 I'm back... So guess who's coming back to NYC Radio? My friend, colleague, and formerly competitor Curtis Sliwa is coming on board AM 970, The Apple, as of January 11, 2010. Curtis was a casualty of the radio implosion of 2007-2008 (as was I) in large, publicly traded companies that were struggling for survival. His old station WABC moved him to late mornings, then late nights, and finally off the air all together. The sad thing was that in all the years that Curtis went head to head with IMUS (the current morning show at WABC) Sliwa kicked ratings tail to Imus. But when Citadel took over ABC radio and the I-man wanted to get back on to morning radio in Market 1. Sadly it was the top rated Curtis/Kuby show that got the mafia don's bullet. Curtis is a classy act in radio too. Shortly after moving to the market in 2003, he and the lovely Mrs. Sliwa welcomed little Anthony Chester into the Sliwa home. I sent him a note of congratulations just to express solidarity as a father and fellow radio talker. I was BRAND NEW to the market, and no one knew my name (it was within only a couple of months of coming to the city) and Sliwa took the time to send me a hand written letter of thanks. Our Baldwin/McCullough show makes its base out of our New York flagship AM 970 the Apple. And we're thrilled to be on the same team with Curtis now. I'm not sure how long it will take Curtis to return to Morning show ratings fame. But if I was John Gambling at WOR, and Imus at WABC, I'd start sweatin' -- because the ride just got a lot more intense... Track KMC 24/7

Evidently the bomber who attempted to bring down a flight in Detroit over the Christmas weekend is talking, and the administration had best be listening:
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, charged with the attempted Christmas Day bombing of Northwest Airlines flight 253, told FBI agents there were more just like him in Yemen who would strike soon. And in a tape released four days before the attempted destruction of the Detroit-bound Northwest plane, the leader of al Qaeda in Yemen boasted of what was planned for Americans, saying, "We are carrying a bomb to hit the enemies of God." Yemen has become a principal al Qaeda training ground and the accused suicide bomber told the FBI he was trained for more than a month in Yemen, given 80 grams of a high explosive cleverly sewn into his underpants, undetected by standard security screening.
I'm glad to know that the genius in charge of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, is under the grand delusion that the "system worked", but those of us living in the real world would really much prefer to know that the President would be willing to get tough, really quick, and prevent the coming rounds of this attack...

 Chip off the old olive... Lefty geniuses in the blogosphere are attempting to spin the quite damaging YouTube footage of Sen. Max Baucus slurring his words and appearing to be drunk of his gourd. So I thought I'd let you decide for yourself. The Lovely Bride, without any prompting from me took about fifteen seconds to say, "Is that guy drunk or what?" (And she was merely listening to the footage...) Here's Senator Crunky (of whom I can ONLY HOPE that AutotuneTheNews creates a new character out of...):

You seriously can't make this stuff up. When a French leader is more pro-liberty, pro-America, and pro-justice than the American leader is... It is an odd sight to behold. "Whereas Mr Chirac’s stance towards the US was determined by suspicion of US power, current French frustration is aimed at Washington’s hesitancy or even weakness."
Chilly...

"Jesus Christ is not the best human being the human race can boast of— He is a Being for whom the human race can take no credit at all. He is not man becoming God, but God Incarnate— God coming into human flesh from outside it. His life is the highest and the holiest entering through the most humble of doors. Our Lord’s birth was an advent— the appearance of God in human form."

"We talk as if living a sanctified life were the most uncertain and insecure thing we could do. Yet it is the most secure thing possible, because it has Almighty God in and behind it. The most dangerous and unsure thing is to try to live without God."

"When you act in confident faith in what our Lord did on the cross, a supernatural identification with His death takes place immediately. And you will come to know through a higher knowledge that your old life was 'crucified with Him'."

 Captain Clueless... So much could be said about Obama's utter failure in year one. He will not have signed any significant initiative. Health Care will be far from finished, Cap & Trade will be on the chopping block, Gitmo is still open, our men and women are still in Iraq, it took him four months to decide to do what he had already announced he would do in Afghanistan. Iran, North Korea, and Al Qaeda are more belligerent than before he took office. And he's jetted to more worthless overseas opportunities (Olympics-FAILED, Nobel Prize-LAUGHINGSTOCK, Climate Change Summit-MORONIC), and he's played golf more in one year than President Bush did in all 8 of his two terms. The one thing he hasn't done is help secure a better future for small business. After all small business only creates 2 out of every 3 new jobs that are created. And when the headlines read like this... chalk it up to the failure of the nation's top dog. Now if we could teach him to roll over and play fetch, then perhaps his first year wouldn't be a complete failure...

 Being strong-armed by the White House... Sixty-four Democrats voted with Bart Stupak (D) from Michigan when he fought for strong, tough language to insure Obamacare would not cover abortions. Eventually Obama conceded he point.. In round one... But Gangsta-Care is almost here. And the White House is putting pressure on Stupak and other pro-life Democrats to shut-the-heck-up (so much for being such a tolerant party). Stupak is unsatisfied with the Ben Nelson language in the Senate bill and told news outlets on Tuesday that while the original house bill passed with 3 votes, he's got 10-12 votes that will not budge on the abortion issue. That leaves Obamacare, if the reconciled bill still has the Senate language, some 7-9 votes short of passage. Perhaps, just maybe, character and conviction will yet win the day.
