We were late on the big KIRO story Monday because were tending to a loved one who's hospitalized after a surgery, and we must hang the hospital this week. Thanks to everyone who wrote with the scoop. Our attention will be elsewhere, so we'll be blogging late, or maybe not at all some days.
Take a few days off, Bla'M..we will hold down the fort for ya.

Having just been in the hospital for a while and still recovering I can relate to your concern. I wish your loved one a full and speedy recovery. Indeed the Sparky & Joanie Show can handle it. :)

A salute to all my fellow veterans!
I recently had the pleasure of attending a veterans program put on by one of my grandkids' class. It was true Americana...very refreshing and touching to see 3rd, 4th and 5th graders so apparently attuned to this day.

Sparky and I are up to the task...:)
You and your wta take care, Michael. Our thoughts are with you.

Take care of you and her, Michael. Give me a call this week.
Duffy:
Amen. Milk programs in the schools is important - true Americana and refreshing as you say. Thank you for protecting us against all those evil soy-drinkers. The blood/milk you spilt for this country will not go unrecognized!

The supremely annoying Obama koolaider Dave Ross claimed today that the North Carolina teacher who browbeat the repub student and praised Obama kids in her classroom was taken out of context and unfairly judged becasueo f a youtube clip of her in action. I was ready to hear that it was all an exercise forthe kids in showing how a teacher could go out of line and show bias or aomehring like that. Nothing of the case. It seemed all Ross had to prove his point was that the student's dumbass parents supported the teacher,which means only that they are dumbasses. the people who are outraged are the correctly thinking people. Ross presented nothing to refute the fact supporte3d by the clip, that this teacher is way out of line. No larger context that could excuse he remarks. nothing. Pretty weak Dave. Ross is getting just more and more annoying.

How's the weather down there, Dave, with your nose firmly planted beneath Obama' ass. Get off the air. open a Prius dealership on Mercer Island. Let a new man sit on your studio chair

Today's big Seattle talk radio news was buried in plain sight in The Seattle Times's sports section. The other shoe has dropped on Eastlake:

"KIRO-AM (710) will become an all sports-talk radio station on April 1, according to multiple sources."

Any of you guys been reading about Al Franken stealing the election? It sounds all too familiar to what we had 4 years ago, finding lost ballots in cars, corrections made to ballot totals that affect the senate race only & don't affect any other races voted on. Isn't there someone who oversees this shit or is every jurisdiction just on their own like the old west=?

It seemed obvious that houses were over valued in 2006 but nobody in the media except for a few people like this guy said anything out loud. This was like a colossal pump'n'dump and everyone holding stock or realestate deceptively assured home buyers that houses that cost $200k three years really are worth $300k now, for realzeez.
Those deceived home buyers took out equity loans they can no longer afford as a result. Basicly all rich people lied to all poor people in perfect unison.

Just what Seattle needs, another sports talk station.
Brian Maloney, is that you, whining about Al? Just think, if he wins, you get to fill your website with more stupid ass pictures. Don't complain.
