I don’t even know what to say about this.

I got the hugely stylish Stormy Kromer hat I occasionally sport on the news at the pop-up market by these people. And my very fancy Pierrepont Hicks ties. So go to this. Do it for your country.

Breezy pop and R&B station 96.3 Now will be reborn Sunday as adult Top 40 station K-TWIN, trading in Lady Gaga and Rihanna for Red Hot Chili Peppers and Bon Jovi and adding more of a news element.

The K-TWIN rollout will include the debut on Wednesday of a new morning show with KARE-11 TV personality Eric Perkins and veteran 96.3 personality Tony Fly, plus more reports on weather, sports and other news throughout the day.

- So am I the only TV guy without my own radio show? And when is someone going to give me a radio show? (via mediation)

Thank you, Al Halstead

What a delight to open a letter today calling me:

“fat” “gutless” “scum” “spineless loser” “total loser” “your as bald as a monkeys rearend and just as ugly” “Your a few sandwichs short of a picnic lunch!” “I’m a retired special ed teacher and your truly retarded as I’ve ever seen.”

“Proud vet, Al Halstead”

I called Mr. Halstead at his home in Circle Pines, but he didn’t pick up the phone. I left him a message, saluting his courage in signing his name to this glorious letter.

UPDATE: Al just called me back, and doubled down by calling me the “scum of the earth” however he took umbrage when I said he was being “juvenile.” I apologize for the name-calling.

My website has never looked so good. DAMN IT!

I think I might have gone too far in replying to an email from someone complaining that there isn’t enough attention being paid to Christmas. That “Happy Holidays” replaced Merry Christmas. I told the viewer that my fellow Christians need to stop whining. It’s too needy.

Jason’s History Lesson:

There was a time in December when people just said, “Hello.”
Then Christians started saying, “Merry Christmas!”
Then the Jews got in on it with “Happy Hannukah!”
The African-Americans threw in, “Happy Kwanzaa!”
And the rest of the world gave up, switched from “Hello” and went with “Happy Holidays.”

So shut up already. Everyone still says Merry Christmas. Worry about yourself and what kind of a person YOU are being. I’ll worry about what everyone else should be doing.

My friend and coworker Tom Ziegler went to the hospital to have his spine repaired after a bike accident. While he was recovering, he went into cardiac arrest-several times. If he wasn’t already in the hospital, he’d be dead. It’s amazing he’s not dead.
I’ve been responding by making sarcastic remarks on his CaringBridge guestbook; apparently his sisters are very fond of them. They stick out in a sea of “We love you” and “We’re praying for you” remarks.
Today I wrote: “Was that you anchoring last weekend at KEYC in Mankato? Keep an eye on those medicines interacting with each other.”
He responded with this.
Tom’s the guy at work who knows everything about everything and is loved by absolutely everyone. He reminds me of my dad: the title doesn’t match the responsibility, nor the respect that everyone has for Tom.
Glad you’re alive, buddy.

Stop using your kids as political pawns. Stop making your 8-year-old carry an anti-abortion sign. Stop forcing your 3rd grader to go confront Michele Bachmann. Stop it.
