“How ’bout them Boys!”

Host: Stan Cox

Larry Fain misses a second, (and hopefully) final week after having oral surgery.  Stan spends time this week exercising his filibuster privileges, and talking about Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, the Dallas Cowboys, two examples of Hollywood immorality (Madonna and Jennifer Aniston), and our smoking (literally) President-elect Barack Obama!  (Note:  There is an occasional “glitch” in the audio, I’m not sure where it came from.  It does not greatly impact the program, just an occasional “click”, but I am aware of it, and I will do some testing to make sure it doesn’t crop up again next week).

Show Notes:

• Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich indicted for trying to sell Obama’s senate seat. We may have to give Obama a pass on this one, as it doesn’t seem that he is involved, it gives us an opportunity to talk about the pervasive use of profanity in our society.
  • Bleep!  Illinois Governor’s Recordings Show Colorful Language
  • Illinois AG Asks High Court to Declare Governor Unfit
• Dallas Cowboys controversy with Terrell Owens and the other receivers complaining about Tony Romo throwing too often to the tight end! The dysfunctional Dallas Cowboys are imploding as we speak.  Stan (who is a fan) predicts the Cowboys will not make the playoffs.  But, it speaks to another society problem.  Arrogance and a sense of entitlement that is too prevalent.
  • Cowboys Phillips Dismisses Rift Among Players
    
• More Examples of “Hollywood” Immorality. The antics of two ladies, Madonna and Jennifer Aniston, give us the latest examples of a prurient and immoral segment of our society.  Unfortunately, these ladies are rather influential, especially among the young.
  • Lustful Madonna Offends God, Says Clergyman
  • Jennifer Aniston Not Nervous to Get Naked
• Obama A Smoker. He has tried to hide it, but Barack Obama smokes cigarettes.  He is trying to quit, and is being trumpeted yet again as a potential savior.  This time by his example making America healthy again!  They are going to be disappointed, but many in America truly believe that Obama is going to perform miracles immediately upon ascending to the Presidency!
  • Anti-Smoking Groups Hope Obama Will Be Role Model
    
• Stan’s Weekly Rant: This time Stan’s daughter, Kendra Cox, rants on the River Oaks Police Department. Kendra Cox writes a letter to the editor about the hypocrisy in the River Oaks Police Department (a suburb of Fort Worth), where a D.A.R.E. officer warns children about tobacco use, while officers on duty patrol the city with cigarette in hand.  Stan reads the letter.  To read it yourself, click here!
• Larry’s Bible Verse: Stan again fills in for Larry, quoting from Matthew 19 in response to the latest cover story of Newsweek magazine, where author Lisa Miller argues that neither Jesus nor the Bible ever explicitly states that marriage is defined as one man and one woman.
  • Gay Marriage: Our Mutual Joy
• Stan’s Website Review: Well known gospel preacher and writer, Robert Turner, published a monthly periodical, Plain Talk, for 20 years.  Brother Turner passed away last year, but gave his permission for all 20 years of Plain Talk be published online.  He was a wonderful and sage writer, and you would benefit greatly by reading his interesting, humorous, and always enlightening articles.  The articles are found on the Cedar Park church of Christ’s website, and can be accessed by clicking here.
