I Thank You

I thank Keith Brand, perpetual student dj at radio station WXPN, 88.5

I thank Keith Brand, perpetual student dj at radio station WXPN at the University of Pennsylvania for playing rousing big band music at 8:30 am on the no longer but so-called still-called "Sleepy Hollow" weekend morning show because it reminded me

1) to upload the sleepy sounds of "Sleepy Hollow" when it was commercial free and actually sleepy.

Enjoy!

2) that University President Amy Gutmann still hasn't answered my letter asking what educational purpose the radio station serves since it annihilated its 100 plus volunteer student staff and dj's some years ago.

I thank reporter Isaiah Thompson for slamming the casino industry

I thank reporter Isaiah Thompson for slamming the casino industry but fundamentally think that the monopoly Democratic party in Philadelphia is in bed politically and financially with the casino industry. My bet is that the anti-casino forces will lose just as we lost the fight to even get the casino question on the ballot as a referendum- unless perhaps they were to help build an alternative, say Green Party!
