Susquehanna Media Co. For Sale
Media division of Susquehanna Pfaltzgraff Co. is looking sell all of it's media holdings. Locally it includes radio stations WRRM-FM (WARM 98), WYGY-FM (96.5), and WMOJ-FM (MOJO 94.9). Which media giant will get them? Would a major radio ownership shift cause more format changes?
Kaldi's Closed
In what can't be deemed a surprise, Kaldi's closed. When you give up your liquor license, close at 7 PM, and then expect to make money with a location in the Main Street Entertainment District, it should not shock you when it does not work.
Word is that a deal is close on a new owner who hopefully will get a liquor license, and then return it to a similar, yet improved structure. Speed of the service staff would be priority number 1.

I'm So Vain, I Do Think This Song Is About Me
Call me vain, but I think this is about me.
My response: hmmmm. Do I have to be kind, courteous, and forgiving? Can I spew some venom? Do I always do that? I have my regular targets. Everyone knows, well those who read me regularly that is, that I rebut Peter Bronson. Do I do it to every column? No, I do not. Do people have to like what I write? No, they do not.
To be honest for a minute: Let me say that I am not doing this to win an award. I am not doing this to get a job writing professionally. I don't write well enough for that. I do this because I enjoy it. It is an outlet for me. I can say what I want, and surprisingly there are a few people who read what I write. Am I out here in some kind of altruistic crusade to improve the world, hell no. I am hear to render my opinion. People are generally free to bitch back. When I get bitched at, like now, I might bitch back, like now.
I say what I think. I also say things to piss people off. I try to parse my words as carefully as I can, and often people do not want to catch on, because they assume I am just like every other person on my side of isle. Those who know, I think know differently. I am not out here trying to be Mr. Universe, though I do have the legs for it. I am out here to put my two cents into the fray. If I can air ideas that you can't read about any other place in town, then good. I will not be what others want me to be. I try to be what I want to be. Call me vain, call me an ego maniac, call me Fred. I will not stop you. Don't call me a one trick pony. You can say I am beating a dead horse (when you have a belief and stick to it, that is what it can look like), but for fuck sake, if I suck so bad, and people hate posting here, then don't do it.
Otherwise, have a nice evening!

'The 'Christian' Journalist Get His Retort
I was wondering when the Enquirer would unleash the anti-abortion voices. Let the propaganda Soar! Nice to see the support offered to Maggie Downs from the Editorial Page. What friendly co-workers they must be. I mean they could have just let Randal Terry write this instead. The only thing Terry may have added was to say Maggie was going to 'Hell'. As one who has been told I am going to 'Hell', she should know we are in good company.
Younger Feel?
Is the new Maisonette going after Generation Y and Z? Are they looking to attract the 21 year old college kid wants to blow $200 bucks on dinner?
Religious War
I have to wonder what could make Peter Bronson write a column that totally politicizes religion. Do people wonder why Senator Frist is being criticized for speaking to group taking the initial steps of forming an openly religiously based political party bent on theocratic rule? This odd alignment of the fundamentalist/evangelicals and the Conservative/Orthodox/Radical Roman Catholics is starting to take the same shape as a Sunni Mosque and Shiite Mosque both working together to oppose Israel.

Tyrone Yates?
He said to the Enquirer that he is 'available' to run for congress in the 2nd District. It appears that there is some life in the Dems after all. Yates would be a very viable candidate. He would have problems in the rural Eastern counties. He would have those problems because he is Black. Sad to say it, but that will hurt him in the rural area, and might actually bring out the bigot/racist vote that would ignore this special election otherwise.
