This is Taft's second term. He's not allowed
to run again (term limits). I expect that the fight
over Governor to come down to Jim Petro and
Ken Blackwell. Petro's more moderate, but is
in the same mold as Taft. Blackwell's more
conservative, but may be too much of a lightning
rod for the last election. Ken has also fought
with the senior party leadership over the tax
increases the past couple of years.

Should be an interesting primary.

Jerry's rehabbing his image so he can run for governor.

True story: at the end of the riots in 2001, a bunch of
protestors showed up at City Hall to basically raise hell
during a council session. While they were protesting,
one of them spotted Jerry Springer, who happened to
be visiting an old friend of his who was on City Council
at the time. After a "hey, it's Jerry Springer!", the protestors
dropped their protests to go get Jerry's autograph. The
protest was forgotten. This was caught by news cameras,
and aired that night.

Methinks Jerry has a long way to go to rehab his image
to avoid a political opponent using that against him.

Clear Channel rolls out more liberal talk radio
Wed Jan 19, 2005 07:01 PM ET
By Sue Zeidler
LOS ANGELES, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Clear Channel Communications

Inc.
(CCU.N: Quote, Profile, Research) on Wednesday said it

converted
three
stations to a liberal talk format and this year could double

to 44
the
number of stations carrying such programming.

After offering mostly conservative-leaning talk for the past

decade,
Clear Channel and other broadcasters are now embracing

"progressive"
talk to woo a listener base that is growing increasingly

fragmented
due to satellite, Internet radio and devices like iPods.

The nation's biggest radio operator said it switched

underperforming
stations in Washington, D.C., Detroit and Cincinnati carrying
nostalgic or sports programming with talkers like Jerry

Springer,
Ed
Schultz, Lionel, Phil Hendrie, Randi Rhodes and Al Franken.

Clear Channel has over 1,200 stations, with 175 focused on

news or
talk.

"The election cycle last year gave rise to dissenting voices,

which
gave rise to a new format in talk radio. When the public says

it
wants
more of this, we provide it," said Gabe Hobbs, vice president

of
programming for news/talk/sports for Clear Channel Radio.

"Prior to 1988, talk radio was very liberal, but then Rush

Limbaugh
was an overnight sensation and the genre of talk radio became

somewhat
conservative," he said, noting that progressive talk is one of

the
fastest growing formats in radio.

In other efforts to reinvent itself, Clear Channel is cutting

down
on
commercials and is converting 1,000 stations to

high-definition
digital broadcasting in the next three years.

HD radio will enable radio broadcasts to achieve "near-CD"

quality
and
allow two or even three digital audio streams to be broadcast

using a
single carrier frequency.

Hobbs said HD Radio will encourage the development of more

formats.
"We can get into even more niche types of formats, like home

fixing,
real estate, health and whatever the imagination can conjure

up,"
he
said.

Clear Channel is the biggest affiliate of Air America, the

nation's
first liberal talk show network that launched in March 2004

only
to
nearly collapse five months later.

Venture capitalist Sheldon Drobny sold Air America in November

2003
and took it over again in May 2004 with other investors.

Air America is now in 44 markets. Drobny describes its success

as
a
by-product of radio's consolidation with the

Telecommunications
Act of
1996, which lifted ownership limits.

"At first the Telecom Act made it difficult to enter the

market
but
now we're seeing the other side. They're (big radio companies)

taking
underperforming stations and giving them to us. We're saving a

lot
of
dead stations," Drobny told Reuters.






I would have easily taken him over our present governor, "My last

name
is Taft, and so vote for me, even though I'm really not worth a

damn, my
great grandfather (I think) was President a long time ago" . The

name is
the only thing going for the guy, so Jerry already has him beat.. on
pure entertainment value alone..

Did Teddy say that right before he broke from the
Republican Party to run as the Bull Moose
candidate in 1912, thus splitting the progressive
vote and getting Woodrow Wilson elected??

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or

we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only

unpatriotic
and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American Public."
-- Teddy Roosevelt

How does it feel to be a traitor?

That post sounded more hateful than I intended, which I apologize for. I
have little tolerance for the ignorant, whatever clothing they are
adorned in. Faith can be a good thing, but it does not entitle one to be
stupid, to hold uninformed ideas that fly in the face of reason simply
because one sees faith to be more important than reason. Faith and
reason both have their place. One should realize that they are not the
same, one is not superior to the other. Reason should not be thrown out
the window because one's faith is held to be more important. "Creation
Science" does this, it holds that faith is a science more important than
the science of facts and figures, even when facts and figures
convincingly disprove faith's myths. Everybody has myths, but to believe
in them blindly, without any input from external sources, is what many
people of faith in America do, and that is simply wrong.

RD,
..
"Faith can be a good thing, but it does not entitle one to be stupid,"
R - So now you are saying the a 'person' of "Faith" is Stupid !
..
"to hold uninformed ideas"
R - So to have Faith is to be 'uninformed'
..
"simply because one sees faith to be more important than reason."
R - Think-About-It : To a "Person-of-Faith" :
- Faith is more important than what you would call science,
reason and logic.
- For 'them' "It IS a Matter of Faith [.]
- For They Have Faith and They Believe !
..
"Faith and reason both have their place."
R - To a "Person-of-Faith" : Faith "Abides in Their Heart".
..
"One should realize that they are not the same,
one is not superior to the other."
R - That is True and to many People-of-Faith:
- They TRUST In Their Faith.
- They lean not on any man made understanding;
so called 'science', 'reason' and 'logic'.
- They BELIEVE in a Higher Power to Guide Them :
For They HAVE Faith [.]
..
"Reason should not be thrown out the window because
one's faith is held to be more important."
R - What's important is IMPORTANT
- To a Person-of-Faith : Their Faith is Important to Them [.]
..
""Creation Science" does this, it holds that faith is a
science more important than the science of facts and
figures, even when facts and figures convincingly disprove
faith's myths."
R - So now you come forward with your true feelings.
That to 'you' Having Faith is Believing in Myths.
- And your science, reason and logic have no place for Myths.
- Oh Yee of 'little' (no / none) Faith !
..
"Everybody has myths, but to believe in them blindly,
without any input from external sources, is what many
people of faith in America do,"
R - So in your Judgement many People-of-Faith are
Blinded to Reality and Do Not See the World as It IS.
- Just 'think' for a moment . . . Could they see the World
in a Universal Way with an Expanded Vision that is Far
Greater then what your science, reason and logic allows
you to undestand. Consider the Possibility ! Have Faith !
..
"and that is simply wrong."
R - And WHO ARE YOU TO SAY WHAT IS
.. . . wrong, Wrong. WRONG !
WHEN IT COMES TO A MATTER OF FAITH ?
- WHERE IS YOUR FAITH ?
- DO YOU HAVE FAITH ?
- DO YOU BELIEVE ?
..
faith - it is something to think about and believe ~ RHF

Male impersonator and troll.


I wrote Criswell and one of the officials wrote me back.

Slaughter is, apparently, a total fraud and has serious
psychological problems which her/his/its proctologist has
been unable to cure.
