For all that have ever lived in Tampa Bay most have at least heard of Dick Fletcher but more likely most have watched his weather reports on Tampa Bay’s 10 news. For 28 years Dick Fletcher was an integral part of South West Florida. Mr. Fletcher covered the weather like no one else and displayed so much passion for his job.
Dick Fletcher was extremely well known in the Tampa area and many other parts of the country. 10 News spent the day reflecting on his life and the legacy that he leaves behind. I was very impressed with the amount of work they put into the 1 hour special that aired this evening at 8 pm. From the interviews from friends, colleagues and even competitors he was a very well-liked and caring man. He was a role model for students and spent many hours in local schools teaching kids about weather. In a world such as ours today it is a shame there are not as many men like Dick Fletcher out there. My sympathy’s go out to the Fletcher family.

This is ridiculous to me that behavior that was condoned 100 years ago is still finding its way into to mainstream America. Bill Cunningham made some hateful comments today about Obama that even John McCain was offended by and immediately distanced himself from this whack job.
If you don’t know who this guy is they have a great bio of him on wikipedia.
Cunningham was part of a republican political rally in Cincinatti, Ohio today and before John McCain was able to step foot on the stage BC was running his mouth in his usual fashion. He attacked the mainstream media, saying that they have treated Obama better than any other canidate in the race. He also had the audacity to call Obama a “Hack” and a Chicago Style, Daley politician. Cunningham went even further to refer to Obama by his middle name of Hussein and try to draw on fear and hatred. This guy should be pulled of the air faster than Imus.
This excerpt is from MSNBC:
“At some point in the near future the media — the stooges from the New York Times, CBS the Clinton Broadcasting System, NBC the Nobody But Clinton network, the All Bill Clintonchannel ABC, and the Clinton News Network — at some point is going to peel the bark off Barack Hussein Obama,” Cunningham said. “That day will come, then you’ll know the truth about his business dealings with Rezko, when he got sweetheart deals in Chicago and the illegal loans that he received.”
Where Mr. Cunningham is mention of FOX news? Not one mention, so I guess if the media is inline with your political views it’s all fine and dandy. This guy is a joke and I feel for the people that listen to his show and continue his closed minded approach to the world.
