Daily Lights

It’s day three of bookit week, and bee talks about a book she reads over and over, but never from start to finish. Always in bits and pieces in odd order. Maybe that’s because the book is in the form of a diary. And, just for Halloween, bee explains why she finds the trip inside the diarist’s head a little creepy. This is podcast No. 23: 31October2007.

It’s day two of bookit week, and we talk about one of the most sacred books of the last century. It’s the book that made us all feel like we weren’t completely alone and crazy out of our minds at a time when we really needed not to feel alone and crazy out of our minds. This is podcast No. 22: 30October2007.

Once upon a time, says bee, there was a reading incentive program for youngsters called “bookit.” She remembers it fondly and bemoans the fact that it no longer exists. bee will be relieved to know that the bookit program is alive and well, thank you very much, and bee simply outgrew it. But not her love of books. It’s bookit week here on Daily Lights, and bee talks books. Including this one, which she is reading now. This is podcast No. 21: 29October2007.

Okay, maybe we don’t quite heart huckabee, but we do talk huckabee and round up our week with the Republican Presidential candidates. Huckabee is the other man from Hope, another former Governor from Arkansas, the state which is fast becoming the new breeding ground for American Presidents. This is our last political discussion in this series, but it won’t be our last forever. We like talking politics. This is podcast No. 20: 26October2007.

We don’t like Rudolph Giuliani. Nope, not at all. In fact we find him completely loathsome (and Rolling Stone agrees with us). Why? It has something to do with ferrets. You need to listen to understand. This is podcast No. 19: 25October2007.

We like John McCain. Oh sure, all you Democrats may say we’re being fooled into thinking McCain is something of a Democrat. And you Republicans may say that McCain isn’t really Republican enough either. But we think the man in the middle would be a fine choice for President of these United States. Why? Stay tuned. This is podcast No. 18: 24October2007.

Yes, it’s Law and Order day here on Daily Lights, and we talk our way through life of Fred Thompson and his latecomer status to the Republican race. We confuse him for Howard Baker, compare him to Ronald Reagan, and wonder whether his comfort with the camera will make him our next President. But bee doubts his sincerity. This is podcast No. 17: 23October2007.

I think there’s an old saying that goes “Republicans: can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em.” Or something like that. This week we podcast our way through the Republican candidates for President. We start with Mitt Romney, who has ski jumped from CEO of the Winter Olympics into the front of the Republican primary process. Romney is a Morman, and we examine the role of religion in politics. This is podcast No. 16: 22October2007.

This week we will continue our discussion of politics, with a review around the Republican camps. As you know from listening to last week’s podcasts on the Democrats, we podcast in one sitting and then cut the discussion into five parts. Same thing again this week, but then on Monday, October 29th we’ll get back into live recordings in discrete, one day segments. The hour long conversations were a bit of an experiment on our part, and we think we like the daily episodes better. If you disagree, now is the time to speak up.

Today we wrap up our week’s discussion of the Democratic Presidential contenders with a few thoughts on Hillary Clinton. We like her. Why? You’ll have to listen. We also add a few words on Bill and find out what bee really thinks of Monica Lewinsky. This is podcast No. 15: 19October2007. Happy birthday, bee!
