Maybe "Cooler" Heads Will Prevail


Wonder what Climate Guru Al Gore thinks about this development.  The head of the World Meteorological Organization says La Nina - the weather phenomenon which is cooling the Pacific - is likely to trigger a small drop in average global temperatures compared with last year.   Holy reversal Batman.  This is really ridiculous and yet we, the skeptics are being told all along that our heads are in the sand and we refuse to face the fact that our world is spinning out of control.  Combined that with Ted Turners latest comments last week saying that over population and global warming are leading us all down a path of destruction.   When will the average "Joe and Jane" America wake up to the fact that we have been sold a bill of goods by Gore and his pals.  I still can't believe he won the Nobel Peace Prize.  What a joke; a real laughing stock.

How Third Grade Has Changed


     I remember classmates almost coming to tears on the final day of my third grade class.  Our teacher, Mrs. Supercho was a sweet, gentle kind lady.  I remember lining up to leave on the final day of class, approaching my teacher and giving her a big hug.  Sure that was going on 40 years ago and times have definitely changed.  I guess they have!!!  

     Just read about the third grade classmates in a Georgia elementary school who were caught by school officials before they could carry out their plan to physically harm their teacher.  The adjacent picture is just one of several showing some the "weapons" the THIRD graders planned to use.  Waycross, Georgia Police Lt. Dwayne Caswell said of the students, "They had a broken steak knife, a crystal paper weight, toy handcuffs, several items and tape and stuff."  Sure, these are not the actions of typical third grades or at least I hope not.  But it sure says something about a society and culture that seems to see more and more cases of younger and younger children expressing such anger, disrespect and outright evil actions.  I can't help but ask what would drive third graders to want to do something like this and more importantly what kind of homes and parents do these students come from?

Returning To WOND


Beginning next Monday, The Jeff Whitaker Show returns to WOND. Looking forward to getting back to the airwaves of Southern New Jersey. My show which was cancelled over two years ago will return this time from 6 to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursdays in the Atlantic City, NJ radio market. No real surprises this time around. The show will basically follow the same format which moved it the number one time slot from 3-4. We'll talk breaking news of the day, politics - local and national, social concerns, authors and an occasional offbeat guest, plus plenty of input from listeners. I hope you'll return, if you were a listener before and give us a try if you never had a chance to catch me the first time around.
I'm still going to blog, still add the podcasts and blogtalkradio worldwide. This is just another exciting opportunity to reach an even larger audience. See you Monday evening.

The Audacity of Obama's Hypocracy - Part 2

Who said the following of talk show host Don Imus one year ago? "...But I would also say that there's nobody on my staff who would still be working for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group. And I would hope that NBC ends up having that same attitude." ANSWER: The man from Illinois who would be President of the United States. Oh, how quickly he backs down in his strong stance. Sure Barrack Obama delivered a flowery speech this week condemning the remarks of his former "pastor". But last year when Don Imus, (who makes a living out of sarcasm and quick wit, tongue and cheek monologue) spoke out of line, Senator Obama refused to give him a pass and called for his immediate firing saying, "He (Imus) didn't just cross the line, he fed into some of the worst stereotypes that my two young daughters are having to deal with today in America." If that is an accurate characterization of Don Imus, what in the world can be said of the series of incendiary comments by Jeremiah Wright.
It's not just the Jeremiah Wright comments. Now World Net Daily is reporting that Wrights church, (Barrack Obama's church) reprinted a manifesto by Hamas that defended terrorism as legitimate resistance, refused to recognize the right of Israel to exist and compared the terror group's official charter– which calls for the murder of Jews to America's Declaration of Independence.
Where will it all stop? How much more does the American voter needs to know before we collectively say, enough is enough?

The Audacity of Obama's Hypocrisy


So now when the heat is on, Barack Obama denounces the words of his pastor of 20 years, the man who married he and his wife, baptized his daughters and preached in the pulpit that Obama has called his home church. Is Obama responsible for the comments of his pastor? Of course not. But I can't imagine why you would attend a church, consider someone a close friend and give to the ministry of someone who preaches hate, racism and division. Tonight on Fox News, Barack Obama said he was unaware of many of the comments made by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright until the last couple of days. This raises a lot of questions not the least of which is how anyone could on one hand be so close to someone (Rev. Wright) who is Obama's own words was like "an uncle to me", and on the other hand not know he held these extreme views. That doesn't say a whole lot for the judgment of the man who would be our next President. This whole issue answers other questions raised in the last couple of weeks. Hearing these statements by the Rev. Wright makes it much easier to understand where Michelle Obama has developed her beliefs about the United States of America considering she sat under the ministry of Wright.
Recently, Barack Obama delivered a stump speech where he touted the famous words of Dr. Martin Luther King, and words of the Declaration of Independence and other inspiring quotes followed by the rhetorical question, "Just Words"? Obama hammered home the ascertation that words are powerful and have meaning.
You're right about that Mr. Obama. In light of the recent revelations, my question to you is, Rev. Jeremiah Wrights sermons and messages, just words? If this had been any other candidate other than Obama he or she would have had to resign quicker than you can shake a stick. The fact that Barack Obama is still in this race is THE AUDACITY OF HYPOCRISY!
