Summer is Here!!!

Although the weather has not been normal, and there have been a lot of cool days, Summer has started and I'm taking full advantage of it.

Memorial Day weekend Missy and I headed to the lake to meet my parents at the cabin they rented at the State Park. We stayed there Saturday and Sunday nights. Here are some pictures of the time we spent with them...And watching the race at Neal's house.

Thank God for Places Like Roanoke

It's not that I hate LA. It's just that the city is a little too much for me. To fast, and fake, and perfect at the same time. The weather is great...Sunny and 70 to 75 all the time. But the people are jerks.

It's not the NY kind of jerk, where nobody really cares what happens..But they tell you to F off anyway. In LA it's like the people think they're above you.

I had a good time covering American Idol. Here are some of the pictures from the trip. The first ones are from the plane...Then the Detroit Airport with it's colored lights tunnel. Then some from LA and American Idol. Enjoy.

Plane Ride...

I Paid Money to Post This

Three bucks too be exact. Now I'm watching the countdown in the lower left of the screen. You know what three bucks got me?

5:16 minutes and counting...

not much. Especially since I'll be home later today. I'm so sick of LA right now. and I have a 4 hour layover in Detroit.

4:07 minutes and counting...

Tomorrow is Friday and I'm going to smith mountain lake for the whole weekend. Before I go I'll put up some of this weeks pictures.

3:11 Minutes and counting...

See ya later!!

Los Angeles...And More

I'm heading to LA tomorrow morning. Sorry I haven't had any stuff for the site recently...I've been pretty busy.

Tell all of your friends in the news media that I'll do interviews with them from The American Idol Finals as long as they give a plug to the K92 Mornin' Thang.

Next weekend we're all heading to the lake again for a couple of parties. My parents rented a house on the lake so I think I'll be there most of the weekend.

that's all for now. If I have a computer in LA I'll try to post some stuff from there. If not, check back on Friday after I sleep off the jet lag.

City of Angels...Idol Style

I'm going to LA to cover the finale of American Idol next week and I need your help. If you know someone in LA that can help me get the scoop on AI or anyone who knows any famous person in LA that could do and interview with me about the show...Please E-mail me. I'm competing with a listener to see who can get the best coverage.

What Did I Tell You?

I said yesterday that even if Newsweek retracts it's story about the Koran being flushed down the toilet, the Muslims would not believe it. Today the magazine did just that...And the Pakistanis did just what I thought they would...

This is a quote from Qazi Hussain Ahmed, the head of a six-party Islamic alliance in Pakistan

"Whatever the magazine has done now is under pressure (from the U.S. government),"

Good job Newsweek.

By the way...The writer of the story tried to resign, but Newsweek wouldn't let him. The magazine says it stands behind Michael Isikoff 100%.

I don't think standing behind a writer...100% is a great move when the story he wrote was 100% wrong.

Newspapers and other media have the power to cause change. It's great when that change is beneficial. When money is given to a charity because of an article about a disease, or when food, clothes, and money are sent to southeast Asia after a tsunami. But that change can also be bad if an error in reporting causes death.

That was the case in a recent Newsweek Magazine article. The article sited a "military source" who said soldiers with the U.S. Military desecrated the Koran to get information out of the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. It now turns out that the information the magazine reported was wrong.


This is not just an honest mistake. The magazine went to two military sources who had no comment on the allegations. But the editors let it slip anyway resulting in at least 16 deaths. Afghan Muslims even threatened to call holy war on the U.S., all because of the article.


Now Newsweek has admitted the mistake, but it's well past too late for that. It's too late to take back 16 lives that have been lost. And there's no way Newsweek admitting it was wrong is going to help our relations with Afghanistan or any other country over there because they all think we lie. I'm sure they think the military forced Newsweek to change it's story.

If you get Newsweek Magazine at your house...Cancel the subscription. I want to see that piece of crap go out of business for killing people. And I want to see the writers and editors and anyone else who touched this story to be tried for treason.

Lake Me Up...Before You Go-Go

The Summer Starter Party didn't include too many people but it was a blast anyway. We went to Pebble Beach first, then went for lunch....But the real fun happened after the Captain, Missy, and I met up with some other friends. We headed down to a small secluded cove and swam until the thunderstorm hit...Then we went back to the friend's dock and ate pizza and watched the race right on the water. Here are some pictures...Click on them for the larger version.

That Time of Year

I've been waiting for it for months now...And the time has finally come. Tomorrow is the Summer Starter Party at Smith Mountain Lake.

Last year the parties were huge. Lots of boats, beer, women, sun, and water. This year we want to make it even better.

The Captain from The Barge Inn is dropping anchor at Pebble Beach in the late morning tomorrow and that means we're leaving Roanoke right around 10AM. There's still space on the ship and all you have to do is e-mail me...Or head on over to BargeInn.Net for more details. If you're worried about missing the night race at Richmond...Stop! We'll have it on the captains on-board TV...Or the radio.

If you need something to get you in the mood for some fun in the sun...Here it is.




And remember...As the captain says, if you see this...


...You're too late.

