Mayor Nelson on Lake Effect

Mayor Nelson was on WUWM's "Lake Effect" program yesterday.

Joy Cardin Jane Hampden* asks him about the transition from teacher to mayor, bringing Barack Obama to Waukesha, regional and local mass transportation and the water issue.

I'm surprised she didn't ask the mayor about his blog which has gotten him in some trouble lately.

Radio so good they oughtta sell commercials

WUWM-FM, a public radio station for those of you who never leave the AM dial anymore, has been featuring a different blogger every day on "Lake Effect".
Monday: Jay Bullock
Tuesday: Rick Esenberg
Wednesday: Mike Mathias
Thursday: Gretchen Schuldt
And today, Jessica McBride. You can almost hear the local liberals screaming about Jessica invading their turf. You can listen live at 10:00 AM or at 11:00 PM, or they'll post the podcast.

"Upon my radio signal, unleash Hell"

Former WKTI radio personality and current ward of the state Bob Reitman made a threat over the airwaves of WUWM this evening. He promises to unleash Hell on Milwaukee during next week's broadcast, a 22 minute version of Don McLean's "American Pie" complete with cuts from all the songs referenced in McLean's original version. Strangely, he made it sound like it was something he thought we wanted to hear.

I think it's only fair if we're going to condemn Michael McGee Sr. for threatening violence, we must condemn Reitman for his extreme bad taste. Perhaps the FCC should get involved.

(If they bring back the Fairness Doctrine, what do we get to play in response?)
