Bob Ney:News and Notes

FRIDAY ON THE BOB NEY SHOW:

Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar D. Mitchell, the sixth man ever to walk on the moon, has a message for all citizens of Earth: We are not alone.

"We are being visited," the 79-year-old grandfatherly "spacefarer" told 100 or so UFOlogists gathered at a National Press Club conference called by the Paradigm Research Group (motto: "It's not about lights in the sky; it's about lies on the ground").

"It is now time to put away this embargo of truth about the alien presence," said the astronaut who made the longest moonwalk in history. "I call upon our government to open up ... and become a part of this planetary community that is now trying to take our proper role as a spacefaring civilization."

With a new, perhaps more intellectually curious president in the White House, UFOlogists say, the time is ripe for the United States to follow the lead of other nations and release all classified files about government interaction with extraterrestrial beings. In fact, PRG founder Stephen Bassett demands that the Obama administration dump the documents, and quick. 

Author Tim Miller will be my guest to talk about this.

I went to the correspondent's dinner last night and was spotted by Politico.

The Washington Examiner caught me having dinner.   

Wow, in the old days I avoided being spotted, today I would be depressed if I wasn"t :-)

The dinner was very good, I saw former staffers, current reporters, Members of Congress, Cabinet Members, former cabinet members.

Alberto Gonzales slithered out before I could invite him on my show.

The stars were about,  got a chance to have a good chat with Matthew Modine  (Full Metal Jacket).

 All in all, a great time, and I could not have asked for a better reception.  The President brought down the house.  He was humorous and well received --of course he was well received, it was the media in attendance !!!!

The highlight also, for me, was spending time with my friend, Ellen Ratner, Talk Radio News Service, who,  beyond being a fantastic human being and friend, can provide some great news if you click onto the talk radio news service website.  The picture at the top of this post was from last night's dinner and taken by TRNS' staffer Jay Tamboli. He has a lot more pictures from the event on the web site.

I had a good week with my show,  some great guests, and good conversation. As always, you can tune to wvly on the internet right here on this page.

And don't forget the Howard Monroe show, 7-10 am , Howard is a long time, seasoned talk host.
Take care, have a great day and a good week ahead.
