BUD'S BLOG, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1st, 2023

We'll focus on the latest from our DeSantis file, as we talk about the Governor's continuing crack down on the woke world of higher education in Florida, and his slickly crafted response to Trump's latest attacks on him!

We'll talk about the latest bizarre trend within the airline industry as more and more airlines are ditching gender based uniforms for pilots, flight attendants and other staff. It's all in the name of "inclusion". Men can dress like women, women can dress like men, so everyone's comfortable and free to express their inner selves. Well, isn't that nice, for everyone except most of the passengers who fly these airlines and keep them in business! I've had it with this liberal inclusion crap! Have you?! Let's talk about it and why celebrating the differences in men and women as God created us, has gone out of style in 21st century America and needs to be brought back!

We'll look back 20 years to one of NASA's darkest days, as we recall the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster on this date in 2003, when all seven members of the Columbia crew were killed as the shuttle broke up and disintegrated minutes before its scheduled landing at Kennedy Space Center.

I remember this tragedy as though it happened yesterday, and you may as well, so let's talk about it.

We'll look at what lies ahead for the ambitious U.S. space program and what it will take to manage the increased risks as more and more humans are sent into outer space.

We'll wrap up Wednesday's show with the latest news from Florida's Road Wars! We'll look at plans for a left lane law that would fine drivers who have no good reason to drive in the left lane on our highways, but just continue to hang out there and slow everyone else down! And, I'll tell you about the local teenager clocked doing 132 mph on I-4 !! What happened to him, and what do you think should have happened to him?!
