Vince Flynn passed? NO! Brilliant thriller author. We need to get together and see what books the other has soon Bill, in his honor. He was so young too!

"Does the 90.3 site still cut out the audio?" That did finally get fixed but it took about 2 years. It's been so long I don't recall what the problem finally turned out to be. With KWAX hash on 90.7, 90.3 is the better of the two, covering much more population.

Law and order won't solve the problem. Deporting all illegals will not only ruin our economy, it tears families apart. That's why I'm surprised no one has embrassed my idea of allowing the illegals to become permanent residents in exchange for amnesty, providing they pass background checks, etc. Resident aliens pay taxes, are eligible for benefits, but can't vote AND face deportation if they are convicted of a felony. If there is a path to citizenship, I'm okay with that once they have 5-10 years under their belt as a resident alien and meet certain conditions. Conservatives need to face the fact that immigration is KEY to our economic growth over time. Without population growth, there is no economic growth. I say this as someone who has a wife who was formerly a resident alien who is now a Citizen, who's Mum is still a resident alien. Lucky for my wife she's white and speaks perfect English.

"KWAX analog & HD seem in very tight sync right now" Yes, Indeed! I haven't heard KZEL HD in a while, as I have semi-locals on 96.3 and 95.9 so the 96.1 IBOC sidebands are covered up... except when tropo is really good.

Deane, I heard Obama is going to halt the sales of Metimucil to blue hairs. Sucks to be you! And, not only that, he's gonna put a special tax on lame early 2000's models of Cadilacs, only if they are owned by people in red (dumb) states.

KWAX analog & HD seem in very tight sync right now. The only local HD station that never gets its HD & analog time-aligned is, well, the one that's not affiliated with public radio. ;-) Speaking of KZEL I got a confirmation they have a processor issue making them sound bad. They're working on it.

Andrew on "IRS targeting linked to Republican staffer"

This came out a couple of weeks ago about the staffer who identified himself as a "conservative Republican." Cummings has been threatening to release the full transcripts unless Issa did so as promised. Cummings got tired of waiting around. But don't let that stop Republican conspiracy fans who want to milk this fake scandal for all it is worth.

There were a lot of fans of him and his show. 51 is too early to die of a heart attack. But I know it happens, way too often. As someone who was overweight for a number of years in my 40's, I understand how important healthy eating is now in my 50's. A very good actor, and a good reminder how important health is.

Rep. Elijah Cummings made good on his threat to release the full transcripts of IRS agents from the House Oversight Committee. Rep.Darrell Issa had been selectively leaking portions in order to make Obama look guilty. <blockquote>WASHINGTON — A self-described conservative Republican who is a manager in the Internal Revenue Service office that targeted Tea Party groups, told investigators that he, not the White House, set the review in motion, the top Democrat on the House watchdog committee said Sunday. Rep. Elijah Cummings (D., Md.) released a partial transcript of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform interview with the unnamed manager in the IRS’ Cincinnati office. In the transcript, the manager said he and an underling set aside “Tea Party” and “patriot” groups that had applied for tax-exempt status because the organizations appeared to pose a new precedent that could affect future IRS filings. The employee said the extra scrutiny for Tea Party groups’ tax-exempt status was an effort to be consistent in reviewing applications and not driven by politics. “He is a conservative Republican working for the IRS. I think this interview and these statements go a long way toward showing that the White House was not involved in this,” Mr. Cummings said. “Based upon everything I’ve seen, the case is solved. And if it were me, I would wrap this case up and move on, to be frank with you,” Mr. Cummings said. In the five-hour interview last week, the manager said one of his employees brought to him a Tea Party group’s application for tax- exempt status. The manager said he recognized the political implications of the decision and flagged it for an office in Washington. Some Republicans have suggested the Washington office initiated the scrutiny. Republicans have complained the IRS targeted Tea Party groups because they are critical of Democrats and President Obama. An internal IRS report found the agency improperly targeted the small-government advocates for additional scrutiny. The uproar forced out the acting IRS chief and put the White House on the defensive against those who suggested Mr. Obama was using the government to go after political enemies. Sunday’s release of yet another partial transcript was unlikely to quiet those critics. “The American public wants to know why targeting occurred and who was involved,” oversight panel chairman Rep. Darrell Issa (R., Calif.) said in a statement released by his office Sunday. “The testimony excerpts Ranking Member Cummings revealed today did not provide anything enlightening or contradict other witness accounts. The only thing Ranking Member Cummings left clear in his comments today is that if it were up to him, the investigation would be closed.” Mr. Issa vowed to press ahead with the investigation.

The perception of the U.S. government is getting more like that of Nazi Germany, Communist Russia, North Korea and the like every day. Fear of our government has begun to have it's chilling effect on news gathering. <a href="http://www.france24.com/en/20130619-us-seizure-journalist-records-called-chilling" rel="nofollow">http://www.france24.com/en/20130619-us-seizure-journalist-records-called-chilling</a> I find it hard to believe that even you radical leftists want that sort of country. Or, perhaps if you pretend it isn't happening, maybe it won't be.
