One Drunk Redneck

One my preferred pronoun. Drunk my preferred first name. Redneck my preferred last name. "Hey you!" works too. Sorry, no book to sell nor podcast to download. Oh yeah. I'm a patriot, husband, father, grandfather, uncle, great uncle, nephew, cousin, cousin 1st thru nth removed. Probably great-grandfather or close to it. I don't hug people so why should I hug trees?

Interview with One Drunk Redneck

Approximate Read Time: 18 mins Sarah Hayes: Good evening, everyone, and welcome to "The Evening Spotlight," where we dive deep into the issues that matter most. I'm your host, Sarah Hayes, and tonight we have a special guest joining us in the studio. Please give a warm welcome to One Drunk Redneck, candidate for the 2024 presidential election. Welcome to the show, One Drunk Redneck. One Drunk Redneck: Thanks for having me, Sarah. Pleasure to be here. Sarah: It's great to have you. Let's jump right in, shall we? Your recent speeches have focused heavily on the theme of individual rights and privacy, particularly in the context of medical decisions. Could you elaborate on your vision for what you've called the "Medical Bill of Rights"? One Drunk Redneck: Certainly, Sarah. The old mantra, "my body, my decision" means exactly what it says. When it comes to any medical decisions, the individual gets to make the final decision, hopefully w

The Sexual Hang-ups of Mayor Jim Ireton

August 14, 2013

The law is fairly simple. A business is defined as an "adult store" if more than 20% of its floor space, sales, and product inventory consists of adult merchandise. When the Red Light District Romantic Superstore opened for business at 521 North Salisbury Boulevard, in Salisbury, MD, the owners applied for a permit to put signage on the store. According to William Holland, director of building, permits, and inspections, the Red Light District Romantic Superstore does not meet the definition of an adult store and so has not approved the signage because of what the name implies. Mayor Jim Ireton jumped in the fray. On Monday, Aug 12th, WBOC News reported that Mayor Ireton planned on sending city representatives to inspect the store to ensure it is in compliance with the adult store definition, otherwise the store is not even allowed to legally open. Mayor Ireton, apparently, does not believe his director of building, permits, and inspections claim that the st

The right to be left alone

February 06, 2024

Are we social bees? Social ants? Neither. Unlike the bees and the ants, we are born into our human society with no predetermined roles or expectations. We are not social bees nor are we social ants. We're social ain'ts. "I ain't going to do that." "Government ain't going to do this." "Our society ain't going to accept any of it." Our whole nation was built on the concept that the individual comes first, not the society. Society, after all, can only be as strong as its weakest link. Give the individual the equal opportunity to be the best they can be, then society will grow to the best it can be. Start governing instead of leading and the individual will fall short of being the best they can be, and society will fall short of being the best it can be. The Bill of Rights and all the subsequent amendments written after the acceptance of our Constitution detail the rights of the individual, rights that the government cannot infri

Crank (aka Andrew Murr, aka Andrew Martin) returns after a year absence

It's been a bit over a year, but Crank has returned to the radio. He's not Crank. He's not Andrew Murr. No, he comes to us this time as Andrew Martin. You can find Andrew Martin (aka Andrew Murr, aka Crank) over on WXCY New Country on 103.7 FM out of Havre de Grace, MD. Ok, so Crank has gone country to that foreign nation west of the Bay. Dang, he was near his ten year mark of being able to claim himself as a Delmarvan, but he couldn't hang. If he ever comes back, which isn't advisable, it'd take him another ten years before maybe he'll be accepted. Ok, all joking aside. Yes, Crank has been absent from the radio waves for the last year and, no, we have no clue where he was flipping burgers during that time. We assume he was flipping burgers because, based on his expressed sentiments during his WZBH years, he most certainly wasn't collecting unemployment. If you take a gander at his bio over there on his new station, you&#

I'm Not Getting a COVID Vaccine...

