WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 30, 2005 1:25 AM (ET) Have you ever wondered what happens to the luggage airlines can't find. The bag full of your favorite things they just can't manage to reconnect with you? The airles sell them. Think I'm kidding? There's a business that buys lost luggage by the pound and resells the contents. And if you wonder how hard the airlines try to find the owners.. well how hard would it be to find Jesse Jackson-- his suits brought a nice price-- or MC Hammer? If they can't find them, you're a gonner. Shopping tips tonight at 10.

TUESDAY NOVEMBER 29, 2005 2:45 AM (ET) Have some fun this Christmas. Commit violent rape. Stage a few mass murders. It's all legal, you know. At least it is on video. But the question is, how much does it affect real behavior? Is the increase in school shootings in part due to desensitization? Do kids especially have trouble separating virtual reality from actuality? Why do you think porn is restricted to the under-21 crowd? Wouldn't the same logic apply to these violence normalization devices? Conflicts tonight at 10.

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 27, 2005 9:45 PM (ET) Email trivia questions are up for those of you who can't hear the show live. Click on "She Said What" to your left and good luck. Speaking of luck, tomorrow night we'll talk about the US/Mexican border. Luck is about all we have left. Here's a crash course in what not to do (that of course we've done).. How to demoralize a US border patrol agent? Supply his uniform complete with a 'Made In Mexico" label. How to compromise US sovereignty? Give the people we're trying to keep out, direct access to easily identifiable official US border patrol uniforms-- in every size imaginable. Customs officials say there's been no breach-- but how do they know that since you can't easily identify the bad guys when they're wearing the good guys clothing? Bordering on insanity tomorrow night at 10.

FRIDAY NOVEMB ER 25, 2005 5:30 AM (ET) If you're looking for the rsults of the World's Worst Hit Records this year, click on "Who Did That Record" to your left. It's a very interesting list-- some of the usual suspects, of course, but most notable are the perennial choices that didn't make it. We came amazingly close to "Yellow Submarine" qualifying-- and amazingly far from the likes of "Having My Baby". I've been asked which one of top ten (which is really top 13 due to ties) is MY least fave. Hands down, the one that I shudder to even recall is "You Light Up My Life". Had Celine Dion qualified (anything by her, really, though you've singled out "My Heart Goes On") or had Maureen McGovern's "The Morning After" been included, it would be a tie. MacArthur Park runs a close second, in my mind. The rest of them fall in various places on my 'tolerable' list-- but this was YOUR tally, not mine. I didn't cook the books, which I guess means I'll never qualify as CFO of, well... anything. Tonight? Three big hours of trivia. Talk to you at 10.

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 24, 2005 8:00 AM (ET) (yes EIGHT AM. I've been busy)-- HAPPY THANKSGIVING! You've compiled a list. I've checked it twice (more like a dozen times actually but there's no holiday poem for that)-- and the grand tally is now known to me. Starting at 10, it will be known to you. We'll count down the top 10, play a few "extras" and close out the show with the arrrival of the annual "Rollye James' I Hate The Holiday Club"-- if this is the season not to be jolly for you, you'll be among kindred spirits through January 2nd. Be strong. Together we can make it. In a mix of the 12 days of Christmas and a 12 step program, we'll take 12 steps out of anything that reeks of cheer. Of course if you absolutely love this time of year, there are numerous radio stations already playing full time Christmas music and a seemingly unlimited supply of instore displays that will warm your heart, and have the rest of us running. Take heart, fellow humbugs. You're not alone.

WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 23, 2005 10:00 PM (ET) So you think you know the story of Thanksgiving? You're about to hear the real deal. If you want to read it for yourself, click here. And get ready to vote!

WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 23, 2005 6:40 AM (ET) There are records that have sold millions of copies-- but not one to you. They're huge hits, but you can't figure out why. Well good news, for those of us who can't imagine how entire radio stations manage to succeed built around the likes of Celine Dion, and hold up Donny Osmond as an example of torture in need of banning-- Tonight's The Night, so to speak to get your final vote in on the annual poll of the World's Worst hit Records tonight at 10.

TUESDAY NOVEMBER 22, 2005 3:45 AM (ET) Does November 22nd remind you of a slain president in his prime-- or the first time we knew the government lies to us? We're still not in agreement on how it happened or why it happened, but is there anyone you know who believes the official explanation for the Kennedy Assassination? What do you think happened? And what else are you convinced the government is concealing? Conspiracies tonight at 10, and the next to the last day for voting on this year's World's Worst Hit Records.

