John Still Passes The Baton
Hutchison takes the baton gingerly, pinching in the manner of someone holding a rotten fish with his arm outstretched and asks, “Does anybody have some Purell?”
Anyone Wanting to Throw Dave Burris Under A Bus, The Line Forms at WGMD
Does Atkins have some connections at WGMD or what?
Allan Loudell Supports McCain?
Dear Allan, I think you are great, but I might have to remove that question mark if I hear more drive time reports like tonights. Now, I didn’t hear the whole drive time news, but what I heard was unsettling. First off, when Rakestraw was asked about her thoughts on the Democratic race he had […]
IRSD Checking into Report of Obama-Smearing Teacher
Selander just told me on the air that the district is checking into the claims in a recent letter to the Cape Gazette which read in part: Last Tuesday, her teacher “taught” her class that Barack Obama is a Muslim and that she would not vote for him because he does not swear on the […]

Gross Incompetence II

As Nemski correctly pointed out, in the online edition of the version of the story called: Someone ‘dropped the ball’ in Lofink case, Sean O’Sullivan turned Vince Lofink into a Democrat.
