Things are putting a damper on the Festival of Light Parade in the mainly Mormon town of Preston, Idaho. November 25 was to be a joyous day when the extras who “stared” in Napoleon Dynamite where to be the headline attractions at the annual parade. The city fathers and merchants expected all 500 residents (includes horses) to come out to the parade. But now there is a damper on the event.

How sad that the former Chief of Police has been declared “a crooked cop” by the local court. He was sentenced to 1-5 years in whatever they call a jail up that way.

Even worse, the State of Idaho Attorney General is mad at the former Mayor of Preston. It seems the former mayor billed Preston twice for a $1300 expenditure on a trip to Washington, D.C. The AG thinks that was $1300 too much. You can’t fool our AG with such shenanigans. He cares about small-town idaho.

Being an old fuddy-duddy, I had never heard of Napoleon Dynamite. I went to: http://www2.foxsearchlight.com/napoleondynamite/.

I first learned that there is a fan club of over 150,000 members. It must be important, I thought.

I realized that the Foxsearchlight site had nothing to do with the network. It is the focus of the Fox Store. They reported that a DVD was or would soon be available for $19.95.

They also provided this useful information:

Actors: Jon Heder, Jon Gries, Aaron Ruell, Efren Ramirez, Tina Majorino, Haylie Duff, Diedrich Bader;

Director: Jared Hess

Never heard of 'em!

Cancel the parade!

1. A Chat with Saddam
He never did say why he chose to call me, but for the past few months I have enjoyed some rather lively chats with Saddam. He said he has been wanting to speak to America and the rest of the world and he should only have to call one of us. He said he could have published his thoughts on the Internet, but he prefers the give and take of conversation. Our early conversations were personal enough, Saddam did not want them recorded or published, so I agreed to keep that between us. The transcript t…

2. The Politics of Torture
When the now-infamous photographs of Iraqi prisoners being sexually humiliated at the hands of U.S. military police were made public, reaction was nearly unanimous: disgust and outrage that the U.S. military were abusing prisoners at the same prison Saddam Hussein used to torture Iraqis. President George W. Bush, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, and others in the Bush administration quickly condemned the photographs, with Bush promising an investigation. In his May 15 radio address, Bush sa…

4. Donating Political Radio Advertising
At the end of each political season the powers in congress always suggest that the airways, being owned by the citizens and monitored by the Federal Communications Commission, ought to be free for candidates to broadcast their message. As a twenty year radio station veteran and general manager, I can say with certainty that chaos is already created every campaign cycle with the insistence that radio stations charge the candidates the lowest rate (aka: political rate) on the rate card. This rate …
