11/10: Clark’s roast
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Clark Howard’s closest friends (and not so close so called friends) roasted him Thursday night for Team Georgia, the local non-profit highway safety organization.
Clark arrived in a tux but he quickly stripped down to his signature uniform: a free WSB golf shirt, too-tight khaki shorts and sneakers. Instead of dinner, he got his favorite indulgence: two pints of Haagen Daz ice cream.
The likes of WSB-TV’s Monica Pearson, Jeff Foxworthy (via video) and fellow WSB talk show host Neal Boortz mocked his cheapness and all around goofiness. But they didn’t knife him. Howard afterwards said folks were actually almost too nice to him.
Boortz did tell the true story about the time Howard would never go valet and find free parking, even in New York City. His rental car got hit by falling debris one time. He also pulled off a few jokes that were funny but didn’t have anything to do with Howard. “He used to date homeless women,” Boortz cracked. “It was so much easier to get them to stay over.”
Traffic reporter Mark Arum opened his comments thusly: “The man we’re here to roast tonight in spite of what you heard is a liar, a thief, a cheat, a fool and a downright miserable man.” Pause. “Oh, wait. Those are my Neal Boortz roast comments. Sorry!”

11/9: Radio voices
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
On a day with no real news (yet), let me pose a couple of questions:
Who has the best sounding voice on radio?
Who’s voice makes you want to ram cotton balls in your ears?
