101.1 FM WRIF - From June 2005 - Donut shop Terrorism with Stevensblows and Lamarblows. It was a sad championship series, the Red Wings ended up losing four straight to the Devils. The guys still had fun however messing with the fine people of New Jersey.
Brothers say goodbye before one leaves for service…
A few months later, the brother says goodbye for the final time…
Thank you to all the men and women who have scarified their lives in defense of our country. And thank you to their families, your loss will never be forgotten. We cry with you on this memorial day.
Senator Hillary Clinton keeps waiting for Senator Barack Obama to slip up and make a mistake. His mistake, her supporters say will open the door for super-delegates to jump to her ship. However she has made a huge blunder today linking Senator Robert Kennedy’s assassination in 1968 as a reason to keep fighting for the democratic nomination for president.
Kennedy was running for President in 1968 when his assassination ended his campaign. So what in the world was Hillary trying to say? She is staying in the race in case someone kills Senator Obama?
She tried to play off the comment by saying the Kennedy’s have been on her mind a lot with all the health problems concerning Ted Kennedy, but Time magazine is reporting she said the same thing in March!
TIME: Can you envision a point at which–if the race stays this close–Democratic Party elders would step in and say, “This is now hurting the party and whoever will be the nominee in the fall”?
CLINTON: No, I really can’t. I think people have short memories. Primary contests used to last a lot longer. We all remember the great tragedy of Bobby Kennedy being assassinated in June in L.A. My husband didn’t wrap up the nomination in 1992 until June. Having a primary contest go through June is nothing particularly unusual. [link]
If she had any hopes of being Obama’s running mate, she can start changing her plans now, because she destroyed any chance of that today.

I love peeking behind computer screens, at users desktops. One of my favorite blogs, Rob’s Megaphone posted a picture of his browser window and we learn he’s a Windows user! Oh the horror!
I was passed along a possble promo sheet Drew and Mr. Skin may be floating around to different radio stations. It says they will be on WJR in July! I’ve called WJR and the guy I talked to there had no idea about it. Stay tuned, I’ll update as I know…
Update June 25, 2008 - I have called every station on the supposed ”promo sheet.”They all flat out denies it. And a two of the program directors from the “committed” stations did not even know Drew Lane. Add this to the fact Drew said he was building a new radio studio in his home (in Detroit), it’s clear that this is fake.
In the last year of his life, we are introduced to Lester Burnham, a sarcastic and cynical husband and father. As he lives out the American dream, he feels empty inside. His teenage daughter Jane hates him while his all to perfect wife Carolyn despises him. Day after day he goes through his mundane existence without alteration.
One night Lester is forced to go to his daughter’s high school basketball game, where she is a cheerleader. Once there Lester develops a major crush on Jane’s friend Angela.Even fantasying about her during the game. When he is finally introduced to her after the game, Lester is a stuttering, flirting mess which mortifies his daughter, while Angela enjoys the attention.
It’s at this point in the movie that Lester changes from a man who doesn’t really care about anything to a man who cares, but just doesn’t care what anyone thinks.
The movie makes you second think everything that is important in your life. What sense of worth do you really have for people and everyone around you. How often do we step back and look at all the small things in life that you would otherwise ignore.
American beauty may go down as one of the greatest movies ever. It’s brilliance is not in acting alone, even as the acting shines, but it’s in the artistic way the story is told. Filled with splendid writing, this movie delivers a knock out punch that few viewer see coming!Like a junior high art teacher, director Allen Ball manages to show us that beauty can be found, in so many simple things, even a plastic bad floating on the sidewalk! I couldn’t recommend this movie enough!Four our of four stars!
Senator John McCain went on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart and announced his choice for Vice President:
He has wisely chosen, Dwight Schrute from Scranton, Pennsylvania. Dwight answered Senator McCain in a letter read on the tonight show with Jay Leno:
My fellow American and select Canadians,
My name is Dwight K. Schrute. Recently it was brought to my attention that a Presidential candidate has selected me as his vice President or as I prefer to call it, “Assistant President of the United States.”
