Politics

Who doesn't love Girl Scout Cookies?  It turns out homophobic right wing radio pastors don't.  Pastor Kevin Swanson accuses the Girl Scouts of everything from promoting a "gay and lesbian agenda" to supporting abortion.

Despite what you might think, I'm not super "up" on local politics. The only reasons I watch what's going on at all is to have stuff to poke fun at on the radio. Over the years I've watched Victor Hernandez embarrass the city, gum up the works and cost us much more than he should of in time, effort and money.

Kids, this is called "pandering" or 'sucking up to the home crowd'.   Instead of dealing with the real issues of the day, one of our councilmen is using the old political smoke and mirrors trick of putting an issue up front that nobody really can object to.

District One voters in Lubbock have one of the ultimate tools in democracy at their fingertips beginning today.  Early voting has started in the recall election for Victor Hernandez.  I am advocating that we send a strong message to Mr. Hernandez and to the council at large by voting him out.

Here's a sad fact-congress has a 5% approval rating, yet 90% of incumbents get re-elected. What? Why do we keep sending back the people who have lost touch with their voting base? With the recent (and ongoing) government shutdown, it's time we send a strong message that (cue the Twisted Sister) we're not going to take it anymore.

One of the frustrating things for me about 2013 America is that people no longer have the dignity to "call a spade a spade".  No matter what heinous thing any member of their political party does, they're not willing to admit that person was wrong (presumably because it would taint the integrity of the entire party).

Jeez, I can't believe I have to write another one of these.  When are you people going to quit passing around Facebook without checking your facts?  I guess these stories had some basis in fact, which I'll detail next, but, realllllllllllllllllllllly!

Yeah, pretty tough topic. Here's the deal.  They've confirmed that the leader of the country had chemical weapons used on his own people. Evidently sometime in history world leaders said "no fair" to their use.  Now everybody is looking to the U.S. to help, and I'm really starting to wonder "what's the point?"

Trust me, this isn't a Republican thing, this isn't a Democratic thing, this is a whiny baby thing.  NBC & CNN have a biography on Hillary Clinton planned.  That's about it.  I don't think it's really gone any further than people at the channel saying "hey let's do this".  Republican party leaders said "if you go along with that plan, you can't host our debates".  NBC &

I am very proud of the interviews we do on the RockShow. We've talked to everyone from movie stars to local charities.  Today we caught Mayor Glen Robertson in the hall and he was happy to drop by.

I know some of you like Fox News. I'm okay with it as long as you realize that there is a very clear agenda there. Their goal is to polarize and radicalize Americans towards conservative causes. If that's where your head is at, that's great. Here's a channel that serves it up non-stop.  Now at this point some of you are already on the defensive, but that's my point, you don't care about my politic

This happened recently in the Texas Senate. Debate and public comments over the house bill that will change abortion rules is full of sincere people on both sides who feel they have a right to be heard by their government. And they do have that right, until someone doesn't like what they're saying.
