Union Rat Patrol
When you see the RAT in front of a store it means the owner/management inside refuses to bargain in good faith. No union wants to put it's people in the street not making money. It's when their side brings in scabs, stops talking at the negotiation table or locks out the union memebers is when the RAT appears. We have no choice. We are fighting for jobs and a better life for those who are working there.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, MARIA!!!
I love the pic of the nativity with the dogs--too funny! Thanks Maria, for another year of great music and most especially you, just being you. I'm not a New Yorker, but I can still enjoy listening to Q104. Also thanks for being such a great friend to all the animals, you make such a difference.

Union Rat Patrol
Maria-
I love the Union Rat Patrol. Every time I hear it, it says to me that a business owner has stood up to the bully Unions and made a sound business decision.
The pendulum has swung...the Unions are the new Fat Cats. You can still be on the right side of this issue.
Keep the music coming!

i can tell you maria is one of the nicest people on earth. when i was all alone and hurt in early 90s(like a dog with its tail between its legs) maria and her show took me in and made me feel very special for many a year. even after another terrible time just remembering that gives me strength to carry on.(lil csny there) her name should be maria caring milito. with love peter

Prevent Mahwah, NJ's Ban on Dogs
Mahwah NJ wants to pass Ordinance # 1679 that would prohibit dogs (leashed and unleashed) from all parks, recreational areas and school properties, including parking lots, whether school is in session or not.
Help stop this from happening:
Sign the petition @ www.stopmahwah-ord1679.org
Responsible dog owners and their dogs should not be punished!

re: Arizona Shelter Puts down War Hero dog
This story really set my blood boiling. What good does putting this person on Administrative leave? The damage has been done. Shelters are too quick to euthanize, and the practice should be banned except in cases when the animal is too injured or sick to be saved. As for the employee, he should be fired straight out and never allowed to work around animals again. I'm sure he can become a street sweeper.
Grrrr.

Louisiana Homeless Pets
Hi Maria, I heard you mention the homeless pets from Louisian story and I knew it would upset me but I did check it out, OMG I felt even more upset and depressed. I feel the CEO of whatever his title is from PB, should have the balls and come out and see for himdelf what HE has done to these people in the gulf. He should also put out HIS OWN money to those people who had to give up their beloved pets so they can get their beloved family members back. BP has no shame for what they did. Face up and pay up.

I don't understand how they can live with themselves with all this damage they have done. If people are smart they will boycot BP gas stations, they don't deserve our business or support. Thanks

What a nice surprise to open up the Daily News on Saturday morning and see you and that handsome Carmine on the 'Critters' page.

hey kiddo...i remember the day we spoke about you losing clarice,and how i felt losing my 'cleo'..the hole in my heart is still there..i still cry from time to time...she was a sweetheart..we had a real special bond from day 1..adopted her from a local shelter too. like i explained to you that day..i dont know if i can go thru that heartbreak again..i know it sounds selfish,but it was sooo hard making that decision to put her down..who am i to make that decision,but i had to.maybe someday..but i was so happy when you got carmine!hes the best..love his pics,and the story and pic in the daily news is awesome...it brought alot to light..keep the pics coming and hugs and licks to the big ragu..and as always..to you also...oh,ive got to go and chase 'emma"our kitty-kat around..shes taken over were cleo has left..be well kiddo...clem
We read the terrific article on you and your boy Carmine in the NY DAILY NEWS today.
However, we are a bit puzzled. Carmine is hardly a mutt.
Not not sure if anyone told you, that the adorable boy you adopted from the shelter- is a BOXER!
He is gorgeous and we are so happy you opted to adopt.
Many great animals are waiting for homes in the shelter- both purebred dogs like Carmine- and great mixed breeds/mutts.
Thx for saving a life- and setting a good example.
If only more people knew that a great degree of animal suffering goes on in order to keep those puppy stores in business :-(

Michael Dick, I mean Vick
I was just coming here to post about the new "reality" show. And we're supposed to believe this? Here's a snarky article about it.
From dog abuse to federal prison straight to reality TV. That's where Michael Vick's life appears to be headed. What a unique little culture we've created for ourselves here.
A reality show is part of Vick's plan after being released from prison, and according to a Reuters article today, A&E and Spike TV are the best bets to land a Vick show.
I have no doubts that it will happen, but my hope is that it doesn't turn into the Michael Vick PR show. I don't want to see Vick posing for the cameras while volunteering at a soup kitchen, and I don't want the show to be all about all the wonderful things Vick is doing to rehab his image. Some of that will happen, I'm sure, and that's good, but that can't be the show's major focus. Vick can't control the message.
I want the truth. I want real access. I want a gritty hand-held shot of Vick leaning over the fence at a park, watching people play with their dogs, observing his internal struggle to jump the fence, kidnap a golden retriever, and choke it out.
Or maybe he should go the route of a practical joke show, like Howie Mandel in "Howie Do It." The twist here is that someone calls a local dog-walking service, and it's Vick who shows up to take Rover for a walk. Or someone takes their dog into the groomer's, and it's Vick standing there with a bottle of shampoo, a brush, and a mischevious grin.
Or maybe he could just serve as a giant scratching post/chew toy at the Westminster Dog Show. I don't know. I'm not a TV producer. I'm just an ideas man.
In all seriousness, whatever happens, I hope it works out for the best for Vick. And if, along the way, we got a glimpse of him as a real person, and got to observe a truly remorseful guy trying to get his life back on track, it could be a good thing for him and make for excellent television.

Been a loyal listener for many year, BUT i would like to know what is the deal with the Hot Mom contest. I know that many of the station's listeners are woman, So why isn't there a Hot Dad's contest . Hot mom's don't do anything for me. (Kelly your beautiful) I would prefer to look at some hot dad.

MISSING IN PATERSON, NJ --- WINSTON
Hello listeners of Paterson, NJ & surrounding areas. My American Bulldog, Winston is 'missing'. I left him in the hands of a woman named ELLEN while I was between moves. She was to give him back when I got moved. I called her Saturday afternoon (11/7) and was told by her that he died a week and a half ago!!!! She's telling me a long story which is total BS, and the more I've been told, the less I believe! She drives a white wagon full of clutter! She put Winston in her front seat when she picked him up from me in Garfield on Oct 5. He has a benign growth on his right shoulder and another smaller one on his right rear foot. (She said as soon as seeing him on Oct 5, she'll see about having them checked out & removed if it was ok with me) I am searching for legal advice so I can proceed with a lawsuit against her. If you have any info you believe to be helpful, please contact me asap! Thanks, Chris 845.380.1202 scruffy.dogs@yahoo.com

Love the work you do for animals!
I am truly touched by the stories you relay about pets needing adoption. I am a true dog lover - 6 year old yellow lab named Reno and 10 month old cavachon (bichon frise and cavalier king charles spaniel) named Rocky. They give unconditional love - greet me each day I come home from work with tails wagging! Nothing better! Love listening to you each day at the office - but I do have one criticism...this "hottest Mom contest"...really? So glad you were uncomfortable saying "cougar or kitten". It really doesn't fit with the station...obviously the guys don't think so. Anyway, think it's kind of comical. Keep up the good work. I will continue listening despite the silly contest I keep hearing about. C. Fried

Something to share with you:
Yesterday i was outside cleaning up doing the lawn and washing the cars. As i was picking up grass i turned around and standing there on my lawn was a Beautiful Pit Bull which by the way makes me very nervous. I started taking to it in a very low and calm voice and the Dog came closer to me. I gave it some water from the hose and it drank like no tomorrow. Now i have just gotten back from the deli and i bought some roast beef that i was going to have for lunch. I told the Dog to stay and i ran in the house to get the roast beef, we both sat on my stoop and ate the whole entire pound of the nice and rare roast beef. All of a sudden this car goes by, stops, goes in reverse and pulls up infront of my house. A guy gets out with two little boys and both boys started crying, I guess they were so happy that they found their Pet. The Father was just as happy and he wanted to know how in the name of God did i get the Dog to come over to me. I told him that i very nervous at first but after i gave the Dog some water he just stood by me. He told me that the Dog doesn't like Strangers and i replied by saying, I been attracting Dogs all of my life, Both two and four leged. He offered me $200.00 by which i would not accept. Nice story with a very Happy ending.

