>>Michael Ramirez lived in Memphis for many years and was editorial cartoonist for the Commercial Appeal (Comical Appeal, Communist Appeal, etc.) He still comes back to town on occasion and does a radio talk show with Mike Fleming (local talk show guy) and also with Paul Shanklin. Paul Shanklin does the parody songs for Rush Limbaugh, and once did one on our voting problems to the tune of Walking in Memphis - Voting in Memphis. I do a weekly radio spot with Mike Fleming called "Thug Thursday" where we "honor" a new recipient of the "Thug of the Week" award. In order to qualify, a person has to have been arrested 100 times or more. We have 140 people who qualify.

Hi Greg,

WREC - AM 600 You can click the "Listen Now" link on this page http://wrecradio.com/cc-common/hdradio/ and catch it via the internet. I'm only one for a few minutes each Thursday. It usually happens anywhere from 4:30 to 5:00 pm. Today's show was Thug-O-Rama - http://memphiscrime.blogspot.com/2008/04/its-thug-o-rama.html

Did you see the 50 arrests for prostitution today? OCU (organized crime unit) has really been putting the heat on them lately.
