Tampa Lez Top Cop To de Rescue

Honest to God some folks will grasp at anything of de gay to make a claim or prove a point.

Enter Lynette Mae, self-described police officer and writer.

In a piece at Huff Post she gives all the credit to a mostly orderly little event recently held in Tampa to the city's police chief.

Not because Jane Castor and her staff did a good job in prevailing right over wrong, keeping things orderly and serving justice when it needed to be served.

No not because of these things but .. hold on to your pantyhose boys and girls .... because Chief of Police Jane Castor is a lesbian.

Go ahead kids go get that drink .. I made a cup of coffee before writing this.

I submit to you that Tampa had a secret weapon, more powerful than any well-armed force, ultra-rich conservatives, or devious anarchist hell bent on destruction and violence to incite the masses. Tampa has L-Chief.

All righty then.

I'm sure Ms. Castor will be glad to know, according to Ms. Mae, the redeeming quality in which Ms. Castor does a good job is because of her sexual identity.

Michelangelo Signorile Cub Reporter

Mikey Signorile alleged ace mic-mouth and journalist took some time out during the Republican convention to do a poor and insulting "journalistic" Mike Wallace style ambush of Ill-R Congressman Aaron Schock.

Signorile tweeted that he asked Schock if he is gay and according to cub reporter Signorile, Schock's response to the question "was ridiculous and inappropriate" and when "storming off" said he was not.

Of course Mikey defends asking the question "because there have been rumors reported in the media".

Yep this makes for great journalism these days. Of course we have to take Mikey's word for it that this conversation even took place.

Too bad the Congressman left before Mikey was able to do a follow up question which I'm sure would have been, " so Congressman how big is your cock".

Yep this is what passes for journalism in the world of gay dumb and some folks are stupid enough to pay to get it by subscribing to SAT-Radio.

You'd expect this on the Howard Stern show but from someone who is supposed to be one of LGBT's shining stars of the spoken word and print is quite simply a pathetic attempt to embarrass "an opponent" of LGBTs and to pad Mikey's 15 minutes of fame and fortune.

KKFT-FM Axes Sean Savoy Show

So there's all this buzz and outrage over KKFT-FM canceling minister and "spiritualist" Sean Savoy's radio program, House of Savoy on Sunday evenings, allegedly according to Savoy "because he interviewed an LGBT advocate".

Of course everyone is jumping on the bandwagon including the ever predictable GLAAD which is doing one of its "howling dogs barking" campaign at the radio station and station owner Jerry Evans (no relation thank you very much) for the "firing" and accepting at face value that the reason the show was axed is Savoy's explanation.

GLAAD and others even go to the extent of calling this "censorship". Funny that coming from GLAAD which has a "NO AIR" hit-list of those who shouldn't appear in the media because of their views of all things LGBT.

Though it could be true (with no comment from station management at the time of this posting) what most likely no one has even bothered to notice except for myself because I worked in the radio biz is this one little note of fact.

Savoy's show which has been labeled as a "public affairs" program started airing in September 2011 with his show now canceled in August 2012.

That's a year's run folks and perhaps ... oh dare I say it .... Savoy's contract was only for a year and was not extended ? But because the station is a "FOX News affiliate" and practically all its programming line-up is conservative talk radio makes the reason for Savoy's alleged firing for de gay all the more palatable for the LGBT fire and brimstoners. Also "public affairs" programs often air at the "whim" of station owners and/or management.

So outraged is Savoy he has decided to officially come out of the closet.

Gee .. it took this for him to kick open the door ?

Now the last I knew anyone in radio (or other media), on-air or behind the scenes unless you're union or have an excellent contract (even that can have stipulation clauses for firing) can be axed at anytime, such is the nature of the beast. To wit I say .... hey Sean grow up and grow a pair of big ones.

It wasn't fair that in 2006 over 120 of us at CBS Radio got downsized, and it may not be fair you got axed either, but before everyone automatically concludes that Savoy's reason for getting the axe is true there may be more to the story after all we haven't as yet heard both sides of the story.

So I'm sorry you lost your one night weekly gig but as the great Linda Ellerbee use to say, .... and so it goes.

Welcome to radio Sean ... you're getting more than your fifteen minutes of fame ... or could that be the intent all along in getting this story out to de gay press and cut/paste copycats while you "look for a new home" for your show.

Only Savoy and the management at KKFT-FM know for sure.

UPDATE - 9/3/12 - I've invited Sean to an interview on my upcoming radio show on BlogTalkRadio to clear up any misrepresentations which apparently I and others have/are taking on this.

I look forward to his acceptance of this invitation to hear "the rest of the story".

UPDATE - 9/4/12 - In case you haven't heard it, this is the interview which caused so much consternation for station owner Jerry Evans to cancel Sean Savoy's weekly program.

On Wednesday (9/5) I hope to talk with Sean about doing the Focus On The Rainbow blogtalkradio show in a week or so. If that happens I will also certainly ask KKFT-FM for their side too, as unlikely that will be. But in any case we can at least hear Sean's side of the story, complete and without speculation or misrepresentation as to what and why his show was canceled.

UPDATE - 9/07/12 - I'm pleased to announce that Sean Savoy will be talking to this writer on the new BlogTalkRadio show version of Focus On The Rainbow.

The tentative broadcast date will be Wednesday 9/19 at 12:30 AM (Tuesday 9/18 at 9:30 PM).

As we get closer to the broadcast date there will be a posting about the program and what listeners can expect from Sean Savoy and this writer.

Focus On The Rainbow on BlogTalkRadio premieres Wednesday 9/12 at 12:30 AM (Tuesday 9/11 at 9:30 PM) with an open topic show for listeners to call in and discuss LGBT topics.

All broadcasts are 30 minutes in length and LIVE without commercial interruption.

The Correct Blame For Janesville WI

Much ado is being made about Vice-President hopeful Paul Ryan and his blaming POTUS Obama while others are blaming former President Bush for the General Motors plant in Janesville, WI closing.

While all things are semantics and spin in politics particularly at election time, the blame for the plant's closing can neither be put at the feet of Obama nor Bush but squarely at the feet of General Motors.

The plant which was scheduled to close by 2010 assembled gas guzzler vehicles and GM was not of the mind to retool the plant in favor of more economical vehicles and saving jobs.

I doubt very much that the former workers of GM and other businesses affected by the plant's closing in Janesville care to see their economic plight being used for political folly and talking head media banter, both Liberal and Conservative.

Whether Ryan misspoke either on purpose or perception of when the plant actually closed, the point which needs to be made, one which the residents of Janesville would agree, it's all about jobs. Who made what promises, who did or did not deliver, and who can or can't do a better job will all weigh in this election.

As the old line goes, it's the economy stupid. Not about political rhetoric spoken at a political convention. Just ask the good folks of Janesville, WI.
