Its not change when you drop precipitously in ratings, it's a disaster.

Something better. Radio mime perhaps.

KPIX? KQED, KGO radio? If you are referring to protracted federal litigation, our case involving Tittle VII and a kansas city t.v. station was actually remarkably quick. To try a federal case, not just once, but twice in front of different juries in different cities, proceed up to the 8th circuit, all the briefings, oral arguments etc. and then on to a writ at the SCUS in six years is incredibly swift, not protracted.<br /> As for my offer to the cowardly 5:52, who claimed that no one believed my account of a humble thanksgiving here, because it was soooo obviously a lie, I up the offer to $2,000 for charity. How can you prove the matter? Easy, tell me who you are and you can come out here and see that I live on acreage , with horses, with a home radio studio, and with neighbors. You can talk to the neighbors about our fun celebrations with everyone donating food items for a collective meal. It will all be right there in front of you. You can even eat some of my cooking. It'll be fun, really and when you discover that I made it all up , you'll have $2,000 to give to the charity of your choice, your expenses covered of course.

I filled in for my friend, Karel on his syndicated show last week. I can't imagine why you'd think I wouldn't be going online. I have a radio studio in my home, next to the horses, dogs, acreage and great neighbors. Why does this get your tummy turning? <br /> We celebrate big holidays with funky contributory feasts. This is fun because you don't have to go out and become a CHP statistic. You can drink with abandon, not threateing anyone on the roadway. I guess that's boring to you? This year we were thrilled that the 38 year old dad in our group had survived a very intricate surgery to remove at C-2,C-3 neural tumor, two months ago!<br /> I swim every day. For some odd reason, you can't bear that I live like this. Why is that? jWhen my law firm colleague and myself were struck by an 85 yr. old confused driver who came up on a sidewalk three years ago, our injuries were quite serious.
