And of course, much much more.

It’s amazing … every week, a new episode of The Rant magically appears.
This week, our guest was Alexandra Reid, the Sanford woman who proposed a chicken ordinance this year to the City of Sanford and was defeated. She talks about the process, open government and her future plans.


Please forgive the minute of “Complicated” that begins this Podcast.

Also this week:
• Life without Gordon (off sick)
• Jon has a new puppy … and he finally pays for all the time he made fun of Billy’s dog ownership status
• Gun sales talk
• Much much more

Enjoy. I know you will.

In case you were curious … yes, the election was the big topic of today’s episode of The Rant.
We talk Obama and the local elections and even found time to add a few new features: Gordo’s Corner and Jon’s Rant.
Also today, Billy and Gordon announce their write-in campaigns for the 2009 mayoral race in Sanford and Billy signs an agreement to never grade the performance of The Rant on the air.
Hoo-rah.
