I just had a chance to listen to the show you did regarding adoptee rights. You are so right on……..Did you know that the bill in CT was passed several years ago but that Gov Rell wouldn’t sign it? We hear that it was about protecting the rights of the mothers but who knows if that is really the case. Also, adoption records were open in CT until 1974 when during that legislature, the closing of the records was a rider to a bill that was done last minute and had no public hearing regarding it.
I totally agree with you that this is a civil rights issue. Adoptees in the US are the only citizens who are not allowed to know their birth origin.
I appreciate your talking about this and if you decide to bring it up again, I hope that I would be available to chat with you about it.

Take care and take a good deep breath of that Westchester County air for me…….as you know, it is my home and sometimes I still miss it!!

I loved your program on "false praising"! It all stems from the delusion of wanting to spare kids from feelings of guilt and/or shame, and instead always seek to build their "self-esteem." What a crock of caca!

My psychologist wife witnessed the epitome of this trend while observing an elementary school class one day. The teacher asked a question, one of the children raised his hand and answered, and her response was: "That's a right answer, Johnny, but not for this question."

Good Gawd! Just tell the kid he's wrong! You're not doing him any favors otherwise.

I was very glad that you invited Kathleen Jones onto your show to talk about Mormonism, because the public at large has little understanding of the doctrines that underlie that cult's slick, "Osmondized" appearance.

Oh, yes, Romney claims that he does not believe in polygamy, but that is a half-truth.

If Mitt's wife were to die, he could marry again and have both wives in the afterlife "for time and all eternity." If he were to die, however, Ann could marry again, but only until "death do them part" --because she "belongs" to Mitt.

Funny how nobody ever asks about this, and instead interviewers simply swallow the half-truth that Mormons no longer "believe" in polygamy. It is an essential part their doctrine about the afterlife --and you bet Mitt believes it.

Lisa, you opened your heart today on the air and it resonated deeply with me. My husband and I will have been together 20 years this summer; married for nearly five but we dated since I was 16. Your story today hit close to home—not because we’ve been faced with addiction (fortunately we have not) but because we have had our struggles and during those hard times, we always had a choice… and our choice was to honor our promise to one another and here we are today—stronger than ever but we work at it. You and your husband are lucky to have each other .My best wishes for a lifetime of love, happiness, respect and truth.

LIsa, was only able to catch a few minutes of live show from New Hampshire yesterday, but it was the interview with Buddy Roemer. I agreed with almost every statement that came out of his mouth! Who is this man, and why haven't we heard about him before? Nice interview.

Nice job on the breast feeding issue, I couldn't agree more. Nothing nasty about it, actually a beautiful bonding moment between mother and child. One that our generation lost out on. I don't know many people our age who were breast fed, and look at the mess we are in. I used to watch my wife nurse our second child and be a little envious. (and not from the typical male perspective if you know what I mean) This country needs to get over their breast obsession. Its natural and very beneficial.

Let me tell you what is really nasty, watching a nascar driver chew tobacco and spit. Or a major league ball player spitting and then grabbing his crotch.

Today was a powerful show and I respect your guest so much for talking on the radio about something Soo personal. I hope her talking about it will help women or people out there in some way. Great show!

Please let Lauren Dushin, your guest today, know how brave I think she is. I can only imagine how difficult it is for her to re-open the wound and talk about her experience. I know from my own experience how difficult it is for me to open and then try to close the wound. She is a hero for me, someone who will inspire the better part of me to grow and go forth into the world. I don't know if I could do what she did today! She gave me hope! Hope for sunshine after it all.

GOOD TO HEAR YOUR VOICE AGAIN FRACKING HAS BEEN A SUBJECT OF DISPUTE SINCE JAN. 2011. I HAVE BEEN SIGNING PETITIONS TO THE CONGRESS SINCE THEN. GO ON THE WEB AND SEE ALL THE OPPONENTS AND SIGN ON. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS OCCUPY WALL STREET GROUP DEMAND THAT THE S.E.C. GET SOME POWER LIKE THE JUSTICE DEPT. AND GO AFTER THE CEOS AND MIDDLE EXEC AND OUR CONGRESSMEN WHO WALKED AWAY AND CONTINUE TO WALK AWAY WITH MILLIONS BROUGHT TO JUSTICE. I ALSO WANT THE WALL ST. PEOPLE DEMAND THAT NO CONGRESS PERSON EVER, EVER, EVER, NEVER BE ALLOWED TO BE A LOBBIEST WHEN HE LEAVES CONGRESS. I BELIEVE ITS JUST A PERIOD OF I YR. NOW- WHAT A JOKE!!!!