Fake-N-Bake

I had a remote on Sunday at one of our wonderful local tanning salons. The people there offered me a free week of tanning and at first I said no.

Let me just give you a little background into the relationship between me and the Sun. We don't get along too well. I can stay in the Sun for a grand total of twenty minutes and even a week later I'll be piling on the aloe.

After thinking about it for the entire remote (a whole two hours) I went back in and agreed, with the condition that If I get burned, I will say bad things about the salon on the radio. (I would never actually do that)


This is not a picture of me
They put me in for three minutes.

I don't know if you've ever been in a tanning bed but because of the horrible things I have heard about them I felt like I had been treated to a free lifetime supply of skin cancer. The lights turned on and I freaked out thinking I was already Shirley Temple red after just seconds. It turned out the first dose gave me no more than a huge headache and a fast heart beat. (which scared me even more)

With no color in my skin yet I figured I'd take advantage of the free week and yesterday I went back. I asked them to raise my time to five minutes. It wasn't so scary in the bed this time and the results were great at first...I walked away with pretty much the darkest tan I've ever had. (which isn't saying much)

As I slept last night my skin must have decided it didn't like it's new color and I went back to recycled paper. Today would be the third day of tanning if I didn't decide the whole thing was crazy. Why lie in a tanning bed when you can just enjoy the great outdoors and get a nice tan. Plus you won't end up looking like John Kerry at a presidential debate.

Brand New Pics of the Week

The Captain over at BARGEINN.NET has some new pictures up. He went to the lake this past weekend. The Summer Starter Party is this upcoming weekend. Check out The Barge Inn for more details.

Something Other Than Idol

When the majority of the US votes you into office as the President, that means most people agree with what you're doing. That doesn't seem clear to Hillary Clinton who said Saturday that President Bush and his "radical" administration would cause "irreparable harm" to the country.

So if most people agree with what the President says over what Democrats say, Hillary is calling most of the united states radical. Nice. Lets vote for her as the next president. (note the sarcasm in my writing)

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton blasts President Bush and his "radical" administration on Saturday for attempting to dismantle the "central pillars of progress in our country during the 20th century."

Clinton makes the comments to Saturday editions of the HOUSTON CHRONICLE, sources tell DRUDGE.

The former first lady says she has become convinced the Republican administration wants "to undo the New Deal," the Roosevelt-era policies that ushered in Social Security and a host of other governmental assistance programs.

She said that Bush, who campaigned as a "compassionate conservative" in 2000, had taken a "hard-right turn to pursue an extremist agenda" after moving into the White House.

"I don't know where it came from, but the fact is that this President Bush has not only been radical and extreme in terms of Democratic presidents but in terms of Republican presidents, including his own father," she says.

She believes Bush is beatable next year because his administration is "making America less free, fair, strong, smart than it deserves to be in a dangerous world."

"We have to change direction before irreparable harm is done," she adds.

"This administration is in danger of being the first in American history to leave our nation worse off than when they found it."

Looking into my magic crystal ball...it looks like more problems for the dems.

I am Freaking Out!

We interviewed Mikalah Gordon from American Idol after the show today. It was a great interview and will probably be aired tomorrow morning. At the end of the interview I gave her my cell phone number and told her to call me, and just minutes ago I got that call.


I am such a loser when it comes to people that have been on TV. And my favorite person on this year's American Idol is Mikalah Gordon. We've talked to several people on the show that I would term famous...But I've never had a personal call from any of them.

I refuse to disclose the topic of conversation. (until tomorrow on the K92 Mornin' Thang)

Gossip...Oh How I Love It

...And I'm not the only one. As people, we are prone to talk about other people. What would we have to talk about if we weren't talking about a runaway bride, or and American Idol contestant being convicted of a crime, or the President doing something stupid?

I got this comment on a post about Bo Bice getting drug charges...

"don't you people have anything better to do than judge someone else. We have ALL made mistakes in life. I know I have, and the last thing I want is someone to judge me on them. How bout you? Making mistakes is how a person learns. So take a good look in the mirror, and ask yourself if you are in any position to judge someone else. I mean really. Give me a break!!!!"

"While we are at it, why don't we all take the time to defecate on Paula Abdul's hit and run charge, because it is obvious to me that none of us have better things to do with our time, but to sit around and judge like we are God's. Or maybe the rest of you people are just "perfect." Damn, what I wouldn't give to be you"

No. We don't have anything better to do with our time because that's what people do. Do you think every waking hour of your day is spent doing something better than talking about other people? And while we're at it...I'm sure you make comments every day about someone you work with or go to school with that are in the same realm.

This is the pot calling the kettle black...Who then calls the pot black again.

WARNING!!!

Beware of the crazy eyes. There are people on this earth that are insane and you can only tell by looking at their eyes. If you come across a set of crazy eyes do not look directly into them. Simply look at the face and the eyes will stand out.

Here is an example of crazy eyes to assist you in the search.


As you can see these eyes are extremely crazy. If you notice a pair of crazy eyes please call police immediately.

Here is that same set of eyes on a human face. As you can see everything appears normal, but looking at the eyes you can tell something is a little off.

(Do not look too long at the eyes. This may prove damaging to your health.)
