It's -7 out right now. What's it like in your area, and who's complaining?
Edited on Fri Feb-02-07 07:03 AM by HypnoToad
KQRS wealthy shock jock Tom Bernard was really on a roll this morning. This "man", who claims liberals are whiners and babies and everything else, is sooooooo upset because he and his family of 4 have a 3 car garage. "So guess who has to park outside?", he bleats?

What a fuckin' baby. One would think his hot head would melt the ice in a radius of 5 miles...

Minnesotans, listen to (92.5 FM) for a week during 5:30 and 9 and listen to this dolt. He'll parrot talking points, but doesn't have the brains to put the dots together. (he's for offshoring, but he also wonders who more people aren't going back for schooling or why crime has skyrocketed.) He's just another Libertarian piece of garbage who just cannot be bothered to think, apart from the spoon-fed simpleton certainties and all the show's sponsors purportedly aimed at the middle class such as Lexus...

Hey Tom, if it's too cold for you, we all know your love of the Iraq war and how we need more troops than ever. Why not enlist and do the country a favor?

:rant:

1. Enlisting is for 'little people'.
Central NH weather is positively balmy - 17F.

2. He's too old and sedentary to enlist.
I can't stand Tommy B, but that should be no big surprise!

It's 13 degrees here, and yes, I'm complaining! My thick Minnesota blood has thinned, and I've become a winter wimp!

3. I'm complaining too, but Tommy "How old is he?" B makes a living of it.
I'm a winter wimp too, but it's still fun to complain about him. :D

4. He's got to be at least a hundred.
Or well into his 50s, I suppose.

Anyone unfamiliar with this creep can read about him here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Barnard


By the way, Hypno - in the above article it mentions Brian Zepp as the morning show soundbite man. Brian Zepp is the guy who got my job when I was fired from my first radio station (the owner was quoted as saying "women shouldn't be doing news"), AND he used news **I** had written to garner praise from the station owner his first day at the news mic.

Creeps. All of them.

6. Enlisting is for "them".

Could you imagine if everyone ( able bodied) who supported the War in Iraq
enlisted, went over there and saw what a friggin hell hole Bushie has created?

And, they saw first hand what was REALLY going on there?

We'd have those troops home by the end of the month.

Weather in SoCal-

At 7:26 AM it's 38 degrees and clear skies.

No rain in sight.

:(

10. Bernard tried to crash my wedding but we wouldn't let him in.
It was in Alexandria, on the lake and he and his crew were up for a weekend booze-fest. He thought I should feel honored to have him grace us with his presence. My brothers, having no idea who he was, gave him the bum's rush. :thumbsup:

Minus 7 here too...heading down to minus 25 tomorrow night.