I was not surpised by this information, because I am the only suitable choice. As for Mr. Jonathan McCain, I will accept your offer old man, but before I do, certian terms must be agreed upon.
1) I may pilot Air Force One whenever I want. And while doing so I only to be addressed as “ice Man.”
2) Effective immediately: Jack Bauer is promoted to Secretary of Defense.
3) I demand full government financing of research programs into Beet as an alternative energy source. Beet juice is cheaper then gasoline and better tasting.
4) My bunker must contain a foosball table and be zombie proof.
5) Secret Service members are to be armed with nun-chucks, throwing stars and flame throwers.
6) I would like a flame thrower.
7) I would like an Iron Man outfit.
8 ) My current employer, Michal Scott has asked to be ambassador to Hawaii, or governor of Florida, or King of Tahattii, whatever.
All of the above items are negotiable (except the flame thrower - basically, if you get me a flame thrower, I’m on board). In conclusion, I will display completely loyalty to my president and America, at three am when the phone rings in the White House, I won’t even hear it, I’m a very sound sleeper.
The Vatican’s chief astronomer says that believing in the existence of extra terrestrials does not contradict faith in God.Father Jose Gabriel Funes, says that the vastness of the universe means it is possible there could be other forms of life outside Earth, even intelligent ones.
In an interview published Tuesday by Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano, Funes says that such a notion “doesn’t contradict our faith” because aliens would still be God’s creatures.
The interview was headlined: “The extraterrestrial is my brother.” Funes said that ruling out the existence of aliens would be like “putting limits” on God’s creative freedom.
In his speech in Indianapolis, Senator Obama acts hardcore like he told Detroit off. When you look at the actual video, he did nothing off the sort. Granted, he didn’t get a roaring applause, but it wasn’t quiet! It was substantial enough not to sync with what he said in Indiana (not to mention the standing ovation at the end!)
“Loyalty to any one sports team is pretty hard to justify. Because the players are always changing, the team can move to another city, you’re actually rooting for the clothes when you get right down to it. You know what I mean, you are standing and cheering and yelling for your clothes to beat the clothes from another city. Fans will be so in love with a player but if he goes to another team, they boo him. This is the same human being in a different shirt, they hate him now. Boo! Different shirt! Boo!” - Jerry Seinfeld, The Label Maker
This little routine by Jerry Seinfeld has always stood out in my mind. It’s true because for my whole life I’ve been a fan of the Detroit Tigers. It doesn’t matter who wears the Old English D, if the player is a Tiger I root for them. Kenny Rogers was not a popular player when he was on the Texas Rangers. Most thought negatively when his name was mentioned, however when he game to the Tigers, he instantly became a hero to the city, (especially after his magical post season in 2006).
It also brings up the question, is it okay to boo your players or team? If your loyalty belongs to the team and not the player, is it okay to boo an individual athlete when they screw up? I think so, because they are disgracing the uniform of your team. Jason Grilli comes to mind; a horrible player, I knew for sure he would give up a lead whenever the brought him in to pitch, so when the fans booed him, he got what he deserved. I personally never boo (except extreme cases), because I always have an optimistic view the team can pull out of whatever funk they are in.
My Tigers Resume
I got a nasty comment sometime back about how I was fake johnny-come-lately Detroit Tigers fan. He asked me to post where I was in 2003 (the year we lost 119 games). He also wanted to know my Tigers Resume, whatever that means. I’ve never thought about putting a “tigers resume” together, but I’ll bite on his stupid comment and give you my resume.
I have been a Tigers fan since as long I could remember. Baseball has always been the sport of my heart and the Tigers have always been very personal to me. I’ve been a season ticket holder many times over, including 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2003. I was one of the first fans ever to enter the gates of Comerica Park, we got there on opening day ay 7am and were the first in line!

On Friday, the Mega Millions jackpot will be over $100,000.00. Now because I can see the future, it would not be appropriate for me to play the winning numbers. But here they are, which you may use:
