That's all. There's no more to his story until he meets God.

I'll miss him.

I am big into radio and was enjoying Paul Harvey on the radio here in Des Moines. Never really listened to him much or appreciated him so much as lately but knew of his broadcasts well. He had great values and midwestern appeal, even lived/worked in my hometown (Chicago).

He made you think and understand concepts, when he told his story. Using the appeal of logic/truth, he was able to drive home the underlying meaning behind a particular story.

He was controversial even, one who came out speaking the violence of Islam in Iraq in 1993, which I appreciate, but had to come back and say Islam was a religion of peace after some Islamic public protest.

His voice will be missed but we do have his son to carry on the tradition and values.

I do have hope he is with God because of this Larry King Live interview, where he said faith was important (mentioned John 3:16 and talked about his baptism later in life).

I'm going to have to try and learn more about the life and broadcasts of Paul Harvey, as I know so little.

Mike Huckabee has taken over Paul Harveys slot. It seems to work very well with Mike Huckabee but only have heard a couple of these: Huckabee Report

Salty Days and Salty Mayors

-
Mondays begin much like Tuesday through Friday, only earlier. Not such a big deal for me. I've been getting up with the robins for years. The new kids coming to work seem to struggle with it. Salt was everywhere today, and the snow kept coming. The plastic on my papers made the day slow. People see plastic and think buying a paper will take longer. It won't, but that's what people think. I commented on a journalism blog: Strange Attractor . Naturally, I am concerned as the newspaper business evolves. See Rethinking video, rethinking journalism, rethinking priorites . The News Daley's in the news. While his dad's legacy will likely be stronger, just as his infamy will, it looks like the current mayor is on track to last longer: Daley May Eclipse Dad as Chicago's Biggest Boss With Sixth Term . Mayor Daley (pick 'em) has been good for the city of Chicago.

Jim Gets Fired & Sammy Sosa - Tuesday, January 30, 2007

Tuesday, January 30, 2007 10:42 p.m. Finally home. Just had dinner. Had to hit the store and grab some food. Papers barely sold, and my socks weren't enough. All wet. Bought a spare pair at Walgreens. Ran into Jim, who was on the way home today. Fired. He rides, or rode the West line that headed back and forth from Olgivie to La Fox. He wanted it to be political. His gripe is always moaning about politics. Blame the president. Blame his coworkers. Jim is one of those. The fact is, as a Metra ticket taker, he stunk. He was slow, and flirted too much and too long with every short skirt heading to the western suburbs. He says the boss thought he was taking money on the sly, but who knows? It is pretty cheap to steal train fares. What's Bush got to with the train anyway? Clinton, same thing. Nothing. Maybe Daley, but it isn't the mayor's fault Jim's brain is stuck in high school. He forgets about the long term, like his boss is against him, like he thought the teacher ...
