Crime Pays

Thumbnail image for Crime Pays by heathhater November 6, 2009

Brian Heath had court today.  Very disappointing.  500 hours community service and 3 years probation.  What i want to know is why the so called “investigation” was not investigated!  Bonneville County looked at the tip of the iceberg.  Why weren’t the victims of the husband and wife theft team contacted?  When could we have let OUR voice be heard?

Insane Clown Posse Show Cancelled… Discussion Imminent.

Thumbnail image for Insane Clown Posse Show Cancelled… Discussion Imminent. by Alice November 5, 2009

I just read in the PR that the Insane Clown Posse concert has been canceled.
My first reaction was not surprise, it was actually a smirk while I recalled a similar concert held a couple of years ago by a band called Kottonmouth Kings. That concert, by a band (IMO) whose sole purpose is to promote [...]

Watch and be amazed at the red tape and bureaucracy city council member Karen Cornwell creates.   Unfortunately for us the taxpayers, we continue to support unnecessary encroachments of government.

With all the attention “Non- Partisan” politics has gotten in Idaho Falls since the Bonneville County Republican Central Committee voted 23 to 3 for the option to endorse candidates in city races, I did some research. What I found was very enlightening.
I did some research on the history of “non-partisan” politics in Idaho. The following [...]

Local Television Station KIFI TV8 has reported that Habib Sadid has been fired from Idaho State University. There appears to be some controversy with the firing, as a Faculty Appeals Board said there was not enough evidence for the termination.

The local political chatter around here and town sure seems quite. Aside from a few campaign signs here and there for the various city council races, you wouldn’t guess that an election is just around the corner.

Addicted to Abortion

Thumbnail image for Addicted to Abortion by Neal Larson October 16, 2009

Recently on my radio show I discussed a woman, Irene Vilar, who has had fifteen abortions over seventeen years.
Every pregnancy, it appears, was to rebel against her much older husband who did not want children. She would deliberately “forget” to take the pill. Vilar actually had two children who survived her so-called addiction and made [...]

Twice in the last few days I’ve heard a radio advertisement on KUPI 99 that goes something like this:
We’re KUPI 99. What makes us better than the other guys?
