Just a quick reminder...

Billy is out once again at the PLR Fill the Bowl Food Drive. If you can stop by with either a frozen turkey, some non-perishable food items, or even a cash donation we really need you help today. Please stop by if you can!

Yasser Arafat will be buried later today.

This is such a sad story. This man survived World War II; but was accidentally killed while being recognized for Veterans Day... Elderly veteran killed in parade tragedy.

Loser of the Week:
Our top candidates this week were...

Tammy Imre - She's the woman in Stratford that had sexual relations with an 8-year-old boy and claimed him as "her boyfriend". This story is so bad that it's made headlines worldwide.
Henry - Henry called in to nominate the New Haven Police Department because an officer shot and killed a suspect with a knife. Henry described an officer defending himself as the "Trigger Happy New Haven Police".
Quite a battle this week. Both of today's candidates deserve to win; but when the speed round was over and the dust was settled, this week's Loser of the Week is Tammy Imre. Thanks for voting!
Joining us on the phone was Drew Logan, author of the book How to Lose Weight and Gain Money.
All of us would like to do either or both of these; and Drew said that the secret is what you're eating. You can save a ton of money if you buy natural foods like fruits, vegetables, meats, and more. Stay away from pre-made foods, frozen foods, and take out. Those foods have a much bigger markup; and you'll spend more to buy those convienient foods.
If you'd like to find out more check out the book.
