MARK - My kick ass today goes to my mother-in-law’s answering machine.  Thankfully she never erased the tape where a woman had obviously dialed the wrong number.  Not once, but several times.  She was calling about a classified ad for a job and was getting upset that no one was answering.  Over a period of three days her rants became more “passionate.”  I was able to “beep-out” the swear words and share the actual audio today on the morning show

Mark: I saw this cool show on the Discovery Channel the other day that talked about the events that led to the United States becoming the powerhouse country it is today.  Basically it all boiled down to the late 1800s when our country embraced science.  It allowed us to develop the technology that put us miles ahead of other nations.  And I’m not just talking about “Guitar Hero.”   They pointed to other countries, especially in the Middle East, that have lagged behind.  Much of it because their leaders have rejected science,  saying it is an afront to God, and because many believe if it is not specifically endorsed by ancient religious scripture it is neither true or relavant.

There is a group here in the US that uses the mind-boggling technology of the internet to deny modern science - they basically use the internet to say the “internet is only a theory!”  We are an amazing species!

CHUCK-Had dinner last night at a great little mexican restaurant in Wondervu Colorado. Go north out of Denver on 93 and get on 72 right before Rocky Flats. Head west up Coal Creek Canyon past Gross Reservoir a couple of miles and prepare yourself for the coolest little hamlet in the state. As you drive up 72, keep your eyes open for a really quirky yet tasty German restaurant called Westfalen Hof. I have no idea why a remarkable German restauran like this is located in the middle of nowhere but thank goodness it is. Check out their menu here:

LYNNE -I think Twitter.com kicks ass.. I like how you can just pop in and check what your friends are doing!

MARK - Senator Larry Craig kicks ass.. he gave a speech last week using hilarious wording for a guy with his past “discrepancies”

.

 Bret Michaels gets a third chance to bang more strippers on national television

 Bret Michaels and Amber Lake, the “winner” of Rock of Love 2 have broken up. I guess every rose does have it’s thorn.

 Has anyone ever seen the show? Here’s the formula to pretty much every episode.:

-Bret packs a mansion with strippers, single moms and former Playboy Playmates. At least one of these women will look like she’s straight out of a Whitesnake video and/or used to be named Bill.
-The gaggle of whores compete in Road Rules-esque challenges that are so asinine Bret doesn’t even pretend to watch them while the show’s filming and, instead, rides his motorcycle around in circles.
-Bret goes on a private date. Gets laid in a limo, haystack, or Ed Hardy dressing room.
-Bret eliminates a lady (Typically the one he just nailed.) while shedding a well-timed tear or two when really he can’t wait to stop filming so he can bang a hotel room full of groupies from the last county fair he just played.

I guess what I’m trying to say is: Jesus walks among us, my friends. And he wears a wig.

Mark - It really kicks all forms of ass when a church tries to attract more people to its annual youth conference by sponsoring a gun giveaway.  The Windsor Hills Baptist Church in Oklahoma City was going to raffle off a brand-new AR-15 semi-automatic assault rifle.  This year’s conference was canceled after the youth pastor suffered an unrelated foot injury.  The rifle will be given away at next year’s event.

CHUCK - -Rockies pitcher Aaron Cook’s performance last night in the All-Star Game was absolutely remarkable. Too bad it happened close to midnight ET so few people saw it. Here’s the deets

MARK - President Bush gets chosen to be a kick ass subject two days in a row!  You gotta love it when the President of the United States is asked about the economy and responds with, “I’m no economist.”   When even the President doesn’t know about the economic shape of his own country you either have to shake your head or say, “that kicks ass!” 

CHUCK-George Bush kicks ass today because, even though he is a lame duck president and has some of the lowest approval ratings ever in the history of the Presidency, he still shows up for work every day and tries to make a difference. Agree or disagree with his politics but that fact that he still thinks he has any pull kicks ass

LYNNE-I think it kicks ass that today I get paid.. money, cashish, the stuff I need to live.. but the cool thing about it is.. I get paid to do something I love, with people I actually really like..That is rare and I consider myself lucky.

MARK-Josh Hamilton Kicks ass - this is why - http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/25687692/

CHUCK - My Kick ass is that I have a secret - and I can’t ell anyone.. well ……I’ll say that someone I know is going to have a baby.. and he and his wife are really excited.. but I can’t say who it is.. I know it’s stupid that this is my kick ass.. and yes.. Lynne is writing this!

LYNNE - My kick ass is the Denver Local music scene - I had a flippen great time at the Carolyns Mother show this weekend and I am really excited to get out there and check out all the amazing bands this town has to offer!

MARK -My kick ass today goes to either the Discovery Channel for their amazing documentary on the history of our planet Earth (it is 4.5 billion or 6 thousand years old, depending on who you talk to) or – Miss USA falling down for the second year in a row at the Miss Universe Pageant.  But, then I guess you would call it “hit ass” instead of kick ass.

CHUCK - TIMBER SPORTS RULE!!! http://www.9news.com/rss/article.aspx?storyid=95464

I was recently at a family picnic where I learned it was the 104th year the event was held.  I was under the impression it might have been, like, maybe 25 years or so - but no - this particular family picnic has been taking place for decades.  It is my wife’s side of the family and they are all Italian.  Its an amazing cross-section of the old and new, the traditional and the “Oh my God, can you believe how she is dressed!”  

It was at this event I learned about St. Anthony of Padua.  He is the patron saint of “lost things.”  That’s right people, there is a patron saint of lost things.  If you lose your wallet, car keys, or credit cards, you can pray to St. Anthony of Padua for assistance.  I also learned that if you want to sell your house you should bury a statue of St. Joseph in your backyard.  So I guess if you can’t remember where you buried St. Joseph you can ask St. Anthony for help.
