I cannot help but make one final comment on this matter, Mid-West Family Broadcasting.
Replacing Steve Parker with Jim Leach is like replacing a cast iron skillet with a tin plate and replacing Brian and Kellie with Parker is more akin to replacing a Ferrari with a beat up, rusted out 1978 Plymouth.
It is apparent to me that Mid-West Family Broadcasting is not willing to allow a divergent view point (aka Brians' recent post on his blog about the former First Lady) and although they legally have the right, they were wrong morally and we can only hope that in the end it hits them where it hurts the worst - in the pocketbook.
Good luck B&K, as always you will land squarely on your feet!

Brian and Kellie
It appears that the WNNS morning drive hosts, Brian and Kellie, were fired yesterday due to some comments that Brian made about former First Lady Hillary Clinton.
Although some would argue that free speech has been violated, the fact of the matter is employers can and do punish employees for comments they make that are not work related; that said, I know Brian and Kellie and personally feel this action is unjustified.
Let us look at the issue here, what he said was that Hillary had previously said she "loathed" the military. I have no absolute proof she said that, but for me actions speak louder than words; it has been clear that the Clintons have little use for the military and treated them with utter disdain.
Brian and Kellie had a large following, considering the size of Springfield and their morning show was always upbeat, positive and lively; unlike others such as Jim Leach that cannot get through an entire program without berating the President, Vice President or spewing his liberal BS out.
Oh, btw - guess who is now on WNNS in the afternoons? You guessed it! Jim "No Brain" Leach.
So much for Mid-West Family Broadcasting being above partisan politics.

Failed Appeal
Well it appears that Duane Chapman (Dog the Bounty Hunter) may soon be headed to Mexico to face charges that he was bounty hunting illegally in Mexico.
The second district court in Guadalajara has rejected Mr. Chapman's injunction request which will now clear the way to him to be extradited.
What can I say, if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. Duane Chapman knew that bounty hunting was illegal in Mexico and after being arrested what did he do? He ran, just like most other criminals; and did exactly what he chases down criminals for doing. So I ask you, what is the difference? Absolutely nothing!
Mr. Chapman argues that since bounty hunting is legal in the United States he should not be extradited; well that depends on where in the United States you are. As an example, it is illegal to operate as a bounty hunter in Kentucky, Illinois, Oregon, and Wisconsin.
There are 11 states which require a bounty hunter to be specifically licensed (which Mr. Chapman is not): Indiana, Nevada, Mississippi, South Dakota, Connecticut, Arizona, Utah, Iowa, Louisiana, California, and West Virginia.
Mr. Chapman is not permitted to act as a bounty hunter in the very state that he was convicted of murder in - namely Texas. I wonder why?
The bottom line is, Mr. Chapman left the United States and engaged in illegal activity in a foreign country and he should be held responsible for that action by sending him back to finally stand trial.
As he likes to say, nobody is above the law - well Mr. Chapman that includes YOU!
