HERMAN CAIN FILLING IN

Neal Boortz's favorite fill-in, Herman Cain, will be taking over Neal's show while he is out today. You may not know he also has a weekday show of his own 7pm to 10pm every weeknights on News/Talk 750 WSB in Atlanta.

Herman Cain has a talent for cutting through and teaching you. He'll inform and entertain you on topics near to his (and your) heart-- Taxes, Government Incompetence and Waste, Campaign 2008--in Georgia and the Presidential Campaign, Immigration, The FairTax, Terrorism, and the economy. 'The Hermanator' will expose media bias--on a local and national scale. Listen...you just might learn something.

You can call in to the show today as usual, or email comments to Herman here.

DEAR TAMPA LISTENERS...

Unfortunately our longtime radio affiliate WWBA 1040 AM decided to take my show off the air, explaining we didn't have enough of you listening, which is absurd. I know there are thousands of you loyal listeners who have been calling and emailing this week to express your frustration and irritation over what has happened. Please feel free to let the station know you are out there and miss the "talkmaster" 813-281-1040 and/or email ceo@genesisradio.com
