My thoughts on Wisconsin: Recall Walker/Kleefisch time

As we approach a critical election come June 5th in Wisconsin, I hope and pray that all Wisconsinites with a sense of decency to vote out the current Governor Scott Walker (R), Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch (R), and all the GOP State Senators subjected to recall (Scott Fitzgerald, Van Wanggaard, Terry Moulton, and Jerry Petrowski) and vote in their Democratic counterparts.  The Walker/Kleefisch/Fitzgerald agenda (Illinois-bashing, union-busting, voter suppression, homophobia, War On Women, et al...) is harming Wisconsin's working class, the middle-class, unions, the poor, and decent-minded folks of Wisconsin, so do your duties to vote them Koch Bros.-backed scumbags out on Tuesday, June 5th, 2012.


As I say it loudly and clearly, it's time to RECALL WALKER AND KLEEFISCH! And also the 4 GOP State Senators in question! Do NOT let the Koch Brothers, Karl Rove, and their cronies decide this election.







The polls open from 7AM CDT and close at 8PM CDT.

The story behind Rally Copper's introduction

  On a Monday afternoon, I had an idea for the 4th member of the Cardinals Rally Squad. We already had Torty Craig, Sir Glovington A. Wilson, and Rally Squirrel around. The newest arrival's name was Rally Copper.

And as for selecting the name "Rally Copper," it was named after Fox 2 Morning Anchor Angie Mock's puppy dog, Copper. It seemed to be a perfect fit, considering that I like the Cardinals, puppies, and Mock.

KPNT fires Thom and Jeff. Tommy Mattern and Dana Loesch to blame?

A lot of the KPNT 105.7 The Point's loyal listeners are pissed off at the firing of Thom and Jeff.

From: Tommy Mattern
Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2011 1:04 PM
To: St. Louis Mail List
Subject: Emmis St. Louis

KPNT is restructuring and consolidating it's on-air line up. As of
today, Thom West and Jeff Burton will no longer be employed by the
station. Each are long time employees that have done a good job for the
Point. Please join me in wishing both Thom and Jeff the best of luck in
the next stage of their careers.

Who's to blame? Tommy Mattern and likely KFTK's hate talker Dana Loesch as well.
However, I've heard Jeff Burton say it's due to budget cuts (presumably to either pay Loesch a bigger salary and/or the fatcats at Emmis HQ).

Schedule (M-F):
6-10AM: Woody and Rizzuto
10AM-2PM: Lux
2-6PM: Donnie Fandango (around Summer 2009, he was moved from 6-10A to 10A-2PM)
6-10PM: Drew

BREAKING: Fox 2 hires Shawndrea Thomas

KTVI has hired a new anchor, and her name is Shawndrea Thomas. She is expected to work the 5 and 6PM Weekday newscasts on Fox2, possibly causing either Sandy Miller, Mandy Murphey, and/or Tom O'Neal to be pink slipped. The story was first broken by Fox 2 meteorologist Angela Hutti, on Twitter. Will she get a warm reception from Fox 2's fans, or will she be chastised rudely like what Angie Mock has received (a topic that I covered last night)? KTVI has also mentioned it on their Facebook and Twitter pages.



My verdict: For now, the jury's still out on whether she's any good or not as a reporter.

Keith Olbermann retuns to Current tonight

Guess who's coming back to TV tonight? Keith Olbermann. He is back on Current TV (the home to Al Gore and Vanguard), and his show will still be titled Countdown With Keith Olbermann. It'll be a bit different from his MSNBC incarnation of the show.



Shame that Charter still don't have Current TV.

MLB Network Changes

In the past few days, there has been significant programming and hosting changes at MLB Network.

1st off: Quick Pitch, which was alternated by Hazel Mae and Matt Yallof, is now hosted by Paul Severino, with Lisa Kerney doing weekend editions.

Next, The Rundown debuted this past Friday, with both of the former main Quick Pitch hosts (Mae and Yallof) now hosting the program. It holds the 3PM-5PM EDT/2-4PM CDT slot.

Recently, Intentional Talk debuted yesterday on both MLB Network and MLB Network radio. It is hosted by former Red Sox Kevin Millar and Fox Sports' Chris Rose.

Overall, the changes are for the better.

Keith Olbermann leaves MSNBC

I am saddened to hear that MSNBC got rid of one of my favorite TV Commentators, Keith Olbermann. He was a beacon of truth through these past several years.

I smell bullshit over at Comcast and MSNBC, and this is worse than Phil Donahue's unfair firing in 2003.

100.3 The Sound flips to Gen X 100.3, a bad move?

I was upset to see 100.3 The Sound go bye-bye this past Sunday Morning. About a year ago, I was a happy camper when it started up. Any bets that Dana Loesch was responsible for this?


Also, longtime AC KEZK rebrands from Soft Rock 102.5 to Fresh 102.5.

CBS RADIO AC KEZK (SOFT ROCK 102.5)/ST. LOUIS will rebrand as "FRESH 102.5" after its current CHRISTMAS stunting is over. The rebranding will take effect on DECEMBER 27th at 5a (CT).

CBS RADIO ST. LOUIS SVP and Market Manager JOHN SHEEHAN said, “The KEZK call letters have always been synonymous with Adult Contemporary radio in ST. LOUIS. That will never change. The evolution to FRESH 102.5 allows us to contemporize the radio station to match the expectations of our core listeners.”

The station is now looking for a new morning show, with ED GOODMAN not in the post-FRESH lineup.

http://www.allaccess.com/net-news/archive/story/84741/kezk-st-louis-to-rebrand-as-fresh-102-5

KYKY (Y98)'s Phillips and Company will be switched over to KEZK, as will some of their personalities, such as Paul Cook. Remember The Answer Show with Stel Pontikes being moved from KYKY to KEZK to gone in less than a year.

BRING BACK 100.3 THE SOUND!!!

Lonesome Rhodes Beck devotes another full hour show to smear Soros

Yet another day in the land of Batshit Crazy Glenn Beck demonizing Soros. He is still doing the "puppet master" crap with George Soros.

Frankly, Chalky Beck needs to be hit in the head with a cactus for being a hateful man who lies daily.

Glenn Beck calls George Soros a "puppet master" on his lie-ridden show

On today's edition of Glenn Beck, Lonesome Rhodes was making up shit about George Soros.
He was lying as usual.

These are the clips that Chalky Beck falsely portrays Soros as a "puppet master." Beck is so insane that he belongs in a mental asylum, and not behind a microphone.