Unforgiveable
Dear Maria, Thank you so much for speaking up for animals.
It is outrageous that Michael Vick has a job paying him millions after what he did to those poor animals. The NFL should be ashamed of themselves. Especially the Philadelphia Eagles.
The only positive thing to come out of this horrific story is the attention it has brought to dog fighting. The publicity, along with Michael Vick and the Humane Society's campaigns against dog fighting, may help save some dogs and other animals from this cruel fate. Whether or not Michael Vick is sincerely remorseful (how could he be), the end result will be that some dogs will be saved.
The cruelty of many in the human race is disgraceful. St. Francis Of Assisi so aptly said, "If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who deal likewise with their fellow men".

Totally disgusted
I am so disgusted by this Michael Vick situation. What does it say about our society if we can allow someone who has been so cruel to animals back into a public, high paying job? I understand he has served his time in prison, but to allow him to go back to pro sports is unacceptable im my opinion. I am sure there are several other candidates for backup quarterback who have NOT been convicted of a crime. We need to become a society that refuses to accept animal cruelty. Allowing Vick back into the NFL sends a bad message in my opinion to all of the other dog fighters out there.

Insults
Anybody opposed to the idea of Michael Vick suffering and dying should realize that he's an insult to our race. Who gives a damn if he throws a ball around? There's a whole league of respectable people doing so, who can be positive role models for our nation's children. Holding him in any light of respect or admiration only contributes to a growing violent and nasty nature in all youths who look up to him. Perhaps people don't realize just how terrible dogfighting is. Maybe instead of just petitions, we should find a way to teach people the ultimate suffering that all of the animals go through, outside of the ones who fight. Have you ever had a rash of dognappings in your area? People like Michael Vick steal people's pets because they are generally timid animals, then they disable them and use them as dummies for their fighting dogs to tear apart. Once the dog is done, they leave your pet to bleed to death. Is football still more important than your family's sweet little puppy? Just to add, I wonder if you bought that puppy. There's thousands in shelters that are sweeter, not prone to disease, and cheaper that actually depend on you to live. I guess America doesn't realize how terrible they are, what with so much propaganda protecting us from what we could be doing. Did you know that Hitler used propaganda too? He killed approximately thirteen million people over six years. Did you know that in America, we murder ten million dogs EVERY SINGLE YEAR?
Ms. Milito, thank you for helping to call attention to the dogfighting problem with your blog.

Degenerate Michael Vick
vick is a degenerate, disgusting, dispicable lowlife as well as an insult to the world. He knew what he was doing is horrendous and don't be fooled - is still involved in some shape, matter or form. He has not changed his life around - he got caught. Money talks. He thought "I'll be a phony and say what they want to hear so then I can still make millions off of stupid people who are as money-hungry as I am and will excuse me. A sports figure?! That's an insult to all the wonderful athletes out there. A role model?! A children's idol?! Heaven help us if the children want to grow "up" like this vile piece of garbage! Don't want to sink to his level, but he should experience what he did to those poor, innocent animals. Every person who sees him on the street should spit in his face. I can hope that one day he is walking down the street and a pitbull goes for his jugular, the dog runs off and everyone just stands around watching him bleed to death. Heartless? you say - that's right - just like vick is! He deserves no less.

60 Minutes Interview
Dear Maria,
I could not watch the interview,for I would probably have kicked my TV. I still do not think Micahel Vick should play any sport where our children look up to them as role models. As far as I am concerned he is a piece of garbage. To me it is saying it is ok to do any harm to an animal,you get a few months and a slap on the wrist, then get to do what you love play football. I know that there is a higher power. So he can whitewash what he did as long as he wants,but it will come back to him in other ways. Do unto others as you would have others do onto you.
I am sick at the thought that this Dirtbag Michael Vick making the big bucks again. I knew that some hero would sign this Jerk. I would love to see that one Sunday they would have " bring your pet to the ballgame " Just like the NY Mets did at Shea. Let Vick look around and see just how many animals lovers there are in this world. Better yet, let Vick hand feed everyone of them.

True brutality and the real insite to Michale Vics Heart
Hello Maria i spoke last night on NY1 with you that was the first time i eaver did that in my life. My mind was racing with so many thoughts. Im sorry i didn't say the most inpotant insite to VICS TRUE HEART and MIND// You must be a very sadistict cruel insensesitive person to Cut Mutalate Drownd Pull Teath Electracute and HHHAAAANNNGGGG animials for the purpose of Sport and fun. I really Feel that if you capable of diong this to animals that love and forgive freely without pregidios. That shows the true nature of your Heart and soul. I am irish and when i think of theses artrocities i just cant help but think how these very same things were done to people 60Plus years ago.If you can do yhis to Loving Uncondishannly animals then you can do it to people// its not hard to believe that because your soul and mind and heart is for lack of a beter word is dark These are not the actions of a kind person that deserves a position in to shine again. Michale Vic Needs thorazime and mental counsaling and lot of therapy,and if there is light in his heart maby with all that help he can turn his life around.I just cant help but to think about Herbing Gooding Jr. The actor when he says SHOW ME THE MONEY. God help us all . The Shame is on Philly michale Vic did not pay for his actions Plexico berris deserves a 2nd chance. Shame on philly shame / Is this what we want to show the younger generation mabey money is the root of all evel wanna teach are youth ban michale from sports and that will send a huge message to the children MIKE deserves a 2nd chance yes!!!!! Hea has it he is out of jail and his 2nd chance has begun america is a great country i love this there is no other like it. Well im sorry for ranting so let me stop and i will leave you with the words of Heraldo Reviria 20/20 GIVE ME A BREAK PLEASE. By the way Q104.3 Rocks NY.

vick
Maria, you are being gullible. That person who wrote that letter about michael vick is obviously a fan of his and has merely come up with a creative excuse to justify his being reinstated in the NFL. Having been in the NFL previously even though he was making a ton of money didn't stop vick from being involved in dog fighting, so that guy's reasoning is a load of bull. I don't care if the creep can ever make a living again. Put him back in jail. He should never be forgiven and he should never have been allowed back in the NFL. But the NFL obviously has no morals or standards. I would guess that if simpson had been a player when he murdered his ex-wife and her friend he probably would have been reinstated.

Islip Animal Shelter
The Town of Islip Council is looking to lay off 5 out of 6 dog wardens. If this happens, who is going to pick up the injured and sick animals? How long will they have to suffer and wait for help? We need to let the council know that we will not except that. Why should the animals suffer so much through cut backs? What else are they going to be willing to take away from the shelter? Let Phil Nolan know we wont except this.

40 years
This week marks the 40th anniversary of the vicious Manson family slayings. Susan Atkins, who held Sharon Tate down while she was being stabbed, has a scheduled parole hearing on Sept 2, 2009. Since Atkins has brain cancer, the parole board may be more sympathetic to her this time. If you believe this woman should remain in jail, you can write a letter to the parole board. Go to http://tatefamilylegacy.com/index.html and click on BLOCK PAROLE for more info. It's an injustice to the Tate and LaBiancha familes to have her paroled.

A Dirtbag is a Dirtbag:
You cannot change a person, when you're a Dirtbag growing up, you remain a Dirtbag. This guy Vick most likely when he was a kid, killed or just plain hurt so many cats and Dogs, I bet you. The shame of it all is that in his pea of a brain, he did nothing wrong. There are so many people out there just like him. In my opinion, A person who hurts any animal in any way should be treated in the same manner as if he/she hurt a Human Being. I have no respect for this guy nor do i have any respect for anyone who harms an animal. All i know is that when i come across a situation and some s&%thead is beating or kicking an animal I GO CRAZY!!! Maria can back me up on this, right Maria?

