Schedule is not available yet...

[steelyourfaith]

Thanx Vision. I couldn’t find a schedule either. I trust they haven’t discontinued the schedule with the change to the newly designed web-page format.

[Vision]

Hey. No they’re still using them. I’m hoping it’s an oversight and not an indication that the channel is running a 9/11 memorial.

[WXRGina]

Hello, Friends!

Well, Vision, I just got instantly thick-throated and misty-eyed when I saw your .gif graphic of Old Glory at half-staff. No matter how we may bury the thoughts of 9-11, the pain still remains just below the surface.

I shared a few thoughts on 9-11 in Thursday’s radio blog: http://www.dakotavoice.com/2011/09/hijacking-the-memory-of-9-11/

[WXRGina]

I just read WAMU’s lineup for today. They’ve run special 9-11 programming all day, but the Big Broadcast is still listed to air as usual.

Wow. Hi.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

I’ve been thinking about Paul Krugman and people like him. Evidently they need to become actual victims of a terror attack, themselves, to wake up and make sense.

[WXRGina]

I did see Krugman’s idiot piece and was glad to see Newsbusters gave him a royal smackdown: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/matthew-sheffield/2011/09/11/paul-krugman-sociopath

There is no London anymore. The jackals have taken it over.

Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar
7/17/60 "The Back to The Back Matter" Bob Bailey, Virginia Gregg (stewardess), Jean Tatum (Fletcher Agency secretary), Frank Gerstle (Ed Barringer), James McCallion (Conroy), Herb Vigran (Lt. Randy Singer), Jack Edwards (William "Bill" Spade), Forrest Lewis (Bellevue-Stratford clerk) ; Writer/ Producer/Director - Jack Johnstone ; Announcer - John Wald ; Originates in Hollywood ; Expense Account Total = $25.80 ; Ed Barringer, Continental Insurance and Trust, Hartford, asks Johnny to go to NYC, to investigate the claim of client Lucien R. Fletcher, founder of the Fletcher Ad Agency, that his partner William "Bill" Spade is going to kill him in order to take over the company. Johnny calls the 18th Precinct and talks to Conroy because Randy Singer is out. By the time Johnny gets to Fletcher's apartment on the ninth floor of 614 E. 52nd Street, Singer is there and Fletcher is dead as a doornail from a very accurate shot to the heart with a .22 that missed the heavy steel stays of Fletcher's sacro-lumbar support. Partner Bill Spade shows up at Fletcher's apartment and flashes an airline ticket that claims he was in Philadelphia at the time of the shooting. Neither Johnny nor Randy say that Fletcher is dead. Johnny checks on Spade's alibi. The Fletcher Agency secretary is positive that she received a call from Spade from the noisy airport. Johnny then found that Spade made sure that he attracted a lot of attention to himself both to the stewardess on the plane flight back to NYC, and to the clerk at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia. However, Johnny believes he may have made a quick trip from Philly to NYC and back after he supposedly retired for the night. Johnny talks to Spade, and suggests that Fletcher is still alive as the bullet would have been stopped by the corset. Spade breaks down and confesses

I did hear we’re ending with a Suspense...excellent!

Harry Morgan, I miss him.

Growing up a latchkey kid Col Potter was like a grandfather to me. Colonel Sherman Tecumseh Potter. Love the writer who came up with that.

[Calvin Locke]

Harry Morgan, I miss him.

He's still alive, afaik. He's a popular pick, for the obvious reason, in a drive time radio show death pool.

[trisham]

He’s 96, God bless him.

[Vision]

Wow, wish he was still working. The movies he did with Jimmy Stewart are priceless to me.
