CAN'T A MAN TAKE A VACATION?

Apparently not, according to Kenny:

Subject: Another damn vacation?
Name: Kenny

Haven't you already been to Tucson and San Francisco already this year?

Given the fact you put in less than 23 hours a week what was the point of taking yet another vacation? Bad enough but then you don't have the decency to let the listeners know "where" you were going. Somehow that just irks the heck out of me.

You're getting to be as bad as Clark Howard. Atleast if you take a pointless vacation let the listeners know where you're going as a common courteousy afterall as a public figure you are accountable to the people who keep you employed and pay patronage to your advertisers.....not to yourself or your wife.

Vacations are what killed other radio hosts shows as listeners want to get what they pay for and not to hear "best-of" tapes or 2nd rate guesthosts.

You and Clark Howard need to learn this so I guess as a listener it's up to me to set you straight.

REDNECK SCRAP BOOK

Well, that's one way to get the little buggers to go down for their nap. More in the Redneck Scrap Book.

READING ASSIGNMENTS

Michael Barone says that we shouldn't pull the plug on Iraq. It will only embolden our enemies and make us weak in the eyes of Islamic radicals.

And even major U.S. Generals in Iraq say that pulling of Iraq will come at a terrible price. What more do defeatocrats need?

John Edwards is on a mission to "diversify" government schools. He wants to encourage income diversity so that everyone can have a fair shot at a government education ... yep, sounds like a liberal plan to me!

Fidel Castro is at it again. He believes (as do many peace-at-any-price liberals) that Bush deliberately let 9/11 happen, just so America could go to war.

But it looks like he isn't the only one. One of our own Representatives, Keith Ellison of Minnesota recently made a speech comparing Bush to Hitler.

Michael Novak wants to educate the public on three essential points on Iraq. Seeing as most of our public doesn't even care about the news, it seems like a difficult plan to achieve. And speaking of the news ...

We've talked about this before on the show, how teens pay little to no attention to the news. Here's another survey showing that only 9% of teens (that's any under 18) read the newspaper. If they get any news at all, it is from television.

Government outrage: The federal government wants to take away an elderly couple's house because they owe $1.63 in taxes.

Another government outrage! This one (surprisingly) has to do with Congressional spending. Democrats will have you think that they are protecting the ballooning federal budget, when in actuality they are passing pork left and right, with votes that the public hardly hears about.

An 8-year-old boy tried to get on a plane but can't because he is told "you're a terrorist." I'm sure that was news to him ... considering there are no children on the terrorist watch list.

The Hamas Mickey Mouse has been replaced by a Bee ... and vowed to continue on the path of martyrdom and jihad. In case you've forgotten, this is a show for little children. Here's the video.

You know those cutesy dancing snacks they bombard you with before a movie? We think it should immediately be replaced with this. Warning: not safe for work.
