A Few Interesting Items

• 97.9 "The Breeze" which has featured the glorious genre of smooth jazz for years has now changed their format to "smooth adult contemporary."
  Smooth Jazz accounted for 80% of my radio listening during the day, and I attribute most of my good moods solely to the soothing sounds of James Taylor, Steve Cole, and Boney James.
  Now the station is playing insufferable drivel that is similar to what is heard on FM100 and KOSY.
  Apparently the entire radio industry is making this type of change... Screw America's financial crisis, fix this first please!!!!

• Salt Lake county is looking for 1000 more poll workers for the next presidential election.
  It is "volunteer" work but you get a MINIMUM of $120 for the day.
  As long as you are a legal resident and registered to vote you can do it.
  Why not eh?

• Micheal Moore is releasing his next documentary "slacker uprising" for free download in the U.S. and Canada in hopes of inspiring young voters.
  The movie takes place prior to the 2004 election while Moore was unsuccessfully trying to get George W. Bush removed from office. "My goal was to help turn out a record number of young voters and others who had never voted before," said Moore in an email to his newsletter subscribers. "That part was a success. Young adults voted in greater numbers than in any election since 18-year-olds were given the right to vote. And the youth vote was the only age group that John Kerry won."
  It will be released on Tuesday September 23rd and you can sign up for a free download at http://slackeruprising. com/
  "It was clear that young people were the ones who were going to save the day," said Moore. "Just as they are in this year's election."