NY Post cartoon
That cartoon is great! Vicks just got a slap on the wrist as far as I'm concerned as did the girl down here in FL that left her dog to starve in a crate (she got 6 mos in jail). And I see that Cherry girl got sentenced to 1 yr in prison--that is excellent. The only way to stop animal cruelty is to bring it to the public's attention like Maria does. Hopefully the more public outcry on cases like these will mean longer jail time.

Vicks a freeman
Dear Maria,
I know my opinion about this man,but it breaks my heart to see that you can abuse an animal and really get away with it. I hope he never plays any sport where he makes a living at it. I do hope they ban him from Football. He forgets that he must meet his maker someday,and he will be held accountable for his actions. I can only wonder if he does this to an animal,what would he do to a humanbeing?

Dog story
Maria,
I heard your story regarding your dog and the projectile vomiting on the rug. I just want to commend you for being a lover of animals (dogs especially). I have 2 dogs of my own (golden retreiver and lab/shepherd mix) and 4 cats (including a maine coon).
My house is never really what you would call clean, as my dogs/cats - vomit/poop/pee etc. but I wouldn't trade in my guys for anything, I love them all!
Oh, I love my wife and kids too, especially since they tolerate my guys (LOL).
All the best to you, and thanks for sharing your love of animals!

The Dog Whisperer...........
Hi Maria, and very belated happy birthday (me bad!)
A little reminder for all the animal lovers/Q-listeners...this Friday May 8th on the National Geographic Channel Cesar Milan devotes his show 'The Dog Whisperer' to puppy mills. He's an amazing person and I think it's great to have him lend his voice and share his insight. The inhumane treatment and barbaric conditions that goes on inside these puppy mills has to stop. The people that run them only care about the profit, not about the animals. We have to do what we can with the help of our elected officials to put an end to it. We have to be the voice for the thousands of pups that can't be heard. Let's all do our part before they're all silenced forever.
Thanks & take care everyone!

Maria~ Thank you for always lending your voice to those that cannot speak for themselves - animals. Most recently, thanks for spreading the word to New Yorkers about the shameful new NYCHA Regulation that bans pit bulls, Dobermans and Rottweilers.

reply to David
David, I understand his girls were promised they would get a dog. However, I do not believe his daughters asked to get a dog from the Kennedy's breeder. Regardless of how they got this dog, Obama made public they were getting a dog and would adopt a dog. Wayne Pascalle fro the Humane Society has called this a "quasi adoption" because the dog was supposedly retruned to the breeder. I stand by my orig posting. I am still disappointed.

Reply to David..
David, I am very happy that the girls got their WISH of having a dog and I firmly believe EVERY dog deserves a caring, loving home.. Shelter Dog or NOT...
HOWEVER... As you may know, Millions of Shelter Dogs are put down each year and it would have been a more POSITIVE message to his girls and to our country, to BRING them to a shelter (YES, they are OLD enough now to understand what an Animal Shelter is and what goes on there) and choose one that would fit their needs and lifestyle.. Open their hearts and minds to "Animal Rescue".. With our economy in the toilet, families are surrending their beloved pets to shelters & it breaks a ton of hearts every day..
Again, they could have gotten 5 dogs with the STAFF in the White House that tends to all the beloved pets! Bo and then a rescue would have been ideal - who knows hopefully they will..
It is also time for parents to call the SHOTS.. I am raising 2 little men - 2 boys - ages are 5 and 2 and the word NO is USED here more than you can imagine.. AAhhhh... but parenting is another conversation.. lol

Give Obama a break
Sue - This dog is a gift for Sasha and Melia for putting up with a gruling 2 year campaign. If your children fell in love with a friend's dog, and they were trying to find a good home for him, how could you tell them no? Sorry girls, I know you are in love with this dog but I already said we were going to get a dog from a shelter.
"But Daddy, I LOVE BO! We already know him, we like him, Im not allergic to him either, please DADDY" Fine, the public will have to live with it.
Posted By: David - Friday, April 17th 2009 @ 6:39pm
Bo - reply to Vicki
Vicki - I am with you & extremely disheartened that the Obama Family decided to take a dog as a "GIFT" from Sen. Kennedy..
Give me a flippin' break.. How convenient was that? It was all staged & easy for the Obama's to accept, leaving them in the clear to say "Oh, it was a gift from the Kennedy's how could we say NO?"
How about giving a poor Shelter Dog "Allergy Free" one at that, a GIFT of a NEW LIFE to live like a KING in the White House... They could have gotten 5 dogs with all the staff assisting their pets in the White House..
It just Kills me.. Another reason WHY I am happy I did NOT vote for Obama.........
DOGS RULE and Maria ROCKS!

Bo
As an animal lover and animal rights advocate, I'm very disappointed in the President for not sticking to his promise of adopting a shelter dog. I've read that his daughter has allergies so they need to get an "allergy free" dog. If they had really looked into a shelter animal, they would have found that there are many dogs in shelters that are allergy free. Very often shelters take in dogs that have been rescued from puppy mills that are allergy free. Just one more politician that doesn't keep his promises. I'm not surprised, but I am disappointed.

I was thrilled to be a winner and guest of Ms. Milito for an incredible dinner and Broadway show last night. Yes, she IS a sweetheart and as wonderful as I imagined her to be ☺
We all met at Abboccato’s where my family enjoyed an amazing three-course meal. We each had different entrees and they were all delicious! The appetizers and desserts were just perfect. The service was excellent – professional, attentive and friendly.
Next we walked down to the theater where we were thrilled to find out we had orchestra seats for ROCK Of AGES. The show was incredible! If you like rock you HAVE to see this show. I was shocked to realize I knew the words to all the songs – even to the songs that had not been my favorites back in the 80s. It’s just a part of you. Even our children, ages 23 and 20, enjoyed the show – they knew this music, as this is what we had on the radio while they were growing up.
Of course, there were some funny bits that you could only appreciate if you actually lived through the 80s. I’m talking tears-streaming-down-the-face hysterically funny! I couldn’t stop laughing!
The acting was terrific, the music was fabulous, the staging echoed some of the old rock videos, the writing was witty and funny, there was a happy ending – ROCK OF AGES was aces!
Thank you Maria and the Q!!! You are the BEST!!!

Thanks Sue in Seattle/Anthony the Firefighter.
Sue, Thankyou for Responding to my Posting concerning those two Meatheads from Brooklyn. You Know, the Scewball that threw the Cat at her Deadbeat Boyfriend. You're correct when you said about them Riding my Bus, God help them because I would stop the Bus right in the middle of the Manhattan Bridge, Open the Doors and throw them both right off the Bridge and into the East River. But first I would give her a kick in that fat ass of hers. God forgive me, I was such a nice kid growing up. What have i become. LOL. Take good care Sue and Thanks again. And as for you Firefighter Anthony, you are my Friend for life and i don't even know you. But just seeing you giving that Dog CPR made me so proud of you. I promise you this Anthony and I'm not Kidding, If I ever hit Lotto you will be the first person I look up. You will be set for life, Thanks for being you and May God Bless.

Valerie Bertinelli
You mentioned on the air the other day that you thought Valerie Bertinelli looked different on the cover of People Magazine. I just got my copy and I can't agree more!! I don't know if it's air-brushing or surgery but her face is definitely different. She just doesn't look like herself.

