NEW STUFF DAILY!
FRIDAY!!!!!
FOX News says if you are trying to be the new leader of the free world you best engage and debate, even if you are worried about those who are paying your way into the White House pulling their money.
John Edwards, listen up.
CBS and Katie sitting in a tree....fill in the rest.
The NEWEST first mate on the sinking ship actually thinks
sinking wreck can be turned around and headed for the out island. Plleeeeeesssssee
Dan(that horse won't hunt no matter how many memos we fabricate) Rather
blew a how in CBS news bigger than a pumpkin ball hitting a grilled cheese sandwich.
Even the holy bible of the let coast (The New York Times) hints in their softball
love banquet for Katie that
careers are now on the line in the CBS news division.
(We skipped Wednesday, staff was at Prayer Meeting)
THURSDAY
With all the talk about WATE being for sale and the hiring of a "reported" GM/StaffExecutioner the parent company, Young has put
some dollars in their hip pocket 4th quarter.CBS news thinks they have found a way to contain the stink coming from their news studio. A former CNN dude is coming over with a case of Glade and a helping hand for
Katie,
good luck!An
old WOKI favorite has left a Florida radio station after 17 years on
the job.

WATE has a new
boss!The first word out of the home office was they were going to run Knoxville's first TV
station from Nashville, and it still looks like the new GM will do double duty with 6 and her other station. The move went right along with the whispers that Young was trying to sell their stations and move 6 into the black.
The buzzzz this morning is about how FAST the suits moved to get a new Top Dawg in Jan's chair. Some say the fix was in before Wade had her U Haul loaded, who knows?
The February book was not very kind to the local news department at 6, but none of the moles are saying if the new leader came with marching orders for news or not? GOOD TUESDAY MORNING KIDS!
Under the heading RADIO GONE WILD a morning show in Austin, Texas may have stepped
deeper into it than the time THE GREASE MAN gave his now famous thought on how to get six days off after Martin Luther King Day. These two boys
in Austin used the "D" WORD when talking about about a democrat's thoughts on Hilla's new thorn, oBOMBER.

NEW STUFF ALL WEEK!
MONDAY
Local TV ratings are out and CHANNEL 10 says: The February 2007 Nielsen rating sweep concluded with WBIR-TV delivering the #1 news and most of the top 40 programs in the Knoxville DMA. WBIR-TV also delivers 23 of the top 40 shows in first two weeks of Feb’07 sweeps.
National TV ratings are rocking some worlds!
NBC is still the puppy to beat but it sure is getting
easier!
THE TODAY SHOW is cracking but their cracks are nothing like the ones
forming under their Nightly News.
The CBS investment is going south faster than you can say..put another filter on Katie I can still see the lines in her eyes. Yep, the left wing voice and potential answer to the Dan (AS LONG AS IT NAILS BUSH WHO CARES IF IT IS TRUE OR NOT) Rather problem is not having a celebration over
today's numbers.
HILLA tries to be SOUTHERN, you have to
HEAR IT to believe it!
John Edwards
replies to Ann using the French word for Butt Boy to describe the candidate.
We want to get BEHIND our troops, but Dutch citizens want to get some
BEHIND for theirs!
SUNDAY
Because you get so sick of the blog being a one trick pony we are going to be adding fun things every dang day of the dang week. Most will be linked so you can read the rest of the story at your leisure, and naturally more than a few will have a right wing tilt just to jack with the left!.
Biggest media SNAFU had to be Jeff Jarnigan’s woops at the UT/Florida game. Lofton was shooting a foul shot and Jeff shot off his MOUTH causing a miss. No kidding… me and 24,000 of my best friends were all watching him shoot (sure would have been nice if Jeff had been) and heard the chatter that caused Lofton to miss the shot. SOME moles inside the bunker at B97 were whispering that Jarnigan was having his calls screened rather heavily the first of the week. Bless his heart, if Pearl was really pissed he wouldn’t call he would just drop by and kick him off the side of Sharps Ridge. Upside is UT home games and Jarnigan have many months to recover, downside is Pearl knocking on Jarnigan’s door with an 8 iron in his hand!
More than a few
local TV blogs are running polls asking for your vote on your favorite weather person. Last one I saw had
Julya Johnson WAY out front with Opie coming in second. Sorry but none of the tribe today can hold a pointer (yea they used to use them back in the days when Margie did the 11 after singing with Big Jim Hess at the Bimbo Inn lounge) to my man Johnny Mountain. He had more fun doing the weather than Cas Walker did when someone handed him by mistake one of those big flash cards that said KOTEX. Another story for another day. Julya has come along way but for my money you can’t beat the gal on WVLT. I have yet to really listen when she does the weather but by golly the dogs and I never miss her doing it!
Fun stuff starting with Sunday (we will up dang date daily)
Ann Coulter had the BEST
come back to those who were mad at her accusing
Edwards of being a butt monkey! When she said she would never insult Gay Folks by saying Edwards was a memeber of their tribe!
Bill Maher may have stepped on his incredibly short pal on HBO when he said lives could be saved
if the VP of the United states had been killed.
Gallup poll says most of the left wingers think Al Gore couldn’t win if he got in the race. I personally want Al in the thing so we can kick his donkey again and get his
movie moved out of the documentary category and on to the contrived fiction shelf. Come on Al engage!
Latest rage at the Blind School,
musical condoms! I used to like
sunroofs.Give
a fool a gun and the fun just happens.
More as the week rolls along keep dem posts a coming and a big Blount County Thank You for sending the blog on to others!
Also if you are bored don’t forget to check out the other blogs in the FAV area just above Denver’s head, some are fun, some scary, all are worth the click!
