Coming Up On Mondays LFN

Tune into Monday’s LFN as we discuss the city elections, Miller throwing Rex out, the future for Lubbock (at least for 2 years) and more. Guests for Monday include Congressman Randy Neugabauer at 7:35 and Mayor David Miller’s PR person at 8:05am.

As always be sure to call in and give us your thoughts. Tune in Monday 6-9am on 790 KFYO.

Miller Loses It

So last night Mayor David lost his re-election bid to Tom Martin by about 21 points, you can read about it here: LINK.

Another big story last night is what KFYO reporter and co-host of LFN had to go through with David Miller. Shortly after the early vote numbers came across, Rex was thrown out by Mayor David Miller himself and told, “KFYO is not welcome here.” It is pretty much unheard of for a candidate and especially an incumbent to throw a single member of the media out of his campaign rally. Rex had called Miller’s people on Friday to make sure he could be there with no problem and he was told yes by Miller’s PR person (who has been great to work with). Rex was there as a reporter, not as a host. I don’t give a damn if LFN, The Chad Hasty Show, and Pratt on Texas has been harsh on the Mayor, you don’t throw a member of the media out. In my opinion it just shows what kind of person Miller is.

I also can’t believe that other members of the media have not picked up on this. What if KCBD had been thrown out? What about the AJ?

Miller doesn’t even know how to exit graciously. He was expecting Tom Martin…the winner…to call him! No, the LOSER calls the WINNER in politics Mayor Miller. David Miller did not even congratulate Tom Martin last night on KLBK or KCBD. Sad and Pathetic.

Goodbye David Miller, and thanks for all the great radio!

It’s Election Day In The Hub

Everyone be sure to get out there and vote today if you haven’t already. Then tune in to The Chad Hasty Show tonight from 5-7 on 790 KFYO, THEN tune into KFYO’s election coverage from 8-10pm. I’ll be sitting in for a while during the election coverage as well.

Search Warrants For Your Blood

On today’s LFN we discussed the report on KCBD last night regarding the D.A.’s office launching a blood search warrant program. Here’s a small slice of the story:

“The D.A.’s office is testing a blood search warrant program. That means, if you say no to a breathalyzer, an officer can take you straight to the hospital where your blood will be drawn and tested for alcohol, and you don’t have a choice.  Law enforcement already does this to suspected drunk drivers involved in an accident causing death or serious injury, but now, the process is being expanded.”

“”If a person is arrested for DWI, the officer will ask them for a breath sample.  If they refuse, then an officer will take them to UMC, and we’ll fill out a search warrant.  They send it to a judge who will review that, and if the judge agrees that there is enough probably cause to search for it, they’ll sign it and then that person’s blood will be withdrawn,” Brummett said. “

Anyone have a problem with this? Is this a form of the State forcing people to turn evidence against yourself? Those who opposed red light cameras because of Constitutional issues…what about this? Here is a link to KCBD’s article. Click HERE.

WHO DO YOU THINK WILL WIN?

Al Gore Blames Global Warming For Cyclone, Bad Construction.

So Al Gore who isn’t running for President is now blaming the Cyclone that caused thousands of deaths in Myanmar on Global Warming. Here’s a quote from the story:

“Gore claimed global warming is forcing ocean temperatures to rise, which is causing storms, including cyclones and hurricanes, to intensify.”

Of course he said the same thing after Katrina a few years back, so I guess Global Warming takes a couple years off after a disaster. Here’s the story: LINK

Barack Obama, The Nominee?

So says Tim Russert, MSNBC, and the Drudge Report. Yes, Hillary Clinton is finished. Check out the video HERE.

**Update: More pundits declare the race over…click HERE**

So what do you think? Is she done? Should she drop out?

Is She Done?

Will tonight be the end of the line for Hillary Clinton? I think she needs a big win in Indiana (10+ points) and only lose by single digits in North Carolina to have any chance at swaying Super Delegates. With everything that has happened with Barack Obama over the past couple of weeks you would think Clinton could close the gap. We’ll see…