Estimated read time: 11 minutes ...and I don't have to tell you why Ok, I'll be honest. By the time I finish writing this article, I might hop in my car and go get a shot. I might wait until tomorrow. Or next week. Or next fall. There's a thought. When I get a flu shot next fall, I'll kill two birds with one stone and get the COVID shot, too. At this point, the experts don't know if the COVID vaccine provides a lifetime of protection or if we'll need to have an annual booster shot like we do for the flu, so what's the rush to get a shot right now? For the last year, we've been told to stay six feet apart, avoid crowds, wash hands, and wear a mask. The experts usually get the order of importance wrong and stress wearing a mask, first, and then add the other three cautions as an after thought - but the first three rules are rules I have always lived by and believe everyone should live by...every day...pandemic or no pandemic. Who wants a stran

Talbot Boys Isn't Honoring The Confederacy

Estimated read time: 10 minutes Maryland's comptroller, Peter Franchot, once again inserted himself in the Talbot Boys debate. He lives on the other side of The Bridge, yet he insists on sticking his nose in Talbot's business. On his FaceBook page, he posted a history revisionist's version of what the Talbot Boys is all about. Below is my reply. "Anyone who has followed my career and my social media accounts knows that Talbot County is one of my favorite places in all of Maryland," wrote Peter Franchot in an opening sentence on his FaceBook page. He then launched into an ill-informed tirade against the Talbot Boys monument in Easton, MD. Maybe the handful of family and friends who have followed his career know Talbot County is one of his favorite places. The rest of us know he's an outsider who has lived a lackluster political career . For born and raised Eastern Shore residents, we scratch our heads wondering why outsiders from the other s

Grumplin Dictates New COVID-19 Restrictions

As COVID-19 liberally spreads itself into every nook and cranny of our world and our lives, we've had to learn new terms and put them to good use to slow the spread of the pandemic. "Social distancing." What the heck is that? Being friends via Skype or something? No. We learned it is the practice of maintaining a distance of six feet from each other to slow the spread of the coronavirus. I did my part. Early on I shut down all travel coming into the barnyard and zoo grounds. I started social distancing long before those do-nothing chickens and sloths on the left learned what the word, pandemic, meant. My actions saved thousands...maybe millions...of lives. And me and my wife...we sleep in separate bedrooms. She insisted on it during these trying times. But I can't stop the spread alone. I need your help. A month ago I directed my son-in-law to lead a task force exploring how social distancing could impact the spread of COVID-19 and any repercussio

Susan Monday: The Fighter Remains?

SuMo's Twitter avatar ...vacation pic or her future destination? The rumors will fly.... For long time listeners of WXDE 105.9 Talk Radio out of Milford, DE, Susan Monday has been a voice of reason over the years and endeared herself to many across Delmarva. Monday through Friday, SuMo, as her loyal listeners and fans called her, both challenged and entertained us. She was always there for three or four hours each day. For awhile, she even manned the mic on a split shift. She was our cup of coffee for two hours in the morning, breaking for an hour at noon so we could catch up on the news, then she was our afternoon tea and biscuits for two more hours. Her shows inspired, riled, entertained, and motivated us. In fact, many of the articles on this blog were a result of her show segments. Everything from The Sexual Hang-ups of Mayor Jim Ireton to Transformation Comes With a Price and Delmar Weather Guys to The Talbot Boys (bunch of articles related to o

Susan Monday moving on up

Susan Monday, our local talk show radio host and honorary Drunk Redneck (whether she wanted the title or not) is moving on up - and not just to the east side, but statewide and then some. Her show, The Susan Monday Show , still airs live out of Lewes, DE on WXDE 105.9 Talk Radio 9:00 am until noon, but is also simulcast on sister station WDEL 105.7 (FM) and WDEL 1150 (AM) . Susan Monday can now be heard all over Delaware as well as parts of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. Susan Monday, or SuMo as her fans call her, earned her promotion and larger listening area. No more dollar menu for Ms. Monday. She's moving on up to the exec menu! Oh golly gee, maybe I should refer to her as Ms. Monday out of respect for her accomplishments. Ok, Ms. Monday earned her promotion and larger listening area. If you are a radio talk show listener, and even if you're not, go ahead and cruise your radio dial. You'll be bombarded with cardboard caricat

Delmar Weather Guys

Estimated read time: 10 minutes I don't recall exactly how I learned about the Delmar Weather Guys. In fact, I don't know if the three high school students who built and maintained the Delmar_Weather social media platforms referred to themselves as the Delmar Weather Guys, but it was a nickname I adopted for them whenever I shared their predictions on my social media platforms. I learned of them about four years ago. Mr. Seymore started the Delmar_Weather page back in 2010. (If you love nostalgia, you can still visit his original Facebook page .) Through social media and a shared love for weather (the three didn't go to high school together), Hunter Outten and Kyle eventually joined the page about a year later to become the group I colloquially referred to as the Delmar Weather Guys. Yes, Kyle has a last name, but I'll be danged if I remember it. As of this writing, Kyle has not responded by email to contribute to this article. Don't read too much into t

