THIS IS NO YOLK!
Well, you used to.
For myself, I looked forward to the zany antics Mr. Bulleit brings to morning broadcasts- especially since they ditched that ditsy Abby Miller and jolly Paul Moses, and replaced them with a corpse- like John Boel.
I don’t care much for John Boel. Especially when he was so smug and arrogant and condescending during his anchoring of the evening news on WLKY. Of course, that was before he got arrested and demoted.
I’ll give WLKY credit, they did report their anchor’s arrest and even ran his mugshot. But, I’m going to guess they’re co-owned by F.A.D.D. (formerly against drunk driving), because Boel’s punishment for endangering innocent lives was to be moved to the morning newscast.
That was when I was horrified at the lack of response to Page Grable’s murder of a classmate while drunk driving and the lack of response to a former drunk driver running for the Jeffersonville City Court Judge.
My point is that when I was in High School, MADD was enraged and preaching the evils of drunk driving with all the zealousness of a Sunday revival. But, Page Grable was released less than a year after murdering someone with her deadly weapon/car. And now we have John zomBoe, who, admittedly, didn’t kill anyone, but was nonetheless taking risks with other people’s lives and was merely moved to a different time slot.
But what has this got to do with the lovable buffoon Jim Bulleit?
This of course isn’t SADD (Somewhat Against Drunk Driving)’s fault. It isn’t John “One for the Road” Boel’s fault.
No, I blame it on society. The same society that voted an admitted drug using, no-experience, possibly-illegal alien into the White House on a bunch of empty promises. We have some pretty mixed up priorities in this country, and if we keep on going like this, we’re going to end up with egg on our face.

…not only will we have egg on our face, well……..I hope we still have a country to be able to think such terrible things about.
It is sad that a Great Nation was founded upon moral principles and yet, over time, immoral peoples have invited evil into its bed.
The sadder part is knowing that those who are guilty of such sin have no clue as to their own undoings.
But, I don’t watch 32 anymore anyhow……..Fox41 seems the most unbiased, tho’ I do miss Danger Boy.
An update to this story, I found Jim Bulleit’s rebuttal, via the villevoice.com:

Yeah, well, you’re little “egg on our face” prediction turned out to be prophetic. Two days after this post was published, Ron Mclure Jr came out with one involving the gaffes of our president and his, uh…secretary. Nice political soothsaying.