Tossing your Furry Friend?? - Reply to Dennis...
Hi Dennis! I just read what you read in the NY Post, that did not make the news out here in the North West, yet I am sure it will.. UN-FREAKIN'-BELIEVABLE! I am shocked... How dare she.........Made my stomach turn..........
That freak of a person should be ordered to work in an animal shelter and help find homeless animals a home for one year.. How dare she................Better yet, let's toss her off the Empire State Building, how would she like it? ugg......
Lord help them if they ever end up on your bus!
P.S. I used to live in NJ (born in raised) and have only been in Seattle for almost 2 years now.. Relocated for my husband's job... However, totally miss my NJ & NY family & friends and will head back in June - can't wait for some real pizza & bagels! lol

Someone Help me with this:
I read a Story in the NY Post today about a Couple that had a nasty Fight and The Boy Friend had the Young Lady Arrested. To be Honest, I could care less about either one of them. But I have a Problem with the Fact that the Woman picked up one of her two Cats and threw the poor Animal across the room at her Boy Friend. Thank the Lord the Cat wasn't injured, But what did that Animal feel being thrown like that. I bet it was scared to Death. No Charges are being filed because the Cat didn't get hurt. So what does this mean? Are the courts telling people that it's alright to throw your Pet across the room or out a window as long as the Animal doesn't het hurt. GIVE ME A BREAK!!! What the Hell is wrong here, or is it me. Am i missing something???....

Ever hear of the "Privacy 1,2,3" phrase? I forget how it actually goes, but I've learned that animals need privacy too. I was having a party at my house when my cat had to use the litterbox, which at the time didn't have a top because i was short on cash so just bought the cheapest thing. And he was SO annoyed. So I moved the litter box to a more secluded area, and eventually got him the "super bathroom delux 3000". I was both shocked and stunned. Mostly at myself for never have given a thought about it. He doesn't like to be watched while he's sleeping either... strange as that may sound.
I have learned through time, practice, and school, to respect him and listen to him and correct him if he's wrong. We "discuss" things.
Language barriers... (?)

Thanks Maria.
I had a real nice day at work today, Driving my Bus and enjoying the Beautiful Weather. Not a single person gave me the Finger or called me a single curse word. It was indeed a Beautiful Day. But that all came to an end once i viewed Maria's Web Page. All i saw was Michael Vicks name and found out he is getting out of Jail only to finish his time at home. Give me a break please!!!!!!. He should finish up his time at the ASPCA learning how to treat and take care of the Animals of this world. But no, just let him sit at home and live it up. Crap like this makes me go crazy. So let me thank you Maria for ending my day on a sour note. I will always love you for what you do and how much you care about our Beautiful Animals, But Michael Vick is a sore spot with me. God Bless you Maria and all of your Loyal Listeners. Thankyou.

He is so lucky that you adopted him. Little does he know that he got one of the best "moms" ever. I don't think he would be so healthy and certainly not as happy without you. I agree with Clem--he has the cutest mug. Seeing a new pic of the big ragu always brings a smile to my face! Congrats! Thanks for sharing.

Best wishes Maria to you and your adoring pup Carmine the Big Ragu on your first year together. In spite of all the things our pets do to drive us crazy they give us unconditional love and loyalty in return. They can make you mad, make you cry, make you laugh and they'll always be there for you no matter what. I couldn't imagine my life without my two kitties. You and Carmine have a great day and many, many more years of happiness. Love and smooches, Colleen

Just another Hollerday
Yo Maria - So sorry that I'm late in checking out your words, but I cannot help but writing to you that you are not the only female who doesn't like valentines day, I'm a male without the "fe" and I don't like it and just that Valentines day I saw a girl with a tee shirt on V-day that said "LOVE STINKS". So, I said, 'yeah, yeah!"
But that is the kind of day that was invented for people who don't know how to love, so they have to have a day dedicated to what they forget.
And, I'm sorry that you wrote about soured boyfriends, but just so you know New York loves you and we are far more intense and everlasting than any past memory that you may have, and we (plumbers, contractors, truck drivers and laborors who listen to you) send you roses and chocolate every day through our radios from our ears. The spirit of love - when it is felt through the music of rock is cosmically and infinately beyond any stupid holiday - oh and by the way have you ever noticed in New York, the day after a holiday you can always see remnants of that past holiday, (oh, x-mas with her dry trees, and halloween with her smashed pumpkins), well just the other day somewhere on Broadway I saw a pigeon eating some broken red and pink valentine candy, then i saw a squashed balloon that must have said something about love, but I couldn't see - the rubber tire smooshed it.
Anyway, my point is, the spirit of love that your listeners feel for you can never be smashed and eaten by a pigeon, can never be squashed and suffocated by a tire, because it was born out of the art of music and since you deliver it everyday (like a very cute pizza deliverer) you are better than any holiday, (except the fourth of July, I'm a softy for fireworks!) Anyway, XXXXXXOOOOO

banning pit bulls
There is no such thing as BAD DOGS/OR ANIMALS - it is BAD PEople --
A dog will react to the way it is raised !!!! when you have an animal it should be treated as another child - they need vet appts, food, to be groomed and to be exercised -
I am so tired of hearing people say - IT's just a DOG!!!
and while the economy is horrible - the first to go are the family pet ??? I just dont understand why there are so many breeders when the shelters are full ---

RE: the potential banning of pit bulls
As with most pets, Pitbulls are ferocious if not treated correctly. They are mean when the owner is mean to them and nice when the owner is nice to them. At least, that's what I've seen and observed from "news" stories. Remember the news story go for gory and teaar jerking stories. I would like to know how many pitbull owners out there have not had problems of the type we hear about. Do I hear "Silent Majority"?
But what do I know?
Posted By: Dan - Thursday, February 5th 2009 @ 10:16am
Thanks Colleen, You take good care also.
Thanks Colleen, Thankyou for caring enough to respond to my letter. You're right, I should have called the Police, but I was so upset I couldn't think straight. But as far as me getting hurt goes, If it's meant to be that I get blown away helping either a person or an animal, Well like The Beatles said, " Let it be "...... Maybe I care a bit too much, But it's the way I'm made Colleen. When I came home that day from work with a swollen right eye and two fat lips, My Wife said to me, What Happened? I told her and she hit me right upside my head. She thinks I'm stupid and it's not just because I drive a Bus for a living, but it's also due to the fact that I'm always getting beat up trying to do the right thing. Ok, life goes on, Thanks again and you take good care.
Posted By: Dennis The Bus Driver: - Wednesday, February 4th 2009 @ 9:55pm
Hope you're feeling better Denis......
I admire your compassion and I know in your heart you wanted to help the poor dog but you should have called the police and/or animal control. The next time you run into a creep abusing an animal he might be carrying more than just a cellphone. Take care of yourself.
Posted By: Colleen, Bay Ridge, Brooklyn - Wednesday, February 4th 2009 @ 11:25am
I'll do it again and again:
I just felt that i wanted to share this story with Maria's Friends. This i have done so many times in my life and that is, come to the aid of an animal who was being abused. Today i was Driving my Bus and stopped for a red light down on Canal Street right before the Manhattan Bridge. I didn't have any Passengers on the Bus at the time because i was going back to my Depot. Any way i observed this guy kicking and dragging his Dog ( a small bull Dog ) while he was talking on his cell phone. I opened the door and told him to stop, He told me to " shut the F*c* up "..... I got out of the Bus and said, if you don't want the Dog just give it to me, but please just don't hurt it anymore. Well, to cut the story short, he tied the dog to a parking meter and came after me. I have a Fat upper Lup, a swollen right eye and a pair of broken glasses. I didn't get one punch in, but i still feel i did the right thing and I'll do it again. What gets me is that not one person came to my aid, no body cared enough to help me or the poor animal. I know, I should've called the Cops but i decided not to.

the potential banning of pit bulls
Banning pit bulls is a good idea. While I don't exactly blame the breed, I know that a lot of people purchase them because of their tough guy image (aka: "ain't nobody gonna mess with me"). So many people are so status driven that they don't even make the time (or claim that they don't have the time) to train/condition them properly. Do pit bulls have more aggressive tendencies than other breeds? Does anybody really know? I don't like Yorkies, but if an aggressive Yorkie tried to attack my leg, I wouldn't be too worried...but a pit bull? Now there's something to watch out for. I just think that there aren't enough responsible pet owners out there....

