WNIR

If you know me very well at all, you know I am completely addicted to talk radio. It started when I was in college and I would listen to this local radio station called WNIR. Basically, all day long they have different hosts and they talk about a variety of local topics (live and local). People call in and the host talks to them on the air. In the afternoon they have this self proclaimed "Conservative Democrat" named Howie Chizek as the host. I used to listen to him and he would make me so angry. For some reason I kept on listening. Before long I was listening to other programs on the station. I get ALL my news and local information from WNIR. I LOVE it. I have grown to love Howie. I think I grew up and now I totally agree with almost everything he says. The truth is, he is ALWAYS right. Last December Joe Finan, a long time host, retired and they replaced him with Bob Golic, former Cleveland Browns player. He is great. Everyone loves Golic. The morning crew (Stan, Steve, Maggie & Jim) are very funny. Bob Golic says they take any topic to the lowest common denominator. That is pretty much true but you know potty humor is hysterical. They used to have a show in the evening called "The Dating Show". People would call in and try to get a date. One time I went to this local costume shop (for a costume -duh) and all these freakish guys kept looking at me and trying to talk to me. I was wondering what was going on....then I hear the host of "The Dating Show". They were having a remote. I got out of there immediately.

With all that said...since I listen to the station pretty much all day long, I recognize the regular callers. Yes, I know I am a big dork. Either way...some pretty weird people call WNIR. I never called for fear of being one of the weirdos. The morning show always has contests and great prizes but I don't dare call. They do have an emailer of the day prize. Yesterday I was listening and thought...I know I can win. So I sent Stan an email. I told Jake I was going to be on the radio. He didn't believe me. But, as soon as the commercial was over, Stan says "I just recieved a very funny email from Delilah". Of course the rest of the gang all repeated my name and then one of them sang that delilah song from that radio lady. (Like I have never heard that before ha ha). Either way...I won. I crossed over. I am one of them.

Evidently, Park Ford wants to suck on the government tit.

It was recently reported that Ohio will receive a $190,000,000 grant from the Federal government to tear down condemned homes and crack houses in poor communities across the state which desperately need a hand up to help them recover from years of red ink, neglect and deindustrialization. This Federal grant will help those poor Ohio communities by reducing the health and safety risks associated with condemned homes, improving the appearance of those communities riddled with blight and making long abandoned properties more appealing to potential buyers. In other words, that money will help to clean up our state.

In response to this report, Park Ford's commercially sponsored talk radio goon publicly called for that money to be given instead to privately owned companies like Park Ford so they can expand their privately owned business.

Are you kidding me? That's what profits are for. That's what RIDICULOUS auto service charges are for. The owners of Park Ford are filthy rich already. If they want to expand their business and get even richer, they should do so by spending their OWN MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR PROFITS. NOT BY SUCKING ON THE GOVERNMENT TIT.

Park Ford's talk radio goon is calling for the worst kind of socialism. The kind which helps the rich get richer while the poor get poorer. Meanwhile, the poor communities of Ohio riddled with blight and crime will get NOTHING. That is EXACTLY what Park Ford's HIRED TALK RADIO GOON is calling for.

The same talk radio goon has also been calling for the Federal government to give handouts to the oil industry because gas prices and big oil profits are FINALLY down. What a sold-out pig.

The hell with Park Ford, the hell with ridiculous auto service charges, the hell with big oil greed, the hell with corporate welfare and THE HELL WITH TALK RADIO GOONS.

By the way, did I mention that the richest 1% of Americans already own 42% of America's total wealth? Yes, really.

The rich don't need anymore government handouts.
