Hello Again

Well now, I have been trying to do a post here for several weeks. Just goes to show you what a sick wife and 80 hr weeks do to your time contraints. A warm welcome to the friends of the Howie Carr show. In addition to a periodic link on my FB page and on the Sound Off Ct site, this blog will now been seen on Howie's page. I just hope Junior and Steve understand.

I am a fan of both Jim's and Howies shows for similar reasons. While I live and work here in the Springfield Ma. area, I also have a part time job in Enfield Ct.. Both of these shows are very similar in theme and I think that we who are fans of both shows can help link them together even if it informally.For those of you who are fans of Jim, try Howie's show. It is broadcast out of Boston with a local station in Springfield, 560, WHYN from 3-7 pm. Howie does Mass politics and the national scene with an accent on Boston.. For you Howie fans, Jim Vicevich and his Sound Off Ct show runs from 9am to noon on WTIC 1080 out of Hartford. Jim does Ct politics and the national scene as well. Both hosts tend to be libertarian/conservative and that pretty much fits me as well.

Since the folks from SOC know me pretty well. I am going to introduce myself to Howie's friends. My name is John Kokolski. Born and raised in R.I., I graduated from Woonsocket schools and hold a B.A. from Rhode Island College. I have always been interested in politics and was involved from a young age. I held a sign for George McGovern. Graduating from college in the Carter years and doing a stint in the military proved to me conclusively that liberal ideas do not work. After several years of traveling the stock car circuit, I relocated here to Springfield wher I married my wife Janet. Our full house consists of two poodles, and african grey and a host of smaller birds. I make my living as a pizza delivery person for Domino's Pizza. As to what a pizza guy is doing writing a blog, I am just going to ask you to stay tuned and find out.

Till next time John
