I commute 45 minutes to Delano every morning. The nice thing about it was the ability to collect my thoughts for the coming day and be brought up to date on all the latest news and traffic info by Bill Curtis and Dawnelle Sullivan. Their witty banter and straightforward news delivery made for a pleasant drive.

Now someone decided to put Scott Cox on at 6AM. No offense to Mr. Cox, but his is the last voice I want to hear at 6AM. His style, if you can indeed call it that, is a disjointed ramble intermixed with name dropping of peole I have never heard of. He is abrasive and rude. He is a redneck Howard Stern with a few less fart jokes. And it seems the number of commercials has doubled.

Now some people undoubtedly like this form of crap-stick comedy, but at 6AM I just want the straight poop. I have often wondered how this guy is still on the air, but he must have some kind of audience. The target demographic seems to be truant 12-14 year old boys and they aren't awake at 6AM.

To the station manager at 1410: Please bring back Bill and Dawnelle. radio, KERE

I've been here for months now and every time I look at the Cool New People list on the right hand side of the screen, I'm never on it. Now, I don't claim to be the most popular nut on the branch, but how does one get on this list?

I noticed everyone on there has a pic, so I put one on mine.

Some of these people listed I have never seen posting here before.

BLT and Chico and Random are almost always there. That's fime because they are cool, but hardly new.

What's the deal with that?
