07:20 Lamenting the outcome of the Buffalo Bills game (17-10 loss to the New York Jets) earlier the same day at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y. (where the game-time temperature was 45°)
07:30 Airing another pet peeve: When “TV people” (such as a WHEC-TV Channel 10 news anchor) assume everyone wants a white Christmas (no they don’t!)
08:47 Volunteers of America’s “Coats For Kids” benefit, Valvoline Instant Oil Change, Empire Vision and Mail Boxes Etc. references
09:08 Another gripe with “TV people”: It irks me when news anchors offer their on-air “thanks” to network reporters who cannot hear them!
09:39 Unidentified female (“Grazing In The Grass”)
10:13 Patty (“Tragedy”)
10:16 The lost art of having a civil political discussion despite diverging views: The caller, Patty, opposed the impeachment of President Bill Clinton (“What they did was lousy”); conversely, the host favored the House action (“I’m not a Clinton fan”) — in part because it was stronger than a censure; plus, with the Senate unlikely to convict Clinton, ultimately he would not be removed from office — but House approval of articles of impeachment “solidifies his place in history” (plus, tongue-in-cheek reference to nationally syndicated radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh ;-)