One Drop
Hey Pete, chill out a little. No, the "one-drop rule" was NEVER right. All I'm saying to those who are getting so self-righteous about people/press not talking about his white heritage as much as his African heritage is to look at it from a different viewpoint. It was not so long ago that whites would have put him in the black category, no questions asked.
Obama has always embraced both sides of his family and talked about both during his campaign. Did he not visit his dying white grandmother? She meant the world to him and he took precious time out from his campaign to be with her.
Yes, he was elected and everyone is kumbaya for now - but if whites think that there is true racial equality, just because we have an African-American president, then they are delusional. My daughter and her Teach For America colleagues are in the trenches everyday dealing with the results of racial inequality. It did not magically dispappear on Jan. 20th. We have not moved as much as you would like to think, but I do believe with awareness and work on everyone's part we will eventually get there.
I'm glad that you "...could care less what race he or anyone is." That's a start. Peace.
Posted By: Maria (not Milito, LOL) - Monday, January 26th 2009 @ 2:27pm
Bi Racial
So it wasn't all that long ago that the one drop rule was in effect. Does that make it right? We have moved past that on so many levels so why is it pertinent today? Do his mother and grandmother not count? Did they not raise him? Where was his father when he was growing up? Was he not raised in mostly white suberban neighborhoods and educated at "white" schools? to ignore that part of his heritage is just wrong and deceitful.I hope and pray that he is the right man for the job at this time and will back him as the leader of our country. I could care less what race he or anyone is. I just think we all should be truthful about our heritage. Lets live in the present and not use past mistakes as an excuse for anything today. After all, It wasn't that long ago that blacks could not play major league baseball. Now we honer the man who had the courage to break that unjustice, and have moved on to the betterment of the game. Lets do the same in all aspects of life.

Pride in their faces.....
AS I WAS WATCHING THE REPLAY OF THE INAUGURATION THE OTHER NIGHT I WAS IMPRESSED BY THE RAPT ATTENTION OF ALL THOSE IN THE ASSEMBLED CROWD, MANY WHO HAD TEARS STREAMING DOWN THEIR CHEEKS, BOTH BLACK AND WHITE. THE AMOUNT OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE CROWD WITH THOSE JOYOUS EXPRESSIONS ON THEIR FACES ALSO SHOWS US THAT THE POLITICAL PROCESS IN OUR COUNTRY WORKS; IT MIGHT HAVE A FEW CRACKS AND FLAWS IN IT BUT AS A WHOLE.....IT WORKS! I CONGRATULATE PRESIDENT OBAMA ON HIS ELECTION AND I WISH HIM ALL THE BEST FOR A SUCCESSFUL FIRST TERM IN OFFICE.

One-Drop Rule
For everyone who is is now touting President Obama as "half-white" and complaining that his mother's white side is not getting as much coverage as his African-American side - it was not so long ago that the "one-drop rule" was in effect. If a person had even one drop of African-American blood in them, they were considered African-American. This convention never applied to any other race. Funny how the tables are turned now and some people want to get "credit" for his white side.
For a good article on the subject see this web site: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/jefferson/mixed/onedrop.html
I am just so impressed with President Obama (I love to say that) - his intelligence, critical thinking skill, calm demeanor, humility and steadfastness. It's nice to once again have a President who can put grammatically correct and coherent sentences together.
Oh - and that flub during the oath? Justice Roberts's fault - he was feeding Obama an incorrect line, so Obama stopped to give him a chance to correct himself. Roberts did not - hence the oath "do-over" in the WH on Wednesday. Read the papers, it's all there. Roberts misplaced the word faithfully. One would think the Chief Justice could get the 35 words of the oath right. Think again.

Barack Obama-For President
I have campagined for Barack Obama,and am very happy to see he won. I don't really care if he was purple.This country is in big trouble and we need help. I liked the way he looked us in the eye and told America we need to stand tall and together as a Nation we will over come these troubles. We must help each other when we can,and remember it will not happen over night but we must start some where to fix the problems. Rome was not built in a day,these problems are the results of greed and lying to the American People. We must give him a chance to help fix the problems along with our help.
My sentiments exactly Clem! In my opinion Barack Obama is not the first African American president ... he's the first BI-RACIAL president. It baffles me that no one mentions the fact that his mother was white, but everyone is fixated on the fact that his father was black. He is genetically 50% white & 50% black ... equal parts of each race. I voted for him because I felt he was the right candidate for the job ... not because he's half white ... how many African Americans can say the same?
Posted By: Jen - Thursday, January 22nd 2009 @ 9:55am
mr.obama cont'd.
forgot to include in my last posting..yes,i was very disapointed that not once..did mr. obama mention his mother!!yes,mr.obama is our 1st racially mixed president,and he and we as americans should be equally proud of that fact!!and it should have been an important fact in his address to the people..even the press has never mentioned that fact...so,yes to that extent,he has already misled then american public..regardless it was a very historic day in our generation,one we'll never forget..we'll do just fine!!
yup,no doubt..the big ragu is part boxer,and sure loves to pose for the pic's!!gotta love him!!we sure do!!as for our new president..the people spoke and we as americans have to accept that regardless of our political preference's.and as the proud americans we are weve got to get behind mr.obama,and get this beautiful land of ours on track again!!we're a mess due to corporate greed,unemployment and 2 wars,that came about in the last administration,so president obama and his cabinet have inherited a daunting task..we,ve become a "spoiled,let's spend now,and worry about it later"generation!myself included!!remember strength is in numbers,so we,ve got to give mr.obama a chance to bring about "change"..and,mr.obama did not screw up the oath of office..the supreme court justice giving the oath did,and mr.obama paused to allow him to correct himself...c'mon,lets try!!clem..sayreville,n.j.
So many comments here and elsewhere about what Obama is and isn't going to do. Hey, can we just step back and give him a chance? Does anybody REALLY think that things could get worse than the last 8 years? Besides, Obama is not running the country alone--as far as I know we still have a House and Senate and he has a Cabinet of advisors. Comment to Laura--they're called Anger Management classes, why don't you sign up for one?

Do you really think a man who has a zero record of accomplishing anything other than running for office is going to change this country and make everything right? You people need to get your rose colored glasses off and leave Oz. Let's talk in 2 yrs after hes mucked up our very constitution and way of life and lets see how the change in congress is made. May the republicans in office get back to their fiscal roots and slow down govt spending. I for one dont want or need a welfare handout. Welfare = lazy .

Obama
I did not vote for Obama and think the country made a grave mistake electing him. Just the fact that he is touting himself as the first black president and not the first mixed race pres. shows you something about his character. However that being said now that he is in office i hope he can do a quarter of what he promised to do. He is the leader of this great country and we all ne to support him and hope for the best.

Obama
People like Graham crack me up. It has been 8 years and they still cannot get over the 2000 election. The "stolen election" argument conveniently ignores the fact that when the various newspapers clamoring for a full recount got together and commissioned their own, under various counting scenarios, they found that Bush still would have won Florida! The ultimate irony is that the MoveOn! people can't seem to move on themselves beyond unadulterated hatred for all things Bush.

So Obama is set to become the next CEO of this Beautiful Country called America, I wish him all the luck in the world. This guy is going to fix everything and indeed will do just that. Obama will not fail, He can't fail, They won't let him fail, There is no way that America's first half African American President is going to go down in the History books as a Failure. The powers to be will make Damn sure Obama will be the greatest President ever. Hey!!! so what, as long as he gets this country up and running again. God Bless America and everyone take good care.