Alien Code

September 06, 2018

Estimated read time: 7 minutes Every once in awhile a movie comes along that leaves you scratching your head. It has to be good because days later, you're still scratching your head trying to make sense of what you saw. When I was a kid, two movies had me scratching my head and, over forty years later, I'm still scratching my head. I don't care how much you might think you understand 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) or A Clockwork Orange (1971), I bet you still scratch your head over some parts of those movies. Alien Code joins the ranks of these head scratching classics. If you like your science fiction movies with aliens made realistic with expert makeup or special effects pulled off with state of the art CGI, Alien Code is not for you. The aliens look like slimmed down aliens I've seen in Twilight Zone (" To Serve Man ") and Lost in Space (" Invaders from the Fifth Dimension "). An explosion is depicted as a freeze flash of red l

Jury reform may have a sympathetic ear in a genuine statesman

August 20, 2017

A few weeks ago, I met with Delegate Adams to talk about my ideas for jury reform. For everyone who has been following my saga of jury reform for the last two years or so, yes, meeting with Delegate Adams is a big deal. I admit, I'm remiss on knowing who all of my elected officials are. It's a good day for me if I remember my boss's name and can put that name to the right face. Apparently Delegate Adams won the 2014 midterm elections since he assumed his current role in Jan 2015. I vote in every election so most likely I voted for him because I didn't know anything about any of the candidates running that year and party line voting is what I usually do when I know nothing of the candidates on the ballot. Not a drunk redneck, but still a native Eastern Shore man Now that I know who he is, please allow me to introduce him. Delegate Adams is a born and raised Eastern Shore man. That might explain why sitting down and talking with him in a Dun

Where Did Susan Monday Go?

For Susan Monday listeners and fans, SuMo (as they affectionately call her) has been conspicuously absent from the WXDE 105.9 Talk Radio lineup. One day she's there. The next she's gone. No one dared speak her name. It's as if the new station owners wanted her wiped clean from everyone's memories. Since writing Goodbye to WXDE , the owners in Pennsylvania sold the station to Lord knows who and who really cares anyway. I stand by everything I wrote in that article. WXDE has become another divisive talk platform for racists and bigots and nothing more. That's one of the reasons why I don't link the station. Sumo didn't belong in the new mix. She didn't earn the title of Honorary Drunk Redneck because she fit a mold the station or her listeners wanted her to fit. Did she quit before the station gets any uglier than it has? Was she let go because she was the round peg that didn't fit into the square hole? Did she move on to bigger and be

Are you a hole in your community's leaky bucket?

When our business leaders, planners, and politicians look at ways to revitalize local towns and rural areas, the usual proposed solutions are to find ways to bring more money into the community. Typical approaches to bringing in money involve promoting tourism, agriculture, corporate relocations and other forms of inward investments. What is often overlooked is the important concept of money flow within the community. Think of your local economy as a bucket and bringing in money to your community is like pouring water in the bucket. The bucket is going to have some holes in it and some of the water will leak out. Some of the holes can’t be fixed so you will always have a leaky bucket. The state and federal government will collect taxes, for example. Those are holes that can’t be fixed. The idea of the leaky bucket illustrates the importance of money flow through a community. The more holes in the bucket, the more frequently the community needs to refill the bucket (bring in

Correction: We Lost Susan Monday Again

September 03, 2019

Earlier today I posted an article stating Susan Monday can now be found on WGMD 92.7. Turns out, I was wrong. In my haste and excitement at the possibility of SuMo's return, I jumped to a wrong conclusion. I did not read her tweet carefully enough nor verified the information with her before reporting what I thought I knew. I offer my sincere apologies to Ms. Monday and to my readers I misled. Verifying one's facts before publishing a story is basic Journalism 101 and sound journalistic ethics. Just because I'm a drunk redneck pundit is no excuse to ignore the basics. As Ms. Monday explained in the comment section of my original article, she was a guest speaker on WGMD for one day: If you happened to catch her show the other day, I reckon it wouldn't hurt to let WGMD know how much you enjoyed SuMo and hope to hear more of her on the station. Looking at the WGMD lineup, there's at least two time slots she could easily fill...three if you count the clo
