We’re getting the band back together!

Tune in this afternoon – Monday, April 4, from 3 -4 PM, Chicago time – for the latest edition of The Stonecipher Report political radio show, as site-and-show-founder Tyler Rippeteau returns to join me in the WHPK studio.

We’ll catch up a bit on what’s been going on…as well as talk about some of the latest issues in local, national, and international politics.

You can listen on local broadcast station WHPK-FM, 88.5 FM in Chicago...or live online via whpk.org. Oh, that hour will fly by, so…tune us in! Thanks!

 

Update – This Site May Be on a Bit of a Hiatus, but…The Stonecipher Report Radio Show is Still on Live EVERY Week

Former regular readers and even occasional browsers may have noticed that the new content out here on The Stonecipher Report has slowed, then all but stopped. It’s true that – due to various personal and situational circumstances – we haven’t been posting our previously-heavy doses of political (plus occasional sports- and pop-culture-related) content.

Site founder Tyler Rippeteau is currently exploring some new directions and challenges; he may have some updates to share about those soon via these pages or on-air. And I have taken a break from my twice-weekly "And, in the News…" e-mail newsletter, as well as from the regular entries I had been making out here; I will also likely restart both of those (perhaps in a trickle of posts – but maybe even back into a full and constant flood) in the coming weeks or months. (Of course, the last-few-years-worth of deep reporting and opinion-based content we have compiled will remain available out here...)

…But, ALL is not quiet – at least an hour of Progressive and Liberal political content is available from us every week via the still-flourishing radio (and Internet-streaming) version of The Stonecipher Report. Tune in every Monday from 3 – 4:00 PM (Chicago time), as well as some upcoming bonus Wednesday slots (on March 30 and April 13, from noon – 1:30 PM), to catch the latest in left-leaning news and views, including local, national, and international content.

I’ll be on later today, March 21, to look at the latest rumblings from the GOP side eying the ’12 Presidential race, as well as political reactions to and spin about the latest disaster and military happenings in the world. You can listen on local broadcast station WHPK-FM, 88.5 FM in Chicago...or live online via whpk.org. Join me for the usual entertaining and informative mix of Liberal and Progressive talk radio spiced up with some interesting music, every Monday afternoon (as well as a couple of upcoming Wednesdays)…Thanks!

Frickin’ cry-baby! Didja see Speaker-to-be John Boehner get out there and bawl his way through his celebratory speech? As our site’s lately more-silent partner Tyler Rippeteau just texted me, "Who does he think he is – Glenn Beck?"

Jeez – as undoubtedly feminine (even with the steely power) as Nancy Pelosi is, she now seems like 2 or 3 times "the man" as the bizarrely-orange-colored Boehner does. Ah, good to know that he – and his ilk – are so honored to be given the governmental car keys by American voters…so they can drive the big ol’ vehicle back off the road. Once again.

My intention was to leave around 3:00 or 4:00 PM today and make it all the way from Chicago to Nebraska, but I knew in the back of my mind it probably wouldn’t happen. So here it is, 6:00 PM and I’m waiting for my last load of laundry to finish up before I head out.
