Right Down the Line

It's the duty of the President of the United States to protect the Secret Service, right? That's what Stephen was wondering about as he told us about what some are calling the worst scandal in Secret Service History. Those photos of assassinated presidents behind Stephen hint to us that maybe Lincoln being shot might have been worse. Wait a minute. It's supposed to be the other way around. The Secret Service protects the President. Time will tell as the investigation continues.

But all kidding aside, it is a serious job to protect the president as well as presidential candidates such as Mitt Romney. There are about 6,500 Secret Service Employees. Originally it was combating counterfeit money that was the mission of the Secret Service. Find out more about what the Secret Service does over at their website.

Stephen talked more about the war on women. (Just keep reading posts here until you have read down through April 10 if you want more information.) I will mention here that if you are a fan of chickens, skip this segment of the show if you watch it later. Stephen had harsh words for a chicken.

Women are special. That's the word from Ann Romney. She knows this because she is a woman. Women are the big prize this year in the election. (I think many of them would be happy to therefore get a prize, but they just have to be content will all the new laws aimed at women.) How can we stop this war on women? One way, and we should have seen this coming, is to turn it around and have a war on husbands. Here's what Michele Bachmann had to say: "One thing I know when women are home full time they probably have a better pulse on the economy than even their husbands." I suppose that's because women at home are spending considerable time reading up on the tax code, trade policies with different countries around the world, mortgage rates as it relates to foreclosures in different regions of the country, job trends for college graduates, and inflation and its effect on investments. Husbands don't know about this, do they?

Bonnie Raitt was the guest tonight. No, sorry, Stephen did not sing along with her when she sang "Right Down the Line" from her latest and 19th album, "Slipstream." You can read more about her over at Wikipedia, and get a bit of an idea about her many accomplishments and awards over at IMDb.

It was obvious that Stephen was a fan of hers. She obviously was a fan of his as this is what she said at the beginning of the interview:

"You make our life worthwhile, Stephen."
