While Ronn ignores "the elephant in the room", we had a former KGO host on KSCO showing how to stand up for what he believes in by taking on both the station owner and his mother. BRAVO Ray Taliaferro! That is the kind of radio that would keep me from just playing my ITunes library all day!
It is obvious now that Ronn's remaining monthly salary is more than what he would NOW be able to get per annum.
@Anon.6:57am. You sound like you're one of those ignornat tea-baggers. FWIW, Dr.Bill was a bigger ass, treating his callers like dirt if they didn't agree with him, not too current or informed. Far from the smartest man in the world, which is a fricken joke. BUT, I'm not glad that that prick is gone. He had a loyal audinece, like Ray T did, and to be discarded after 30+ years like that, without any warning, is low class by this screwed up station.
Make up your mind "Ronn is a good man" or "Ronn is a rat bastard". Listen, this could be, will be, his final year on KGO. His contract is fat. He will lose that as his contract expires. If he was told to zip it...he's gonna zip it. It's easy for those with nothing to lose to say he's being a traitor, but he's actually still employed as are many others in that sad sad building. That's a joyless way to earn a living. Your loathing is better directed to the Cumulus stooges who are grinding this industry into dust.
The 'Tea Party' represents a significant, but certainly not a huge segment of an unhappy voting block that wants major change. The problem as I see it (and again, this is only my humble opinion) is that the Tea Party seems to want less government and less regulation than what we currently have.
I have a simple question: What caused much of this economic meltdown that we're currently experiencing? And for that matter, what caused radio companies to go out of business or be swallowed up by mega-companies that downsized stations, slashed staffs, and turned more than half of radio programming into syndicated programming (like Limbaugh Hannity, Savage, and ESPN?)
Ah yes...deregulation! Fewer checks and balances, less oversight...and guess what? One of the big reasons we're in the current mess we're in is due to the fact that the banking industry, and the broadcast industry (among others) were not under enough scrutiny. The government decided (laws were passed...regulation was softened) that major companies (which the supreme court has ruled now have the same rights as individual Americans) could police themselves just fine, thank you. But as we sadly discovered, that was like letting the fox loose in the chicken house!
It's too bad that just a few ruined it for the many, but that's how it goes in a free and liberal society where people are supposed to act responsibly and many of those in power do not.
What I can't understand about the Tea Party though, is that they decry government regulation, but then claim they are on the side of the middle class...the people who are getting screwed. Doesn't make much sense does it?
Then again, it wouldn't be the first time that many Americans voted for individuals who didn't have their best interests at heart
In the last 100 years there are plenty of examples of this in America....in the 'Roaring 1920s,' we elected presidents Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge, and Hubert Hoover...all of whom who helped lead the US deep into the worst economic depression in our history.
More recently Richard Nixon.. continued to prosecute a polarizing and pointless war in Vietnam for "four more years!" after promising "peace with Honor!" (Ask the 20,000 plus American families who had relatives killed during the last four years of the war, and the some 400,000 Vietnames that died from 1969-73 in that war if they felt Nixon tried to broker.."peace with honor.")
And then of course most recently, George W.Bush....and we don't have to chronicle the list of his follies because we all know of his abject failures.
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF...BUT THOSE WHO DON'T PAY ATTENTION ARE CONDEMNED TO MAKE THE SAME FOOLISH MISTAKES AGAIN AND AGAIN. AMERICANS DON'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO THEIR OWN HISTORY unless it seems to involve them or their families)
IS IT REALLY ANY MAJOR SURPRISE THAT WE CONTINUE TO FLOUNDER WELL INTO THE 21ST CENTURY? WE KEEP MAKING THE SAME STUPID, CHILDISH MISTAKES AGAIN AND AGAIN!
Can't wait!!! Thanks Rich for coming to Occcupy KGO Rally today to offer your thoughts and support.
ReplyDelete...Oh, I can't wait for this one...

Ray T is a prick, glad his ASS is gone. He wasn't nice or polite or current or informed. Just an ass, which he proved yesterday.

ReplyDeleteTea bagger, do you know what that term refers too? Real mature shot you took at me. Nice job having a discussion you can't win.

P.s. big fan of Dr. Bill, and the Tea Party!
