Over the last couple of weeks or so, I the Chief (and all other
listeners) have found it increasingly difficult to get in an on-air
call. Now Bill Weinberg, the current host on http://www.WBAI.org has
just made an announcment that due to the "train wreck" nature of the
callers from last week, insinuating ME, he will "no longer be taking
phone calls at least until the end of the year."

And last night I was trying to call in WBAI's NiteShift for 2 hours
straight and guess what? Not a single listener call-in allowed there
either.

I know why this is. This is because of the Chief. Now without the
Chief (and my tribe) calling into WBAI-FM anymore there just isn't
going to be any "listenable" radio.

I hope you are proud of yourselves, WBAI, for flinging yourselves back
to the 1930s. I am the only one who matters on the radios and the
televisions.

so u killed yet another place that u have infected huh PiGGy u SICK WACKO