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 20, 2005 PM (ET) The email questions are up. You qualify if yoi're unable to hear the show live. Click on "She Said What " to your left. Spent a fine weekend tabulating votes on The World's Worst Hit Records. There's still time to make your choices count. We'll take input through Wednesday's show and then on Thursday, Thanksgiving, the turkeys will be on radio as we count 'em down for you live. As for Monday.....

How to kill economic development. 1. Find a state with a lack luster economy and an eye on the environment. 2. Target one of its few success stories. Pick a company that pays well-- up to $25 an hour, employs hundreds of people in towns where jobs are scarce. 3. Make sure their commodity is a renewable resource, brought to market in an ecologically conscious way. Wait until everyone's prospering. Then, as easy as 1 2 3 tax them out of existence. It's not a worse case scenario. It's Maine and its about to happen. Details tomorrow night at 10.

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 18, 2005 4:20 AM (ET) We'll talk to Bill Wright, Sr. tonight at 10. He's being inducted into the Hall Of Fame of the Philadelphia Broadcast Pioneers (along with him will be the late great Georgie Woods, and four other area broadcasters) this evening and he'll join us afterwards. To Philadelphia teens in the '50s and '60s, he was the guy who got you up each morning. His tenure at WIBG both predated and post dated the payola hearings and I can bet he'll have a lot to say. Then at 11, we'll spend a couple of hours playing trivia. Looking forward to it.

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 17, 2005 3:45 AM (ET) Is it a berserk weather control, or simply mind control of Americans? Or worse? HAARP is one of the most controversial projects ever undertaken by the government and the most interesting part is that regardless of conjecture, nothing it purports to do is good news. Evil intent or science out of control? We'll talk to the author of HAARP the Ultimate Weapon of the Conspiracy tonight at 10. His name is Jerry E. Smith and if you'd like to buy his book, here's a link to the best deal. We've had a lot of requests for this topic, particularly in light of the interesting hurricane season and mild weather (up until this moment) on the East Coast (was in the 70s earlier today near Philadelphia). I'm sure Jerry will have a few things to say about that. If you want to check out his site, it's www.jerryesmith.com.

WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 16, 2005 3:45 AM (ET) The quickest way to balkanize a country is by removing a common language. History proves it repeatedly. Yet forces in America want to English to share center stage with Spanish for starters. Are they misguided fools, or enemies of the state intent on reducing the country's power and influence? There isn't much middle ground. The CEO of US English will speak to that-- in English tonight at 10.

TUESDAY NOVEMBER 15, 2005 4:35 AM (ET) Remember high school clubs-- the German Club, maybe Future Teachers of America-- a great way to make friends and get involved. New meaning to that aton California public school touting the Condom Club over loudspeakers in class and in print: "Having sex? Thinking about having sex? Come to the Condom Club at lunch in A205. One meeting will get you a sticker for 12 free condoms a week." A week? What are they growing up to be, Future Sex Workers of America? Who has time for school? We have time to discuss it tonight at 10.

MONDAY NOVEMBER 14, 2005 5:30 AM (ET) From all the data, charts and papers on exactly how much heavy metal in your system would be considered toxic, you'd think the government was trying to protect you. Mercury for example is a proven neuro-toxin. You've probably heard it was in everything from tuna to contact lens solutions. Due to horrendous problems, it's been removed from most of them, but it's still present and unlabeled in many vaccines. Considering a flu shot? You'd better find out exactly what's in it tonight at 10. Talk to you then.

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 12, 2005 3:45 AM (ET) The email questions are up for those who qualify to participate online. Click on "She Said What" to your left, and good luck. A very big thank you to the Cammy folks who are giving me an award. These are the Beach Music professionals and I'm delighted to be among them. Willie C. will be accepting for me. I had hoped to be there in person, but as happens to often, we've been under the weather here. We're there in spirit though and I'm grateful to everyone who shares my passion for keeping beach music alive. Actually it's more than alive-- it's a lifestyle as it has been for over 50 years now and the five day celebration leading up to the Cammy's Sunday night proves it. A big thank you to everyone who felt I did anything worthy of recognition. I'm little more than a fan with a microphone. And I'll be back in front of that microphone Monday night, and writing here before that. Have an excellent weekend!

