D&D - Feb 3, 2009

Many mentions of Kwame Kilpatrick on today's show (on a side note, one of the things I like the most about the D&D Show is that the few political discussions, bloviations, debates or screaming matches they have are rarely about anything other than local Detroit politics). The Free Press' M.L. Elrick came on the show to discuss the Thug Mayor's release from prison (H3) and his new bodyguards from the Nation of Islam (H1). WXYZ's Steve Wilson was also scheduled to call in but, like Ian Anderson before him, he stood up D&D.

The details for the D&D Camp Out For Kids event were released -- Jeff & Bill will be spending the entire Valentine's Day weekend together in a trailer (H2). Charities for kids with leukemia and disabilities are honorable -- unlike Nicole Salem, who earned a "special place in Hell" for abusing a handicapped parking tag (H2). Another person who has a true disability (clowncarvaginism) is the Octomom from California who recently gave birth to a litter (H2) -- as opposed to Rudy, who may only have a learning disability. He'd rather pony up for a big-screen TV with his magic insurance money than pay off bills (H4). The beating he took from projectile shoes earlier in the show now seems justified (H2). People who came across as more stupid than disabled included Michael "Cheech" Phelps (H2), the idiots who call 911 with a spoofed caller-ID phone number (H4), and the guy who called 911 while being arrested (H4).

Other topics of the day ranged from Rudy's gayness about the anniversary of The Day the Music Died (H1), hilarious TV / movie / radio flipouts (Christian Bale, Bill O'Reilly, Bill Bonds, etc.) caught on tape (H3), a new website for people who deserve to be punched in the face (H1), a report about Capt. Sully's waived library book fees and the online game he inspired (H3), and an amusing parody of the Snuggie (H1). Chris Hardwick from G4's Attack of the Show was interviewed to close out the show (H4).

Other than Kwame, there were a few more (positive) Michigan stories mentioned. There's a new film studio in Pontiac that may help turn Michigan into "Hollywood East" (H2), calls were taken regarding suggestions for a replacement for Michigan's current State Song (H2), and Ed Welbern, V.P. of Global Design at General Motors called in to report from the Washington Auto Show (H1).
