My significant other half and myself have been fervent and faithful
followers of Erin on 710KIRO radio for a long time. We miss her a lot.
Have sent lotsa emails to KIRO Mgmt. urging them to bring Erin back, to no
avail. They still do not have a permanent 9:00 PM host and have made no
anouncement re: a host for that time slot. We know that Erin Hart is the
best they had and keep hoping that she will be back soon! If you are
communicating with Erin, would you mind passing on our best wishes to her?
We enjoy your Entertainment segment and Bartcop
very much. Keep on
hammering as hard as you can!
Thanks,
B & W
Thanks, Wally!
I forwarded your note on to Erin. We're hopeful there'll be good news to pass on soon.
And, at least for now, she remains 'on staff' at KIRO (just wish that translated to 'on air').
BuzzFlash interview: Paul Waldman, Progressives can win -- here's how
My hope is that the next time somebody asks a Democrat, "Why are you a Democrat?" they would say, "I'm a Democrat because I believe we're all in it together. I'm not a Republican or a conservative because they think we're all on our own, and we're in it for ourselves." This is what progressives really have been missing.

Q: What do you think has been Media Matters' biggest success thus far?
A: Two accomplishments of which we are proudest have been our exposure of outrageous comments by right-wing media figures Pat Robertson and Bill Bennett and the debunking of right wing books such as Edward Klein's The Truth About Hillary and David Horowitz's The Professors. Exposing Robertson and Bennett's comments led to them being denounced by leaders throughout the country, including by the White House.

LORNA WILLIAMS: The joys of Julia and her mastering of French cuisine (washingtontimes.com)
The plentiful black-and-white photos, many taken by Paul, are the icing on the gateau: 6-foot-2-inch Julia towering over students at her cooking school, lighting a cigarette on a Marseille street corner, posing in a bubble bath with Paul for the Valentine's Day card the couple sent every year (because they were always too late to send out Christmas cards).
I'm amazed you haven't seen this. It was delicious when it made
the rounds a couple of years ago. I'm sure it still is, but don't have
time this a.m. to preview the available selection for the best one.

British director Ken Loach's The Wind That Shakes the Barley, a saga set amid Ireland's struggle for independence in the early 1920s, won top honours Sunday in an unanimous vote at the Cannes Film Festival.
Prizes for best actor and actress went to ensemble casts. Penelope Cruz and her five key cast mates in Pedro Almodovar's Volver, including Carmen Maura, Yohana Cobo and Lola Duenas, shared the actress prize. The film, a comic drama about women making do without men, also won the screenplay honour for director Almodovar.
Awards given Sunday at the 59th Cannes Film Festival, selected by a nine-member jury headed by Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai:
-Palme d'Or (Golden Palm): The Wind That Shakes the Barley, Ken Loach, Britain.
John Keck of Washington yells at a group of protesters from the Westboro Baptist Church based in Topeka, Kan., Monday, May 29, 2006, near Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va. President Bush, marking Memorial Day with a speech paying tribute to fighting men and women lost in war, signed into law Monday a bill that keeps demonstrators from disrupting military funerals. This was largely in response to the activities of the Kansas church group that has staged protests at military funerals around the country, claiming the deaths symbolized God's anger at U.S. tolerance of homosexuals.

The captain who dared to "boldly go where no man has gone before" has targeted a new destination: William Shatner believes he can contribute to Middle East peace by helping disabled children through horseback riding.
The former "Star Trek" actor was in Israel on Monday to promote "therapeutic riding." He hopes to raise $10 million for nearly 30 riding programs in the country.
Shatner said that placing injured people on horseback has been shown to improve their conditions. "We know that the use of a horse in their therapy takes them beyond their handicapped body, their injured body, and into another area of health," he said.
Shatner has long been involved with "Ahead for Horses," a Los Angeles charity that works with physically and mentally disabled children through horseback riding.
A cameraman and soundman for CBS were killed and a CBS correspondent was seriously injured Monday after their convoy was struck by a roadside bomb in Iraq, the network said.
Veteran cameraman Paul Douglas, 48, and soundman James Brolan, 42, were killed, CBS reported on its Web site. Correspondent Kimberly Dozier, 39, was in critical condition at a U.S. military hospital in Baghdad after undergoing surgery.
The three were reporting on patrol with the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, when their convoy was hit by an improvised explosive device, CBS said.

Ridley Scott's sci-fi classic "Blade Runner," one of the first movies to appear on DVD in 1997, is being restored and remastered for a brief reissue in September.
The DVD, featuring the 1992 "director's cut," will be deleted after four months, and replaced by a 25th anniversary "final cut," which Warner Home Video is billing as Scott's "definitive new version" of the film.
After a limited theatrical release, the newly spruced-up "Runner" will be released in a multidisc special edition DVD that also will include the original theatrical cut, the expanded international theatrical cut and the 1992 director's cut.

US football star Hines Ward pledged one million dollars of his own money to help launch a foundation to improve the lives of mixed race children in South Korea.
Kia Motors, the South Korean carmaker, has also pledged one million dollars for the new foundation which Ward had promised to set up when he visited Korea for the first time in April.
The Pittsburgh Steelers player who is half Korean said he was touched by the plight of mixed race kids when he met some of them seven weeks ago during his first visit to the land of his birth.
Born of a Korean mother and an African-American father, Ward, 30, said he wanted to help children who suffered discrimination as he had done.

Twenty-five people were injured in an annual cheese-rolling competition, where daredevils chase giant cheeses down a steep slope in western England, organisers said.
Dozens took part in the bizarre event at Cooper's Hill in Brockworth, Gloucestershire, before a crowd of some 3,000 laughing and cheering spectators.
They raced for 200 metres (656 feet) down the slope after the wheel-shaped Double Gloucester cheese, decorated in a blue and red ribbon.
Of the 25 people hurt, 12 were spectators, one of whom was hit by one of the hard, dinner-plate-sized cheeses used in each race.
Cheikha Rimitti, who popularized a taboo-defying form of Algerian pop music - called rai - and sang boldly of sexuality, alcoholism and oppression, has died of heart failure. She was 83.
Her death in Paris on May 15 was announced by her recording house, Because Music. Two days before she died, she gave a performance at the Zenith concert hall in the French capital.
Born in rural Algeria in 1923 and orphaned at an early age, Rimitti - whose real name was Saadia - became a troubadour with a traveling musical group at age 20. Illiterate, she memorized her songs.
The Algerian government banned her songs in the 1960s, but bootleg recordings circulated. She emigrated to France in 1978.
She recorded her first album in 1952, and her most recent one, "N'Ta Goudami," was released in November. World music aficionados rediscovered her in the 1990s, and in 1994 she released an album with Robert Fripp, from King Crimson, and Flea, of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Smoke rises from the crater of the 7,746-foot (2,361-meter) Mount Karthala Monday, May 29, 2006, on Grand Comore, the largest of the three Comoros islands.Mount Karthala last erupted in April 2005. No one was killed then, but tens of thousands of villagers left their homes. Comoros, which gained independence from France in 1975, lies about 300 kilometers (185 miles) east of Mozambique and 400 kilometers (250 miles) west of Madagascar.
