Flagrant Self-Promotion From the News Department

Good Morning, Austin!

Here's a link to this morning's edition of Good Morning Austin with KLBJ 590's Steve Pickering, Crystal Cotti and yours truly. The topics? Toll roads, Jason Meeker and Stop Domain Subsidies, the latter inspiring this love note from a rapacious watcher:

I just watched you on the fox news and I have to say your malicious deceptive attack, impugning the character of the people who are involved and engaged with the political process disgusted me, not to mention your insinuation that if some one does not agree with your views they are stoners. Shame on you. One of the things I love about Austin is that the citizens are involved and not afraid to stand up to the likes of you, a pretentious manipulating smug egotistical operative who would prefer we all follow their agenda like sheep. I have seen many people like you who treat tax paying citizens like ignorant, insignificant cash cows, just shut up and give us your money, Need I remind you the people objecting to the Domain subsidies are mostly local business owners who would like to see some of their own tax dollars used to help local businesses and the local community. There was nothing in your little propaganda spill indicating this.
Because that's tooooootaly what I said! Oh, and Google Ron Paul!
