Hatorri , you don't have enough intelligence in your little finger to say anything about Mike having a high school diploma. You could live to be 100 years old and never come close to how much more intelligent Mike is than you.
You probably have a PhD.(Pathetically hopeless dimwit )
Steve probably has a PhD too.(Professional hamburger Dispenser ).

KXYL's "unfair and unbalanced" talking head duo of Mike Cope and James Ray Williams in a "4-foot hover" ? Who'd be surprised ?
Labbe: An editor's 'Try again' doesn't mean 'no.'
BY J.R. LABBE
jrlabbe@star-telegram.com
Conservative talking heads and e-mail chatter were ablaze Tuesday after the Drudge Report posted a piece Monday that claimed The New York Times rejected a guest column from Sen. John McCain because it did not "mirror" one published a week earlier by Sen. Barack Obama.
It’s the best thing to happen to the McCain campaign this week. He needed the boost. Obama’s tour to Afghanistan, the Middle East and Europe with major TV anchors in tow had relegated McCain to B-roll of him riding in a golf cart with Papa Bush and sitting at a Yankees game with Rudy Giuliani.
Nothing can jump-start a Republican’s campaign faster than a perceived slight by the big bad liberal media.
"Bias!" cried Republicans, who are in a 4-foot hover over the fact that the Times’ opinion page editor, David Shipley, served as a special assistant and speechwriter to President Clinton from 1995 to 1997.

Thank Heavens for J.R. Labbe of the Fort Worth Star Telegram! Without him, Steve would have no way to express an opinion on this topic, nothing to cut and paste. His witty, "What he said!" remarks would be completely ineffective without someone else's words to parrot. Steve, You must find it terribly frustrating when you find a topic you wish to propagandize or agitate over, but no one has written an article for you to appropriate yet.
Too bad Steve can't seem to cogitate an original thought or string a couple of sentences together in his own words. Perhaps I expect too much from a "Professional Hamburger Dispenser."

Hattori, my whole life is not posted on the KXYL website. Just for clarification, I attended West Texas State University on a full art scholarship when I was married to my first wife. We moved closer to our families after a couple of semesters and transferred to Tarleton State, where I changed majors and won a presidential merit scholarship in addition to working my way through school. I am a member of Alpha Chi, which is the college honor society that is only open to the top 10% of university students. I was president of Phi Alpha Theta, the history honor society. I held a 4.0 GPA until my senior year when it dropped to a 3.85. I was named in the 1991 edition of "Who's Who In American Colleges And Universities". I also attended East Texas State University for a few semesters when I was married to my second wife. I am a semester away from a Bachelor's degree in history with a double minor in art and English. I'm also a published scientific illustrator, journalist and technical writer. Those accomplishments don't list other professional and management classes I've completed in the course of a lifetime.
Despite your snobbery, I would match brain-pans with you any day, in any arena-- whatever your educational pedigree. Some of the most idiotic people I've ever met have held PhDs, and that goes for my opinion of Michael Savage.
However, the point of my comments about Michael Savage, which were obviously over your head, was that despite the fact that I disagree with his inflammatory remarks and consider him an idiot, I think the First Amendment guarantees his right to his opinion no matter how ignorant or ill-informed I think it is. If he can find advertisers who will buy spots on his show and a radio station willing to carry him, more power to him.

Did you learn that kind of ASSuming at the Colleges you listed on your post # 2074 ? Oh well, how are we going to work with folks (see KXYL's Mike Cope and his sidekick James Ray Williams) who appear to have divorced themselves from reality and ASSume a great deal ?
Carry on Misleading Mike !

It’s anomalous how you being president of Phi Alpha Theta, the history honor society,
Can’t encomium the vast historical knowledge & implementation of Michael Savage’s
Historical parallels with current world affairs on his radio show. Maybe you should post all your acquirements on the KXYL Website for some prominence.
(Then you wouldn’t have to ratchet down your 30 somewhat year experience down to 3 years, or was that a typo?)
All you show is High School Diploma & I don’t have a conundrum with a High School
Diploma, after all that is what Rush Limbaugh has & his acumen is meritorious.
It might be best for you to stick to National Hot-Dog Annual Celebrations.
That way nobody can call you an idiot.

Wow! You busted out with about half a dozen five dollar words in this post! Feeling a little intimidated? How long did you have to spend with Webster's Unabridged to come up with "anomalous" "encomium" and "conundrum," about three hours? It is good to see that the Reader's Digest "Increase Your Word Power" is working for somebody.
I won't go in to the incongruity (you can look that one up later,)of you whining about me "bashing" Mexicans or Canadians or whoever, when you are evidently a big fan of Michael Savage, graduate of the Josef Mengele School of Eugenics and the most vitriolic racist on radio.(Just ask your pal Steve.) While I would love to debate whether or not such fandom is evidence that you are schizophrenic, or merely a huge hypocrite, I'll stick to your questions about my education and experience.
You seem doubtful of my education. Unlike Steve, you don't need to file Freedom of Information request to vet my claims. I'll be happy to bring my transcripts to the office along with the certificates from the honor societies I belong to. Why don't you drop by to see them? I would love to meet you face to face. Shall I tell the receptionist to be on the look out for the blue Mighty Morphin' Power Ranger, or will you be trick-or-treating as yourself for a change?
As to my radio experience... I'm sorry to disappoint you but it was a simple typo, not some sort of conspiracy of the Illuminati, that had me listed with 38 years of experience.(I would have had to go to work at 5 years old!) Actually, three years isn't really accurate either. I've worked here for a little over three years under the Watts regime, continuing into the Tackett era. I also worked at another radio station for a couple of years in high school, so my actual radio experience is closer to five years. That however, is such a minor issue that only a moron would get hung up on it. And we all know you aren't a moron, right? I think it even says so on your deploma [sic].
Just for grins, here is a "spiffy" link:
http://www.nmnaturalhistory.org/sci_dinodawn....
That goes to a publication called "Dawn Of The Age Of Dinosaurs In The American Southwest." The articles in the Paleontology section by Murry, P.A.(Dr. Philip A Murry) include a number of my pen and ink illustrations of vertebrate micro-fossils.

