The <a href="http://www.wbur.org/news/2017/02/06/patriots-super-bowl-victory-parade">Duck Boats</a> will soon be rolling! It’s a victory so exciting that we can’t remember when we have…er,…felt this good…before??? Ooohhhh yeah! Last November it was! Did you watch the game? Any Patriots haters out there?<br> Our second topic for today will be the Trump Administration travel ban that was in, then out, then in, then out again, against seven predominantly Muslim countries that seem to be sketchy places. Our focus will be the judiciary and the main point we debate is this: are the endless court challenges to everything that the Trump Administration introduces (which we can anticipate) merely hurting the left? Or will they be more than a nuisance? Can the left legitimately shut down the activity of the entire Trump Administration with a sufficiently energized swarm of judicial flies? We will discuss.<br> Finally, Donald Trump the gourmet…the foodie…the health food nut…the fast food junkie! What are the Trumpster’s favorite foods? (<a href="http://dailycaller.com/2017/02/06/trump-really-did-stop-eating-oreos-after-nabisco-moved-to-mexico/">Oreo cookies are now</a>, of course, out).<br> We will have, as always, our shower thoughts (is your cat trying to kill you…Todd is utterly unamused) and our hidden gem this week is from the Hayao Miyazaki film Tenkuu no Shiro, Rapuuta (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092067/">Laputa, Castle in the Sky</a>) by composer <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Hisaishi">Joe Hisaishi</a>, the title track Castle in the Sky.
