19. I will be screaming it on

May 2014

the radio tomorrow morning. It's open mic Friday on the local yokel, wanna be a Hannity, morning hick station, here where I live. I tried a couple of weeks ago about the Bakken oil not lowering prices. I said gas is heading for 4 bucks a gallon this summer and these two wingers immediately started to spin. "WHERE ARE YOU CALLING FROM CALIFORNIA" gas is only $3.21 at Costco on the west end. I said that isn't what I said. So they just kept spinning until time was up. But I will pose the question. "If your radio program is so fair and balanced, why haven't you mentioned the fact that on Feb 27, 2014 the Republicans blocked 24 billion dollars funding for the VA"?? "And while I am at it, why no mention of the Republicans blocking funding for more embassy security"?? Both recommended by the Obama administration. Then they will say well we haven't heard that one, but we will look into it. Then my time will be up. But I will at least be able to open some eyes and ears. Plus I wish I would have jabbed them about Costco being UNION.
