ZEEK IS BACK

FLASH!!!
IF YOU ARE GOING TO THE UT GAME REMEMBER
THEY NOW HAVE CAMERAS ALL OVER THE PLACE!

HERE IS AN ANSWER TO ONE OF THE
CAMERA PROBLEMS!

ALSO IF YOU WANT TO FIGHT DO NOT
REPEAT DO NOT SWING IN THE STANDS!
CATCH THE SUCKER IN THE BATH ROOM,
THEN WEAR HIM OUT!





Zeek Riding, noted journalist and much sought after anchor replacement by MSNBC has surfaced from a single wide Clayton
Wobbly Box three miles south of Greenback near the head waters of Bat Creek. Ridings has been taxing his creative
genius to blend the white hot story of the race for the white house with the local media scene.

After a case of 40s Ridings had an epiphany of biblical proportions. Running to the crest of a near by ridge he managed to get a signal on his Cricket and call our new political editor, Chrystal Cream with the story. After a flurry of short hand notes and several broken 2 inch nails CC sent the story to the copy desk.

Zeek promises to be back in office Monday and thanks all of those who called into COPS about his whereabouts.


WHAT IF

By Zeek Ridings


What if we were to replace the four players in the race for the white house with four local media stars? Who would be who and more importantly who would WIN the key to the Monica Luv Rug room?

I (your humble reporter) Zeek Ridings can see the Republican ticket as Phil Williams ) as the presidential nominee and as the pick for the VP spot the last weather person
to get it right, Margie.

On the other side the only choice for the Presidential nominee would be News Talks own Hal Hill and for the second in command chair Ed (they gave me this shirt if I would wear it) Ruppper
.

Monday a profile of the candidates qualifications and expectations.


Style or the dream that never was is dieing a slow death. Rather than turning out the lights last week after the final show someone at 10 thought it would be great to look back at the best of Style. Viewers were amazed they found enough shows to fill a week, but they did! If you have yet to take a walk down memory lane Friday is your last shot. Come Monday ( as Jimmy B would say) Five moves to four and Style is no more! Say if you want to remember YOUR favorite Style show drop us a note and we sure will post it.

Radio 101, our favorite Knoxville radio blog is a year old and still churning out the memories that strike fear into the hearts of those who are still married. Earnest Baker famed all night talker on the old WETE and later the guy who wrote the news for those morning duds on WRJZ was featured. Because of the daily harpooning of Mr. Baker by the two (now out of work) louts on WRJZ the man became famous. Mr. B. told a story of standing in line at the old IGA in Ft. Sanders and watching a drunken student take way too long to find his eight quarters required to purchase a sixer of Old Milwaukee. The counter person chastised the young man, made fun of his intelligence and dropped the insults of all insults when he said, “You are dumber than Ernie BAKER!” Mr. B. said he quietly turned and as he exited the store he reportedly toppled an entire display of KOTEX into an open dairy case. Baker was one of the best.

CHECK THIS OUT!!
A kebabs cook-off featuring Russell Biven, co-host of WBIR, Channel 10's "Live at Five," and Neal Denton, University of Tennessee extension agent, will be 5 p.m. Thursday at New Harvest Farmers Market, 4775 New Harvest Lane.

Is it just staff or do you also think this election is bringing out more than the usual vitriolic rhetoric? Check out these notes from last week?

Is Style in re-runs this week? I thought they said their goodbyes this past Friday, the 5th.

Gonna miss that Glitterville. His Friday program was about cupcakes and there were so many double entrendes it was hilarious!

Sales of Depends adult diapers have hit an alltime high since Democrats started shitting in their pants over the Palin announcement. They're frantic in making up lies on an hourly basis to cover for their losing team.

Obama or Hot Mama? You decide.

Ed...As for the exit of Style
it is kind of like Sonny's X old lady
retiring from Show Biz. Boy how long does it take
for something like that to finally walk toward the light?

Anon 5:51,

What's it like to be first in line to kiss John McCain's ass? A doddering old man who needs a drool cup under his chin?

His choice of the church lady proves that he and his party will do absolutely ANYTHING to get elected, including the sell-out of his core values to pander to the Bible-thumping wackos and hypo-Christians.

I might have supported McCain before this.

No way now.

Ed....We are getting so MANY of these
hard core far left liberal commie posts
that I think it is a form note they pass
between e mail addresses. Question, what is
a Hypo-Christian? Does it have to do with what a
Baptist uses to shoot drugs? Sorry not sure what
you were talking about there, check your notes
and fire another one off to us.

There were so many closet Obama haters and now they are running around like freed slaves!

Today Obama called the VP a PIG!

He is crumbling under a WOMAN!
Can you fathom what he would have done across the table from any of the good friends of Jimmy Carter?

Ed....You wanta talk about crumbling under
a woman you should hear some of the old
John Boy stories when he did nights at
WRJZ! Friend they could bring a tear to a
glass eye!

What if a President Obama made a boo boo and said something offensive to the Russians or the Oil Cartel or the Chinese?

He needs to choose his words more carefully.

ummm...ummm...ummm...

Ed....Just why do you
think anything that comes out of that
guys mouth is HIS words? Bout the only
time we have seen him talk without notes
he sounds like Mel Tillis on speed!

With many thanks to Tom T. Hall.....


I was there on the day the monkey came into this world
His face was round and reddish and his hair was slightly curled
He didnt look too different from the others I had seen
Whod-a-thought he was the answer to the nations dream?

At first he didn't seem to be intelligent at all
Each time he'd start to walk about he'd stumble and he'd fall
My first impression was to be a most mistaken thought
Lord Amighty, what's this little hairy monkey wrought?

Because I witnessed his departure from his mother's womb
I felt inclined to check his progress every afternoon
One day the keeper of the zoo called in the live tv
Frankly said, I think you'll be amazed at what you see.

The monkey walked and talked and waved his arms about his head
In the corner was the stack of books that he had read
"An educated monkey!" said the papers cross the land
It was more than weary sociologists could stand

Oh, his fame was universal, he was on the Carson show
People talked about him kindly everywhere he'd go
His insight was amazing, his philosophy was fair
He became a politician welcome everywhere

His wit was not to be compared with any mind intact
He'd lace a phrase with irony and blend it all with fact
Conservatives applauded and the liberals were entranced
The bigots and the integrationists were in his camp

Nobody dared to meet him in an open press debate
He was nominated by the folks from every state
Yes, a monkey was the President, though maybe not the first
And there was peace and harmony throughout the universe

The dream I had last night has been related as it came
As for interpretation, well, its really very plain
Would you rather have a monkey up in Washington, D.C.
Or have those people making monkeys out of you and me?

I hope you smiled today. The political circus we're watching made think of this old song from years ago.

Ed...Did you know Tom wrote FOX ON THE RUN? Yep
the Ole Story Teller could flat put the Mont Blanc to
the paper when he wanted to!
