"Anyone listening to KEZ's Christmas music this year? Do they play anything else besides ‘Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree' by Brenda Lee, ‘Silver Bells' by Doris Day and ‘Jingle Bell Rock' by Bobby Helms? Last year they played those three songs ad nauseum, and I'm wondering if they added more variety to their repertoire this year."
"Am I correct in assuming that the Arizona Republican Party is going to reimburse the state for the costs of Jan Brewer's efforts to gerrymander a more GOP-friendly redistricting map?"
"You RINOs and your liberal Democrat colleagues must really hate and fear Russell Pearce. Maybe you should. Some of us will vote for him no matter what office he runs for. How about Maricopa County Sheriff after Joe packs it in?"
"Since Obama took credit for Osama Bin Laden's assassination, is he going to take the blame for the feds ignoring this latest terrorist they just arrested in NYC?"
"Obama pardoned two turkeys? The turkeys should have pardoned him and sent to a farm ... Leavenworth!"
"Hey Brewer and Horne, can you stop violating our rights and stop holding up the medical marijuana law? I'm tired of having to go down to my local high school and buy it from the kids in the parking lot."
"The final score is in on the 12-member Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction: Grover Norquist 1, the American people 0."
"I'd like the government's ‘Super-Committee' to help me with my finances. I have maxed out all of my credit cards, and there are so many sales I wanted to take advantage of on Black Friday. Please tell me how to spend more money than I have to reduce my credit card debt. I would be very interested to know. Just paying down my debt isn't working for me."
"John Latson, you had a non-value added job when you worked. People amused themselves by mocking your views. You were a goof then and you're a goof now."
"In Mesa, if you get a ticket for a traffic light violation just toss it and if you have an accident in one of these Mesa intersections, sue the City of Mesa. They have a red hand that's flashing and no one knows how long and some count down and when it gets to zero it turns yellow. Some continue on 8 to 10 seconds before the light turns red, some have a red hand that's just red. I'm sure Mayor Scott Smith will take care of this when he gets done pouring heat strips along the canals, which is so much more important than saving someone's life."
"The $50 million, Catholic Community Foundation of Phoenix wanted to honor the past Bishop of Phoenix, Bishop O'Brien at a gala dinner. Does that name ring a bell? He was convicted of felony hit-and-run in the death of a pedestrian and just got probation. Two weeks before that, Bishop O'Brien signed a court agreement that he allowed priests under his supervision to have contact with minors after he became aware of allegations of criminal sexual misconduct. Bishop O'Brien declined the honor after families of victims protested. What convicted felon will this foundation be honoring next?"

1st Venter: I've noticed it too. Pretty lame huh?
2nd Venter: I have not seen any costs associated with your accusal of Republican gerrymandering. Will they be higher than the Democratic gerrymandering costs?
3rd Venter: Yes, the fear of the Neo-Libs and RINOs is quite evident! What until November 2012, it will be stifling!!
4th Venter: No. Being the ultimate narcissist, Obama only takes credit for those things that make him look good (this list is short). He turns into the Teflon President when things are bad as nothing sticks to him. Besides... ITS ALWAYS BUSH'S FAULT!
5th Venter: Considering the fallout that is still on the way from his Fast and Furious bungle, Leavenworth may not be out of the equation. We can only hope.
6th Venter: Good for you! The medical marijuana bill was a mistake.
7th Venter: The blue collar taxpayers will always be scoreless as long as the DemocRATS are in the WH.
8th Venter: You need to ask the DemocRATS this question as they are the ones speding our money like drunken sailors. The Super Commitee was nothing but a sham.

9th Venter: So I take it that you are not a member of the John Latson fan club?
10th Venter: Let me guess... you regularly disobey traffic laws and signaling devices and refuse to take the blame for your bad driving.
11th Venter: Sure seems to be some corruptness in the Catholic Church huh?

10th venter: Where did you get your driver's license? The "red hand" I believe you speak of and the "countdown" are for the benefit of pedestrians crossing in a marked cross-walk to let them know how long they have to get to the other side before traffic flows. You can note that this marking is NEVER overhead/up above with the red-yellow-green traffic lights, but off to the side aligning with the pedestrian cross-walk, so it is NOT intended for a driver's benefit....although a considerate driver (especially one making a right turn) would pay attention at these intersections to ensure they don't run over foot traffic!!.

Switch stations! It's that simple. Otherwise they'll think you like it.
Second Venter:
Please tell us just who or what makes you think this might be so?
Third Venter:
How about something Russell's more qualified for, like dog catcher? Or is that where Joe's headed next?
Fourth Venter:
Actually, according to the FBI this kid was not trained and did not know what he was doing. So the question is "When truth wills out, will anyone be taking credit?" Clearly the Times Square Bomber did not know what he was doing! And I've been trained in IEDs since 1973! There is no way what the Times Square guy put together could go boom! But the stuff this Jamacan guy supposedly put together could tear up a trash can or two.
What I find interesting is the "re-inactments" the police do showing this stuff go boom! It's almost pure Hollywood! And I've taken out much more than my share of trash cans.
Fifth Venter:
The only way Obama goes to Leavenworth is if we vote in to office a Turkey or two and they do this work for us. And judging from the look of things now, that's precisely what our gang of eight, our current field of candidates, is trying to do.
Sixth Venter:
Brewer and Horne are going us all a favor. Where SB1070 is unconstitutional, the medical marajuana laws are only in conflict with higher federal law. So watch out. If the state does not get you, the Feds surely will.
Seventh Venter:
You sure got that score right!
Eighth Venter:
Try declaring independence and creating your own currency! Remember, Rick Perry threatned doing this.
Ninth Venter:
So tell us just who is John Latson, anyway and why should we care?
Tenth Venter:
So how did you enjoy traffic school? I learned that Mesa has the most intersection accidents and the most unpredictable yellow light durations of any city in the state. Southern is the epicenter! You'd think Mesa would learn from the rest of its surrounding cities! But maybe those fines are holding together its budget? Next time, try community service. That way something good can come out of your experiences with Mesa traffic lights.
Eleventh Venter:
And some think that Joe Paterno and Penn State have a problem!
