And now for something completely different.
I found myself at a bit of a loss for the blog today (Sunday). Mostly due to the fact that I had a very busy end of the work week and have kinda shut myself off of the media for the past few days. Rather than post a Webisode of myself blabbing on about how uninspired I currently am, I thought I would share something kinda funny from my past and what has become oddly the biggest local story of the weekend.
First of all, some of you might remember me telling a story of how when I was young my Dad always said we should salute the Cattle "Guard" and how my sons and I now do it whenever we cross over one. Well here ya go. That would be me the little guy on the far left. That's my brother with the poofy red hair second from the right.
Woman asks city to highlight trash-bin danger
This story has spread like wildfire since yesterday. I think mostly because many people can't figure out how in the world this woman managed to do what she did. Then there is the issue of this being a story at all. Was is such a slow news day that we needed to cover an accident of someone falling down? Then there is the fact that the woman wants a better warning label? Honestly I don't think someone could duplicate this if they tried. Needless to say she is going to get her local 15 minutes of fame. Hope it was worth it, but I don't think it was.

Glassman is Out - who will AZ Democrats nominate to challenge McCain? (Daily Kos)
(daily kos)No, Rodney Glassman has not dropped out of the race, and he didn't come out of the closet. But he has been outed for making anti-gay comments that disqualifiy him for any elected office, in the eyes of this voter and, I hope, many others too. It's important to note that Glassman does not deny making this comment, and Karen Uhlich, the woman he was speaking about when he said that the hardest thing he would have to do as a Tucson city councilman would be to sit next to an openly gay person has verified that Glassman made the comment, she said that he did not deny saying it when they spoke about it, and as far as supporting him, her comment was that "perhaps there should be a higher standard for candidates." Amen, Karen!
I wanted to share this latest item about Rodney because this is exactly why we got into this mess currently in Tucson and in our country. Glassman represents everything wrong with hack, power hungry clueless politicians. He has been nothing more than a political machine whose sole mission in politics is to get as high up the food chain as possible. All of his efforts have not been for the benefit of others only himself. Too many "Rodneys" made it Washington. One of them even made it into the White House. Too many "Rodneys" were given support because they were slick, could articulate and redirect. But now it's a different time and the voters across all party lines have woken up. People are no longer going to stand for the non answer and "look over here" that "Rodneys" do. Endorsements don't mean jack unless you the candidate can actually explain why you got the endorsement. In the end Rodneys past may destroy his future and it should. He shouldn't have gotten this far. But really who are we kidding, he really didn't get very far did he. If he loses this primary his resume will have ended at "WARD 2 City Councilman for Tucson Arizona *PARTIAL". Oh and that dumb childrens book too.

First time listener or wanting to know more about what you hear every day on the Jon Justice Show?
Catching up with the Jon Justice Show Hour 1 - 2 - 3 - 4
Also hear the "truth" about all the rumors and myths with:
"Hate Radio: A History of Jon Justice"
Bio/History of Jon Justice:
Born and raised in Southern California I attended private Christian Schools from 5th grade through High School. I worked at age 18 as a record store manager. Right around when I turned 21 I left retail to go work as a public real estate auctioneer and property inspector in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego counties. One day, just after being chased off the lawn of a house going into foreclosure by a very large toothed dog who obviously had not been fed for awhile, I heard a commercial for the Academy of Radio Broadcasting. The rest is, as they say....history.
After graduating from the ARB I started as an intern and weekend air talent for Riverside San Bernardino station KCXX in late '95. I then left in '98 joining John Michael at Tucson AZ Alternative Rock KFMA. While at KFMA the Jon and John Show went #1 with our core audience. With this new found fame I was able to convince a promotions intern that I was the coolest guy on the planet and made her my wife. Yes I married an intern and even after she figured out I wasn't that cool Melinda still stayed with me.
