He's baaaaaaack. Thayrone, aka Terry Hughes, the uninhibited host of the "Bone Conduction Music Show" who was fired April 2 by WEMU-FM (89.1 FM) in Ypsilanti, has been picked up by Kool 107 (WQKL-FM, 107.1) in Ann Arbor, a Clear Channel station.

"Ironically, a station owned by the largest radio chain in the United States is giving Hughes what he couldn't get from a Public Radio station: complete creative control. " ---
Sounds like it was a "blessing in diguise", an act which boomeranged on the liberals, they were trying to shut him up and made him more famous.

The libs at TaxPayerRadio still win because they have kept their antiBush rhetoric untainted with defense of the administration.

And Maureen Dowd's next hit piece will feature this quote:
"It was Public Radio that tried to shut the show down, control it and homo... it," Hughes charged.
This, of course, will result in countless San Franciscan gay rights activists calling for his firing. The NYT will later state that Ms. Dowd was only "distilling" Hughes' remarks and that they stand by her column.
Weirder things have happened...and I suspect they were just the warm-up.

"TaxPayerRadio"

It's time to stop taxpayer funding.
To: FairOpinion
I agree. We should have stopped that a long time ago. There are too many things we are paying for that most don't even know about.
O'Reilly did a piece the other night about how the Taxpayers of California are paying for the defense of child killer David Westerfield!