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 11, 2005 4:45 AM (ET) Three big hours of trivia at 10! And we'll continue to vote on the World's Worst Hit Records-- talk to you tonight.

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 10, 2005 5:20 AM (ET) When a store deletes christmas in favor of Happy Holidays, some people might think it's inclusive. But when that same store has a website search engine that turns up hundreds of entries for Chanukah and dozens for Kwanzaa, but entering the word "Christmas" brings you to their "holiday" page, what does that tell you? According to this giant retailer most of the world doesn't celebrate Christmas. We'll tell you what else they have to say, tonight at 10.

WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 9, 2005 3:00 AM (ET) From the "I Feel Safe Now" file, the Army has discovered that one of its civilian translators lied about his name, country of birth, age and background and has ties to al-Quaeda. We had a few chances to discover all that-- one when he sought asylum here, another when he became a citizen, and a third when he was hired by the department of defense! Then there's the passenger on an American Air jet-- without identity or a ticket, but there's more and you'll hear it tonight at 10.

TUESDAY NOVEMBER 8, 2005 2:30 AM (ET) Lots of requests for Governor Lamm's speech on how to destroy America. Snopes verified its accuracy and reprinted it here. I was less successful finding all the FBI secret files (so to speak) but there is a good Washington Post story on MSNBC.com with a lot of it. Click here.

Tom Sanders listens to the show and has a couple of hilarious articles online. We're voting on the World's Worst Hit Records, but just imagine them in French. La Chanson De Shoop Shoop is worth reading. And from they may not have been hits, but they probably were worst-- or at least downright odd, here's the insider's guide to outsider music.

Should you be in the Delaware Valley area and want to know more about the FTAA, check out Recliaming America, a free speech about the FTAA and other threats to our liberty by JBS president John McManus and CEO Art Thompson ata the Hilton Valley Forge 251 W. Dekalb Pike in King of Prussia. It's today from 4-6:30 and there's no charge. Don't miss it. Also on the 15th, at 7:30 in New Jersey (United Food & Commercial Workers Union Hall, 400 Commerce Lane & Route 73, just north of the Berlin Circle in West Berlin) it's Art Crino on Restoring American Prospertiy (Stop the FTAA). Tickets are $7 in advance, $10 at the door. For more info, write to getusoutmarlton@comcast.net.

Finally for those of you wanting to see the article on Sony/BMG' stealth trojan, click here. It's an article by Molly Wood on CNET and the site has plenty of info on the subject.

So when we next talk (in about 19 hours) some elections will undoubtedly have been decided. Who will rule New Jersey? Will Surfer Girl be the new mayor of San Diego? We'll tackle thse and other questions-- along with a big one about the Patriot Act. Let me back up first. In case you missed it, the last two weeks in France have seen muslim immigrants rioting in every city. Maybe they want the state of "Paristine" to quote Joseph Farah in WND.com. La Voz de Aztlan sees the riots as role models. They're the group in LA that calls themselves "American's Palestinians" and promises that the US Soutwest will be an independent spanish speaking state before too long. Republica del Norte. They're taking "how to" tips from Islamic extremists. So I have only one question? Exactly where is the Patriot Act when you finally need it? We'll answer it tonight at 10.

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 6, 2005 11:30 PM (ET) The email questions are up, if you qualify for online trivia. Click on "She Said What" to your left and have at it. Good to talk with Joanie Sommers Friday night. She'd love to hear from her fans. You can reach her at joaniesommers62@yahoo.com What a voice. As for me, I managed to break a toe Saturday. Jon insisted it be looked at. 4 hours in emergency and... I broke a toe Saturday. It could be worse... Worse Did anyone say worse? We'll continue to vote on the World's Worst Hit Records, and speaking of worse-- it just got worse: The latest executive order out of the White House assures that the only privacy left for an American citizen is the government's right to keep private from you, all the information they're now able to collect about you without your knowledge. Used to be that information like that was destroyed when it turned out you weren't a terrorist. Now it's data-banked forever with all the information commercial brokers can legally provide, and shared. Why this matters, should you have any questions, tonight at 10.

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 4, 2005 3:20 AM (ET) Trivia tonight-- we might talk with Joanie Sommers at 10, schedule permitting, and if so we'll find out if Johnny got mad after all these years. We'll also discover if she really came alive in the Pepsi Generation. She's alive and well in Buffalo now and hopefully you'll hear about it first hand tonight. I'll let you know as soon as it's scheduled for sure. (I'd check now but I'm sure she wouldn't be particularly pleased at hearing from anyon at 3 in the morning.) Either way, we'll have trivia and we'll continue to vote on the World's Worst Hit Records. Talk to you at 10.