The powers that be who have brought us to this sad condition, do not have my consent. I have very different values than they! It's upsetting but no surprise that sports figures often have severe character flaws. As role models go, we aren't getting our money's worth. These characters are selected by athletic ability only, because in a simplistic view of things, winning is everything. But in reality, we have lost our way. And these misplaced resources are lost, diverted from more noble causes.
Thank you so much for placing a bright spotlight on this troubling issue.
 
 
#280 From Andrew Cassidy 2011-11-23 23:09
You are so right, regarding the misplaced hero worship connected to school sports.

It's a major disgrace that Calhoun earns the most of any state employee. I can recall an interview where he lashed out at a journalist who challenged him on this a few years ago.

Calhoun's agressive response was very telling. It's no wonder there has been so little criticism; most of the press helps themselves to free lunches courtesy of UCONN. It's no wonder the press acts more like docile pets; they're being fed like ones!

I can tell you the $92 Million that was spent for the stadium at Rentschler Field was a huge mistake, given the poor condition of our schools and infrastructure.

Inflated figures of the returns from school sports do not change this fact. It also is irrelevant. Government is meant to govern, not throw vast fortunes at athletic entertainment figures.

I finally got to read your final blog entry today since I was one of the CT “power refugees” last week…….
I just wanted to tell you how much I have enjoyed listening to you whenever I could. I didn’t always agree, sometimes cheered “right on!” and sometimes was just left to have some time to think over what your guests had said. I learned about things about which I had no idea, got to meet Bill and the Modells, and just always appreciated any time spent with you. You often challenged me to think better about what I do and why I do it.
I know that your life is always busy and you are always on the move. I am not worried for you at all as I know you will find the next opportunity, no matter what it is, and have a good time with it. That is just who you are.

Thank you for what you taught me, for caring about the kids in this state, and just for being who you are.

Love your show. was sorry to hear you will not be on radio next week. will check it out the web. and will look/listen for your lovely voice. Although I did not agree with some of your comments, I respected them and saw a different point of view. I love the relationship you share with your family. Best of luck and best wishes. Hoping to hear you on the radio soon.

Hi Lisa,

I am listening to all the wonderful things people are saying about you and it's all so true. I have been listening to you since you showed up in the 4pm slot and I wish I would have followed your saturday show! I don't always agree with you but mostly I do. I think your show is THE BEST on radio. I look foward all day to 4pm! I hope and pray you will show up on another station. Someone should snap you up and put you on coast to coast. I'll listen on the net, and I am going to open a Twitter account so I can follow you.

Your fan,
Vickie Colbert

: Lisa,

I listen to your show every afternoon on WNLK. You have the best local talk show in southwestern Connecticut. I am going to miss listening to you after tomorrow.

I am the morning meteorologist for WSTC/WNLK and News 12 Connecticut and have worked with many morning hosts over the last 12 years. You deserve a spot on a New York radio station.

I will try and listen to you on your Web site. Your show is informative, entertaining, and enjoyable. Keep up te great work.

Sincerely,
Paul Piorek
News12

I was glad to be able to read your thoughts since I'm never available to listen to your show while it's being broadcast. And I was so glad to read that I'm not the only one who was bothered by that commercial! I felt exactly the way you did, right down to being the goody-goody and not having thought to relate it to Wall Street greed (although that is SO true.) The one difference, I'm happy to report, is that like me my kids would have also taken just one. At least I rubbed off on them for this honesty quality. :)

OK, not back to doing my work...

From ecam from Hartford
: I hope you are covering this most important story for Connecticut. We are about to spend about $300mm in order to secure 300 jobs over 10 years. The Governor is betting the farm on this one.

We simply cannot afford this
