  • The Reconquista is Complete

    Seriously: tomorrow, at 7 p.m. inshallah, yours truly will be a guest host on KFI-AM 640. Sí, the same KFI of perpetual Latino immigrant antagonizers John & Ken, of Rush Limbaugh, Dr. Laura, Matt Drudge, and so many other conservative darlings is allowing this Mexican to peddle his Reconquista propaganda for three hours--no restrictions, no co-host to mitigate. I'll do some on-air "Ask a Mexican" until the masses tire of it, at which point...well, you'll just have to tune in tomorrow, ¿qué no

  • A sad day for radio: The demise of 97.1 KLSX

    By now I'm sure most talk radio lovers have already got their big box of Kleenex handy. In what may be one of the most tragic losses in FM history, our beloved stable of KLSX jocks will be officially out of a job at 5 p.m. The owners of CBS radio have chosen to dissolve the hit L.A. radio station in favor of a "360 degree audio and visual experience" known as AMP radio. Great, more top 40 slop. After 13 years of broadcasting the only FM talk station in town, it appears that we're all just going

  • It's a Quick Read 14: Weekend and Monday B.S.

    Orange County Register: Octo-Mom took spawn from her oldest litters to Knott's Berry Farm on Saturday and Disneyland the day before, and all she got were crummy t-shirts reading: "More kids have passed through my log fume than Knott's" and "Your Kaiser co-pays helped pay for the 8-pack I just dropped, so what am I doing now? I'm going to Disneyland!" TMZ's got pics of the getaway, which allowed volunteer contractors to finish getting her La Habra home

  • Why Can't the LA Times Acknowledge They Screwed Up on John & Ken?

    More than 15,000 people showed up last Saturday outside the Slidebar Cafe for a "Tax Revolt" rally held by KFI-AM 640 yakmouths John Kobyalt and Ken Chiampou...and the Los Angeles Times couldn't bring itself to cover it with the exception of a lame blog post. A Times editor dismissed it in an email to a reader as a "promotional events for radio personalities," and wasn't that thought absolutely arrogant? Yesterday, the Times published a story claiming the demise of conservative talk-radio due to

  • Moyers Picks Brain of Last Socialist (and Weekly Pal)

    Saturday Night Live had this skit years ago where they presented a Fugitivesque TV show called The Last Liberal. With all the talk on Fox News and conservative talk radio about the rise of Socialism in Obamerica, Bill Moyers decided to go out and find The Last Socialist to get the other side of the story. It turns out the subject of the host's recent Bill Moyers Journal interview is an old pal of the Weekly to boot!Moyers jokes that when it came to locating a socialist, his show "consulted the E

  • Crabby Over "Orange County Food Poisoning"

    John BisnarJohn Bisnar, a Newport Beach personal injury attorney (or "trial lawyer" to his conservative talk radio pals), has coined a new disease: "Orange County food poisoning." It's all right there in black-and-white--or whatever the virtual equivalent of black and white is--on the Bisnar/Chase ambulance chaser's California Injury Blog:Bisnar/Chase has been receiving complaints from several people who have suffered Orange County food poisoning after purchasing and eating top-of-the-line seafo

  • The Incredible Bravery of Hugh Hewitt

    How brave is our boy Hugh Hewitt, the talk radio blatherer/lawyer/pundit/Nixon fetishist/blogger/moralizer/George W. Bush worshiper/professional Vermont boycotter? Brave enough to take the GWOT (Global War on Terrorism-- though the Bush administration may have changed the brand name by now) to the terrorists? Hell, yeah! Has he parachuted into Iraq, to administer some Rambo-style justice to the evil doers? Nope. Is he charging up a mountain in Afghanistan, to mow down the Taliban? Wrong again. I