Laura, I am a republican and did not vote for Obama. I do not support him, but at the same time I am an American and want this country to be the best it can be. Therefore, I will not treat Obama the way the Democrats and far left treated Bush. I'm not happy with this election, but I will cast my vote again in 4 years.
Posted By: Vicki - Monday, January 19th 2009 @ 3:34pm
Obama's Inauguration
Laura is half-right in her comments. The left never gave Bush a chance and sought to undermine his authority to govern from the first moment. Now Obama comes in, having voted (when he actually attended the Senate) and run as a very liberal politician, and those of us who don't agree with the policies he has espoused do not want him to succeed in implementing them, because we believe they will hurt the country. On the other hand, we don't want him to have a failed presidency like Jimmy Carter's, from which the country on certain levels (ie Iran) still hasn't recovered.

Supporting the New Preasident
Laura,
First, Bush did steal the election in 2000. And second, Obama received 365 electoral votes. Nuff said. Just follow "W" back to OZ where you both can pick up your brains. Respect is given when it is deserved Laura. Bush was the first president with an MBA, how's that working out for you? Oh and if Maria won't tell you I will..F you Laura.

Not supporting the new president
Support the new president? Just like the democrats did with Bush right from the beginning when they referred to him as illegitimate, accusing him of having "stolen" the election and have been hostile to him ever since? F&%k you malito. As far as I'm concerned, the new president should be accorded the same respect as the other side did with Bush. I know you don't have the guts to let this post through.

New York IS the best!!!
Maria, I totally agree with you about NY and especially New Yorkers being the best. NY always gets a bad rap and I don't understand why. I am formerly from Chicago and I used to go to NY every year on business. I walked a lot but I also took buses and cabs and NEVER was anyone rude to me. If I was lost they helped me find my way. People were talkative and friendly, and yeah, you can always find someone who is having a bad day and willing to take it out on you, but honestly, that never happened to me. Don't get me wrong, I love Chicago, it is also a terrific city and my roots will always be firmly planted there. But experiencing NY is something that everyone should do, at least once in a lifetime. Go visit and you will see what I mean!

I just wanted to say Thankyou to Tara and Jason for all that they have done for the Beautiful Animals of this World. I wish both of you the best of luck in the future and may God bless you both. I don't know you but i truly respect what you have done over the years. If my Angel Maria Milito says that you're the best well that's that. Also, To Clem and Family, Happy New Year and most of all a Healthy one. Just to share this with people who give a crap, I almost ran over a NYC Cop with my Bus on Friday down on Canal Street. Let me tell you that the reason i almost ran her over was because she was alittle bit taller than a fire hydrant. Her gun belt was hitting the ground while she was walking across the street. I bet you she had to buy her uniform @ toys r us, that is just how small she was. Just another day in the life of a NYC Bus Driver.

Just Call for Help
I was out last week and just read about you helping that guy up from the train tracks. I totally agree with your mom, Maria, what if he had pulled you down?? Yikes, I can't even think about it. He jumped down there--it's not like he got sick and fell or was pushed (I witnessed that in the Chicago subway once). It shows how kind and considerate you are to help, but please don't do that again. And don't stand too close to the platform edge, there are a lot of crazies out there.

Hey Maria, What would us loyal listeners do, and who would be here to take care of the Animals of this planet if this guy would've pulled you down on the tracks with him ? I'm sure you thought about that later on. But i think you did the right thing and i'm so proud of you for putting your life on the line to help a person who truly needed your help. Like i said many of times before, This world is a better place with you here ( in one piece ) to make people happy with the Music you play and the things that you do for the Beautiful animals of this world. I mean it!!!.... I agree with Clem, It's Christmas time. Not Holiday time. When i put on that red suit and perform Santa for people, I don't shout out " HAPPY HOLIDAY " I shout out " MERRY CHRISTMAS " and that's just what it is Christmas. There's no changing it for me. And i do 100% agree with Zarko, I too miss Alison Steele. She was great, " THE NIGHTBYRD " Wow! I'll never forget her, never. Be safe out there and may God bless and watch over all of us.

Hi Maria
I was just talking to a friend about the purchase of a dog coat. I think that Lands End has a much better choice. It is a combo of water-proof on the outside and fleece lining. Around the neck it has a velcro and velcro strap under the chest.
My dog had very short fur(weimaraner) and it always seem to keep him warm. I hope you will check it out before you make your choice.

What a rotten day i had today Driving my Bus From Queens to the Wall Street Area in the morning and bringing the people home at night. I must of gotten the finger at least 20 times. But when i got home and visited this web-site, I JUMPED FOR JOY. After reading Chris' comment about Michael ( Dirtbag ) Vick, I forgot all about my rotten day, I took a Shower, Said Good night to my two Dogs ( Rosie and Stinky ) and attacked the Wife!!!..... We haven't had Sex in over two years, THANKYOU CHRIS, NJ.

GOOD TO HEAR!!!!
Michael Vick lives in a prison in Kansas, making 12 cents an hour while plotting his return to the NFL. His houses and farms will soon be gone, the two yachts are history, and he’s down to his last couple of Range Rovers.
A race horse he bought for $60,000 died of colic, the Atlanta Falcons are still trying to hit him up for millions they paid him, and the IRS and the state of Georgia want nearly $1 million in back taxes.
In 2006 he made nearly $15 million. Recently he reported total income of $12.89 for an entire month.
That’s $12.89 as in 12 dollars and 89 cents. This from someone who, before things went terribly bad, categorized a $1,000 check to his mother as “chump change.”
The numbers are cold, but they have to warm the heart of any animal lover sickened by what once went on at Vick’s Bad Newz Kennels. To many, seeing Vick stripped of the material things he and his fellow millionaire athletes like to enjoy is almost as good as watching him go to prison in the first place
Best of all, the dogs who survived the terror of Vick’s dogfighting ring are having the last laugh.
They’re the stars of a recent National Geographic Channel television special. They live in comfort in a Utah ranch, thanks to $928,000 Vick agreed to contribute to finance their care.
And now they have their own wine.
Yes, there’s Meryl, looking anything but ferocious on a bottle of Syrah. And there’s Lewis, peeking out from the front of another Vicktory Dog bottle.

Nitro the dog
That is terrible-- I hope the public outcry is so huge they give this guy the maximum sentence. We also have one of these idiots down here in FL who is up for sentencing on 12-4. She moved out of her apt and left her German Shepherd in a crate to starve to death. I think the maximum sentence she can get down here is 2 yrs. She was crying in court like the guy who starved Nitro--not for the pets they destroyed but because they got caught.
But then, I don't understand people. There is a stray white cat in my neighborhood and my neighbor made it a point to tell me not to feed it. Yeah, right. Of course I am feeding him, should I watch him starve to death? I know the owner of a no kill shelter here, so we will try to catch him and get him neutered and perhaps he can be adopted out.
Thanks Maria for being such a good friend to the animals.

Not Everyone Is Happy:
I for one believe President elect Obama will be good for america. But it got me upset just how many people voted for him simply because of the color of his skin, and incase you don't know, he's half white but you don't hear too much about that fact. I was brought up to like and respect everyone no matter what the color of a person's skin is, and i thank both my parents for drilling this into me. Maria, i read laura's posting and she does have the right to feel the way she does, you don't have to sleep with her, so don't let it get to you. Besides i bet Laura's a very nice person and she just don't agree with the subject of the president elect. So lets see where he takes us in the next four years. Thankyou.

The puppy that Obama is getting for his kids
I just hope that the Obamas use some good judgement and get the kids a puppy from a shelter. That would really send out a great message to America. So many animals from shelters need good homes and living in the White House seems like a pretty good home to me.
What's up with that previous post from Laura??? Obama and Biden are "a couple of racists" --HUH?? Haven't heard that one before...

