Kirby Wilbur Summary for 11/27/06

With special guest host John Carlson:

Time: 00:00 - 00:15
Topic: Snow Day
Summary: With Kirby on vacation and Carlson evidently sleeping through his alarm, we're left listening to news chick Carleen Johnson read the list of schools closed to due a freak November snowstorm.

Time: 00:15 - 00:30
Topic: Snow Stories
Summary: Carleen opens up the phone lines for callers to blame mean old gubment for the snow storm. Evidently the fact that Seattle DOT was sanding streets in Seattle but not in Bellevue is a bad thing.

Time: 00:30 - 00:45
Topic: Official Snow Story
Guest: Doug McDonald, WA Transportation Secretary
Summary: The state's secretary of transportation gives the official view of the winter weather catastrophe.

Time: 00:45 - 01:00
Topic: Snow Stories
Summary: Back to the phones for caller's snow-based horror stories, with a sprinkling of school closures. It's really pretty funny how these rugged individualist conservatives look to the often despised government to immediately clear every road across Western Washington when we get a snow storm once every other year. zzzzz....

Time: 01:00 - 04:00
Topic: Snow Stories (with prizes!)
Summary: John Carlson comes in and opens up the phones for more caller stories, and offers to give exciting prizes to those with the best. The proud winners will receive: "set aside" (don't dare call them "left-over"!) tickets to the KVI holiday party, surely featuring an open bar of non-alcoholic punch and delicious soft drinks. While hilarity ensues when Carlson can't find the school closure information on his own website, things soon settle into a predictably boring set of tales told by some of the worlds worst story tellers. 3 hours of zzzzzzz.....
