I had hoped to keep this week’s Thanksgiving BradCast on KPFK/Pacifica Radio kinda light, cuz, ya know, it’s Thanksgiving. St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch didn’t make that easy.
Nonetheless, we ended up with a very lively show, covering one helluva election fraud mystery in Maine; some good election news in Oregon; and exclusive information on why Ferguson and St. Louis County ran out of paper ballots on Election Day.
Then, speaking of bad news, it’s Thanksgiving week and, yes, the news is lousy, so what is there to be thankful for in the wake of this week’s terrible news in Ferguson and all the bad news of late before it? Some great callers come to the rescue!
My thanks to all of you this Thanksgiving which, as a few callers reminded me, isn’t nearly as terrible as it seemed before this week’s show…

…and Thanks shall indeed be given this day, for the good we enjoy and the better we are hopefully striving toward….this is my fave holiday, the one which pretty much seems to defy commercialization….no gimmick to gratitude and hope….so eat, drink, and merrily we roll along and roll along we will….
It’s finally over!
