PHOTO INDEX: 13 QUESTIONS LOGO.

13 QUESTIONS

1. ANY THOUGHTS ON THE STIMULUS PLAN?

IT MIGHT NOT BE PERFECT BUT AT LEAST IT IS SOME FORM OF ACTION. THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION DID NOTHING WHILE THE WORKING AND MIDDLE CLASS WENT DOWN THE TUBES. SO I’M THINKING THIS WILL HAVE A POSITIVE EFFECT.

2. ANY FAVORITES FOR THE 2012 GOP RACE?

WHAT????!!! OBAMA HAS BEEN IN OFFICE FOR LESS THAN 60 DAYS. GIVE HIM SOME SLACK. BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, LOOK FOR NEWT GINGRICH TO CONTINUE TO POSITION HIMSELF FOR A RUN. I THINK HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN A BETTER CANDIDATE IN ’08 THAN McCAIN. SO IF YOU MUST, WATCH HIM.

3. ESPN RADIO OR FOX SPORTS RADIO?

ESPN.

4. WHAT WILL BE THE ULTIMATE OUTCOME OF THE COURTHOUSE SCANDALS?

AT THIS POINT IT IS TOO EARLY TO TELL. THE DEMOCRATS BEAR A LARGE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT BECAUSE THEY WERE IN POWER. BUT IT WOULD NOT SURPRISE ME TO SEE MORE, NEW DEMOCRATS ELECTED BECAUSE OF THE SHEEP MENTALITY OF MANY OF THE VOTERS IN OUR AREA. THERE SEEMS TO BE AN INABILITY TO THINK OUT OF THE BOX HERE IN LULAC LAND. THE GOP CAN CHANGE THAT BUT WE STILL HAVE TO SEE HOW THEY DO WITH ITS FIRST EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND NEW ENERGY. BUT THEY NEED NUMBERS, REGISTRATION NUMBERS. THEY NEED OBAMA LIKE COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS WHO CAN GET BODIES TO THE POLLS. AND PERSONAL OPINION HERE, THEY HAVE TO STOP RUNNING AGAINST EACH OTHER IN PRIMARIES AND WASTING TIME, MONEY AND ENERGY. LOOK AT THE JUDICIAL CANDIDATES, ONE OUT OF 17 IS A MEMBER OF THE GOP. YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THE PARTY COULDN’T RECRUIT TWO MORE ATTORNEYS TO RUN AND CROSS FILE? I WISH THEM THE BEST BUT IT’LL BE A LONG HARD CLIMB.

5. ANY SPECIAL MEMORIES OF ST. PATRICK’S DAY?

OH A FEW. MY FIRST LUNCH WITH MRS. LULAC WAS ON ST. PATRICK’S DAY AT A CHINESE RESTAURANT NO LESS. I MET HUBERT HUMPHREY WITH MY UNCLE TIMMY PRIBULA IN 1972 AT THE FRIENDLY SONS DINNER IN PITTSTON. WENT TO A FEW WILKES BARRE DINNERS WHEN I WAS A MEMBER OF THE KILLER BEES SOFTBALL LEAGUE. I USED TO MARCH IN THE ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARADE IN SCRANTON WHEN I WAS ON THE STAFF AT ROCK 107. I ALSO HAD THE LATE GOVERNOR CASEY SIGN HIS BOOK FOR ME ON ST. PATRICK’S DAY. SO I HAVE A BUNCH OF MEMORIES ON THIS DAY. NOT BAD FOR A SLOVAK BOY FROM PITTSTON.

6. WILL TOOMEY KNOCK OFF SPECTER IN THE SENATE RACE IN 2010?

MAYBE. BUT IF PEG LUKSIC IS IN THE RACE, LOOK FOR THE RIGHT WING TO SPLIT THE VOTE.

7. SO YOU’LL SWITCH PARTIES TO VOTE FOR SPECTER IN THE PRIMARY LIKE YOU DID IN ’04?

YEP.

8. FAVORITE OLD SCHOOL MUSICIAN?

DUKE ELLINGTON HANDS DOWN.

9. RUSH LIMBAUGH, RIGHT OR WRONG FOR AMERICA?

NEITHER. THE GUY IS A RADIO ENTERTAINER. HE HAS BEEN DOING THIS ACT FOR 2 DECADES. HE IS CONSERVATIVE BUT DOESN’T SPEAK FOR A POLITICAL PARTY. I THINK HE’D LIKE TO HAVE YOU BELIEVE THAT. BUT EVEN IF HIS ESTIMATED 20 MILLION LISTENERS VOTE IN LOCKSTEP ON HIS BELIEFS, THERE ARE MORE THAN THAT NUMBER OF VOTERS OUT THERE THAT WILL SHADOW THAT FIGURE. HE’S A RADIO GUY WHO HIT THE POT OF GOLD. BUT HE CAN’T BEGIN TO TAKE HIMSELF TOO SERIOUSLY OR ELSE IT’S OVER FOR HIM.

10. TYLENOL OR ADVIL?

BEFORE MY OPERATION, I TOOK ALEVE FOR PAIN RELIEF FOR MY ACCIDENT. THREE IN THE MORNING TO LOOSEN MY MUSCLES UP. BUT AFTER THAT, I SWITCHED TO TYLENOL. I HAVE NO PREFERENCE. BUT I DO HAVE A VIDEO OF TWO EXPERTS IN THE FIELD. YOU DECIDE AFTER VIEWING THIS. (VIDEO LINK BROKEN, SORRY).

11. DO YOU AGREE WITH JOE BIDEN’S ASSERTION THAT DICK CHENEY WAS A DANGEROUS VICE PRESIDENT?

YES.

12. ANY MOVIES YOU’RE HANKERING TO SEE?

“W” AND “FROST NIXON”. HAVE TO GET THEM ON DVD.

13. HOW WOULD YOU AS PRESIDENT GET OSAMA BIN LADEN OUT OF HIS HOLE?

I’D TAKE MY GOOD BUDY CHET BUROSKI WHO WAS WARM’S CHIEF ENGINEER FOR YEARS AND WIRE THE COUNTRYSIDE WITH SOUND AND BLARE THIS SONG OUT TO HIM. THE SONG COMES TO US FROM SUE HENRY AND BOSCO AT WILK RADIO. I'D THANK THEM BUT OSAMA WOULD NOT.
