Neal has headed out for a little R&R. Jay Severin will be filling in a bit on the air and the Nuze has been left in the hands of the webwench. None of you want to hear my views on politics so we'll be staying away from that. Instead, expect morning sickness style stories, entertaining tidbits, maybe a few nerdy things and whatever else I might find on The Internets. If none of this interests you, then come back September 19th. Neal should be well rested and "loaded for bear" as he'd say.

LISTENER EMAILS

Since you're going to miss a whole week of Neal reading your emails on the air, I'll post a few here. Remember, we always include a few in the Boortz Blast newsletter if you aren't already signed up. Note, I just copy-n-paste 'em. I have a hard enough time keeping my own and Neal's spelling & grammar errors in check. I'm sure not going to edit these. Besides, they're funnier this way, aren't they.

Joe proves that Neal is gay:

Hey Neal,

I always figgered you was gay, and now you've proven me right. I saw the photo of you hangin out with the Phantom of the Opera. He's got his hand on your shoulder (gay) you're standing extra close to him (gay), you've got your head tilted towards him (gay), it looks like you're in a dressing room with him (gay), and you got a twinkle in your eye (gay). I thought you was just gay, but now I know you're EXTRA gay.

But I still love your show.

Joe

I think Karl here doesn't doesn't appreciate Neal's comments on Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton:

A recent show had you tirading against people who support civil rights in America as "Pimps and Whores". Your name calling does a grave injustice to the men and women who sacrifice their time and energy to a very pertinent "just cause" even in this day and age. Your unwarranted attack and crass name calling has forced this casual listener to seek another voice in america to listen to. Shame on you for resorting to such baseless name calling and really using racial sterotypes to depict these honorable men and women! You should consider your who is listening to your tirades before you launch into one.

Michael here engages in a little name calling himself:

You are the ignorant slut now, I don't listen to you anymore and I caught one of your promos this am and what you say is why I don't listen. W lowered taxes and ignored the 4 years of experts telling him not to cut the improvements to NO levees, but NO he felt it wasn't important as global warming wasn't. Can't you see the forest thru the trees? He can't appoint a finger to pick his nose. He has picked people not prepared for the job but those he owes. The idea of homeland security is not just for the response to terror but to catastrophes, to delay the respose by two days is W's fault because he picked the man to lead the way.
He did the same thing for Katrina as he did on 9/11 he waited, 9/11 he was in a school class and for Katrina he thought it was more important to go to Idaho and San Diego.

He has yet to say one time that he has made a mistake, there is no ego in the administration Rove has it all. Learn that the Dems (not liberals) have their points and not all Dems are liberal, but noooooo you slam anyone who looks at the floppy eared scared rabbit of a president, one who hates to take responsiblity, just like he couldn't do his time properly in the National Guard as a high placed person. He is one of the lowest insects on this earth now that he has shown his lack of leadership, both in Iraq and with Katrina. Afghanistan will prove to go bad also, probably.

About 2 out of 4 times that I do hear one of your promos, I wonder about the idiots that listen to yu and your right winged cohorts.

Have a nice day-you dummy

READING ASSIGNMENTS

Morning Sickness 1: Eleven adoptive and foster kids were removed from a home in Ohio where they were kept in 3 1/2' cages. As of last night, no charges have been filed.

Morning Sickness 2: I think the sickness here is how stupid this guy is. Although I suspect alcohol was involved (well, duh!) UNC-Chapel Hill student cited for urinating in public, released, walks 50 feet and does it again. Now he's got 2 citations.

Today's bizarre cover song....an operatic version of AC/DC's Back in Black [3mb mp3] by The Beach Balls. Oh yeah. If you like covers, you should check out the podcast Coverville.

For no apparent reason, dogs in bee costumes.

Liberal comedian Garrison Keillor serves a blogger with a cease and desist for "A Prairie Ho Companion" parody t-shirts. Whoops, now he's getting bad press over it. Maybe he should've had a better sense of humor about it.

Union hires people to picket Wal-Mart with the complaint of low wages and unaffordable heath insurance. Picketers are paid $6/hour and receive no benefits.

Gifts for the morbid - the DMORT (Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team) Region V logo item store.
