"HOSTAGE CRISIS"
Not too long ago, some of us remember the “hostage crisis” during the last few months of Jimmy Carter’s presidency.

Live 105.7 Sinks to a New Low
On Wednesday March 30th at about 1:59pm former police commissioner Norris made this "Joke" on the Out to Lunch show. "Why are Bolivians like Que. Balls? The harder you hit them the more English you get" This "joke" reminds me of something the infamous La ex policeman Mark Fuhrman said, "We don’t speak Spanish here. Work Mexican gangs and I don’t know how to speak Spanish. ’No comprende’ slap them upside the head. Then they speak English. I’m an English teacher just like that. That’s police work, That type of treatment is necessary". This "joke" by ex Commissioner Norris reflects that attitude.
If you are ticked off call the station. The main number is 410-825-1000. You should also call the show Out to Lunch at 410-481-1057 between 11 AM and 3 PM.

Revolutionary Communists Take on Christian Fascists Over Schiavo
"One thing that God has brought to us is Terri Schiavo to elevate the
visibility of what's going on in America."
Tom DeLay, Congressman from Texas, House
Republican Majority Leader,
speaking to his co-thinkers of "Family Research Council"
Tom DeLay is a powerful right-winger who wraps his ambitions in a frenzied
god-speak. He is the cynical manipulator, who redistricted Texas to disenfranchise
political opponents, and is now rewriting congressional ethics procedures to
rescue himself from his own colossal corruption. He is an aggressive liar, who
recently dared describe Terri Schiavo as "lucid."
But, for a half second there among allies, he let out something true.
This huge national power struggle over Terri Schiavo's fate has, in fact, elevated
the visibility of what's going on in America.
