Luallen in 2007??

My money is on Jonathan Miller in 2007...I still hope he runs. I have yet to hear a thing.

This comes from the Southern Political Report via the L-JC DP:
State Auditor Crit Luallen (D) is considered a likely candidate – and potential primary winner – in the 2007 gubernatorial election. She was cabinet secretary to Gov. Paul Patton (D), but resigned when his extra-marital affair with a woman nursing home operator doing business with the state became public. Luallen had planned to run for governor in 2003, but ran and won the auditor's post instead. Recently, she's been in the headlines for helping investigate a hiring scandal in Gov. Ernie Fletcher 's (R) administration (see below). Luallen says publicly she's undecided about running for governor, but she has hired Washington, DC, pollster Celinda Lake and told The Kentucky Post that she's been in touch with national Democratic and women's organizations about a potential race. She gets high marks from Democrats and would be a strong contender.
We offer our best wishes to Louisville Democratic Communications Director Ray Crider as he recovers from his recent back surgery.

A moment of Zen? Who uses the bathtub as a toilet aside from pets?

Two oldies stations change formats. I'm saddened by the news.
Youth must be served," Taylor said about the changes. "If you look at a lot of media, older Americans aren't important unless you're selling Craftmatic beds."

At 5 p.m. Friday, just as Frank Sinatra's "Summer Wind" faded out, WCBS listeners heard a voice announce: "Why don't we play what we want? There's a whole world of songs out there."

The first song played on the new 'CBS-FM: "Fight for Your Right" by the Beastie Boys.

Until that moment, there were no indications of any imminent change at the station. Earlier in the day, morning show host Mickey Dolenz — yes, the former Monkees drummer — celebrated his 100th show with the station by hosting a live broadcast from B.B. King's Blues Club just off Times Square.

In the winter 2005 Arbitron ratings, WCBS-FM was ranked eighth among the city's stations — a strong showing, but apparently not strong enough.
Ever hear of youth, like myself, that prefer the older music as well as family oriented programming?

I hear it through the grape vine that some girl named Ashlee Simpson wants a second chance with SNL.
