By now you know, today’s news of tolls coming to Valley freeways tomorrow was nothing less than the best April Fool’s prank ever! We start our show with “The Top 7 Signs It’s April Fool’s Day”!
During our first hour, Barack Obama says he doesn’t want either of his daughters to be “punished with a baby” when they reach their teens! A lot of people are upset that he used the word “punishment,” but isn’t an unwanted baby just that to a teenager? I think Obama is being honest and I’m all for it!
At 8, it’s a p***ing contest between Sheriff Joe Arpaio and Mayor Phil Gordon! These guys cannot agree on immigration enforcement in our city! Gordon says Sheriff Joe needs to pick on illegals who come here to commit serious crimes and leave the rest alone! I agree that not every illegal comes here to create mayhem, but Sheriff Joe is the one who’s working his tail off to get a handle on the immigration crisis! Should these guys even be trying to work together on this?
There’s new information regarding a tragic MySpace suicide. Not only did a former friend’s mom perpetuate the online hoax that pushed Megan Meier over the edge, that mom also had help from another teen! We’ll hear this young woman say how sorry she is, but that’s not bringing Megan back! It’s appalling and it points to a real danger posed to kids on the Internet! We’ll discuss this at 9 o’clock.
We close out the show with an update to another story that deeply affects kids and parents. It turns out our worst fears may be true when it comes to the Surprise teacher arrested for child porn. Why on earth would the feds leave this guy in a teaching position for so long?!
The station’s announcement this very early morning startled me out of bed as I was calling my second son in Maine on his 40th birthday. My other son, who drives a freight truck, joined me for breakfast grousing about having to drive the surface streets from now on and saying how crazy one has to be to live in Arizona, the last bastion of the WILD west. I blamed it all on Pres. Bush and we were wondering about the leaving three hours earlier for work. We fell for it hook, line and sinker and it REALLY made my day. I mentioned it when I walked in the door at work and they laughed and shouted “April Fool” egads what a fool I felt but I laughed about it all day long and all the way home in the car. Youse, guys did good. I’ve never been fooled like this before. I’ll always remember it. Thanks for a great day