Proposition 2 passed in California, what about the rest of the 49 states?
Proposition 2 being passed in California is awesome, and I love that people are waking up to animal cruelty and inhumanity but...
How can we get the rest of the United States to acknowledge that animals everywhere are doing carnivores a BIG ASS favor by giving up their lives for consumption...the least humans can do is let the animals live peacefully and happily until they are slaughtered. Trust me if there were a picture of the animal attached to every pack of meat or fast food hamburger people would have to acknowledge that that animal was unique and alive.
Anyhow if anyone knows how to get us animal lovin' Americans involved in passing legislation all over the USA please count me in...Our slaughterhouses are traumatizing and sooo inhumane...both the majority of workers in them and the horrible conditions.
Maria please keep making people aware that animals are living creatures and deserve respect just as much as humans :')
Peace.

Good news for farm animals in California, Prop 2 was passed! This was sponsored by the Humane Society and deals with humane treatment of farm animals. I was disgusted to see that some pigs and cattle don't even have enough room to stand and stretch their limbs. Thankfully, this bill has passed. To read more, visit www.yesonprop2.com.

Election
Hey Maria, just so you know, not every one of your listeners is celebrating today. So why not just shut up. Not everyone is celebrating the fact that a novice in way over his head is going to undeservedly be placed in the White House. Not everyone is celebrating the fact that a couple of racists who hate America are going to be in charge of it. Many of us are in fact downright nauseated about the whole spectacle.
It's a good thing there is internet radio so I don't have to subject myself to listening to your annoying partisan politics. I know you don't explicitly say so, but I get the distinct impression that you would not have played a Beatle block to celebrate a McCain victory. I will no longer be listening to you or your station.

Hi Maria -
Hello, if any of your baseball fan fans happen to be around the research library on 5th between 41st and 42nd street (the one with the two lions) I highly recommend a trip up to the third floor (only on display until the 26th of Oct.) there is a hallway display of some old Yankee photographs from Babe Ruth to the present players, the photos are really striking. It's worth the free trip!

Your a fool
Yankee fan....Your the biggest fool out here. After all the things that have been said all you can state is that "The Yankees have won 26" How many of those have you been alive for. 6 maybe 8 at best. Most of which were the Roid Days. If you had been around back then you wouldn't keep throwing it out there because you would know humbling it is when a team goes on a skid...Like the Yanks in the 60's most of the 70's the 80's and the early 90's. You try and make it seem that they won 26 in a row. Sorry Yankee fan, but your words mean nothing because all you want to do is hear yourself talk.
Posted By: Real Fan - Thursday, October 2nd 2008 @ 2:20pm
"26"
you know all you met fans,boston fans,and any other fans that keep crying and bashing the yankees---the bottom line is the yanks have won 26 world series and when any of you reach that amount ..then start yapping.....
Posted By: yankee fan - Thursday, October 2nd 2008 @ 10:25am
Mets-Yankees
I am a Phillie fan so I know the misery of loosing seasons...I must comment on a few things...first Girardi can't be judged by this year..He was a manager of the year with Florida(2006)..a bunch of no-named players that play the game..I feel the Yankees have a bunch of players that collect pay checks...Bobby Abreau is one...good offensive stats but not a go to guy...A-Rod the same way...What did he do in Seattle when they were in the playoffs??? Nada...too many big salaries with no return.. As for the Mets...this collapse is actually from game 7 vs the Cardinals in 2006....I feel Omar got too many guys similar to the Yankees....They need to keep Wright and Jose Reyes...but Reyes needs to play baseball and forget about his happy dancing on the sidelines.. a talented ballplayer that needs to play and concentrate on setting the stage for scoring runs...Omar should be under the microscope big time...afterall he was a GM for a team that was owned by major league baseball... Last year Jimmy Rollins said the Phillies were the team to beat...and they won this year if I recall...didn't Carlos Beltran state we got Johan, so Jimmy we are the team to beat???..at least you should have been the wild-card team..The Brewers were falling and replaced their manager with 15 games left..you kidding me...you manage 147 games and get canned....sounds like a page off Lou Lamariello's book on ownership... And in LA...Joe Torre gets his nemesis(Manny) and they make the playoffs... Francona looses Manny and Boston still gets in....go figure..
Posted By: anonymous - Wednesday, October 1st 2008 @ 7:43pm
Dear Maria
You should have your fans play in a baseball game of their own: Met fans vs. Yankee fans (so if they were your fans, it would be a fan of a fan's game) and they could get their frustrations out that way, and all the fancy pants people who think they know so much about baseball - well you could really see (not you, Maria) but one could see who knows how to play - because it's one thing to comment on a game and its another thing to be able to play in a game. But life is a game so we are playing whether we signed up or not. Happy playing.
Posted By: Just a fan - Wednesday, October 1st 2008 @ 5:24pm
Shame on you
Pat if you can't admit that your Owner, and GM Quit half way through the season....Publicly I might add.....Then you are in denial. If you don't think that effects the teams moral and the way they play then maybe you should be posting here because all you seem to want to do is hear yourself speak, and not face the facts. Personally If my GM gave up half way through I would ask for his head, but the Yankees just signed him for 3 more years. Good luck with that. Oh and before you make any comments on Omar. I think he screwed up and wouldn't be sad to see him go. At least he didn't quit on the team. On one last note. I hope you guys have a stadium to play in for opening day...Doesn't look like it will be ready....Oh and that's not my Opinion its ESPN's...How sad is that.

Yankee Curse
Here's my take on the Yankees' problems: The Yankees were going great guns in the late 90s - right up to the bottom of the ninth in the seventh game of the 2001 World Series. Just about that time it was announced that a new Yankee Stadium would be built and the most famous sports venue in the western hemisphere would be demolished. This was called progress - fewer seats, more big ticket luxury boxes, screw the fact that we'd no longer be able to point to where Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Bernie Williams, Thurman Munson, etc., etc., once played. The House that Ruth Built was being torn down so that George Steinbrenner could built the House that George Built - a monument to himself! My theory is that once the destruction of Yankee Stadium was decided the Curse was lifted! By disrespecting the memory of Babe Ruth and all the other wonderful players who made it such a magical place, the ghosts were angered and it opened the portal to allow the Red Sox to win!! (not once, but twice!!) The Yankee powers that be are gonna have to do something spectacular to make up for this major blunder! BTW - I've followed the Yankees since 1961! I cheer for the Mets, too, but not if they're playing the Yankees. Sunday I kept switching between the Mets and Yankees games to watch Mike Mussina (who will be missed!) win # 20 and to see the Mets clinch the Wild Card. I got half my wish!

Big Picture Missed
Pat Pat Pat.......You seem to miss the biggest picture that no Yankee fan will admit. Your Owner and GM gave up in the beginning of AUG. I don't care how bad you are doing to publicly give up mid way through the season is the most ridicules thing I have heard; and being a sports fan in the USA I know I have heard many fooling things said by players, mangers, owners and GM's alike, and I'm sure you have too. We may have choked...but your team quit. You Quit.....LOL That's so sad i would rather miss the playoffs by 1 game then be labled as a quitter.

