Check this out:
Spring 2003 Arbitrends
In evenings, Michael Savage/Batchelor and Alexander on WABC is up to a 5 share (#4) overall and a 3.9 (#8) in 25-54. Compare that to WORs 1.6 overall and a .9 in 25-54 and you can understand why WOR is making changes. WABC must be thrilled to be getting these kinds of evening numbers, which, thus far are beating WCBS-AM with the Yankees. Who would have figured WABC would do BETTER without the Yankees!
They fired him anyway...It wasn't the money was it?
It was what then?
Bad taste?
NY afraid of Bad taste?

They are also reviving the challenge to the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy of the military.

Oops, didn't know the mic was on!

Savage just said on the radio he's going to have to live with the consequences of he said on MSNBC. He's going to tell what happened on his website tomorrow. He said he hopes we and God are with him, and he hopes he'll be back on the radio tomorrow. He apologizes to anyone he brought pain to.
I listen to his show once in a while, but I've never heard him be so regretful.
To: paulklenk
What, are you like the school "hall monitor" or something?
Why not one more appeal to "Jim"...you've already posted about two dozen.
To: All
just one other thing before i go.
at least mike went out getting a good shot in by lampooning some uncivilized, jerk caller.
WAY TO GO OUT IN STYLE MIKE SAVAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they would've cancelled him anyway.

Better by far to watch Barney tapes than wish death from AIDS on another human being.

He didn't sound
that regretful!
Stand your ground, Mike!

And if he had said, "I hope that asshole dies," we would be waking up each morning to President Gore.

So what did Savage do wrong?He pissed off his employer. If I piss off my employer he'll fire me too. That's the way it works.

Shun them. Just pretend they don't exist (They also lust for attention).
The flaming fag toungue kissing routine in front of the straights is one thing. Or other exhibitions for the straight folks. Leather outfits, drag queens, etc. Besides that, many queers are thrill seekers. Having unprotected sex, bare backing, or shoving this or that up "there". Doing it with multiple partners night after night. ASnd maybe keeping that from their "partner" or whoever.
Over the past few decades pushing the straight super majority into doing what they want is a real thrill for the queers. Especially the lawyers that work for the queer NGO's. It's a way for them to get a rush plus they can channel their self-loathing into geting the straighties to do their bidding.
Recently, the US Supreme Court gave the queers the same thing that makes the Hulk the Hulk. Now, when they get mad they can turn into something none of us can fight.

No, I actually am interested in whether Jim has a position on this, and whether he's willing to state it publicly. [And I only pinged him twice.]
To: OldFriend
Wish AIDS on someone! Yeah, right. Just like the ones who want to give and get AIDS so they can become 'martyrs?'

That being said, any fag who laid a hand on a child of mine would end up a worm feast and I would end up in jail.Agreed. Same goes for any hetero who laid a hand on a child of mine.

Sit on it first, and I will.
To: rockfish59
He's not regretful, his radio network, or the radio network's lawyers, or both, are
making him apologize.
What he's reading is a canned speech, obviously pre-written by someone.
And it's galling him...I can tell.

You capo bastard! LOL! =^)

OK, Fonzie!
