Wednesday on the Morning Show

Maine comedian Bob Marley joined the show on this day before Thanksgiving, serving up plenty of laughs as the gang chewed over Thanksgiving traditions, the holiday season, and current events.

Rich Johnson of FOX News called from the White House, where President Bush was fulfilling a Thanksgiving tradition by pardoning a turkey. Johnson also discussed the other presidential pardons announced this week, which, as Ray noted, did not include border patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, who are currently serving over a decade in prison for shooting and wounding an illegal alien drug smuggler.

Auburn Mayor John Jenkins visited the show to talk about local isses concerning his town, including the Wreaths Across America program, as well as his efforts to help residents pay for home heating oil.

Finally, Ray, Ted, and Bob talked turkey with "Mary" from the Butterball Turkey Hotline, which offers emergency advice and counseling to people trying to cook their Thanksgiving bird. (Do you need help with your turkey? Call 1-800-BUTTERBALL.)

Hi Ray,
It's Meg Wolff. Do you remember me from your show with Meredith Burgess & the pink license plate show?

I didn't realize you have a blog until today! Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving. I grew up in Westbrook.:-)

Sure I remember you. You were an inspiration that day. We were very glad you were a part of that show.

The license plate looks great and I am starting to see a lot of them around Maine.

It is a wonderful thing Meredith started and I am proud we were able to play a small role in making it happen.

Hope all is well.

Ray..How did Jimmy Carter create the financial mess in the 80's that we're in now? You referred to that earlier this week. cb