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 3, 2005 2:30 AM (ET) Parents have no due process or privacy right to override the determinations of public schools as the the information to which their children will be exposed while enrolled as students. So says the appellate court in California. The case is about elementary school kids being handed a form with explicitly sexual questions-- from the physical-- self-touching to the emotional-- how they felt while washing their bodies. Further a parent's right to custody or care of their kids is not exclusively theirs. Unconstitutional parenting, tonight at 10, along with your votes on the World's Worst Hit Records ("Tiptoe THrough The Tulips" is the early front runner).

WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 2, 2005 2:40 AM (ET) Last year 750,000 thousand people were arrested on Marijuana charges. Some states have fewer people. Next year, none of them will be in Denver which has just passed a law legalizing the substance. The only problem is the Feds-- DEA and that crowd who may have other ideas. What then? We'll be learning all about the 10th amendment and the civil war tonight at 10. We'll continue to vote on the World's Worst Hit Records too! Talk to you then.

TUESDAY NOVEMBER 1, 2005 1:45 AM (ET) Health Care Horrors. Most everyone knows that the rate your insurance company pays for a covered service is a lot less than you'd pay if you weren't insured. But did you know if you are insured and your insurance company doesn't cover a service-- like a specific blood test-- you'll be billed for the full rate, not the discount an insurance company would have gotten if they covered it. They might have paid $20 bucks, you'll bepaying $220. Outrage and proof there is no health care choice. If you don't fall lockstep in line with the insurance company conclusions over what tests and services you need, you'll be priced out of any choice. Details tonight at 10.

And speaking of Horrors, we'll continue to vote on the World's Worst Hit Records-- our annual poll began last night (a night of horrors, Halloween) and will conclude on Thanksgiving (a night of turkeys, when we play back the top 10). It's a cumulative total, so vote for stuff already mentioned, or nominate something new-- or both. We're already off to a roaring start with many of the perennial un-favorites, plus a few first time entries. Vote often, vote early (just like political elections).

MONDAY OCTOBER 31, 2005 2:05 AM Trick or treat-- speaking of tricks the trivia queswtions are up for those of you who qualify to play online. Click on "She Said What" to your left. The treats begin tonight-- as you get to vent. As it's a night for horrors we'll open our annual World's Worst Hit Records poll. You can vote until the day before Thanksgiving-- and appropriately we'll play the turkeys on Turkey Day. But as for what else is on my mind tonight: Why we don't need a federal program-- for anything. 101. Today's lesson takes us to Arizona where the state is spending a fortune educating kids born to illegals. The Feds don't think they're spending enough. And so it is that they're threatening to withhold $500 million in transportation funds, thus halting interstate construction .Get 'em out of education and off the roads. Plus more on the Bush administration halting Valerie Plame's career-- but in fairness we'll also revisit Clinton's blood scandals, halting hundreds of lives. Politics as usual tonight at 10.

FRIDAY OCTOBER 28, 2005 10:00 PM (ET) Quick! Turn on your radio! I'm about to talk with Bob Hamilton and if you're a radio fan, you don't want to miss this. Check out his webiste at www.newradiostar.com.

FRIDAY OCTOBER 28, 2005 3:00 AM (ET) Trivia tonight at 10. Talk to you then.

THURSDAY OCTOBER 27, 2005 4:20 AM (ET) Japan's largest telephone company has developed a way to control you. Literally. You want to walk left, it will make you walk right, or in any direction it desires, against you will and effectively. They say it's to enhance the experience of computer games. War games might be more like it. And if they're already demonstrating how it controls you physically, do you doubt it can influence you mentally? New meaning to the New World Order tonight at 10.

WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 26,2005 1:45 AM (ET) There's a move afoot to silence whistleblowers-- sue 'em for libel. We've talked about it in the public sector, but private companies are jumping at the chance to shut up their detractors. Take Elk Mountain Motors in Colorado, the car lot suing a guy in Aspen who bought an Audi unhappily and has posted a few signs on it saying "Friends don't let friends shop at Elk Mtn Motors." The car folks say the problem is what it implies. From the "it's not what you said, it's what we think you mean" crowd, it's the thought police, tonight at 10.

Condolences to all his friends, colleagues and everyone who listened to one of the radio stations with which Michael Spears was associated over the past 40 years. Michael, 59, has lost his five year battle with cancer. From his early days as Hal Martin on KLIF 1190 in Dallas to his programming of KFRC and KHJ, to his ownership of WPLP, a talk station in Tampa Bay, to his return to Dallas, where he spent 8 years as the unlikely but highly successful architect of KKDA and later program director of KRLD (where our show is now proudly heard) , to his deserved recognition by being inducted into the Texas Radio Hall of Fame, Michael Spears, lived, ate and breathed radio. He leaves a sister, Nancy, and tons of radio friends, behind.

I knew Michael, but it wasn't as if we were good friends. Thinking about him now, the first thing that comes to mind is that Billboard convention in '75 where he got that PD of the Year award. I'll always remember him, looking as perfectly coiffed and immaculately dressed as any male model (a description his later friends might never believe of the casual Spears, but dead on at the time), exuding the confidence and personality of a winner and truly being on top of his game. I've often joked that stations sounded like their program directors looked. I don't mean that literally, but rather that stations take on the essence of the guy (or gal) in charge. Akin to the old 'you gotta win in the halls to win on the air', a station embodies a dynamic leader (and it doesn't have to be a PD-- can be a GM or whomever is calling the shots regardless of title). Think about it (if you've been in radio awhile, that is). The fun of WMCA was Ruth Meyers. The excitement of several Bartell stations was George Wilson. KQV and WLS at their height was John Rook. And in 1975, KFRC was on top of their game, and very much Michael Spears in his prime. Rest in peace, Michael. You'll be missed.

Speaking of Dallas, and KRLD, congratulations to Tom Bigby who has attained enviable success in the year he's been programming the 50kw powerhouse there but now it's a return to Philadelphia, where he'll serve as OM of WYSP. It'll be great to have him back in town-- and I'll forever be grateful for him putting me on both WPHT here and KRLD there. When I say a prayer of thanks each night, he's high on my list of blessings. It'll be fun to hear his handiwork in town (if you're a bettor, bet on his success anywhere), but I'll miss working directly with him. He leaves KRLD in great shape and I look forward to being part ofwhat I know will be their continued success. Jerry Bobo continues as GM-- and if he isn't "Mr. Dallas Radio" than no one is. Looking forward to meeting Gavin Spittle too. He came to Dallas a few years ago after an admirable job at KXNT in Las Vegas (what a nice signal at 840!). Well enough radio talk. Gonna go listen to some-- and I'll talk to you tonight at 10.

TUESDAY OCTOBER 25, 2005 2:45 AM (ET) Elgin. It's in Illinois. Illinois is in the USA. I clarify that, as you might never know it at Larkin High School there. First it was replacing the US flag with the Mexican flag. Then it was an assembly where the only flag visible was Mexico's. Followed by the reprimanding of an American student who did not wish to stand for the Mexican national anthem. Nothing wrong with suggesting students honor other cultures. Everything wrong with placing them ahead of ours and mandating it. Details of dangerous political correctness tonight at 10.

MONDAY OCTOBER 24, 2005 3:01 AM (ET) We're so worried about protecting our borders-- and rightly worried, that we failed to notice that we can't even protect our military bases on American soil. The latest roundup includes illegal immigrants employed as cooks, janitors, even foreign-language instructors-- on our bases. Some were sent home. Others were escorted off the base and released. So you wonder why our government would hire illegals? They didn't. Every one of these people got their jobs the same way-- from contractors. Let's talk about closing that loophole tonight at 10.

SUNDAY OCTOBER 23, 2005 9:59PM (ET) The email questions are up for those of you who qualify. Click on 'She Said What' to your left. I'll be back in a couple of hours to type to you further, but I wanted to make sure those of you listening to the replays of Friday's trivia will have a shot at a question too!

FRIDAY OCTOBER 21, 2005 7:00 AM (ET) I mean to go to sleep before 7 in the morning, and one of these days I'll actually do it. Regardless I'll be wide awake 10 tonight talking to you. We might have 3 big hours of trivia-- or we might talk to Keith for a while. For 'who is Keith' check last Friday's entry. For why he wasn't on: the flu. We'll assess his condition later today and converse with him tonight, maybe. Trivia, however, is a definite! Looking forward to it.

