Future Mother In Law Rips Bride in E Mail [AUDIO]
I happened upon another blog today written by a guy at our sister station, Q103. The odd thing about it is I read the blog and I felt weird that I didn't agree with him at all. It's about a woman who writes her future daughter in law a "rude" e mail and it gets out on the web. BJ, the author of the blog (and our traffic guy on the Sean and Richie show) thinks that this is a very mean e mail and this woman deserves "anything she gets" from it becoming public. I don't know why but I kind of agreed with most of the points the woman made. Here is what we said on the air about it.

I believe they had a Commodore 64. Well, The Commodore 64, the classic personal computer from the eight-bit '80s, is making a comeback. Sort of.

Too Lazy To Mow Your Lawn? Now There’s Automower [VIDEO]
Poor afternoon WGNA personality Jake Thomas. As former President Bill Clinton would say, "I feel his pain". In one of Jake's recent blogs he was lamenting over the fact it was the beginning of lawn mowing season. He was looking to purchase a riding mower. Dumb move, Jake. Takes up too much room in the garage. Plus, you have to go out there and actually sit on it. There's a better way--AUTOMOWER!
