Al Roney Gets the Boot at WGY

Though we normally focus on national politics, I feel compelled to write a piece on this. Al Roney, who has held the 9am-12pm slot at WGY for years, is getting replaced by Glenn Beck. The news has been sudden, and conflicting commercials on WGY say that Beck is starting either today or Monday.

Now, I don't know why Roney is being fired all of a sudden. Maybe his ratings were poor, maybe GY wants to go in another direction, maybe Mr. Roney did something bad. I do not know. However, something I do know is that I have been listening to Al Roney's show for years and I have never been disappointed. Not only was it a good show, it was by far the best local radio show.

I do remember that Glenn Beck was in the 9am-11:35am slot before Al Roney (at 11:35 they put on Paul Harvey for twenty minutes). It could be that WGY misses the days of Beck. If this goes through, and it appears it will, maybe Mr. Roney could get a later timeslot.

So, from all of us here at Jumping in Pools, we'll miss you Al.

Toomey? Randall Toomey?

Anyone following the news lately knows that Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania recently decided to switch parties due to a strong challenge from the former head of the Club for Growth, Pat Toomey.

Now you would think that that is the story. However, seeing the name "Toomey" bandied about reminded me of Randall Toomey, one of Herb Sewell's cellmates.

Do we want one of Randall Toomey's relatives becoming Senator from Pennsylvania? Well, read part of Herb's "About Me":

I recently was parolled from the Atascadero Hospital for the Criminally Insane, where I was incarcerated for various unmentionable crimes. My confinement by the state of California was a wonderful experience; it gave me the opportunity to meet two men whose minds are more twisted than mine: Walter Bellhaven and Randall Toomey. It was also within the walls of Atascadero where I learned to control the creature. The Creature still talks to me but now I manifest its power through my very important sociological studies and writings. Now that I am again living with the public, surrounded by temptation, I must control the creature!

Goodness!

Listen to Phil Hendrie

Phil Hendrie's one of the neatest radio talk show hosts in the country. He has a sharp sense of humor and seems to enjoy offending his audience in order to make them laugh. He's not crude like a lot of them (Skippy and Frank), but he's intelligent and able to talk intellectually.

Check out his site at www.philhendrieshow.com and try and hunt down some of his bits off the internet. It's comedy gold and you'll be happy you did. Phil Hendrie was even in Team America: World Police. He was the Chechen terrorist and INTELLIGENCE. He also played a role in the NBC show Teachers.

You can also find streaming audio of his site every night (or audio archives if you need them). So look, and get laughing.