THURSDAY OCTOBER 20, 2005 1:50 AM (ET) Your rights as a parent go on trial today. Remember the dad who was jailed for refusing to leave a school meeting until he was assured he'd be notified before talk of homosexual couples was raised in class? Gay activists do, and they'll be on hand. What might be missing is the core of this issue-- does a parent have the right to determine what his child is taught? The school board says no, which is enough to privatize education and end these government halls of indoctrination now, says me. You'll have your say tonight at 10.

A continuing theme is the incredulous nature of illegal immigration. When the head of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff said he was dedicated to removing every illegal immigrant, I knew something was up-- but it didn't occur to me that the next day Bush would be pushing to legalize all of them. That's one way around it, but not a good one. Many facets of this, a lot of them economic, and none of them encouraging. We've gone over most of it, and it'll come up angain and again so I'll save the rest of the discussion for the radio. Talk to you then.

WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 19, 2005 5:20 AM (ET) Prayer is back in school. Don't celebrate yet. An elementary school in California insisted 12 year old students adopt Muslim names, pray to Allah (memorizing the Bismillah) and play Jihad games in a class on who knows what. The liberal 9th circuit will hear this today and decide when a prayer is not a prayer. Something tells me we haven't a prayer, but if they rule for it, we've got some interesting possibilities and a depressing reality to discuss, tonight at 10.

TUESDAY OCTOBER 18, 2005 3:50 AM (ET) Justice in America. Let's say you're arrested. The district attorney bringing charges is allowing the entire process to be part of a documentary about him in a county known for being opposed your kind. The DA himself has a track record of going after people like you-- and losing. Now you're facing a judge who is on the record of opposing you. He routinely spends money to defeat you. Yes it's politics, and no matter what you think of Tom DeLay, a deck stacked this badly could happen to you next time. Injustice in America, tonight at 10.

MONDAY OCTOBER 17, 2005 2:15 AM (ET) A big welcome to Newstalk 104.9, an FM powerhouse along the Gulf Coast covering Biloxi, Gulfport, Pascagoula, and most of Mobile! They've just switched to talk, and I'm happy to be part of their new lineup. What great timing, too. 104.9 listeners can tell us first hand about their unique perspective of the Katrina catastrophe. As things begin to turn around, I'm delighted to be part of what are the unexpected positive changes appearing in the aftermath. (Not exactly humble, but definitely heartfelt.) The region is a lot more than hurricane alley though, and I'm looking forward to Gulf Coast input on a variety of topics. Speaking of topics... have I ever got one for you:

You probably heard there was a riot in Toledo over the weekend.. over a planned Nazi march that was cancelled before it even began. Businesses and cars burned, people assaulted, 60 arrests for.. something that didn't happen. I'm sure you know all about it. But let me tell you about something that did happen over the weekend that I'll bet you know absolutely nothing. At prestigious Howard University Law School in Washington DC their was a seminar. Unity was in the title, but racial extermination was on the dais. We'll give you direct quotes and more. What you didn't hear, you will tonight at 10. Talk to you then!

SATURDAY OCTOBER 15, 2005 2:15 AM (ET) The email questions are up, if iyou qualify for online trivia. Click on "She Said What" to your left to find out if ou're eligible an good luck! A couple events that might interest you:

RFID protest at Wal-Mart today 10A-Noon in the Metroplex! 3155 W, Wheatland Road in Dallas. Find out more at spychips.com.

TOM TANCREDO R-CO, a tireless foe of illegal immigration in congress, is speaking in Greenville, SC at 6:30 PM this evening. "Illegal Imigration and Our National Security" is the topic. He'll be at Greenville Tech i the J. Verne Smith Auditorium which is near the school's main entrance on South Pleasantburg Drive (Hwy. 291).

If you're anywhere near either of these events, it would be well worth your while to stop by and show your support. Both excellent causes. Then this Tuesday the 18th, should you be in D.C., check out Real Tax Reform-- the movement to repeal all all federal income tax (including Social Security/Medicare taxes) replacing them with a national sales tax. Immediately following the adjournment of the final meeting of the tax reform panel, there will be a get together at the JW Marriott. Could be as early as 1 p.m. Lots of folks will be on hand, find out more from tom.wright@fairtax.org.

I'll be back to type to you before Monday's show. Till then-- have a safe happy weekend!

