The Commander of NATO forces in Afghanistan, U. S. General Stanley McChrystal was fired by President Barack Obama today after an article published in Rolling Stone Magazine quoted the General and members of his staff making incendiary remarks that reflected badly on the Administration from the President on down. General David Petraeus has been name to replace McChrystal.
The 101 Gold poll asks you if you agree with the firing or not.
Today is Poop Out Early Day, a day to fake complete exhaustion to leave early. Today is also Let It Go Day. Whatever is bugging you, let it go. If you’re troubled…or have doubts. Or, for that matter – if you have gas. Just let it go!
The 101 number one song of the day was written by the most successful female songwriter of all time. She wrote songs for others because she once said, “She didn’t want to become a star.” But that would all change with the release of today’s featured song. She had great success writing for such artists as Bobby Vee (Take Good Care of My Baby) the Drifters (Up on the Roof) Aretha Franklin (A Natural Woman) and “I’m into something Good” by Herman’s Hermits. This list goes on and on. But in 1971, she recorded an album of her own material and stardom was inevitable – whether she liked it or not. The album would be number one for 15 weeks and it produced a two sided single with both songs at number one on June 23rd of that year. The LP was entitled Tapestry and the songs were “It’s Too Late” and the the 101 Number One Song of the Day- “I Feel the Earth Move” The reluctant superstar - Carole King
Other stuff…
Our old friend from the earlier days of Your Morning Show, the Naked Cowboy, is back in the news.
He’s since gone on to find fame in NYC’s Time Square where he serenades tourists wearing only his tighty whities (two pair, BTW), cowboy boots and a cowboy hat. He has sent a cease-and-desist letter to Sandy Kane, who wears a red, white and blue cowboy hat and matching bikini. He says if Kane's going to make money by posing for photos, he wants her to sign a "Naked Cowboy Franchise Agreement." Most of his licensed franchisees are required to pay $5,000 a year or $500 a month and go through a screening process. She says, don’t hold your breath.
The animal rights group – PETA – never passes up an opportunity to work their way into the news of the day. The group has now offered to rebuild the giant ‘Touchdown Jesus’ statue in Ohio that was destroyed by lightning last week. They said they would rebuild the statue IF they could add an anti-meat message to the display, ‘Blessed are the merciful – Go Vegan!’ The preacher declined their offer, saying, ‘We raise cattle.’
A woman died in Miami…and left three-million dollars in her will to her pet Chihuahua. She also left 27-million bucks to the staff in her mansion so they could continue to work and take care of the dog. She left her son – just one-million dollars. He’s not happy with the way things worked out so, naturally, he’s suing.

Talk about a silver lining -The oil spill – hey it’s good for business
In Planet BP — a BP online, in-house magazine — a "BP reporter" dispatched to Louisiana managed to paint an even rosier picture of the disaster. "There is no reason to hate BP," one local seafood entrepreneur is quoted as saying, as the region relies on the oil industry for work. Indeed, the April 20 spill on the Deepwater Horizon is being reinvented in Planet BP as a strike of luck. "Much of the region's [non-fishing boat] businesses — particularly the hotels — have been prospering because so many people have come here from BP and other oil emergency response teams," another report says. Indeed, one tourist official in a local town makes it clear that "BP has always been a very great partner of ours here…We have always valued the business that BP sent us."
And finally, US News & World Report has a list of things people would like to tell their boss. These are the things on people’s minds…but they don’t have the nerve to say. They include: “Give me the tools I need to do the job.”; “Admit when you make a mistake.”; “Ask for my opinion from time to time.”; “I can’t hear you when you shout.”; “Don’t lie about deadlines.” And everybody’s favorite, “Don’t make me work with idiots!”
