Sometime about late 1965 or early 1966, KYW went to Philly and 1100 AM and Channel 3 in Cleveland became WKYC.

I believe KYW was also the home of regionally famous Ghoulardi and also where Tim Conway started.

Don’t worry, even if Obama gets elected and both houses are Democratically controlled, there’ll still be lots of whining going on. Speaking of one-party rule, remember when the Dems had a 40-plus year majority? Real wonderland, wasn’t it?

I have two friends from college, who married and did very, very well thereafter. But he (the male half of the duo)still keeps a framed copy of Nixon’s resignation note in their downstairs bathroom. Always a treat to see it.

I could not disagree more. There were plenty of people in Germany and Austria that said, “What Hitler is doing, it doesn’t really effect me. It’s no big deal.”

Remember the words of Rev. Martin Niemöller:
“First they came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.”

We have seen the suspension of habeas corpus, illegal wiretapping, a series of end runs around the constitution, recreational use of military force, illegal invasion and occupation of a country, and the use of the Justice Department to mete out political vengeance. At what point are we actually in a fascist dictatorship? These thugs have sent a Democratic governor to prison merely for having the temerity to be of a an opposing party! There’s also that gem where Karl Rove and Dick Cheney outed Valerie Plame (genuinely searching for WMDs) and endangered her life - and our nation - because her husband would not lie for Bush. And let’s not forget the several felonies surrounding Cheney’s drunken shooting of his lawyer hunting buddy. Cheney and Delay spoke openly about a permanent Republican majority. One party rule sounds a lot more like the bad guys, not us.

If the above tactics don’t sound like creeping fascism and prompt some to scream out, soon we will have no one left to speak out.

I don’t think there’s anyone who can cause such visceral reactions and opinions as Nixon. You could say that about Bush, but there’s precious few who will stick up for him (your comment here), while there’s still a large army of supporters for Nixon. I mean you’d really have to dig hard for Clinton admirers who are bigger apologists than Nixon’s, and be honest, Bill isn’t in the same league as Nixon.

the reason why nixon still has a lot of supporters because they are lower middle class and full of resentment, just like him. and central indiana, where i live, has a lot of them.

and that van picture reminds me… of the rule of thumb which says if you have more than three bumper stickers on your vehicle, you’re a wacko.

(none for me right now, changed cars last week… and the pickup I sold had only one, “I’m Proud Of My Eagle Scout.” which oughta be acceptable in most company…)

Dick Morris is most famously linked to Bill Clinton, but I think the ol’ toe-sucker has shown his stripes since.
