631...Funny News From NewUS Ambassador2Can

The man's name is David Jacobson and he is from Chicago, Illinois and he raised a pile of money for President Obama and his prize is to be given the post as new Ambassador to Canada.

Which means he will live in Ottawa.

Here is the funny part: Yesterday he said, and I am quoting from CBC.ca "I'm from Chicago so the weather doesn't scare me." Dude, you are from Chicago, that is down south compared to Ottawa.

Welcome to the major leagues of cold, brother.

382...Scott Tribe, Vernor's, Good Taste

Scott Tribe makes the case for Vernor's ginger ale being the finest ginger ale in the world.

Scott Tribe is right.

Wikipedia states that "Vernors is the oldest surviving ginger ale sold in the United States...[dating back to] 1866."

It is primarily available in Detroit, Ohio, Michigan, Chicago, Southern Ontario and Florida but, for example, in Ottawa, Ontario, Farm Boy carries it.

The finest.

Thursday morning, 8 to be precise, moi, The World Famous Dan Shields, on 93.1CKCU.

It is exciting to be able to share my views on our community and expose you to things you may not be aware of.

Tomorrow a little chat with Steven Marriner from Monkey Junk, a band that is thrilled to be playing the 2009 Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest.

Mr. Marriner will be joining me via the phone from Oprah's hometown of Chicago at about 8 30 and I will have some of his music and may be, may be, some swag to give away.

Fingers firmly crossed.
