Egypt. This sums it up for Ham. There will be discussion of it.
Hi Don!
The GOP fails on the Senate side to repeal the Affordable Care Act. A Reagan Solicitor General feels that the mandate IS constitutional...hmmmmmmm. So, apparently, did the framers of the constitution..or at least they were for a tax on folks in order to pay for medical care..
GOP trying to unfund abortions in the country through a new un-needed law that will RAISE TAXES on businesses who offer insurance that happens to cover abortion. According to the Guttmacher Institute Analysis of CMS Data in 2006, the Federal Government paid for a total of......191 abortions. That works out to about .2 cents per tax payer. Do we REALLY need to worry about this? Here is a link to the study, in that link there is a link to a pdf of the report showing the figure stated.
Iowa is considering overturning its same sex marriage law. Here is an amazing speech by a son of 2 moms in Iowa. Try not to cry while watching, ... we dare you.
Ham teaches Legs a bit about theater rules.
As always thank you for listening.
Talk at you later! ... Oh, Matt, if you look a little lower on the screen, you'll see the player...click the play button and you'll be able to hear the show. Hope this helps.
Below....this is for you, Matt. It's a transcript. Enjoy.

...
LEGS: Welcome to The Ham and Legs Show. Not sitting across from me is Jody Hamilton..
HAM: Hello.
LEGS: And I am Sean Barton. At least for today.
HAM: Are you thinking about changing your name?
LEGS: To Mud. No, I'm falling apart. I got an ankle..
HAM: I know I saw you posted that you got injured, you twisted it or something. How did you hurt yourself again?
LEGS: I..I have a swelling of the ankle due to playing a sport that I should have quit years ago.
HAM: You look like your still in shape.
LEGS: Thank you for saying so, but I'm still in mannequin form..
HAM: Huh?
LEGS: Mannequins look good in clothes they really have no shape. I'm a walking, talking hanger. Anyway, I'm old..
HAM: And soon to be older.
LEGS: Yes. And for those wondering, I am a size 42-regular, I wear a large shirt and I have a 32 waist. Oh, I also like music..
HAM: Are gonna list everything on your birthday list?
LEGS: No. Not everything.
HAM: So, you wanna talk about what's been going on, or are we gonna decide here and now whether or not we should all chip in and get you another sweater?
LEGS: Oooh, a nice hand knit one from Ireland would be lovely.
HAM: Moving on..
LEGS: What about you?
HAM: What about me?
LEGS: You've had some kind of nasal attack this week.
HAM: Yeah, I'm still not 100% but I'm getting there.
LEGS: I was hoping for some kind of sexy voice...
HAM: You mean like (insert nasally elderly woman here)
LEGS: No. No...someone like...oh, who was that actress...
HAM: You mean, Kathleen Turner?
LEGS: Hang on, I'm trying to get Kathleen's voice in my head...See More6 hours ago · ·

HamnLegs ShowHAM: As you try to dial that in...did you see where a band of Christians surrounded, protecting a group of Muslim's as they were praying?
LEGS: No.
HAM: I got a little teary-eyed. People were putting themselves at risk, in harms way so that... others may practice their religion. I hope that people who were watching it, or reading about it really took it to heart. Especially those here in the U.S.
LEGS: Especially those in the U.S., what?
HAM: Weren't you listening to me?
LEGS: No, I'm still trying to get Turner's voice in my head.
HAM: She sounds like me, or should I say, I sound like her.
LEGS: Oh. Okay.
HAM: You got it?
LEGS: Yep. Loud and clear.
HAM: Okay, for those of you who don't know..
LEGS: Why are you staring at me?
HAM: Do you know what's going on?
LEGS: No. Nobody tells me anything.
HAM: Do you know why?
LEGS: 'Cause...I can't keep a secret?
HAM: Egypt. Or more..
LEGS: It's Egypt's fault. No wonder they're rioting. I didn't know my fan-base stretched to the Middle East.
HAM: Your fan-base?
LEGS: More like yours. I'm just ridin' your coat tails. Either way they got my back. Word up.
HAM: How many shows have we done?
LEGS: If this were a real show, 98. Is this my last? Is Ricky in the green-room waiting for his cue. Is Ricky my Leno?
HAM: No. But he is on speed-dial.
LEGS: Good to know.
HAM: So, there was rioting..
LEGS: Yes. And Mubarlik..
HAM: President Hosni Mubarak.
LEGS: Him. Who everyone wants out, says he isn't running for reelection. He said something about, "..without me Egypt will be in chaos.." Which I think someone should open a window for him just so he can take a look-see, because chaos unpacked it's bags a week ago and has already asked for new towels for the guest bedroom.
HAM: Wow. That was a long joke.
LEGS: Yeah, it did seem rather long didn't it. The mind was wanting to stop but the mouth kept going.See More5 hours ago · · 1 personLoading...- HamnLegs ShowHAM: Anyhosers..protesters in Cairo are demanding President Hosni Mubarak's out. They packed Cairo's central square by the tens of thousands today, which is Friday for those listening, they were waving Egyptian flags, singing the national a...nthem and cheering, appearing undaunted and determined after their camp withstood two days of street battles with regime supporters trying to dissuade them. There was even a report where some armored vehicle went crashing through the protesters.
LEGS: Well the ad does say, if we don't deliver it you in 30 minutes, the pizzas are free.
HAM: Somehow I don't think this was a Domino's deliver truck.
LEGS: You never know. They have different things for franchises in other countries. McDonald's serves mayonnaise with their fries. Domino's may deliver in armored trucks. I understand there are some rough neighborhoods over there, or maybe they can fit more pizzas in the truck. Maybe they have an oven in the truck so that they are actually cooking it on the way as it's being delivered to you. Cool.
HAM: What's in your water?See More5 hours ago · · 1 personLaurie Hock likes this. - HamnLegs Show (advertisement)

