From the Jake Barlow Talk Show
JAKE BARLOW: Okay. Okay. Here we go! All sorts of things we can
talk about. Wanting-and waiting-to hear from you on WLRB, your talk
radio with your loudmouthed host Jake Barlow ready to take you on.
Ready. Willing. And able! All kinds of things going on. We can talk
about that demonstration in Washington. I don't know about that.
I don't know. Bunch of
Hey, what do you think about that point-shaving
scandal over at that university in the Midwest? Come on, guys, is
that an education or what? Then there's the president, who's said
he would be an education president. But he's got his work cut out
for him. I'm telling you because here's a bit of a story, that came
in over the wires. Now, listen up! This is America. I mean it! WLRB
asking youJake Barlow asking youwhat you think of this.
Now, remember, I'm not making this up. None of it. I', reading
it!
"KICKED OUT OF SCHOOL FOR PATRIOTISM."
Right. You heard me correct. "KICKED OUT OF SCHOOL FOR PATRIOTISM."
But you ain't heard nothing yet. Listen to this!
"Harrison, New Hampshire."
Where in the world is Harrison? In the United States? In
America? Listen up, New Hampshire. All their auto plates read "Live
free of die." Well, something died, because this is what is
going on there right now! Here it is. The whole story. Right in
the morning news. I'm just quoting.
"A tenth grader was suspended from his local school because
he sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" during the school's
morning exercises. The boy, Philip Malloy, who wished to sing in
the spirit of patriotism, was then forced to remain home alone,
since both his parents work. English teacher Margaret Narwin, who
brought about the suspension, maintains the boy was making a nuisance
of himself."
Would you believe it? Would you believe it. Okay, this is WLRB,
all talk-radio. Take a short break, then come right back to talk
about whatever you want. Man, but I'm telling you: what's happening
to this country!
