BOCC Meeting
Tuesday morning at 9:00am, at the County Center in downtown Tampa.
The Hillsborough Board of County Commissioners is scheduled to discuss the public nudity ordinance at 2:30pm. A group of Baptists calling itself Citizens for Decency is agitating for a law making it a crime to disrobe within the borders of Hillsborough County. Seriously.
Nudaphobe Commissioner Ronda Storms is leading the discussion, so it should be a lively one. Go to the meeting and make your voice heard. If you wish to speak on this or any other agenda item, you must sign in before the meeting starts. View this PDF file for all the information you need.
Today on MorningWood
More blogging on the radio: comments and insights rants on news and events.
I’ve got a lot to say about Hillsborough County’s new school choice program. A blog entry will be coming soon, but I may give a sneak preview on MorningWood if I can get organized. In a nutshell, the program, which is designed to replace integration through forced busing, seems to be transferring urban youth into failing inner-city schools. As I said, more on this to come.
So, if Hillsborough County is backsliding toward segregation, where is the NAACP? Almost invisible in many parts of the Tampa area, says the SP Times.
And I may read highlights from this week’s BlogWood entries, and perhaps some posts form other blogs as well. You never know - it’s live radio. Stay tuned.
Oh, and a bonus for BlogWood readers today: I wont be playing this song, due to the fact that I’m scared of the FCC. I’m talking “dirty” words here. Fuck shit piss etc. The FCC relaxes the rules between 10pm and 6am, and my show obviously falls into that window, but I’m still scared of that control freak and right wing tool Michael Powell. The FCC could effectively bankrupt a station like WMNF with one hefty fine.
So this song is too much, in my opinion, even though I play plenty of shit with bad fucking language in it all the time.
Fuck the FCC. Oh, and downlod this song! (Right click and “save target as...” to save it forever on your own computer!)
Playlists
Each week, I bring my planned songs in on CD. I usually end up playing most or all of them in the planned order. But sometimes things go askew. Sorry - no guarantees or refunds.
