Don Imus

Okay, since Linda brought up the question of how Don Imus got on RFD-TV, we'll visit that issue.

I don't know why he ever got on...their publicity was that rural America called in and wanted him. I'm not sure why. My question was, who knew Don Imus before he got into this trouble over his racial slur? I didn't but I guess those who listen to a lot of talk radio did.

After investigating him and his Don Imus Ranch for kids with cancer I was unimpressed. Why? Because his wife, Deidre, serves all vegan food. Which means there are no animal products used in their menu. She doesn't believe that animals should be used for human benefit. Okay, is anyone confused yet? Why would RFD-TV put anyone on their network that is totally against their network audience? RFD-TV is for rural America...they have farming shows, horse shows, equipment shows, tractor shows, everything to do with agriculture and yet a three hour time span is devoted every weekday morning to a man who's wife is against animal agriculture. That's a problem in my book...how about yours? Besides, like I said in Rural Route Radio, he has an ego as big as this galaxy and has a face for radio....not TV!

Because I believe in being the squeaky wheel, I wrote a letter to RFD-TV about my concerns and asked them to take him off the air. I never heard back from anyone from RFD-TV. I've only heard that people in the industry think that Imus will bring RFD-TV down. He's already done that in my book!

Okay, off to the day's events. I have to take Sarah to a friends house for the day and then do a little shopping! And JW's team lost yesterday....they just weren't themselves. So we'll look forward to next week when hopefully they can get back on the winning track!
