60 Seconds With Me

Finally, finally, finally it looks like the BP mess is over. The oil spill that is. The lawsuits and the damage claims will last for years. I am honestly surprised and thankful there are not more off- shore accidents like this. Praise for the men and women who follow safety guidelines and provide oil for this country in a safe manner.......So in Portland a health inspector shut down a child's lemonade stand because the 7 year old did not have a license. The head of the department stepped in and said it was okay for the child to continue to sell lemonade. This is a big problem we have in our country-a lack of common sense. Its as simple as that. People are afraid to deviate from "The Book" or general rules, and they do stupid things like this. COMMON SENSE. That's the precious resource we have too little of in this nation.....So Doug Bruce hires a lawyer to fight contempt of court charges in Denver. His lawyer won 10 Million Dollars for his client Tim Masters illegally imprisoned for 10 years, but also represented Balloon Boys dad in Northern Colorado (lost that case) and he also represented Ward Churchill who was unsuccessful in getting his teaching Job back at CU. So the guys is 1-2 in high profile cases. Good Luck Doug.

I never used to be a big "vacation" guy. In my stupider days I didn't use all my vacation here at work. I lost days. As I get older (and hopefully wiser) I use every hour of every vacation day. Don't be stupid like I was a few years ago......Air Force Football practice begins August 2nd. I will have a blog at KVOR. com that I will update as the Falcons open practice and get ready for the season. ...Still time to register at KVOR.com to become a VIP club member. You could win dinner at 2 great restaurants at Bronco Billy's in Cripple Creek and they are giving away a car a day through mid August.....Should be a very interesting August Primary in Colorado. You wonder about Scott Mcinnis and his chances of getting past this plagiarism issue. Like it or not John Hickenlooper is the favorite to win the Governors seat in November....Facebook has just passed 500 million members. I loved what Betty White said about Facebook on Saturday Night live. She said she had never heard of Facebook and it was brought to her attention the campaign Facebook subscribers had mounted to get her on the show. She went on to say now that she knows about it, she figures it sounds like a huge waste of time....

Back from vacation........Was working on my house doing a variety of things. If the lights at your home blinked or you lost electricity for a few minutes, my apologies. I know enough about that kind of work to get us all in trouble.......So whats up with Mel Gibson? This guy looks like he's crazy, and could be investigated by the Los Angeles DA's office for allegedly hitting and threatening his girlfriend. Would William Wallace do that? Would the Road Warrior do that?......Early warning. Air Force could have its best football team since the 1998 season. The schedule sets up so if they jump out to a fast start they could hit the top 25 polls in September......Its been great to meet many of our KVOR listeners at Springspree and our live broadcasts. Thanks for coming out and supporting us......I have dropped 5 pounds the last 2 weeks. My diet tip-only grab 3 handfuls of potato chips. Repeat after me-Moderation.....Condolences to the family of George Steinbrenner who died at age 80. Say what you want about him, but he was a big big supporter of the Air Force Academy...

60 seconds Inside my Head-Which is 58 seconds too long for me........How bout this idiot near Nederland who abducts two people and ties them to a tree? They caught this guy who turns out to be homeless and has had some minor run-ins with the law. If he's not out looking for a job, just throws his a-- in jail and let him rot........Had the pleasure of sitting next to University of Colorado Athletic Director Mike Bohn at the recent Sports Corp Football Kickoff luncheon. Mike and I actually played basketball against each other in high school. He gave an impassioned speech about supporting college football and college sports in general and all the good things that come with it. He is a great leader for CU Athletics and one of the good guys in sports.....I've spent more time at the pool already this summer than I have spent in the last 10 years combined-which means I've bought every bottle of Aloe I can find in town-My nickname is "aspirin.".......Was not a big Larry King fan but I do think he is a great interviewer. 2 things he does all media types should learn-he asks short questions, and when he has an author on, he never reads the book prior to the interview....Things that bother me-When I am in line to pay for something and ahead of me is 10 members of 1 family. Look, one of you can pay for your purchase-the other 9, get out of line please......And finally, my vacation has arrived. DJ Mccoy, Charlie Stone and Ann Boswell will drive the bus while I remember what the term "sleep in" means.

"Catch the Deluge in a Papercup"

So Joran Van Der Sloot admits to killing a young woman in Lima Peru. Finally that creep will get what he deserves. I would love the Peruvian Police to question him about Natalie Holloway. The Aruban authorities don't seem to have a clue....I've had this sitting on my desk for a week-"A United Nations investigator wants the U.S. to stop CIA-directed drone attacks on suspected islamic militants in Afghanistan and Paikstan. Philip Alston said there's a risk of developing a "Playstation" mentality because the operators of the drones are far away from the battlefield." HUH? You have to be kidding me. We are saving American lives thanks to technology and this yoyo thinks we should stop? Why? Because its unfair? How bout asking the Afghnaistan militants and Pakistan militants to observe rules of war and not kill women and children? Mr Alston you are an idiot.....I just got done moving. It's amazing the stuff I forgot I had...Am loving the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Hope it goes 7 and the Blackhawks win..... Final thought, and I stole this from YouTube-Dan Fogelberg's "Same Ole Lang Syne finishes with this-"She gave a kiss to me as I got out and I watched her drive away. Just for a moment I was back in school, and felt that old familiar pain. As I turned to make my way back home, the snow turned in to rain." Think about you and relationships. That line says it all. You either get it or you don't get it. Dan Fogelberg is still missed. He passed away December 2007.

And Now a Word From our Sponsor.......

Tv's are getting bigger and cell phones are getting smaller. Before you know it the cell phone will turn into the Dick Tracy Watch.......Hope you join us at Territory Days Memorial Day Weekend in Old Colorado City. Our tent will be at 25th and Colorado. Should be a lot of fun. If you love music, there will be 16 bands performing over all 3 days.....If you see any live pictures of the oil leak in the gulf your first thought is, "That should be pretty easy to fix." Then you realize its 5 thousand feet below the surface, and you can't send anything other than robots down there. The emergency plans they had for this type of situation need to be re-thought for future off-shore drilling.....Saw KC and The Sunshine Band recently in Las Vegas. His boogie shoes are a bit slower these days but the audience still loved him. He's out there at age 59 still drawing crowds.....Next week KVOR will give you a chance to win tickets to shows at the Colorado State Fair in Pueblo. The "On Sale" date for tickets is June 5th......Guilty pleasure-Rocky Road Ice Cream with marshmallow topping.....Final thought-is it football season yet?

It Goes in One Ear and Out........

Okay. I am finally ready for summer. I was the guy wanting another snowstorm and I got it a couple of weeks ago. Now time to play in the sun..........Have really enjoyed watching the Stanley Cup Playoffs the last several weeks. Its killing my beauty sleep however........KVOR has some cool things lined up for our booth at Territory Days Memorial Day Weekend. Hope you come out and say hi........Off year elections this year should be fascinating. To me, one of the big questions is, have Tea Parties helped or hurt republicans? Don't have the answer to that. But they have certainly re energized many conservatives around the nation....I am a big time concert guy. This year I will see KC and the Sunshine Band-yes, still alive and well and killin it. Might take in Chicago and the Doobie Brothers, Sting and the Royal Philharmonic at Red Rocks, and maybe 1 or 2 others.
