Might get him divorced too. He went on to say something to the effect of keeping up the fight (w/the city, and other big-wig types) even with the threat of himself losing his job and his wife losing her life. That he's doing it for his listeners. That he's so passsionate about the issuses, blah, blah, sniff, sniff.
If that's the case, then he has chosen "the issues" over the health of his wife. Maybe he should go back to Canada where health care is free, even for the unemployed.

Was he worried about anyone else's reputation when he made un-substantiated claims? He needs to do his OWN homework on the issues.
Other people who work at Journal are having their reputations tarnished just because they are a co-worker of the loon. I know how hard the news team works there, and to have VDJ tarnish the heritage of the news team is a travesty. IMO.....If I were Rex, I would take care of the problem right now, because it will never get better!!
If he does get fired, he can always opt for Cobra insurance coverage!

You are right, King Bear. I just hope Rex wakes up before he sees KTTS News spinning in unison with Canadian Bacon any further.
The people in the News Department do work hard.
Yeah, I'm biased in what I write about them. But even though I'm out of the game, I still have contacts and it's amazing their perceptions.
Remember the old saying, "Perception is Reality."
I personally don't think Canadian Bacon is bringing in that much dough to offset the continually erosion of confidence in the news operation of KTTS!

The following blurb is an excerpt from VDJ's blog. Is he friggin NUTS?
Are Satanists on the Square?
A question no one wants to talk about, particularly after dark on a Sunday. Although at that time you may not find anyone on the square but rather UNDER it. According to sources on the Springfield PD there are a series of tunnels that run under the down town core; one of which opens into a cavern directly beneath the City Square. This cavern shows evidence of much use, runes on the wall and bits of sacrificed animals on the ground.
Is anyone aware of this? Yes some very significant people have known for some time. Is it believed these activities are tied to the role playing game “The Masquerade” played by those found above ground on the square? Yes! There are even some who believe the murder of a woman and her two children is tied directly to some of those who play their games on and under the City’s focal point.
#1. According to responses to the blog, there are NO tunnels under PCS.
#2. Is he referring to the Feeney case? No mention of Springfield's most famous unsolved case.
#3. His doctor needs to increase his meds!

OMG.
That does it. I'm pulling down the curtains in my house and putting up the tin foil!
I'd like to sell this guy Ocean View Property in Arizona! He'd believe anything and especially if I included facts that JQH was building a hotel next to it!

| There are no tunnels directly under the square but several under the sidewalk C U rooms. There is some tunnels under buildings and go around Jordon Creek. Animals Are sacrificed on a daily basis but most know but turn their heads. Do not panic its Willowbrook.

| I am certainly not a fan of VDJ's especially his regular show. However, I will be first to give him credit for his ice storm coverage...he did what all stations should have been doing...taking calls from the public with ref; to keroscene, batteries, shelters, etc. He did do a very good job with the storm. As to, "saving lives", who knows.

| I like to see him present evidence to back up his claim.

it’s not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena… who, at best, knows in the end the triumph of great achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly. So that his place will never be with those cold timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

"Yabba Dabba Doo"....Fred Flinstone
TR’s quote relates to your quote how again?
Simply posting your own words w/o comment. What very important words they are. Saving hundreds of lives is really something. Perhaps someone could give you a parade. SGF PD would surely donate their time for traffic control since it's YOU who saved hundreds of lives. Heck, your own station should've had a promo on to that effect by now. A Presidential Medal of Freedom would be in order for saving hundreds of lives. Do you think any of the hundreds of people who owe their lives to you would come forward and tell their story? Many of us would be very interested in hearing or reading about that.
Your doing your job in the ice storm is not under question here. Your gigantic boastful lie is. Especially with your FM down at that time, I really can't imagine even one hundred listeners tuning in to what you were offering.

You are going to look awfully stupid when others go to the podcast , listen for themselves and and discover I did not say what you have alleged.
I know why would FLAAPL's worry about the truth when you can hurt someone by telling a lie!
As for what Teddy said...what have you done...ever...I mean....ever?

Back in the Great Empire days of KTTS "we" did lots to save lives. Our weather coverage was second to none. In 1983, when the tornado swept across southern Springfield and destroyed over 200 homes, only 1 person died...a miracle. It started just east of Kansas and south of Battlefield and let up just short of the cemetary at Sunset and Glenstone. KY3 even called and asked if they could carry our sound on their air...we said sure of course. One man told me his daughter was with a choir coming back to town down Battlefield and because of what we said, the driver turned south before he got to Campbell, just in time to avoid a direct hit by the tornado. We recieved well over 100 pieces of mail (snail) thanking us for the coverage. One time I recall getting a call from a lady in Neosho, saying that KTTS saved their lives...Joplin stations were not covering the storm, they listened to us and headed for the basement just in time to hear their house be blown away over them. So yes, those great "Ranch hands" indeed saved several lives.

XGM you and I agree on little but YOU did provide the leadership for a legendary station. As the Red Baron said to Snoopy..."Merry Christmas my friend!"
