FROM THE MIND OF STEVE BAXLEY
By Steve Baxley

I'm Steve Baxley...And I Approve this blog!

>So this is where I was to return to Jackson from my vacation in paradise,but due to spring break and easter, i've rescheduled for the last week of April (26-30) this just happens to be the week of the BILLBOARD LATIN MUSIC AWARDS.

Maybe I can get a ticket?


>Have you visited the blog of The "Morning SHOCK" as I now call fellow blogger Kent Shocknek of KCBS TV,today he has a guest blogger, Morning Traffic stopper Vera Jimenez, not a bad guest blogger .. 4 stars!

>So the men's mag FHM picked their 100 sexiest women and BRITNEY SPEARS is #1???? one question, what the hell were they smoking??,Brittney may be cute, but to me she isnt THAT sexy!

Who is?? well...
Pita Ojeda
Luisa Fernanda
Claudia Trejos
Xiomara Gonzalez

Mindy Burbano-Sterns
Kiki Melendez

As if the FCC and King George II brood havent had enough of shoving puritan
religiousness up our collective rumps,now comes THIS ditty, the FCC now wants to
clean up the daytime soaps!!

Now the same senator who was upset that Mel Karmazin (pres of Viacom)
wont fire Howard Stern,now wants to ..shall we say "Relieve" Infinity of some licenses,
He calls it proving a point, I call it BEING A BULLY!!
*Viacom is the parent company of CBS*

Gee the white house first says Condi Rice DONT have to testify ..NOWWW they change their tune Not ONLY that, but now they want an investigation of moveon.org and other anti-bush organizations...do I hear "Goose-steps" *Sniffs* do i smell FEAR OF THE TRUTH??

Today we welcome a new radio network, AIR AMERICA!! yes friends liberal talk, BUT WITH FUN!!, also Al Gore just bought the cable news net NEWSWORLD INTERNATIONAL
and will be tweeking it to be a more hip youth oriented network

Speaking of hip networks..YAWN

TechTV is now no more, Comcast purchased the network for geeks and plans to merge it with its G4 cable gamers network,already some longtime TechTV shows that
were the foundation of the network have been axed..and some great hosts and crew
have also been given the heave, with more to come obviously!

What is it with California weather, its the same here as it is everywhere else...
so come on weather whizzes, we get the same weather you do,its just that we are USED to it!

More later




THE BACHELLOR IS BACK....pass the barf bag PLEASEEEEE!!!!

FROM THE VACATED MIND OF STEVE BAXLEY
By Steve Baxley

Vacation's all I ever wanted, Vacation got to get away!! -GO-GOs


OK, so it's been a year since KING GEORGE II went to Iraq,and lets see whats been
accomplished:

500 Soliders killed by Iraqi's who STILL rather have saddam lead them..
Osama is STILL at large
Meanwhile Spain got a visit from Al Quedia,and THAT was on the eve of their elections
which interestingly enough, was won by socialists and GB's pal who WAS the leader, is now looking for employment.
The NEW spanish president meanwhile announced that he is pulling troups from IRAQ
AND ..
you know that flight suit he wore to that photo op.. Clothes made IN BURMA!! BURRRRRMMMAAA!! not america, BURMA!!

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED??...NOPE!

And this little ditty..
March 29th King George II is closer to turning yet another part of the consitution into
toilet paper,thats when Congress votes on the big indecency law which a whole lotta
folks, from many unions and the ACLU deem VERY UNCONSITUTIONAL if passage!

Should KING GEORGE II sign it, a WHOLE lotta folks from On Air talent in radio/TV and Performers including those controlled by Clear Channel will be silent, and that also goes for alot of future talents too.

Hey..I didnt vote for him, YOU ALL DID!


On to lighter stuff...

Been riveted by the blogging style of KCBS TV Morning Achor legend THE Kent Shockneck,now for those who DONNNNNT know, "Shocks" is a legendary newsanchor
who used to work for KNBC, in fact he kicked KCBS' arse many times! then KCBS got "the Shocks" for KCBS' morning news show..and its been manna! his blog is fresh and very wickedly thoughtful..to see it go to http://www.cbs2.com and hit his face.

Now for those lucky to have a dish, you can enjoy KCBS TV on channel 244..
I enjoy the newscast very much, maybe its because I love Lisa Joyner, I still remember her with John Melichar on the late lamented COMEDY WORLD RADIO NETWORK talking about the oscars I called in and god that voice of hers just melted my ...uh can someone get a mop please..my heart just melted!

Speaking of heart melters...that Vera Jimenez is a real traffic stopper,her personality is just extactic!

And Suzanne Rico, is the swizzle stick that stirs the drink of the fermosa that is CBS2 NEWS THIS MORNING



Now for the other side of the coin...

WHAT IS KTLAs JEFF WALD THINKING!!!????

For those whom have not a winky as to what im talking about,apparently some L.A. media scribes are saying that the gang at TRIBUNE decided to follow the cult sci-fi flick "LOGANS RUN" and send everyone to "Carrousel" except KTLAs version its those OVER 40 who are to be invited...
Gone is venerable sports anchor/director TONY HERNANDEZ,now the big question is ...
WHOSE NEXT!!!!???, They touch Sam,Carlos or ANY of the morning/10pm news guys and Jennifer york...I'll ban KTLA from my viewing!

Today's Fashion Deja Vu award..
De Mananita host (and my lady) Pita Ojeda wore a VERY lovely low cut dress with
roses all over it and bouncy blonde shoulder length hair...on the left side of the brain
that is California, Singer and actress (and poster child for a drug free america) Courtney Love was wearing A low cut dress with roses all over it and bouncy
shoulder length hair...only difference is ON PITA IT WORKED!!!