Hagel: There are ways to deal with' a president who says 'I don't care'
Ron Brynaert
Published: Sunday March 25, 2007
Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who is considering running for president in 2008, stopped just short of threatening impeachment against President George Bush on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos on Sunday morning.
Hagel has been a vocal critic of the war in Iraq and recently referenced impeachment in an interview published in April's edition of Esquire Magazine, telling Charles P. Pierce, "The president says,'I don't care.' He's not accountable anymore. He's not accountable anymore, which isn't totally true. You can impeach him, and before this is over, you might see calls for his impeachment. I don't know. It depends how this goes."
Hagel disagrees that "right now we're actually seeing the increase in forces actually start to deliver some results in Baghdad," as the White House has argued.
"No, I don't see that," Hagel told Stephanopoulos. "In fact, there are more incidents, not less. Sure, in parts of Baghdad, in overall Baghdad, over the last two or three weeks, we have seen some fewer, but not around the country. Look at what happened two days ago, one of the two vice presidents of Iraq was attacked there at his own compound and is lying mortally wounded in a hospital."
Hagel added, "No, it isn't getting any less dangerous, and the fact is that was predictable, the more American troops you flood into a zone, sure, you're going to see some immediate effect of that but that has nothing to do with the long-term or lasting effect. This solution in Iraq is not going to come by continuing to put more and more Americans in there because we're bogging ourselves down. We are further eroding our credibility and stature in the Middle East. It's going to make it more and more difficult for us to get out because we are going to have to get out."
Hagel mentioned that the Inspector General testified before Congress this week, and "reminded all of us that we have now spent almost a half a trillion dollars in Iraq," and "have put at least 40 billion in economic development there,[w]hich we don't know what we got out of it."
"There's still no oil law," Hagel added. "Billions of dollars have been ripped off, unaccounted for, and one more point on this -- over $12 billion of Iraqi money still sits in the accounts of the Iraqi government that they haven't spent. So something has to give here, George."
Hagel then expanded upon his "impeachment" comments in the Esquire interview.
"Well, any president who says 'I don't care' or 'I will not respond to what the people of this country are saying about Iraq or anything else' or 'I don't care what the Congress does, I am going to proceed,' if a president really believes that, then there are, what I was pointing out, there are ways to deal with that," Hagel said.
Hagel added, "This is not a monarchy."

Note: I'd love for the morning Wendlee Broadcasting talking heads to give Chuck Hagel 30 minutes of airtime like they did Brownwood Mafia Putter Jarvis on this mornings show. I wonder if his (Hagel) interview would be interrupted two times by emergency broadcasts as Putter's was ? Question for KXYL: How many soldiers who had boots on the ground in Iraq have you interviewed that are speaking out against the war ? None ? Why is that ? I'd thank Brownwood Talk Radio (as Putter Jarvis did) if they were better stewards of the Brownwood airwaves by having some balance with opposing guest interviews !

Accept no misleading from KXYL and their hosts ! Think of it as being Patriotic ! Speaking of Patriotism, have you seen these very Patriotic performances linked below ? I think of these folks as I recall hearing a frequent KXYL caller say "I can't wait for California to fall off into the ocean" ! Good job KXYL's Mike Cope of misleading and inspiring such calls ! Seems to be a pattern of Brownwood's "unfair and unbalanced" locally transmitted political talk radio !

" Still not supporting the troops. Still.
How can this still be? After all the years of sloganeering by Bush, Cheney, McCain and the others who led this country into a war, our troops still aren't being supported. The wounded soldiers are not getting the care they deserve. It's beyond shocking. The NY Times editorializes: "

"Tell the receptionist to be on the look out for the Blue Mighty Morphin' Power Ranger" That soooooo hilarious! The only thing missing is the sound of him saying "OUCH!" when he read that! LOL But from what I can tell, there are a few, not many, but a few people who are wasting some of their very precious mental abilities on such a trite and unproductive thread. So what will happen after the "Big One" hits in 2012? Will all the participants on here resort to scrawling their bleets, blurts, and blogs with charred sticks onto rocks and lob them at each other? Will there EVER be any progress or benefit from participating on here? It seems its obvious. NO! Better start learning how hunt for food. There won't be anyone handing sandwiches out.
