Who is Bob Frantz some of you are asking? He is the morning talk show host for our local WSPD AM station. I used to listen to him quite a bit, didn't agree with him most days but he wasn't rabidly conservative and there were times he made points I did agree with. So I would listen, and talk to my radio, but still listen.
After the whole George Voinivich situation I felt motivated to write Bob an email because I felt the constant replaying and taking out of context what was said was wrong. I had already felt some disgust at some other statements he had made so for me that was the final straw. I'm sure Bob is surviving just fine without my listening to his show. (Especially since he never bothered to email back, not even a lame "thank you for your email") However, I do read Frank Szollosi's blog on a fairly regular basis and at times I comment there. Some of my regular readers will know that Frank is a local democrat on Toledo City Council who not only responds to emails (Yes Bob, he responds to emails) but has his own blog (which you can see is on my blogroll).
I've never pretended to be a Democrat, nor have I claimed to be a strong supporter of Frank's. However it appears as before Frank is one of Bob's favorite local targets. On Frank's Blog it was suggested he go on Bob's show because Bob was ripping him again. Then low and behold Bob Frantz appears on the blog to state he has offered numerous times for Frank to go on his show.
That to me was a well duh moment as to why Frank would not go on Bob's show. Why would anyone want to be made fun of or slammed then say "Gee let me go on his show". So I wrote I wouldn't do Frantz's show either. Not that I have that to worry about - lol
An open exchange of ideas isn't going to happen on the Bob Frantz show, it's all about Bob and what he wants to get across. That's what the majority of his listeners want, conservative Democrat slamming type entertainment. He's the host, he gets in the last word or snide comment in some cases.
So I say to you fellow Toledoans...don't tell Frank to do the show...congratulate him for having the brains NOT do to the show.....
True fact or bullcrap is your favorite daily game right Bob? I say yes, you are really good at the bullcrap portion of it.......
Oh and Bob....it's really easy to create a profile to post comments so that you don't have to be "anonymous"....honest...

I will pass that on TCF and I'm honored you visted me. No Old Country Buffet, but some other ones that are very nice. :-)
I enjoy your blog very much and hope someday mine grows up to be half of what yours is.
You are right that we do need to comment more on some of the more extreme blogs. I'm more of anti both party type person, but there is alot of misinformation out there. That's one of the reasons I even got started my blog.
Why can't we all get along and eat Ben and Jerry's Peanut Butter and Jelly Ice Cream? Ooops, sorry. Too soon for that. I went in a time wrap and messed up.
Sounds like a local problem to me, so I won't comment that much on it, not being from Ohio and all. But this guy sounds like a Rush Limbaugh. Lots of hot air and talk, but no proof or action behind it. Just alot of bad entertainment. I remember talking to a Rushie with the BJ scandel in the White House. This mooron was telling me that Rush had the proof on Clinton that will get him impeached and killed. When I asked why didn't Rush give the proof to the Republicans, the reply was, "He can do more good on the radio then sending evidence to Congress." What an A-HOLE. So, I wouldn't worry about this Bob smuck. In the end, he will not make any dents in the political system whatsoever.
