That's Bernie -- new inmate number when he himself was not a particularly social man -- Country clubs who suffered so terribly from this those people would know. Cruises I mean they've recruited by mrs. -- go. She was the contact. Nations -- criminal."

" He give it a fraction of the pain we feel is if they skipped his wife and family. Of all their assets and threw them in jail with him that's what I was -- made."

" Now how the walrus. You want answers trying to get. And it entitles you to launch. Obama how Lloyd -- WR film radio networks."

Oh lead today the guys stole fifty million dollars. He as he has beaten to win Ortiz met Reese Hopkins yes. There's no word on that yet. But a touching scene irregulars and share. I I know he's not at the same prisoners the former mid day host here at -- WRKO but does just I thought it works. It seemed appropriate joke for the occasion. Okay see -- what is a poll question and one of the results thus far. Should -- may not ever be allowed to leave prison. No absolutely not where I desperate ups literally -- her results okay. Now. Let's just get right to hear the the first topic of the day. As you know yesterday the the 410. Billion dollar stimulus package. Where is assigned yesterday. By president Barack Obama. It and eat it he said that the he wasn't going to sign any more bills with the earmarks kind of sound like an LP you know I just give me one more drink and don't quit drinking. But he says he's not gonna he's going to assign any more this is the in the line for the easier marks in these these kind of pork specials here. -- Listen to how the money is being spent here and I know a lot of you know as I've forgotten a lot of my emails and faxes about this already this morning. And this afternoon. More than one out of every five dollars of the 10026. Million dollars Massachusetts is receiving in earmarks from 410. Billion dollar federal spending package. Is going toward helping to preserve the legacy of the Kennedys. Including a multi million dollar center focused in part on senator Edward M Kennedy's own legacy. The bill includes five point eight million dollars for the planning and design."

" The planning to design I -- you were supposed to be shovel ready projects. How was it shop already. If it's gotta be. Plant. Tweaking that same thing what this sudden Greenway project for rose Kennedy. It hasn't. Been designed yet. I thought we wanted to get the economy moving put people back to work how does this do that. The spending also includes when he --"

" Million dollars to expand facilities at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum. And five million more for new gateway to the Boston Harbor Islands on the rose Kennedy Greenway that's the other thing I was talking about a park system in downtown Boston named for. Kennedy's mother on land opened up by the big big highway project. Now you know c'mon I know that Ted Kennedy is sick and a you know everybody's feeling a sentimental nostalgia act. But. When he two million for that library. I did some check in this morning -- people go to a library every year. A 185000."

" That's not a bad number. But it's the same number is little over five Red Sox games at Fenway Park. It's three patriots games. In Foxborough."

" 22 million box do they really need 22 million box for the Kennedy library. You know the thing about. This money. 22 million dollars. Is about what woeful one for death. Of what the turnpike. Needs to pay off these swaps and that's why they're reusing the polls because they need a hundred million dollars to 22 million for the Kennedy library would provide a lot of the money that they need. All -- at the turnpike to stop the -- from going up. I'd rather have the money go to prevent me from getting a toll increase than fixing up the Kennedy library Kelly I'm Linda Kennedy library it's very nice I don't know what more they need to do. But unleashed cafeteria there you ever met -- you know goes to the cafeteria of the way it -- in the afternoon. Staffers from the globe. There's going to be a lot less of a waiting line that they get the -- cafeteria very shortly because there are about to have some layoffs at the Boston Globe. I'm sure staffers and Harold are allowed into. But we're not across the street unlike the Boston Globe. Now maybe you -- and then how -- they going to war expand facilities again you know the globe got a lot of empty space -- the time magazine may soon be out of business. Maybe they can use the 22 million dollars to buy the a global plant. Right across some Morrissey boulevard. My question for you -- Is this the best use of taxpayer dollars to to give people these big kisses I'm sure I'm sure there're. All sorts. A mother kisses in these in all of these stimulus packages I was reading the F Cambridge chronicle the other day you know what there's been -- of foreign Cambridge the -- Bicycle paths. Bicycle paths. You -- algae -- of -- south wind when no way when you're trying to get to -- Darlington I don't think so they'll still be on mass shaft. The course well one of the other stimulus projects they're going to spend it. When he one million dollars on enough on 4000 solar garbage key -- mean is that good use of of federal money. I don't think so. At 187746. Fifth of the money is going to the Kennedy for gambling."

" I mean did not just again I know he's he's he set to end you know while -- to what to be -- to be very kind at this point I'm not I'm not put down Ted Kennedy at this at this point. But I did seem to read somewhere very recently that he's one -- still one of the richest senators worth a couple of hundred million dollars. I mean if if they need to spend this kind of money. -- the family come up some money for a 185000. People visit that's 500 people a day. -- not bad it's it's not a bad crowd but."

" I'm guessing the cheers bar gets more than 500 people a day come and and the ball in French. And guess what they just they just laid off the bartender. They're famous bartender. 18774694322. Was this is this the best way that they can -- spend money for the economic recovery. A hundred and twenties a 125 million dollars for the Kennedy family Tom your -- with how we cargo ahead Tom."

" I would get out there and our idea. They are you know they should make like build right like Donna is may where you can be easily beat the driver -- the passenger in the rose mobile. You know what I mean."

" I'll let you I'll let you say that Tom I'll meet thank you can expect by 187746943. At two to -- your -- with how we cargo ahead dec."

