If you live in the Louisville metropolitan area, there’s a good chance you know who Jim "Danger Boy" Bulleit is. There’s a chance that you watch his wacky morning newscasts on WLKY-32.

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.

Yeah, that whacky Boel decided to do him some drunk driving.

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.

Oh, the humanity! Not the morning newscast! Why am I going on about this now? Well, once before, I commented on how no one really seems to get MADD anymore about drunks.

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?

Well, Bulleit was arrested after allegedly pocketing four candy eggs. For that, he gets taken off the air. No one could have died from his theft. Heck, no one could have even suffered malnutrition. But he’s off.

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.