FRIDAY OCTOBER 14, 2005 1:25 AM (ET) We'll talk to Keith at 10-- remember him? If you think he's a one hit wonder ("98.6") then we've got a lot to share. We'll talk about his career from his early days in Philadelphia to what he's doing today, share some great '60s memories and maybe we'll get confirmation on a long standing rumor. You want hints? We'll save them for trivia which we'll play from 11 to 1. Looking forward to talking to you at 10.

THURSDAY OCTOBER 13, 2005 7:00 PM (ET) It's already becoming one of my favorite sites, and I managed th screw up the url (now corrected, below) but why keep looking for it when you can just go to NorthCountryGazette.Org for yourself. It's the site of June Maxam who digs up some of the most disturbing must reads about judicial misconduct. We'll kick off the show tonight at 10 with June!

THURSDAY OCTOBER 13, 2005 3:45 AM (ET) Across America battle lines are drawn-- remove God. Get the ten commandments our of court houses, get "under god" out of the pledge of allegiance. It's been a dissent since prayer was removed from schools. Like it or not, it's our government today--- the same government that spilled the blood of our sons and daughters in an attempt to give Iraq our form of government-- only one problem. God is all over their constitution from the preamble to the source of law. Irony tonight.

At 10 we'll talk to June Maxam of NorthCountryGazette.org --a tireless whistleblower for judicial wrong doing-- and do we have a case for you. I hinted about it Monday-- Else Baumgartner, the woman now accused of stealing her own car. You might ask how that's possible, or like Linda Kennedy, how she was able to be disbarred for bringing court irregularities to light, and June might not have answers-- but she will tell you the story and you'll start to see that some amazing un-American stuff is happening all the time in America. You'll also hear about June's own saga-- how her aged father could be denied nursing home care because his daughter was an activist. Yes they said this. Find out what else they said, tonight.

But even before that, find out who won the Vermont Teddy Bears ("Fool For You Bear") and PajamaGrams. We'll announce that at 10:06 ET. But even if you didn't win, you're always a winner when you give a Vermont Teddy Bear or PajamaGram. Sweetest Day is this Saturday and it's not too late to order for Friday (at work even) or Saturday delivery. Talk to you tonight!

WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 12, 2005 3:20 AM (ET) Imagine you're a private business owner-- a tavern, to be exact, outside of Cincinnati Ohio. For a variety of reasons, you decide to put a sign in your window. It says "For Service, Speak English". Also for a variety of reasons, that sounds pretty reasonable to most of us. But not to the Ohio Civil Rights Commission which has ruled the owner has violated the state civl rights law by being discriminatory. Never mid that the owner can't speak another language-- maybe he'll learn during diversity training or cultural sensitivity classes. Yes, that and more tonight at 10.

TUESDAY OCTOBER 11, 2005 3:40 AM (ET) 65 people have died, in Asia, an area where 60% of the world population resides, a population numbered in the billions. With a B. I'm not sure there are enough zeros available to state the fraction of a percent of people that represents. Those 65 people have died of a virus that they contracted from sick... chickens. We're not sure it can even pass human to human. 65 people. Out of 3.5 billion. And that has us discussing what to do about the coming world wide flu pandemic. Either this is new math, the indoor olympics in conclusion jump, or once again we're missing something sinister here. We'll try to find it tonight at 10.

MONDAY OCTOBER 10, 2005 2:50 AM (ET) New Orleans is considering releasing prisoners accused of rape and murder-- meanwhile people are stuck in Louisiana prisons for years convicted of personal drug possession.... New Jersey is considering selling the Turnpike to foreign interests-- sounds like a joke about buying the Brooklyn Bridge-- claiming they're cash strapped while ignoring the billions of unreported funds they hold.... And then there's a woman in Illinois arrested for stealing her own car. And no one reported it missing. We got a lot to talk about tonight at 10.

We've also got a couple of contests this week. In honor of Sweetest Day (what do you mean, you've never heard of "Sweetest Day"-- if you're from Cleveland you have), we'll be giving away Vermont Teddy Bears and Pajama Grams. As usual, our panel of judge will be rewarding the best stories. For the Bears (that's the "Fool For Love" bear, check it out at vermontteddybear.com) just tell us the best excuse you've ever used to let someone know you care (or conversely the best excuse someone used to let you know they cared). Let's face it, Sweetest Day is a stretch-- but a nice one. Howeve I know you can probably beat it with your own past. For the Pajama Grams (and you can see some at pajamagram.com though I won't know what we're giving away until it shows up later this week), just tell me the oddest thing you've ever given someone to show your affection (or conversely the oddest thing you've ever received from someone wanting to show their affection to you). While PajamaGrams are not odd gifts, they're definitely different-- but I bet there's some oddity in your past. Best stories win. We'll take calls tonight through Wednesday night and announce the winners on Thursday.

