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.
NIKE and the Cleveland Plain Dealer took out an ad in their newspaper. You can read the text below, but you know what, Michael Jordan got it done. I like the ad, but we had the 90s Bulls. We just did it. Imagine if Lebron came home to Cleveland. Imagine if the team struggled early but finished the regular season strong. Imagine if their big man went down, but they still found a way to power through the Eastern Conference. Imagine if they faced the top seed in the Finals. Imagine if they pushed Game 1 to overtime but lost another star to injury. Imagine if everyone counted them out. Imagine if they shocked the world and took the next two games. Imagine if fatigue caught up with them, and they lost Games 4 and 5. Imagine if they defied odds, logic and the basketball gods to come back and win the series in 7. Except this isn't Hollywood. It's Cleveland. Nothing is given. Everything is earned. Just do it.
With all the noise about Drew Peterson , Rod Blagovich and the Barack Obama gaff , it is fun to see something cool.

What's in a rant? I can't tell you. All I know is there are more ranters than solvers. I am tired of do-good sign holders telling me how awful the world is. Fix it. You have carried your sign, now go fix it. Or shut up.
