Hi,
Just a note to thank everyone that came to my 2nd Annual Summer Art Studio Sale. I so enjoy talking with everyone and not just about my artwork but about your interests in art and your travels etc.
I'm always glad when my paintings find happy homes as well. If you didn't get a chance to come Saturday don't let that stop you from calling me and coming to have a cup of coffee or tea with me in the studio.
Contrary to belief I really don't bite.
Thank you to everyone that took the time to come and to those of you that purchased paintings I hope they bring you joy.
Maeona

Come on Bill, no one said that there was a war going on between you and Marty from the local Fox News affiliate KOHI. If Marty wants a real call in show where anyone can call in and discuss any topic they want, then Marty needs to learn a few simple points. It is normal for a talk show host to have their own opinion, which is great; a discussion between two people with opposite views is called a debate. A good debate enriches the listeners to new information, may get the listeners involved in the debate, and brings awareness to any given issue. When Marty acts like he did to you he loses, the listeners lose and people simply turn to another station. You mention that a corporate radio station would not provide the community with public service as Marty does I agree with you on that point, I like the local radio station, hell I like Marty too. Even though I disagree with Marty's Republican views I support his right to voice his opinions and I would defend his right to be heard. I would hope Marty would do the same.

Looks like the CONServatives are at it again! America is going to hell in a hand basket thanks to the failed CONServative movement and all they want to do is destroy The Constitution of The United States of America! Instead of trying to work with the democrats to get jobs going again for the people or re-regulate those who have taken advantage of the RepubliCONS deregulation of everything that has put our very democracy at risk, they are attacking some one who wants to build a community center in New York with an Islamic worship center in it. Have they all gone nucking futs? The pilgrims came to America to get away from the very religious persecution that the RepubliCONS and a few ill advise democrats are now trying to pull on American Muslims. They wrap themselves in an American flag and decree the greatness of our founding fathers while at the same time they seek the destruction of the constitution. Isn't it odd how they only agree with the constitution when it suits their own political needs? They care more about unbridled power than they do about our country. To hell with anything that helps America, especially if it makes the President look like he is helping the American people. Sad, the RepubliCONS are just plain sad. WHY DO THEY HATE AMERICA? Can anyone answer that question?

From Mike 8/14/10  Subject: Dr. Laura
Now she is a piece of work
The so called Dr. Laura dispenses morality when she her self was bonking her to be second husband while married.

In my opinion she is nothing more than a quack.

She preys on folks mostly women who don't have a clue
and adrift in the sea of uncertainty.
No ,she is trying to do damage control (boo hooing)
about using the "N" word on her show.
You cant unring that bell. it went out over the air waves.
Like the good little conservative with out a conscience
she is doing damage control and
the crocodile tears are flowing,
question IS will she be fired? I doubt it
she rakes in too much money for the stations.
right wing stations I might add..
so they again want it both ways...
She has run the string out as about as far as she can.
Time for Dr Laura to go
