OKAY, THE WIFE IS OFFICIALLY GOING NUTS
Being out of the "biz" for a while is forcing my wife to hear my laments at the current status of the political/issues scene. I've always said that being on the air for that 3-hours is theraputic...and this past week has proven it. I'm almost to the point where I can't watch the news and read the paper for fear that my tongue will get me in trouble with the wife. In the past, she could aways say, "Save it for the radio," but not this time. I have to vent to her because she's the only one listening...patiently, I might add. She's a peach.
I mean, just look at what I've missed since then...and a sample of what I would be saying if I were on the air:
1. John Kerry and John Edwards. Boy, where to start. Ever get the feeling that this is an "arranged marriage" between the two? It's like those people in India who set up the weddings and marriages long before their children are old enough to understand what's going on. Don't forget, John Kerry is the one who said at one point early in the campaign, "People always make the MISTAKE of looking SOUTH...Al Gore proved you could be President without winning one southern state." If choosing a southerner as a running mate is all it takes to win the south, the south will NEVER rise again.
2. Ron Reagan Jr at the Democrat convention. So, they LIKE Reagan now? Are the Republicans going to counter-attack with Micheal Reagan at their convention? I'm sure the Democrats are continuing to rely on their constituents' ignorance here...guessing that most people will think that Ron Reagan Jr represents the entire Reagan family opinion. Are they really that dumb? Well, I suppose if that makes up a majority of reasons people still VOTE Democrat - because their daddy did or because they always do - I think it's a safe assumption that's what they're thinking.
3. Is it just me or have the daily run-downs of people dying in Iraq been less dramatic? I've noticed...but perhaps thats because I haven't been listening to the radio much since I lost my job. I'm almost beginning to understand why people outside of the news media go about their lives with a lack of interest in politics and issues until it really matters.
Whew...I feel better. Sure wish I had a microphone, though. It would have sounded a lot better than it reads...
Job update: No call-backs so far...the search continues. I really would like to hear from the station in Indianapolis...it sounds like an ideal position for me. Remember, it's not who you know in this business, it's how you sound.

So... It's got to be a vast left wing conspiracy! How could the pin heads at WSCC replace you with such idle chatter? I used to really enjoy your edgy and factually based commentary, now all we hear is "joke of the day." I can't believe a so called talk radio news channel is delivering the radio voice, juvenile, sexist drivel that's passing for an afternoon show. "I'm not from around here... what size trailer tires do you folks recommend... I speak German and own a radio consulting business. I love Harley riding and I'm a single guy looking for the hook up... I'm not at all political... Good God!!!
