“If elected to Congress, Obama says he will continue working to solve the most important issues that affect the South Side of Chicago, including education, health care, juvenile justice, gun control and urban development.”

Tom Gresham has invited me
to be a guest on his radio program, Gun Talk, this Sunday during the
2:00 pm hour (EST). Tom, of course, is a nationally recognized figure, quite
famous in the gun community. You can read
his bio here
.

I was on his show a few years back
and had a great time—the guy is a gentleman and the kind of host who makes it
easy to converse. What will we talk about on Sunday? Per Tom:

This’ll be fun. Lots to talk about.
Election, Cooper,
the media, gun owners who get it and those who remain clueless about the
election and the continued efforts to strip them of their rights…We’ll take
calls and make it something between a Round Robin and a free-for-all!

You
can find radio stations throughout
the Republic here
. If there’s nothing local, you can also listen over the Internet via Live
Feed.

JR’s Halloween Wine Recommendation

by jr October 31, 2008 A Keyboard and a .45

Here is a wine that not only has a label to fit the Halloween motif, it is good enough to stock up on now to save for future occasions.

The wine I am talking about is Bogle VineyardsPhantom“.

Bogle Vineyards - Phantom

I have a penchant for purchasing wines produced from old vine grapes. It seems to me the deeper the roots, the more trace elements are delivered to the grape. Phantom is a blend of Petite Sirah, Old Vine Zinfandel and Old Vine Mourvedre.

This is an excellent red wine to enjoy with friends. It is a bold wine that stands alone without foods, or can be enjoyed with foods that you might normally pair with a Zinfandel or Meritage.

This wine will cellar well and will only improve with age over the next few years. At $20 a bottle, it is an excellent value, one of my seasonal favorites.