In 2000 I returned to KCXX to team up with my still good friend Dick for the Dick and Justice Show. After reaching new highs and lows with bits like "Homeless Survivor" and "Dog in a Hot Car", Dick And Justice went #1 and posted the highest morning show ratings on KCXX. During this time my wife gave birth to our first son Logan Wedge.
In 2003 Dick and I accepted a job as afternoon show for Atlanta's WKLS 96Rock. While achieving some moderate success and hosting a night show on the now defunct FM Talk Real Radio 105.3 we fell victim to a station-wide decline in performance due an on air incident that got the successful morning show fired for airing inappropriate content. Dick and I exited WKLS late in 2004, after which Dick left the radio industry to join CNN.
In December 2005 I joined Grand Rapids MI Active Rock WKLQ as host of the Justice and Jim show. Once again reaching the masses with new lows like the now famous "Dog Drowning Hoax" in which I tried to bring to light the dangers of children drowning in local pools and lakes. Needless to say management mistakenly silenced me after the bit reached critical mass being covered not only on all local news outlets but major cable networks as well. A bit which was done to help educate and a make statement about how people need to pay more attention to child dangers, ended up making me look like an animal hating shock jock. (Of which I am niether, despite what some now think of me locally). After surviving the "Dog Hoax" in late 2005 (I was not fired for that bit, again despite what has been said in online circles) I found myself hosting the show solo as "Justice in the Morning". . That was until my agent made a deal with the company I worked for to put a syndicated show on several of its stations-including mine.....yes, my agent at the time essentially put me out of work. While I hated to lose my job, I was glad to leave WKLQ.
After serving a brief non-compete I was asked to join the #1 station in the market Newsradio WOOD as APD and fill in talk show host. I was given the job of fill in hosting on the stations two #1 live local shows The Grand Rapids Morning News and Rick and Scott (Both shows I have the utmost respect for). Also I was honored to be working on air the week of President Gerald R. Ford's passing, providing Grand Rapids the only live local call in show for 6 hours. During this time Melinda and I welcomed the birth of our second son Kyle Elliott on December 12 2006.
Just after the first of 2007 NEWSRADIO WOOD 1300 launched The Show with Justice Saturday afternoons.
It is now with great pleasure that I can be back in Tucson Arizona. On August 13th 2007 I started as host of my show "The Jon Justice Show" on 104.1 The Truth Tucson's News FM.
My passion has always been talk radio and I am pleased to finally be able to make a career in radio doing talk radio.
I was raised in a Reformed Presbyterian Christian household. I am happy to carry these beliefs with me still today and to be able pass them along to my wife and children Logan Wedge and Kyle Elliott.
I believe:
-I am not better than you the listener, just lucky enough to have a microphone and you don't
-Republicans get it right most of the time
-Democrats get it wrong most of the time
-If you are a liberal that's alright, everyone can change
-We need more God and less government
-We need more honesty and less political correctness
-The Ten Commandments and the Constitution are not mere "suggestions"
-There is reason why the "War on Terror" is called a WAR
-Freedom and democracy don't happen without a fight and they don't happen over night
-If you think you know how war will play out, you're very confused.
-If you're upset about soldiers that die during war, how mad are you about the homeless guy downtown that starved to death last night, the roll over crash that killed 3, or the winter storm that leveled a home and killed a family.
Death happens and our soldiers are fighting for your right to live free.
-We will win the war in Iraq and the war on Terror, but not without the FIGHT
-The media reports what they think you want to hear and unfortunately most of us are too stupid to care
-The most important things in my life are God, my wife and children, my family and my Job
-My father is my mentor and best friend next to my wife and sons
-The most enjoyment I get from TV comes in the form of NASCAR racing, Star Wars movies on DVD, and 24 the TV Series
-If I want to laugh then Spinal Tap, Monty Python and Judd Apatow movies will fill the need
-Depeche Mode is the most underrated band ever
-Dale Jr drives better than you...go #88, go JR!
-Pizza is greatest meal on the planet
-If I need a drink an Orange AMP energy drink will do. If I need something with a little more kick, Captain Morgans and Diet Pepsi will do the trick.
