One Drunk Redneck

Jared's question was a simple one.  "Should Delaware be restricting the right to buy raw milk anyway in the first place?"  He raised the question on his show (The Jared Morris Show, May 09,   WXDE 105.9 Talk Radio ) after HB 150 , a bill that would legalize the sale of raw milk in Delaware through a herd sharing program, hit the news. Every caller agreed that it is legal to sell more dangerous products like cigarettes, chicken, and raw seafood so if a farmer wants to sell raw milk, he should be allowed to sell it. Well, every caller sided with the farmer until state representative John Atkins (D) called.  It's worth listening to his three-minute conversation with Jared. (We'll pause here to get a beer while you listen to Representative Atkins.) So what did you think? Maybe we're old school, but we weren't impressed.  We have this silly idea that anyone who works for the government is a public servant, including our elected officials, and, ...

I'd bring these over, but I'm not sure your station is a mousetrap free zone  If you haven't read my first review of  WXDE 105.9's afternoon talk line up, you  may want to read it now so everything  written below makes more sense.   Since my review almost three weeks ago,  I've come to the conclusion that my first  impression of Jared Morris may have  been an incorrect one.  He obviously  read  my review (linked above) and,  almost  every day since, has made it a point not to abruptly or prematurely hang up on a caller. The epitome of his tolerance and willingness to allow everyone to speak his/her mind was put to the test on Monday while talking about the US Supreme Court's ruling on allowing prayer in local government meetings.  One caller, whose voice could best be described as belonging to a backwoods, evangelical, angry hillbilly, began with "Jared, I can't believe that you, as ...

Lack of new material didn't break us up. Neither did disagreements. Nor creative differences. Fame certainly wasn't a factor, either. But Five Drunk Rednecks is technically One Drunk Redneck drinking alone in George Thorogood tradition except yours truly is optimistically waiting for the other four to join him on Saturday nights, again, like in the good ol' days. The break up has been a year in the making.  Shannon started down her own path about a year ago.  A career change and a new love interest led her astray.  The rest of us are still in shock that love was ever in her cards.  Keith began straying about six months ago.  The time was fine, but he wants to get back to drinking his wine.  "Dude, I'm at the age where my only concern is if I have found the best glass of wine around."  He still comes around once in awhile on a Saturday and texts an idea or two a week, but, unless Five Drunk Rednecks becomes a wine critic's blog...
