Great job on the May Metro! It's only April 26, and I couldn't believe it was on my cyber-porch already. (Not that my carrier ever throws it in the bushes.) What gives! Great job. Does this mean we have earlier deadlines?
ED NOTE: As Jerry always says... Deadlines, Shmedlines. I put the Metro to bed early last month and it had to get up in the middle of the night to go pee, and it couldn't get back to sleep.

 Dear Editor: The Metro has never been better! Man, now the Podcast is even taken hold. One of these days I may even break down and join Facebook. Or find out how to hook up my computer camera. -Mac in GR
ED NOTE: Or even point your camera to show your face.

 Dear Editor: Please help, I am a Detroit Tigers fan who is being driven crazy by Rod & Mario, the two guys who broadcast the games. What can I do? (Besides playing the banjo, which causes my wife to side with Rod.) I watched a few innings of a Tigers game vs. Boston in mid-May, and heard Rod say: Boston's relief pitcher is a "left-handed lefty." Brandon Inge "used all of his hands" to get a hit. And Boston relied on its relief "corps" (yes, he pronounced it the way it's spelled). Oh yeah, and there was another "His contact-to-damage ratio is off the charts." Can you help? -Used to Have a Full Head of Hair in GR
ED NOTE: Listen Hairy Carey... 

 Dear Editor: I know first, there was Jean and Joan making records and playing in local beer gardens. Mike came next with the infamous "Mac & The Lost Cause". You and Jerry headed up the Brad Savage & The Cockroaches, along with stints in the band by Mike, Larry and Danny. Finally, I also recall Sanxuary's big hit call Speechless. Please tell me... Are there any more McCarty's that have played in a band and recorded music? -Joe
ED NOTE: Funny you should ask because I was just going through an old photo album and recalled one of the best accordion bands in the tri-county area was call Schmel-Cartys. The Schmelzers that were left out of bands joined the McCartys left out. Along with other friends were Uncle Jack, Aunt Margaret, Rick & Dennis McCarty. GOOD TIMES! 

Dear Editor: What do you have to do to get on the Podcast? I'm more famous than the people you interview. -Harry Seward
ED NOTE: Just to check, I Googled your name, and yes, I did find out that you are much more famous than Bald Seward who was going to appear next week.

This month's Speak Out is from Chuck

Like most folks in this country, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes & the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, in my case, I am required to pass a random urine test (with which I have no problem). What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. So, here is my question: Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them? Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their BUTT----doing drugs while I work. Can you imagine how much money each state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check? I guess we could call the program "URINE OR YOU'RE OUT"! 

P.S. Just a thought, all politicians should have to pass a urine test too!
