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 ...

SuMo isn't just a Monday thing

In every crowd there has to be one oddball. That rule holds true with us five drunk rednecks. We all more or less agree that most radio talk show hosts are shills for one group or other and almost all ended up on the radio because they couldn't get a real job. Sort of along the lines of "those who can, do; those who can't, teach", radio talk show hosts can be defined as "those who can, work; those who can't grab a mic and talk about it." So who is the oddball in our group? Yup, the one who writes 99% of everything you read - me. The other four don't bother themselves with talk radio because they don't want to be bothered with the conservative vs liberal bs, the religious vs atheist make believe, the facts vs conspiracy fiction tales, the "intellectual" vs the "low information" crowd, the...well, you get the picture. I, on the other hand, dabble in talk radio just for the fun of it. This past month and a half, I...

Jury Reform Proposed Changes

September 05, 2016

In a previous post , I stated we need jury selection reform. The process, as is, treats every prospective juror as a criminal before the prospective juror has even balked at serving. The initial summons is sent with ample warning that failure to comply could result in fines and possible jail time. Just how receptive should our government people expect a prospective juror to be when right off the bat they are sternly warning and threatening the prospective juror with fines and jail time? And since the summons is sent regular mail, how can the government people threaten a prospective juror with fines and jail time when they don't even know the prospective juror received the summons? Business 101: don't threaten a customer with the first contact. Offer them options. That is a lesson almost every government employee didn't pay attention to in their Business 101 class. Since the days when our Founding Fathers wrote our Constitution, society has changed...

Poopy Pants, the Child Molester

Editor's note: Adam Wolf , a comedian in Texas, had been persistent in bringing this story to light...and he was making no jokes about it. After a few comments of his, I decided to dig into his claims to see if what he was saying were true. Adam was much too kind in his remarks. Poopy Pants, the child molester is a real monster. Ok, admit it. You have a list of entertainers and public figures that you refuse to let in your home. No, I don't mean personally. I mean nothing they have ever endorsed or produced comes in your home and if they happen to sneak in through the radio or TV, you immediately change channels. For you, something they said or did was so far over the line that you don't want to financially reward them nor want your friends and family to think you have no problem with their public antics. I've been around for a few decades and I have two such public figures on my list. In spot number two sits Linda Ronstadt. ...

Somewhere...at the end of the rainbow

Washington denizens got it wrong. The well worn path plowing straight ahead only digs us deeper into a grave. Judy got it wrong. Over the rainbow is a directionless path with no particular place to go. Yes, Shadow, over there where no one has gone before. To the end of the rainbow. To where peace and prosperity prevail. At the end of the purple arc, that's where we need to go. For your listening pleasure Posted by One Drunk Redneck

The colors of deception

January 04, 2026

Label: Experimental Theme: Self-deception Title: The colors of deception When you came into this world, you were born with a clean slate. Or so they say. That's the first lie written on your slate, scribbled in bashful beige. Not exactly a lie; not exactly deception; not exactly misdirection. But it lies somewhere along the spectrum of lies, a spectrum colored in shades of brown from bashful beige to blackened brown. With your first breath, everyone and everything rushes to your clean slate. A fresh board to scribble on, and scribble they do. Their scribbles are writing the Book of Life. Your life. The life you are destined to lead. Or so they believe. That's the second lie scribbled in tawny tan. Not exactly a lie, but certainly misdirection. Mom and Dad are first to scribble on your clean slate. Mostly they write in plush pink or tranquil turquoise. Calming and reassuring, they set your stage. ...

Open Season on Cats

Judge Milian of the People's Court issued a bonehead decision. She wins Bonehead of the Month, which puts her in the running for Bonehead of the Year. She can relax, though. I'm sure Trump will win Bonehead of the Year hands down. The case she ruled on revolved around a cat that "accidentally got out of the house," as the sweet little old lady claimed, and jumped into the neighbor's fenced in yard. The neighbor's dog attacked the intruding cat, killing it. The sweet little old lady, who wasn't so sweet once she began talking, claimed her neighbor owed her a new cat. The dog owner countersued for the almost four hundred bucks he owed in vet bills after the attack. Judge Milian ruled against the plaintiff saying the neighbor's dog was in its fenced in yard and wasn't roaming free. She then ruled against the neighbor's countersuit saying there are no cat leash laws so the cat was simply another animal in the yard. The plaintiff can...

"covfefe" was nothing compared to his earlier blunder

After taking a nine day hiatus from tweeting, Trump, our so-called president, returned from his European trip of embarrassing America to embarrass himself on Twitter. Simply embarrassing. Ok, maybe flippancy isn't the way to make a point, but how can anyone take the hoopla made over Trump's tweet seriously, the tweet where he invented a new word, covfefe? After all, Trump, himself, tweeted a joke about it the next morning. “Who can figure out the true meaning of ‘covfefe’??? Enjoy!” he tweeted. That evening, Hillary Clinton followed Trump's joke with one of her own. "People in covfefe houses shouldn't throw covfefe," she tweeted in response to Trump's tweet denigrating her for blaming everyone except herself for her presidential bid loss. In all the media's kerfuffle over "covfefe," they missed his tweets from two days earlier. On Sunday morning, about eight o'clock, Trump tweeted: His first tweet announces his arrival...

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 Gu...

Bubba Joe Crowley Applies For a White House Job

Bubba Joe Crowley Second House Past the Oak Tree Crowley's Bend, TN 38008 President Donald Trump The White House Washington, DC Dear Esteemed "The" Donald Trump: I'd be honored to join your administration to "Make America Great Again." I be exactly what this country needs to git the job done. It's goin to take more than cinderblocks and duck tape to make America great again, but I'm handy with both those tools and don't mind gittin my hands dirty. I'm includin my resume for your consideration. I ain't got no Ivory League School qualifications you might be looking for, but what did those schools ever produce anyways? Sure, they make a good soap that floats in the tub, but my Grandmaw's been makin floatin soap since before I was born. It had to float. If it didn't, it gits lost in the mud when you drop it. My Great-Grandmaw invented floatin soap long before those Ivory League Schools did. ...

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 t...

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 othe...

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 b...

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 fre...

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...

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 ...

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 m...

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 ...
