Eric Conn: still selling the sizzle from behind bars
Thieving lawyer Eric Conn, who siphoned at least $550 million dollars from the U.S. Social Security Administration, has been recaptured in Honduras and is now jailed in Grayson County, Kentucky. Conn conspired with a judge, a physical therapist and a co-worker to bilk American taxpayers through fraudulent social security claims for back backs, mental disorders, and a myriad of ways. Conn would bill legal fees and pay bribes to his co-conspirators. This is the worst attempt at a screenplay I have ever read. Eric C. conn is the opposite of Robin Hood. He is an embarrassment to Kentucky and especially EKY. https://t.co/Nc8SPzdQAY— Eddie Compton (@EddieCompton) January 10, 2018 Now that he's locked up, he wants all of us
Larry & Terry: just shooting the breeze
Bisig Impact Group co-owner Larry Bisig invited me to his advertising/marketing company for a chat on camera. Cool. We talked about my radio history, growing up with discipline, the last days of Ron Clay, my evolving tolerance, how to interview big ego people, dealing with violent students, and drunk college buddies trying to ruin my job. Good talk, L Man. Thanks for having me.
WAVERING STANDARDS: If it’s in the dick-tionary, it must be OK (or is it spelled okay)
When I asked Courier Journal management about scrubbing a 2014 parody of John Calipari from its website, I was told that the image didn't meet the newspaper's "standards." This piece ran last week in the standards conscious Courier. This week the Cussin' Courier throws feces at its readers - wiping it from the headline - but dropping it into the report on UK Coach John Calipari's scatalogical jab. Read the thread below for background on the Courier Journal defense of apologizing to Coach Calipari and removing an image from its web site. Salty Joe Gerth, a UK fan, says the September 2014 image is still available. The subject of MY tweet was in response to Tim Sullivan's CJ column shining light on Tom
John Yarmuth: they pulled me back in
Rep. John Yarmuth (KY-3) announced that he will run for reelection this fall. Yarmuth first earned the seat in 2006 and had considered stepping aside at the end of this term. The Louisville Democrat joined me on WHAS Radio to talk about his vision moving forward with a Republican controlled congress, his irritation with President Donald Trump, why he thinks the new tax reform law is a scam, and the United States on the world stage.
Matt Jones notes his 8 year ride started in my WHAS studio
I appreciate the kindness and integrity of Matt Jones, founder of Kentucky Sports Radio. The first time I heard him on the air, I thought to myself, "There's my replacement." Matt took a group of smart, funny writers with shrewd youthful observations and launched a compelling, constantly updated University of Kentucky athletics fan site. Kentucky Sports Radio is a daily beacon of all things Big Blue Nation. The statewide radio show is hilariously provocative and informative. There's a terrific podcast. Matt's Lexington television show HEY KENTUCKY gets strong reviews. I'm happy for Matt, Ryan Lemond, Shannon the Dude, Drew Franklin, Mrs. Tyler Thompson, Turkey Hunter, and the entire crew. They've made Kentucky media sit up and notice, and they
