Here’s my, hey, maybe I should read what I write before posting it comment on my local newspaper of records story on Asher and Bob’s time on big Chicago radio.

Yes, it is true that unlike many of The Press staff, I live in Sheboygan, not the greater Milwaukee area. Yet, I’m not a photographer. I’m a photojournalist, and the difference is dramatic enough that an entire profession of highly skilled visual journalists work under the banner. 

Listen to the show

It’s strange that in covering a story, I become the focus, yet, I’m that important around here, I guess. It’s not that I’m not worth mentioning, there’s definitely infotainment value in my inclusion. Some very important things involving Asher’s one ended feud with Mayor Ryan happened yesterday, and aren’t included in the story, we’ll save that for my story.

“At one point, Brandmeier chided Brunette for coming into the studio to take pictures, likening the curly, long-haired photographer to rock musician Sammy Hagar.

“Get this crazy guy out of here,” Brandmeier said on the air. “This ‘Sammy Hagar.’ Get out of here ‘Sammy.’ Get that out of here, you crazy nut … I don’t know what he’s doing with that camera. Who is that guy?”"

This was a political comedy piece with six willing participants and a news angle. A good journalist does what they can to get the story, I got a great one yesterday. My involvement was similar to the role I played when I followed Presidential candidates throughout Iowa in the previous election cycles.

Yes, I admit to travelling with Senator John Kerry to a pheasant hunt (full disclosure: I did not accept the pheasant John offered me), and with Howard Dean to an Iowa farm. I was subsequently “chided” by Howard: “sit down, the people came to see me, not you”. Silly me, how unprofessional, what was I thinking? Oh yeah, It’s my freaking job!

This was a political comedy piece with six willing participants and a news angle, I’m happy to play my role as the creator of SheVegas, the brand. Not to be confused with others attempts to co-opt my love child. I don’t usually plug my collection of Sheboygan kitten photos known as SheVegas.com. Heck, I don’t even post 99% of the stuff I produce, yet feel it’s more informative than the brain cleanser you’re using know.

Johnny B, can you play us out with a bit that mentions Bratwurst Day and makes fun of Wisconsin people?
