me to it, I did post it on the chicken bone thread!
for 1.5 hours, prob 5:30-7
Come 5:30 - CLICK!
I didn’t find McScreamer to be all that bad. More tolerable than Avi.
These are some of the most spectacularly ugly people I’ve ever seen.
I have been off listening to Howie for a while because of his Love In session with Steve from Montreal, and was glad to hear McPhee
I think of his latest guest substitution list, she was the best of the group.
I will agree her voice to takes little to get used to, but her topic content is safe so she doesnt veer too far off course from what Howies listeners are expecting.
T-shirts are in,,,,Howie will be broadcasting from the Chicken Bone tomorrow - he’ll have T-shirts to give away.
