#WeHeartTim: The Tim Ezell era closes for good, Kim Hudson era opens







As the Tim Ezell era at Fox2 closed for good yesterday, we are entering a new era-- one that is led by Kim Hudson (who was promoted to 9AM host to replace Ezell). I was shocked and skeptical at first when they named Hudson to 9AM host, but in the past few days, she has proven to me that she could do his job well; however, I would've preferred Angie Mock in this role over K-Hud.

As for Hudson's current role, Fox2 has signed KTVQ (CBS affiliate in Billings, Montana) morning host Lisa Hart to fill in the 4AM/primary substitute anchor role that Hudson vacates, effective 08.04.2014.

I was sad to see Mr. Funny Man Ezell go off our airwaves, even if he wasn't everybody's cup of Uncle Si's tea.


Here's a video to Git Sum of your Ezell memories with, called No Bottom Jeans:

Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby: If SCOTUS rules in favor of Hobby Lobby, scary times are coming

Before the end of this month, the Supreme Court will make a critical decision on the fate of the HHS Mandate in Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby. If the Court rules in favor of Hobby Lobby, it will be very scary indeed on women's health care and LGBTQ issues, giving the right carte blanche to discriminate for their Religious Right agenda.

In a major dose of hypocrisy for Hobby Lobby, the company was for birth control before they flipped against it in 2012.








I hope and pray that SCOTUS rules in favor of Sebelius when they decide Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby, most likely on either June 26th or June 30th.
When the decision comes, I will say the ruling goes 5-4 in either direction.

Regardless of how the outcome goes, please boycott Hobby Lobby and shop elsewhere for arts and crafts!

 Also, this case at SCOTUS won't be the last HHS Mandate-related case to make it to the highest court of America.
