November 29, 2008 Bush pardons two turkeys. Could one of them be George Ryan? Sen. Durbin says he is considering commutation for former Gov. George Ryan. Gov. Blagojevich could be seeking sympathy from Illinois voters by reaching across the isle to agree with commutation. Former Gov. Thompson also seems to be on board with commutation. Did you know Thompson's law firm helps defend Ryan? *Caller notes this could be psy-ops by Sen. Durbin to stick it to the Illinois Government Machine. Closure of the Dana Thomas House may be the wrong address ... why don't we shut down the Gov. Mansion! Also, are we re-writing history by wanting to move the House that Lincoln owned? Maybe they shouldn't have agreed on that adjustable mortgage. There is chaos in India where several sites witnessed ghastly terror attacks by gunmen with bombs. the death count is over 200 including up to 20 possible gunmen. Reports indicate there is a Pakistani link. India continues to investigate, but what about the initial warnings that preceded the attacks. These should be focused on. Also, how can the Problem Reaction Solution paradigm play a role in this? Or is this just a conflict over Kashmir? President Elect Obama has given 4 press conferences since "winning" the election. 3 have been just this week about the economy. He is nominating Clintonians and former Fed Governors to key positions of advisory boards. Is this really the change voters expected? Its more of the same of what I expected. This and your calls to the public sphere @ 217.629.7970 or email bishop@wmay.com Warning, Middle Eastern Terrorist names will be mispronounced! |

November 26, 2008 - Thanksgiving Eve Greg Bishop fills in on from the Downtown Studio today on 970 WMAY from noon to 3, streaming worldwide on WMAY dot com. Reasons for being late Here's the scenario ... you work early mornings, you take a nap mid afternoon ... you wake after 2 hours, look at the clock and think you are late for work the next morning. Your heart races, you hunt down some clothes, you grab your phone to call explain why you are late to work ... What do you say? - Take the poll: What is the best reason for being late to work? Of course this happened to me last night! As I am running around like a Thanksgiving turkey with it's head cut off, my girlfriend asks what's wrong ... I ask, is it 6A or 6P? Sure enough ... it was still evening! That feeling sucks! Disclaimers Watching your allotted time for TV, you are bound to see not just one, but many drug commercials. Some could be late night male enhancement 'natural supplements' that do not necessarily need a disclaimer ... while others during prime time could be for a better heart, or for stronger bones. Why is it that when you see a drug commercial on TV, when the disclaimer or side effects are narrated, the actors in the commercial are always happy go lucky and very active? Is it different when you hear the spot, without the visuals? And - What are you thankful for this year? Personally, I am thankful for my health, relationships, family, knowledge, jobs, and life ... now if we could just get a little more freedom, justice and liberty I will be ecstatic! This and your calls live from downtown at 217.629.7970 or email bishop@wmay.com |

November 24, 2008 Greg Bishop hosts your noon to 3 show on 970 WMAY, the News and Talk of Springfield, streaming worldwide at WMAY dot com. Today: What are the craziest concert moments through history? Was it GNR at the ampatheater in St. Louis in the 90's or maybe a GWAR concert? What are some of the strangest concerts you have been to? Axl Rose from Guns and Roses causes a riot in St. Louis in 1991. Classic video! The lead singer of Tool performs martial arts on a fan who gets on stage ... and he continues to sing!
Also With every event there seems to be some cheesy company trying to capitalize on it.
We're not talking about private mercenaries in Iraq getting upwards to 2/3rds of the war funding to fulfill their contracts …. We're not talking about the photo journalists doing everything they can do to take a picture of the latest celebrity baby for millions of dollars …. We’re talking about those commemorative coins … or plates. And Have you ever tried to end a service, be it telephon, cable, or Internet? I tried to cancel a cell phone line on Friday and I really wish I could have recorded the converstation leagally. Every attempt was made to keep me on board even after my multiple explanations for cancelation. Has this happened to you? This and your calls to 217.629.7970 or email bishop@wmay.com |

November 22, 2008 The 45th Anniversary of the assassination of JFK is today. What are the prevailing theories out there? Should we believe the deathbed confession a former CIA operative claiming to be a "bench warmer" for the "big event"? Also, the "End the Fed" rally took place today across the country. Why should we end the fed? Will these types of protests bring about public awareness on the level needed for true change? This and your calls to the public sphere on 970 WMAY, the News and Talk of Springfield. |
