LK’s “AM 970 The Apple” PodKast-The 1/30/12 Show

Editor — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:38:34 +0000

Usually it’s just the last segment of the show in which LK goes pinball, bouncing around from topic to topic and perspective to perspective. This show was wall to wall pinball, from the opening bell to the reluctant farewell.

Among this morning’s bonus balls:

Was Haley Barbour, by pardoning 200+ mostly politically connected lowlifes, trying to obfuscate the pardoning of the convicts who worked at the governor’s mansion, convicts who perhaps saw some Mississippi mischief that the Gov doesn’t want going public?

Why the Prez and Ron Paul are currently sitting together in a corner of the schoolroom, backs facing the class, while wearing matching dunce caps.

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close almost killed LK as he attempted not to break into full-blown blubbering in a crowded movie theater. Its impact knocked him for a loop and probably influenced the show more than he’d like to admit. The film was as powerful as The Descendants was limp. For reasons not easily explained, but LK takes a shot at it.

Why Leon Panetta couldn’t be Warren Buffet’s secretary, let alone the SecDef.

How Greece is being raped by the EuroZone (read “Germany”).

Dr. John weighs in with his timely and much needed observations on the proliferation of medz for kidz.

LK’s “AM 970 The Apple” PodKast-The 1/23/12 Show

The serenity prayer, or affirmation, depending on your religious or secular take on spirituality:

“Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference”

LK attempts to remain serene while hyperventilating following South Carolina’s primary and the Gingrich victory, which came about, in large part, due to the Newt’s racially charged code words.

LK comes to bury Paterno, not to praise him, and can’t understand why anyone, besides the Friends of Sandusky, would see it otherwise.

He goes toe to toe with Dr. John, as they engage in a long volley of news both joyous and repulsive, and Dr. John’s fully redesigned 2012 Serenity Prayer rings true.

LK tips his helmet to the NY Giants.

LK’s “AM 970 The Apple” PodKast-The 1/16/12 Show

In hour 1 of this morning’s show:

LK’s controversial take on the Marines who urinated on the dead bodies in Afghanistan: punish the puppeteers, not the puppets.

Speculation on Haley Barbour’s real reasons for pardoning hundreds of prisoners, including convicted murderers.

Football, as only LK and Dr. John can play it.

Leaders who rise because, and only because, they have more nerve and less humility and shame than the rest of us.

Hour 2 may have gone to hard drive heaven, but if it returns from the brink, we’ll post it as soon as it’s out of the ICU.

LK’s “AM 970 The Apple” PodKast-The 10/17/11 Show

Editor — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 15:13:58 +0000

LK sticks his head in the bucket of muck called “the news”, so you don’t have to if you don’t choose to, and he loses his mind so you have the option of keeping yours.

The MLK memorial, an ex-con working at Mickey D’s who’s either the con man or the victim, the traveling sideshow of Republican candidates, and Holder’s haplessness are all on the docket, and then some.

LK’s “AM 970 The Apple” PodKast-The 10/10/11 Show

As LK wrote to a mentor type last week:

We’ve gotten stupid and selfish and evil, but of the few who allow themselves to see that, even fewer are willing to say it. Nothing good is going to happen unless and until there is a critical mass of revulsion for the culture we have embraced and/or succumbed to.

This week’s show jumps from Wall Street to Washington to war zones, from bailouts of too big to fail to failings of too small-minded to think straight. Everybody’s doing “The Corruption” as if it’s the latest dance craze.

To lighten things up, LK and Dr. John deal with LK’s delusional belief that the Yankees are in the LCS, and they tip their hats to Governor Christie for speeding up the auto inspection process by putting brakes, wipers, and leaky gas tanks on the back burner.

We Put Up the Bail-LK’s WOR BroadKast 7-21-11

Editor — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 15:16:36 +0000

LK reminds us that when our government or the European Union bail out companies and/or nations, it’s we the people who are actually doing the bailing. LK also directs our gaze to south of the border, where the drug gangs are as ugly as the suicide bombers halfway ’round the world.

Don’t Fear the Rooster-LK’s WOR BroadKast-7/14/11

Editor — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 13:29:57 +0000

You can stick your head in the sand, you can whistle past the graveyard, but there’s no way you should avoid facing the slow deterioration of our way of life. “Cock-a-doodle-doo” says LK.

Ugly Reflections-LK’s WOR BroadKast 7/13/11

Editor — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 13:56:41 +0000

LK usually likes starting with big picture news, following which he hones in on the effect it has on our daily lives. Today however, the local news says it all, and acts as a gigantic, shameful mirror. Dr. John takes apart the Bachmann clinic.

Here’s the link.



The Spoils of War-LK’s WOR BroadKast 7/12/11

Editor — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 13:41:49 +0000

We’ve got the debt ceiling, we’ve got public servants with pink handguns, we’ve got horrors in the middle east, we’ve got China’s eye in the sky, and we’ve got Iraqi resources going to Royal Dutch Shell instead of American troops. LK’s got his hands full.
