Attention, humans! We only have a few years left! Grownups have stolen Greta's childhood! Hysteria! Outrage! Move to higher ground for the end! Here's one of the gentle messages from a Louisville student who ditched classes to participate in the #ClimateStrike on September 20, 2019. Swedish activist Greta Thunberg sailed to New York to deliver harsh words to adults who've not heeded warnings about climate change. Greta fears that human life cannot be sustained on the earth beyond another decade. "You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words," climate activist Greta Thunberg tells the UN. "We are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth.

New York Times reveals Kentucky Derby winner failed a drug test just prior to the Run for the Roses
The New York Times racing writer Joe Drape shocked the horse racing universe with documentation proving that 2018 Triple Crown winner Justify failed a drug test after winning the Santa Anita Derby. That victory earned Justify enough points to qualify for the Kentucky Derby. Justify went on to win the Kentucky Derby but the Times story illustrates how the horse should have been disqualified from claiming the Santa Anita victory, thus opening a Derby slot for someone else's horse. Justify was found to have scopolamine in is system, a banned substance known to aid breathing and heart acceleration. Many in the California racing business are aware that scopolamine can get into hay through "environmental contamination." Trainer Bob Baffert was made aware of the
Louisville’s got that going for us, which is nice
A flood of Bill Murray sightings popped onto social media this week. The actor known as being the most chill celebrity in the world spends time in Louisville with his son Luke, a top recruiter and assistant coach for University of Louisville men's basketball. Luke and his wife Kara are expecting their second child soon. Murray loves visiting his son's family, even handing out Halloween candy at their home last October. This week, Louisville's head basketball coach Chris Mack hosted an old guy basketball camp complete with competition, film breakdown, celebrity guests like Bill Murray and Jay Bilas, and a championship game. Even though I wore a uniform, I played the role of general manager for some of my much younger colleagues like
WKQQ gave me a shot. Luckily it wasn’t in the face.
When I listen to my early air checks, I have no idea how I wound up making a living at radio/TV broadcasting for more than 40 years. Here's a sped up audio compilation from my first radio job in 1976. All I had to do was change tapes on an automated system. That was all well and good until they nudged me into doing a few station breaks. The accelerated audio actually improves my boring on air repartee. I would have flushed out of this business after the first year, but program director Dick Hungate saved my job into 1977 which gave me time to improve. Check the last paragraph of the memo posted below (with bad math, no less)! It's obvious that

Indiana senator is more than the “I’M MIKE BRAUN” ad blurt
Many parodied the 2018 radio commercials advertising U.S. Senate candidate Mike Braun, who went on to win after shouting I'M MIKE BRAUN in every ad. Today I had a wide-ranging conversation with Senator Mike Braun, elected last fall in Indiana over Democrat incumbent Joe Donnelly. The Jasper native walked me through his early struggles and eventual professional success selling truck parts like Chris Farley's character in the film Tommy Boy. Once we segued into political issues, Senator Braun was quite candid in our WHAS Radio interview. We talked about evolving attitudes in the usually untouchable area of gun rights. Braun is staunchly 2A but not blind to America's demands for extended background checks and red flag laws. Braun also claims that
