Print Profile While lots of pundits claim to know (and care) what's in the hearts and minds of America's youth, Ben Ferguson IS America's youth. At 25 years old, Ben is the Ben Ferguson youngest nationally syndicated talk show host in the country. Ben blends a mix of pop culture, politics and current events in an entertaining and Speech Topics informative way, debating the news of the week from a college-age perspective, while incorporating prominent guests from the political, entertainment, and business worlds. Leadership Generations This caller driven program provides a forum for the vastly under served younger audience of 20 and 30 somethings who care about politics and current events as well as music, movies and sports. Ben's good humored but conservative approach separates this program from the pack of shows aimed at driving ratings through "locker room" humor and stupid stunts. The market of young men and women is not being effectively reached on talk radio today. The Ben Ferguson Show provides a forum for traditional talk stations to reach those listeners and creates a venue for its advertisers that are trying to reach an educated younger audience. The War on Terror and in Iraq have increased demand among young listeners for substantive, news based programming. The Ben Ferguson Show offers an opportunity to reach those young men and women that are hungry for talk radio that speaks directly to them. Ben has hosted talk radio programs since he was 13 years old and he has been interviewed by the New York Times, Time Magazine, Rolling Stone, and The Chicago Tribune, in addition to appearances on numerous television programs including CNN's Talk Back Live, Fox News Channel's O'Reilly Factor. ABC's Good Morning America and HBO's Dennis Miller Live. To book Ben ... 901.754.9404 www.executivespeakers.com.

  • 1 Who Brings the Funny? 3 Mirroring the Political Climate: Satire in History
    Notes 1 Who Brings the Funny? 1 . Obscenity, incitement to violence, and threatening the life of the president are several examples of restrictions on expression. 2 . There have been several cases of threats against political cartoonists and comedians made by Islamic extremists who felt their religion was being mocked. These examples include (but are not limited to) the Danish political cartoonist who drew a depiction of the Prophet Mohammed, the creators of South Park who pretended to, and David Letterman who mocked Al Qaida. 3 Mirroring the Political Climate: Satire in History 1 . I urge readers to review K. J. Dover’s (1974) and Jeffrey Henderson’s (1980) work on Aristophanes, and see Peter Green (1974) and Susanna Morton Braund (2004). Other work on Juvenal includes texts by Gilbert Highet (1960) and J. P. Sullivan (1963). I have also been directed by very smart people to Ralph M. Rosen, Making Mockery: The Poetics of Ancient Satire, (New York: Oxford University Press, 2 0 0 7 ) . 2 . Apparently, the “definitive” Pope prose is found in the volume edited by Ault and Cowler (Oxford: Blackwell, 1936–1986), and the “definitive” text for Gay’s poetry is edited by Dearing (Oxford: Clarendon, 1974). 3. The best collection from Swift comes from Cambridge Press: English Political Writings 1711–1714, edited by Goldgar (2008). Thanks to Dr. Sharon Harrow for her assistance in finding this authoritative resource. 4 . The most authoritative biographies of Franklin are from Isaacson (2003) and Brands (2002), and I recommend readers look to these two authors for more information on one of the most fascinating of our founding fathers.

  • June 17, 2011 Premiere Radio Networks and K Talk 1650 (WHKT)
    June 17, 2011 Premiere Radio Networks and K Talk 1650 (WHKT) are pleased to announce that The Glenn Beck Program will join the station's lineup Monday, June 20, at 9:00 AM Eastern time. Beck, the third most listened to talk program in the nation, will join a lineup already packed with top ten talkers Laura Ingraham, Dennis Miller, Dave Ramsey, Mark Levin, and others. Beck's move from across town was completed Wednesday in whirlwind negotiations between the station and Premiere Radio. Along with Beck's program come "At Home With Gary Sullivan", "The Tech Guy Leo LaPorte", and "Handel on the Law", all joining the station's weekend lineup. Operations Director Rod Suiter commented today "This is a very exciting move for us. We are now the single strongest talk station in the market, with the largest coverage area in the area. Adding Beck to our already solid lineup is going to put us in a place where we can do what we do best". The station's Promotions and Imaging Director, Brian Holland, begun the promotion for Beck's arrival this week with a viral campaign. Hitting the internet hard with blurbs simply saying "6202011-0900: The ARRIVAL", the buzz around the local radio industry has been hot. "This is a move I've wanted to make for quite some time. A show like Glenn Beck deserves a station that knows how to treat it. I'm comfortable saying that K Talk 1650 is that station", commented Holland. With Beck's arrival, the station's weekday lineup is juggled just a bit.

AUTOMAKERS AND ENGINE MAKERS SUE EPA OVER E15 WAIVER The Engine Products Group, a coalition of automakers and engine manufacturers, filed suit against the EPA over its partial waiver of the Clean Air Act to allow the use of E15 in vehicles model year 2007 and newer. The coalition contends that the Clean Air Act does not permit partial waivers; more testing is necessary; and the agency needs better safeguards against misfueling. While the suit does not offer specific objections to the rule, the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute, a member of the Engine Products Group, has expressed concerns that current engines are not designed for E15 and that using it could violate the warranty.

Then, when Plaintiffs demanded a combined $15 million from the City of Irving and the Irving Independent School District for their alleged unfair treatment,2 the story took on a new dimension – one which directly impacted the taxpayers in the community. KDFW FOX 4 reported on all of the events that transpired surrounding this controversy3 – 1 See Exhibit A, Affidavit of Bruce Smith, describing the news conference held by the family on the day after the arrest.
