The Tom Bauerle Show

Happy to see the Amherst Town Board following East Aurora's lead on the urban farming issue.

If you've never had a farm fresh, freshly-laid egg you don't know what you are missing.

The politicians in Amherst are now working on ways to make this work for the Marks Family and others.

Good for them!
 

Our show on guilty musical pleasures and forgotten hits is STILL generating a lot of feedback.

Your host is enjoying picking out the three musical bumps every day, and the selection process has become one of my favorite parts of the job!

Isn't it amazing how a song like Paul Young's "Everytime You Go Away" can sound so awesome when you haven't heard it in a while?
 

I am glad to see Ontario considering the de jure legalization of sex-workers.

No one wants to see street hookers, but what goes on behind closed doors between consenting adults is not my concern.

Eventually, perhaps they'll have the high-end places for those with money to blow and big box outlets that are more budget-friendly.
 

Can you imagine the hits President Bush would be taking during a re-election campaign if his Secret Service people were involved in alleged sexual misconduct? Or if his GSA had a big blowout bash on taxpayers' dime?

The media will use pejorative words when reporting on GOP/conservative folks, but they hold President Obama close to their busoms.
 

Remember all the shots Bill Clinton took at George Bush when Bush was president, even as Bush was generous and glowingly complimentary when unveiling the official portrait of the Clintons?

W has been silent on President Obama.

Why are Republicans so afraid to attack Obama's policies? Will they ever grow a set?

No.

 

I am not a fan of David Bellavia or Chris Collins, but I'd vote for either over Kathy "She's Everywhere! She's Everywhere!" Hochul.

It is great that Mario Williams loves guns! Good for him and shame on the NFL for discouraging its players from enjoying their Second Amendment Rights.
 

The conservative wing of the GOP threw everything-and everyone-at Mitt Romney.

Mitt Romney survived everyone and everything and is poised to be the challenger to President Obama.

He deserves the nomination.

Like it or not, he earned it.

Whether Romney will "rally the base" is an open question, but I suspect the Republican base will turn out in droves to try to oust the president.
 

Dealing with the New York State DMV is draining.

They sent me a letter claiming my insurance carrier had dropped me.

My insurance carrier provided the documentation that I have had continuous coverage.

I sent it to DMV Albany, but apparently the people there cannot read.

I sent them exactly the info they wanted, and they sent me a second letter asking for the information I'd already sent them.

And they never even bothered calling my insurance company to verify my info.

Arghhhhhhhh..............

Monday's show was fun, as it brought back a lot of memories of some of the atrocious music of the 1970's.

Just think: for as bad as it was, people actually bought the records of Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods, Harry Gross and Clint Holmes.

One wonders what future musicologists will say about what we think is cool.

How many more Americans need to die in Afghanistan and Iraq? Our brave forces have done everything they were expected to do and then some. It is long past the time for Afghanistan and Iraq to stand on their own, and for the USA to make sure that those who served receive the finest medical and mental care available. Want to show your patriotism? Hire a veteran. Thank you to all who served and did a GREAT job over there.

I certainly hope the USA will think twice and more about entering into another war over there, as in "Iran."

Did I hear that some woman in Baltimore refuses to share her Mega Millions with coworkers in the lottery pool?

I'll bet she's somebody's ex-wife.

Ouch.

Am finding less and less to enjoy about the late-night comedians. Letterman, Leno, Conan, Fallon. Same politics. Same script. Emetical.

I'll take Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton seriously when they regularly protest interracial violent crimes by blacks against people of other races.

I wonder how many young black men have been killed by other young black men since Trayvon?

I wonder how many "white Hispanics" have been killed by black men since Trayvon?

Then again, I also wonder if break-ins are down in Sanford, Florida.

My elderly mom says you can have her hoodie when you take it from her cold, dead hands.

I love you,
You love me,
We're a happy family
