Rock star and noted hunting enthusiast Ted Nugent was fined $1,750 in Yuba County Superior Court Friday after pleading no contest to charges of baiting deer and not having a properly signed hunting tag, according to the Los Angeles Times. The charges arose following an incident last year in which Nugent was filmed killing an immature buck on an episode of his hunting show, Spirit of the Wild, which airs on the Outdoor Channel. An investigation found that Nugent and his co-defendants, Mitchell Moore and Ross Patterson, had baited the area using a wildlife attractant called “C’Mere Deer,” in violation of California law.

Dr. Laura Schlessinger to end show
Dr. Laura Schlessinger told CNN’s Larry King on Tuesday night that she will end her radio show following outrage over her use of the N-word last week. She told King her contract is up after this year and that she will not renew it. She said she wants to “regain my First Amendment rights” and that she is not ending her career, just her radio show.
After using the racial epithet several times with a caller last Tuesday, Schlessinger posted an apology to her website and repeated it during a subsequent broadcast. She told King that after doing radio for more than 30 years, ”I want to be able to say what’s on my mind and in my heart and what I think is helpful and useful without somebody getting angry or some special-interest group deciding this is a time to silence a voice of dissent.”
Schlessinger went on to say that radio has changed and that any kind of back and forth has ”been usurped by angry, hateful groups who don’t want to debate — they want to eliminate…. I decided it was time to move on to other venues where I could say my peace and not have to live in fear anymore.”
Schlessinger is syndicated by Talk Radio Network, which refers to her as ”the most listened-to women in radio broadcasting history.” According to Talkers Magazine, the Dr. Laura program is tied as the third-most-popular radio show in the nation (along with Glenn Beck and Michael Savage), with over 9 million weekly listeners. In August, she was nominated for the Marconi Award for network/syndicated personality of the year, which she received back in 1997.
Her flagship station is KFWB in Los Angeles. READ FULL STORY »

Rod Blagojevich found guilty on just one count
Former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich was found guilty on a single count of lying to federal agents on Tuesday while a jury said it was hung on the other 23 counts against him. The one count carries a maximum sentence of five years. Prosecutors may attempt to re-try the governor-turned-Celebrity Apprentice participant on the other 23 counts.
The trial stemmed from a 2008 indictment that accused Blagojevich of trying to sell the appointment to the U.S. Senate seat that opened up when Barack Obama was elected president. Blagojevich has since been impeached and removed from the governor’s office. His appearance on Celebrity Apprentice earlier this year was part of an unorthodox public relations tour of sorts, which also included appearances on The View and The Late Show With David Letterman.