FROM THE MIND OF STEVE BAXLEY
By Steve Baxley

THE DIRECTORS CUT DVD SPECIAL EDITION


"Fuck the FCC, Fuck 'em!!" - Al Lewis "Grandpa" from "THE MUNSTERS"

>Well, My buddy Doug turned another year older,and yet I get slammed on his blog!
So I just sent him a e-card,hope he likes it!,As for why I forgot,lets just say I had
other things on my mind and it just went down hill..

>Adolf Hitler Bush is one step closer from totally silencing of ALL Free Speech,and Free
form Radio/TV and creativity, the house today passed the big indecency bill which now
levies fines of up to $500,000 on radio/TV stations, PLUS it also fines the preformer
major scratch as well... Satellite Radio or Internet radio may be the last baston of
free speech, BUSH MUST BE STOPPED NOW!!!

>Later skates!

FROM THE MIND OF STEVE BAXLEY
By Steve Baxley


Outta my mind...

>Dish network just pulled the plug on VIACOM networks like Nickelodeon,TV Land..but Spike still remains on..Teh MTV and Comedy Central channels are also off, BUT I STILL GET MY KCBS!..Glee!!!

Is it just me or....

>Are Vera Jimenez,Suzanne Rico,and Lisa Joyner becoming more and more
Los Angeles' morning traffic Stoppers as well as heart melters??

>Has KTTV finally begun to worry about how BIGGGGG Jillian Barbarie has
become,and hows it is affecting their morning show ??
and with the new broadcast rules ,have we seen the end of Jill's NFL
FOX show??

>Are we all about ready to strangle Ryan Seacrest if he continues with that
annoying "SEACREST OUT!" sign off??? talk about being full of yourself?

>Just as I am getting ready for my trip to FLA, I break my already broken tooth..
so I got to call a dentist and hope they can do the root canal before I leave.

>More later

FROM THE MIND OF STEVE BAXLEY
By Steve Baxley

>Its another Manic Monday,all bow down to the total waste!

>2 weeks and this guy is winging his way to F-L-A! I'll be taking my tape recorder
and doing an audio version of Micheal Palin's travel specials, I call this one
"WHEN STEVE MET PITA!" as well as taking photos too... enjoy the results!

>So,martha Stewart was found guilty of 4 counts, and now you got the whole damn
world ...well at least those who REALLY care posting on message boards as well as
other boards crying their eyes out,but already the destruction has begun.
Her show is surely cancelled after Viacom stations in the big 3 cities dumped her, and
you KNOW the food network will be next, her stock is down the toilet as well,and
lets not forget KMART..Martha remember DONT DROP THE SOAP.

>Is it just me, or is Howard Stern REALLY the future saviour of creativity and free
speech on radio??? for me it will always be STEVE DAHL!, but i'm not one to
nit pick!

>So my dish network is pulling off the air all things owned by VIACOM from BET to CBS and Comedy Central,but heres the rub, it ONLY effects just the O&O cities (N.YC.,L.A.,CHI..etc..) those outside or whom dont even live in the cities affected STILL
get the channels..heheheheheh.

>Well, the top of my wisdom tooth has come out, the rest of the tooth is still there,so guess what, its ROOT CANAL TIME!!! hopefully it wont stop my trip.

>Just saw the 3rd season preem of FX's "THE SHEILD" ...not bad at all!

>Later Skates!

EDITORIAL..
Here is CEO Of Creative Sanity Productions
Steve Baxley

Good Evening:
It seems that the politically correct gestapo have finally succeeded in doing
what we all feared would be done 20 years ago,QUASH CREATIVITY AND FREEDOM.

Feburary 2 2004, a date which will live in infamy, on that date Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake created a moment of live television that not only shocked the nation, but it has now caused a tremendous upheaval in the boardrooms of all TV and Radio.

When Timberlake showed the world Janet's breasts during the halftime of the superbowl,it was a millisecond that shocked the nation and has caused teh politically correct gestapo to go into their own protest and created a nazi like climate where free thought is no longer accepted.

When The House Subcommittee under orders by the FCC dragged in Mel Karmazin of Viacom and Paul tagliabue of the No Fun League, you knew after the verbal spanking they got from the senate subcom on telecomunications that it wouldnt be long before the PC gestapo would have a field day.. and then it came ...CLEAR CHANNEL COMMUNICATIONS, which is a MAJOR donator to King George II's presidency,proved how much of a lap dog they were and caved under pressure after the FCC fined Clear Channel $755,000 which during their spanking at the subcom's where they announced that they would pay the fine, they then announced a "Code of Conduct" to all jocks at their stations (mainly voice tracked) and began to clean up their house or BE FIRED!
to proe it,they fired "Bubba the Love Sponge",then they took Howard Stern off the air on 6 of their stations after HE violated CC rules.

And after the bitch-slapping HE took Viacom head Mel Karmazin called all his minons at his Infinity Radio stations and gave them the edict "CLEAN UP OR BE FIRED!", and now the noose is getting tighter as MORE fines are expected FROM 2 to 3 years ago..and the target ..HOWARD STERN!

And Howard isnt the only one feeling the heat,sources at the FCC say that some BIG fines are coming down the pike,and are targetting BOTH Stern and Chicago based Mancow

Yes friends, it looks like the freedom of speech an dthought and creativeness is now about to be stifiled by the religious right lead by a womanizing drunk who bought off the 2000 Presidental election,lead us to an illegal invaision of a country whose dictator
his father not only helped achieve power, but gave him the weapons to battle IRAN with,and now uses the world trade center destruction as a re-election campaign,and has turned the consitution into a joke

Time for all of us to stand up and say "NO MORE YEARS" to an ineffectual president
before its too late.