Tags: GOP Egypt Revolution Health care Abortion Hyde Amendment
LOVED the reading of Legs transcript. You guys laughing so hard made me laugh.
There has been quite a bit of information on the protesters, dictator, and the news people being harmed in Egypt but I haven't seen any info about who they want to have replace him.
Iowa changing the same sex law...there's always some politician trying to bring us back to the 50's.
Scanner or pat down...they both seem very invasive and I'm not sure which I would prefer to have done to me.
Rape is rape no matter what you want to call it. Penalizing the people who's health care cover it is ridiculous. There are so many more places where we could save large amounts of monies.
Some things will remain secrets...your regular jobs, how/why Legs has his nickname from Hams Mom, etc.
Honey/Lonnie/Announcer/Illustrator ...I'm guessing is Hams hubby.
YES, you did talk about the speed rail last week.
Carol Burnett doing another book is a GREAT idea.
Thanks for the FUN, LAUGHS and information...another AWESOME show.
Really you'll get $ from us clicking on the google ads....I'll check it out! How many clicks will it take to see where it takes me....

Glad you liked our show, Laurie. Yes, we *can* get paid from Google clicks. But, please only if there is something you are interested in. I check our Adsense all the time, it takes A TON of clicks or page impressions for us to just get $20, so far, we ain't even close. We do love our audience though!

Ham and Legs, another great show, by two of my favorite people. Enjoyed the reading of the transcript. (Jody, I just love your laugh)
Yes to your mom writing another book. Maybe she can write a book called The Adventures of Ham and Legs. (Just a thought)But, I will buy any book she writes, and oh, for your 100th show, get your mom on! I think it's fitting to have Ms. Carol on your 100th podcast.
Much love to you all!

Great show again. The GOP trying to raise taxes on business through healthcare... REALLY? Isn't that going to make business have to cut jobs if they have to pay more to the GOVT? I think the GOP is trying to get unemployment in the double digits because they don't realize that double digits isn't cool in this instance.
Thanks for revealing your super secret day jobs. I love that Legs works in short pants and watches the Golden Girls and gets paid for it. All these years I've been watching the Golden Girls for free. I guess that since you revealed your job, I have to reveal mine. I'm the Audience Services Manager and Website Designer for the Horowitz Visual and Performing Arts Center at Howard Community College... A mouth full, right? My job is to make sure that everyone is happy and that our website is pretty.
Anyway, Ham, you should totally talk your mom into writing children's book. Play the best friend angle and bring up how Julie Andrews does it too and successfully, I might add. If you need help convincing her, let me know. I mean, I can't call her or anything, but you can still let me know.

Hi Julie,
The GOP doesn't want to raise taxes, the ploy is to get private insurance companies and businesses to drop abortion coverage from their plans. The RNC had a plan that covered abortion, and they changed it so that it would no longer offer that coverage when it was pointed out to them. That is what is disturbing to me. They may eventually try to make contraception coverage unavailable too. Anyway, I'll let you know what Mom says about the childrens book idea.

Hi Ham,
I can't wait to hear your thoughts about the Super Bowl and the Match.com survey that's been making the news.