Vermont Teddy Bears and Pajama Grams are great ways to show you care anytime and you can order them right now. Just click on the links above (or to your left). Thanks.

SUNDAY OCTOBER 9, 2005 6:00 AM (ET) The good news is we got to spend an hour with Willie Tee Friday night. The bad news is we didn't get to do much of trivia before Verizon struck. Something failed at the telephone central office that serves us, and off the air we were. (An older show aired in my place, after some other snafus I won't belabor. Murphy's Law in action top to bottom on this one.) What's really upsetting is we have total redundancy so when this happens we can simply switch to another ISDN pair, which is always ready to go, but as fate would have it, whatever went wrong, went wrong for both pairs. I'm sure this next part won't shock you either-- less than 10 minutes after the show as over, both were back in working order.

We'll leave last week's online questions up for this week too-- and we'll open them up for anyone who cares to ake a shot at one of them. Usually we restrict it to people who can't hear the show live, but Friday night that was everyone. I'll talk to you Monday night-- and type to you before then.

FRIDAY OCTOBER 7, 2005 3:31 AM (ET) Willie Tee on tonight at 10! If you're a Beach Music fan, you know "Teasin' You" and "Walking Up A One Way Street" and "Thank You John" and more. What you might not know is Willie just lost his home, courtesy of Katrina. (Yes he lived in New Orleans-- and his wonderful music sounds it.) Then at 11, we'll play trivia, where I know you'll know something--and probably win too. Talk to you then!

THURSDAY OCTOBER 6, 2005 3:31 AM (ET) You wanted him back, and we got him. David Adair-- the guy who played with rockets as a kid. Built one that attracted the government's attention, and the next thing he knew he was underground in a top secret location staring at proof that aliens have been here. But that's not the best part-- technological advances he saw decades ago are now becoming part of society. Some good and some, we'll he'll tell you all about it tonight at 10.

It was good to talk with William Gheen about illegal immigration last night. Check out his alipac.us site and get involved.

WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 5, 2005 1:15 AM (ET) So you think you've heard it all when it comes to immigration. And you think there's a difference between the democrat and republican attitude towards the subject? Let me present John Cornyn, republican, Texas and his bill in the US Senate (S.2941). The one that wants that wants us to build a state of the art Mexican infrastructure. That's roads, telephony, education and more. Lots more. With your tax dollars. Lots of 'em. Why? So we can reduce the wealth gap between the US and Mexico-- you'll be poorer, they'll be richer. Amazement tonight at 10.

TUESDAY OCTOBER 4, 2005 2:00 AM (ET) Your tax dollars at work. Many people have questioned the $29 million dollars given to Alaska to raise awareness of-- seafood. But even those who think that we need to spend money to do that, might be hard pressed to defend this. Alaska Airlines received half a million dollars to paint a plane to look like-- a Salmon. A Chinook, actually. According to the airline, it's a dream shared by many fishermen and no question the finest airplane art ever. There are a lot of other questions and a few nightmares tonight at 10.

The one thing you don't hear about the latest Supreme Court nominee is that she's all in favor of the International Criminal Court. Everything else shouldn't matter. More on her, and more on immigration insanity tonight. In the meantime, you might want to check out www.weneedafence.com and sign the petition.

SUNDAY OCTOBER 2, 2005 11:00 PM (ET) I hope you've beeen having a good weekend-- it's probably been better than it could have been if you heard some of the news that didn't make it to a newscast near you. For instance, a federal district court judge ruled last week that right to privacy of an illegal alien is more important than the safety of an American. Let me lay it out for you. Someone enters America illegally, rapes and kills a citizen does jail time-- reimbursed by the feds to the states, by the way-- gets out, and no one has a right to know who they are or if they're still here. It gets worse, the judge is affirming the Bush policy on this which gives people invading America more rights than law abiding citizens. And that's just one example of what you didn't hear. We'll have more insanity Monday night at 10. Talk to you then.

SATURDAY OCTOBER 1, 2005 3:00 AM (ET) If you aren't able to hear trivia live, the email questions are online. Click on "She Said What" to your left, and good luck! I'll be back to type to you before Monday's show. Until then, have a wonderful weekend!
