Bartlett's Blog!



As news anchor on WOR Radio 710 , I touch on many subjects during the day, so occasionally some of my work is unfinished .

I hope this webpage will fill in the blanks for my listeners. My interests are varied and this site will devote time to all of them including the news of the day, sports and even cooking.
 
I am committed to staying in touch with my listeners on my blog. Drop me an email here and I'll post some of my responses online.

America is growing angry
You may have noticed the tone since the election of Barack Obama as President.  There was always partisan bickering whether it was anti-Bush or anti-Clinton, but this rhetoric is beginning to worry people. 
Waiting For An Accident to Happen
The more people run away from New York Governor David Paterson the more I think we should embrace him.  He seems to be all alone in his call for massive spending cuts and government restraint.
Election Day
 As we head to the polls to vote this election day, I am reminded of the suggestion I made recently, that you vote against any incumbent.
POLITICAL NOTES
It’s time to say good-bye to State Senator Hiram Monserrate.  While he managed to escape conviction on the most serious charges involving the slashing of his girlfriend, there is no doubt he should not keep his job.

Political Re-Runs
If Elliot Spitzer can do it, why not Vito Fosella.  The former Staten Island Congressman reportedly is thinking about running for his old seat, and why not.
Beware Mike

By most accounts Mayor Michael Bloomberg is a lock for re-election, but let’s not write off the Democratic candidate Bill Thompson just yet. 


READY FOR SPITZER ROUND TWO
He may have been disgraced and run out of office as Governor of New York, but mark my words Eliot Spitzer will try and make a comeback
ALBANY DOES IT AGAIN
Faced with a more than $16 billion dollar budget the lawmakers were forced to make some difficult choices and unfortunately most of them were wrong. 
LET'S CATCH UP
I was away for a few days and we need to get caught up on some things that have occurred.
NUMBING NUMBERS
It strikes me that our government is very good at spending money but finds it nearly impossible to curtail spending.
I Highly Recommend You Find Time to Watch "Taking Chance" on HBO
HBO has just released a docudrama that will bring tears to your eyes and at the same time make you feel good about this country.
Paterson's Problem
I’d like to offer some political advice to Governor Paterson, whose popularity has plummeted. 
Now Stimulate Confidence
The federal government is ready to spend $789 billion dollars to get the economy going, but the turnaround will depend on something money can’t buy; confidence.
Someone tell Barack Obama he won the Presidency.
And PLEASE someone tell him to stop scaring us.
Ticked Off About TARP
Remember the TARP fund that was supposed to bailout banks?
Time To Come Clean
Looking over the news today you have to wonder where have all the honest people gone...
CALLING FOR HELP
 Bloomberg explains his "draconian" budget proposals, but he doesn't seem to be the only one
Obama's Good Moves
 You know I am not a big fan of the stimulus package, but I will give Obama credit for some good moves
I've Been Stimulated by the Stimulus
The government is about to spend $825 billion or more to stimulate the economy...
New York's New Senator
How do you like New York's new Senator Kirsten Gillibrand? I think she is going to do a great job...
The Swearing in of Hope
What a great moment for America on Tuesday with the swearing in of President Barack Obama...
U.S. Airways Flight 1549
What a way to start what everyone thinks will be a turbulent year, the safe emergency landing of a US Airways plane in the Hudson River.  Amid all the bad news about Wall Street, jobs, the Mideast conflict, and Presidential politics, this is a story of hope.
Israel taking it too far?
While most of the world was on the side of Israel when it attacked Hamas positions in Gaza in an effort to stop repeated rocket attacks on Israeli cities, but the tide may be changing.
Al Franken, Rod Blagojevich, Caroline Kennedy, and now, Leon Panetta?
You’ve got to be kidding me...

New Blog Stories on WOR
Marathon Miracle
In a previous blog, “A Runners Wife” I spoke about my husband training for the NYC marathon. All I have to say is that the months of training all came together of an amazing race. Race day is a grueling day for runners, and the family. But a miracle happened...
Pray for Us
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder testified before the senate judiciary committee and basically shrugged when asked if any other enemy combatant captured overseas had ever been brought to civilian criminal court to face justice. Talk about an incompetent boob, not to mention a disgrace.
Great food matched with lovely wines
Here is a list of wines all from Spain, and menus from restaurants in Brooklyn where a crew of us  did a food / wine crawl through Carrol Gardens and Williamsburg recently