" I don't -- How waiting everybody they have an order for a Democrat they gotta look in America and blame themselves to that now. How much more are the people not just in matches has been in the country. When you put the big magnifying glass and the spotlight on this bill. Just just how we think this is hoping it meant that the crowning glory how -- is in this DM statement. 15. Of that money is going to honor a family of -- Family. People let it they live they just Israel lift touch everything but the third -- any -- their third rail but."

" By the way do you know who's who's going to win the profiles in courage award this year but it it it. Of course who else would be there was a nationwide search."

" Yeah exactly but. How how can people stand dissident. -- shot -- he's like those what Olympia -- she's got reelected because they think it has the five and a half years. Is that -- for the people forget how they voted to spend this money."

" you want -- region John Kerry's quote on this I'm afraid. This that's what this is the 22 million dollar JFK library your mark -- and again. -- I don't allow any more the stuff beat. He's put his foot down once -- finishes signing this bill which she didn't do in front of a camera by the way he went behind closed doors to sign it that's how happy and proud he was to be associated whether this -- what John Kerry said about his earmark for the 22 million for the JFK library. This national archives project will eliminate the worst archival storage space problem in the presidential library system. While that's something I've been lose a lot of sleep over how much do you protect."

" Well look at it this way colleagues at least wind carries time comes as some of a lot of room. They could -- all supported and of foam both."

" There will facilitate. Six years of war to expand the library. Six years of war in this shovel ready project will also bring much needed jobs to the area. Right. Probably get a contract how well will soon though what we've got a right. Thanks for the call 18774694322. Darren your next with how we cargo ahead Darren."

" Now way I think this warrants lifting of the ban of take Kennedy's sound 'cause somehow a car show."

" I think we've we've just been looking for them there and there was no it was just sort of a problem that we were having."

" No the oh that's been a while that's great I think we need a nice montage of them later on in the days."

" We're we're gonna do well we're going to let you pick you're own favorite sound effects of -- car show that'll be tomorrow sometime will be doing that Darren. Thanks for the call 18774694322. How was this going to bring the economy around I want to know that's how how is this going to. Put people back to work what is it. What does this have to do with economic recovery this is this is a payoff. To some guy. Who you again he's been in the Senate a long time his brother was the president but the fact is he was the first. Major. Democrat in 2008. To endorse Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton. Along with Caroline Kennedy and so now what do we got 22 million dollars for the first guy to endorse. Barack Obama. I mean does that sound like a quid pro quo Odeo. -- a lot more what more like a quid pro quo than a dozen economic recovery to make. Chuck you're next with how we cargo ahead shock."

" boot strap -- until -- I have two point tabloid debate. Up your day with just up the big step it was package that are possibly double the ballpark -- about 300 to shut -- They did -- Bob -- ropes or the highway. So we just got the stimulus package what sport are here. And I'll tell you what more -- well when Joe aren't cheery guy they are up proverb that Bartlett -- job.

" I agree Brett you know then and that's all it is like I've said this from big -- in the beginning I I remember the 1970s the comprehensive employment and training act just eight. -- complete. Waste of money just just setting people up to remain on the public payroll for their entire life and this is this is just more of the same."

" And that the Ted Kennedy institute that they also factor in the cost of insulating -- driver hits simulators."

" here's the difference he doesn't think it's our money he thinks it's his money. -- well. Under such as the president it's all the whole Democrat congress they thought they -- They -- but they think it's their money I don't like it's like the mafia you know. What's what's theirs isn't the heirs and what's ours is there while."

" You know what it's your time. They're gonna trade union brought up -- well we're gonna get a chance you're gonna pay yet. They're going to get 995. Million dollars for the Palestinians. And then you're gonna turn around and pay everybody off -- your time."

" This union. -- and all but what -- card check bill this is this is really bad trouble with this card check bill the unions are saying now that the the the they don't like the banks saying that there are -- card check in the you know most secret ballots for union elections. And they want the government to cut off all the money to the banks that are over that are lobbying against a card check bill. I mean that what -- what about -- These -- freedom of speech -- the guaranteed by the US constitution First Amendment bill of rights."

" They want control. They want control they've got control they don't happen and it did anybody but you know what they're going to do it well. They can augment some real big trouble because. People not all stupid. They did not go to the same school he gave us -- there once but this stimulus is that chulk. -- compound that by -- this war on top of this so called gift for Christmas."

" And you know well I think about it you know written we're getting all together 126 million dollars a 126 million dollars from the state of Massachusetts. Forget it forget the 15 that's going to the Kennedys. How much did you take the entire 126 million and just get rid of these swaps and on the Mass Turnpike and how are you keep that we keep all the all the money in people's pockets."

" Right and I don't I had meanwhile like -- these big philanthropists. Pretty big moneymaker big senators sit there are awful lot here come across the -- My kick my earmarking number spread throughout the commonwealth you know whatever the Taliban didn't do something good -- common sense what would -- poured a cup."

Her husband by the way is the would you care to guess if he works in the public sector of the dreaded private sector although I didn't take long did -- you're absolutely correct he works in the public sector. He was forced out of his judgeship when he what when he turned seventy they have an aide John limit. And so I guess you -- is tension built up enough for the judge Scholl. Now he's a and administrative. Law judge at the division of industrial accidents 413. Thousand dollars a year. Isn't that nice so that that if that's -- that's -- for him we take isn't it from the common -- the cash strapped the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 288000. Dollars a year in Oklahoma got jobs since Deval Patrick became governor.

Public buildings that's actually. Very stylish. Very. A very attractive building."
