Sr Moment Notes...

I apologize for being late with this info but here is the latest from Julie Hilbert. I have included a email she sent me that will help explain:

Hi Bob,



I have attached a form of a 1040a that people can see in order to file for the Stimulus payment. Here are a few key points that will help people in getting this rebate:



1. People need to file a federal form 1040a in order to receive the rebate. It is not automatic.

2. Forms can be obtain through FDL Senior Center or Public Library and Senior Services.

3. If people have already filed taxes (State and Federal) they are automatically going to be receiving the rebate. Nothing more needs to be done.

4. Anyone making over $3,000 in income such as social security, pensions, railroad retirement and the like will be eligible for a $300.00 rebate.



Anyone with questions can call Julie Hilbert at 929-3521.

A Great Website for politics...

Today we talked a bit about where you go for your political information. I want to thank all our callers for their input. I mentioned a very good site called Real Clear Politics. This is a one stop shopping experience for all things politics. If you check it out please let me know what you think.

Who do you love to hate?

Mr Movie and I discussed a couple of our favorite movie villians today on the morning show. Now it is your turn to chime in on this subject. Who are some of the great bad guys that you " love to hate"? Please leave a comment and we will discuss the results at a later date. Ok, have at it.

Mr Movie visits again...

Here are this week's new releases that we talked about this morning.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

Across the Universe

The Brave One

Elizabeth: The Golden Age

2 Days in Paris

The Jane Austen Book Club

Midnight Express

Here are a few of the movies that have some of the great villians that we talked about today.

Dr. Christian Szell from Marathon Man

Mr Blonde from Reservoir Dogs

Patrick Bateman from American Psycho

Don Logan from Sexy Beast

Thanks to the internet there is no shortage of lists that purport to give us "The Best of...". Take a look at this one regarding the best movie villians. There are some great choices. I particularily enjoyed Dennis Hopper as Frank Booth in David Lynch's Blue Velevt. He ranks very high on "creepy wierdo" scale.

Podcasts are ready!!!

Boy oh boy is this a good day. We have the new website up and running and I have a podcast section for my interviews on both The Morning Show on KFIZ and The Afternoon Show w/ Huffy on ESPN 1530/950. This will allow me to post some of the interviews that I conduct on a daily basis for those that do not get a chance to listen live. As I get familiar with everything look for more and more podcasts to show up.

Today I had a chance to chat w/ both Eli Manning's and Tom Brady's high school coaches. They are both archived on the site. Please go to the podcast icon and scroll down. Once there you will see links to The Morning Show and one for the ESPN 1530/950. Both interviews are linked on the ESPN podcast page while the Eli's coach is linked on The Morning Show page. I hope these give you an insight into these two fine Super Bowl quarterbacks.
