It's tradition on the show to start off Memorial Day and Veterans Day with this classic clip from the movie Patton. Enjoy.

Joining us in the studio this morning to hang out and have some fun was comedian RC Smith.

For more on RC Smith check out his website. Thanks RC!

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

• Hartford Veterans Day Parade Protestors - For protesting the Iraq war at a celebration for all of those who have served our country.
  
• The Republican Party - For losing so many Senate and Congressional seats this week.

  An interesting battle this week. When the speed round was over and the dust was settled, this week's Losers of the Week are the Hartford Veterans Day Parade Protestors. Thanks for voting!

  In the studio with us to celebrate veterans day was 1st Sgt. Saunders from the United State Marine Corps.
  1st Sgt. Saunders is a former Drill Instructor; so he put Scungilli, AJ, and Jesse through recruit paces. None of them held up too well. They probably wouldn't have survived real Marine Corps training.
  Since 1947, Marines have filled the dreams of millions of disadvantaged children during the holiday season by providing Christmas toys. A shiny new toy sends a message to a needy child that someone cares.
  You can help the Marines of New Haven this year by dropping off a new, unwrapped toy at a local drop off location. Just look for a Toys for Tots poster in the window.
  Call Staff Sergeant Christopher Waller, 30 Woodward Ave, New Haven, CT 06512 (203) 467-5322 for drop-off Locations. Thank you 1st Sgt. Saunders!

  Impossible Trivia:
  Who was the first Commandant of the US Marine Corps?

  This is a BIG get for us... On the phone with us this morning was skateboarding legend Tony Hawk!
  As far as skateboarding goes... Tony Hawk is the man. Today he's on to promote his two new video games Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam and Tony Hawk's Project 8. This guy has a whole skateboarding empire - and he's only 38. Amazing.
  For "all things Tony Hawk" - check out his website.

  Here's the voting roundup from ABC News.

  Today's show is FULL of the big names in the political races. Unfortunately the web log is going to be kind of small today in terms of goofy stories; but we'll be "back to normal" (whatever that means) tomorrow.

  Normally 'choking the poll' means something else; but in this case it's literal.. Poll Worker Charged With Choking Voter.

  In the close we spoke with Joe Lynch from the New Haven St. Patrick's Day Parade Committee.
  Joe wanted to give us a heads up about a great program called "Stuffed Animals for Kids and Cops". This program collects slightly used stuffed animals and provides them to area police departments. The stuffed animals are then given to children who have experienced a catastrophe and are in the grip of trauma. It's a great program; and any stuffed animals you have that are in good shape are welcome and needed.
  For more information you can call Joe Lynch at 203-215-4163 or Bernadette LaFrance at 203-457-0013. Thanks Joe!

  It may be 'the invention of the year'; but it's about to get lame because of copyright laws... YouTube is Time Magazine's invention of year.

  Bringing laziness to a whole new level... American Pot users relying on home delivery.

  Does this sound appetizing to you? Mike Ditka has his own line of wines. Because when you think wine... of course you think of Mike Ditka.