Hankee Fan
Ah, yankee fan, i see you're back to spread the disease of bitterness and poor grammar. Well, considering you have Tampa's favorite puppet back for three years, I'm sure you'll be comforted by the fact that the Yankees can remain aimless and underachieving for at least a couple more years. Let's consider a few golden Cashman moments, shall we?
The All-Cashman team: SP Kevin Brown, Jaret Wright, Carl Pavano (and conspicuously, no Johan Santana, because Hughes is the obvious new Bob Gibson, right?)
Others to name a few: Richie Sexson, Pudge Rodriguez, etc. etc. etc.
Sure, he made a few good signings along the way, but throwing that kind of money around, you can't help but stumble upon a few decent moves.
The Yankees better re-up their membership at the country club my firend, because i predict a whole hell of a lot of golf in the future...

jee7 Memory Loss
OK I will address some of the points you attempted to make. First of all I never stated the greatness of Piazza...that was you attempting to read into thing to justify Clemens use of Drugs to extend his career. I saw Clemens being brought before Congress, and lie thru his teeth. Never saw them call Piazza...Why not? Maybe because he decided not to fight it and leave the game while he still had a name for himself If you think that it was OK for Clemens to use Roids to continue to play...and then deny that he did...In fact try and blame it on his wife. Then I guess you believe Barry Bonds when he claims never to have used them. Further more I bet you believe that a player near the end of his career can double his home run output in the last years of his career. So be proud of the cheaters the Yankees used to win in the '90s They won't make the Hall without a Huge * next to their names. You know what them means right *=cheater in the Hall ofd Fame. Oh and since I don't want you to think I'm just picking on poor old Roger. What about Pettitte. Rogers buddy and fellow juice head. Yeah sure he used it once. I'll let you figure out the oither 5 on the 90's Yankee team that cheater their way into the World Series. To extend his Career....LMAO What an excuse....Thatnks for that one I needed a good laugh this morning.

The Mets showed no class:
I have been a Mets fan since 1964, But now it's over and they can all kiss my Irish Butt. They showed no class when they fired Willy the way they did, and they showed no class at all on the last day at Shea. One would think that the Met organization would've said thankyou to the fans at the end of the program. Every Met past and present including the top brass should've been on the field waving and saying Thankyou to the fans for all their support over the years. I was very happy to see the old timers out there and i say thankyou to them and may God bless. Today i pulled my Bus over on Queens Blvd. (Queens Center ) and bought myself a Dodger hat. I will follow the one person who has a lot of class and is a true Gentleman, Joe Torre.

True Fan Roid Idiot
Hey roid idiot. Yanks had 7 out of 9 starters on roids? Where did pull that fact out of? your a**? By the way, the Clemens Piazza confrontation was roid on roid in case you didn't realize. Piazza couldn't hit a baseball out of the infield until he discovered roids and the Mets were the other team that had the most roid accusations. Did you forget that little fact? Granted this was because the lead invetigator, A red Sox part owner, only interrogated the Yanks and Mets trainers. If he did the same around the league, the same results would have been found. At least Clemens was a great pitcher before the roids, he just needed alittle help extending his career. Piazza needed roids to have a career. In fact most of baseball was on roids at that time and greenies and whatever else, so your argument is invalid and insignificant as are you because you are a Met fan.

I am a lifelong Yankee and Jets fan!!! So, as you can imagine I understand how the Mets fans feel, Jets haven't won a superbowl since 1969. I stopped watching the Yankees several weeks ago, it was too painful to watch, and I agree with "Yankee Hater" Gerardi does suck, big time. Thank God for football season. I won't even be watching the World Series this year!! Go Jets, Go Brett!!!

Facts You want Facts
The facts are this The Yankees live off of History. The 50's was your time to shine. Now I know all the spankmee fans are going to say well what about the 90's? Well maybe if you didn't have cheaters taking steroids you would have something to talk about. If I look back on the History of the Yankees i would say yes they had a past to be proud of. Since 85% of Yankee fans were not around then; I would say you have no Idea about how it is to chear on a team that doesn't cheat. Excuse you did have 2 years in the 70's that were respectible, but did nothing until the roids took over the team in the 90's. Thats nothing to be proud of...thats just sad. The highest paid players needed to take drugs to help them win. I bet you all believed it Clemens said he thought he was throwing a ball at Piazza instead of a bat. Its called Roid Rage children. Now you have guys that at one time may have been first ballot hall of famers, and now they will be Crying with Barry about how unfair it is to have an * next to their name and things they accomplished. What a way to stand out from the crowd. Not 1 but 7 of 9 starters in 2000 series on roids...Now thats something to be very very proud of...

Closing Ceremony
I think one of the funniest things I've ever seen was the funeral...err I mean closing ceremony for Shea Stadium. Typical Mets. They have a big celebration planned to close Shea (Who cares anyway) and then drop a bomb and the place is like a morgue afterwards, except for the loser fans booing at the ceremony. No class, but what else can be expected. When the Yankees closed the only stadium that matters that is closing in town this year, it was a true celebration befitting a truly great organization.

WRONG: The Mets DID NOT have a better record than the Yankees this year and last year. This year they were tied at 89-73. In 2007 the Yanks were 94-68 while the Mets were 88-74.

SO WHAT!!!...The Mets had a better record than the Yankees, CONGRATULATIONS, YOU STILL DIDN'T MAKE THE PLAYOFFS, SO ALL THE GAMES YOU WON MEAN NOTHING, your still not playing baseball in October. The METS are a joke, have been for years and always will be, you guys are like the middle child of NEW YORK sports teams, no one every pays attention to you and you are always left out...just like the playoffs. You had the greatest collapse in the MLB, not one, but two straight years in a row. Hey for those of you caring about a record, how about most games lost in the month of September, now thats an achievement. Keep swinging METS and MET fans, maybe one day you can live up to your big brother THE YANKEES.

Mets v. Yankees
The Yankees are an overpaid bunch of primadonnas with no heart and soul (especially A-hole). They stunk it up pretty good this year. I am a Mets fan but I have to tell you that I can't defend them either. Their bullpen sucked and to blame a manager (and firing him) for them losing is outright wrong for both teams. They all get paid way too much to place blame on everyone else but themselves. Go out there, play the game with some guts and earn the money you are so overpaid to do.

The Yankees Suck
Yankee fans are all the same. All you have to throw in the Mets face is your 26 world championships. Well, for starters the Yankees have been around and playing in NY since 1903, the Mets, 1962. So you had a 50 year head start....Another thing, Giraridi sucks. He has the highest payroll in baseball and could not get the Yankees to the playoffs.
You should consider yourselves lucky that you are getting a new field, as it seems this one doesn't have that "Yankee Magic" it once had. Oh, and the best thing the Red Sox did was get rid of Johnny Damon. Nice arm. Go Sox!!
none one of the mets could carry any of the yankee jockstraps.....

Karma?
If you are going to blame the Mets fall from grace on Karma...Then I guess Joe's taking the Dogers to the post season in his first year there while the Yankees gave up in August is Karma of your own. Its a shame when a GM, and Owner pack it in only weeks after the All Star Game. I guess if you can't buy the talent half way through you might as well give up. LMAO Did you give up too? Bet you did.
I hope for Yankee fans sake that your new stadium is done by opening day, or you will really see what a B**ch Karma can be.

I had chosen that song as my classic song in the VP of Programming contest, but changed it to Pink Floyd's "One of These Days" because I won $104.00 using that song in the Hampton's House contest.
Now I'm considering changing back to 20th Century Man now that I know it can be played on commerical radio!

Real Tuff Guy:
I've been following this story about this Jerk that killed a Cat. Not just a Cat, but a beautiful animal that top the scale @ 7 LBS. This tuff guy beat and kicked this Cat to death all because the cat received more love from it's owner than he did. I read that this Butt Hole even stated to his Girlfriend, " You love this Cat more than me " and when his Girlfriend left her apartment, He killed it. The sad thing is the Cat didn't die right away, it suffered for awhile and made it's way to another room and died. He can receive up to two years in Jail if convicted, that will never happen. But i pray to God that it does happen and this Jerk gets to share the same cell with the other Jerk Michael Vick. Together they can take turns washing each others backs or back sides and take turns dropping the soap. They can become a$$h#le buddies. I'm sorry, I'm going off again, I just go crazy when it comes to hurting Animals. I ran over a Duck a few years back with my Bus on the FDR Drive and I took a week off because I was so upset with myself. Still till this day I would love to know where this Duck came from.

DOGTOWN
The AMAZING show on National Geographic channel on Friday night is called DOGTOWN. Last year, there were only a few shows and I went into withdrawal.......this year, there are more episodes, starting with the fabulous one last Friday about the rescued Vick Pit Bulls. It was so inspirational and warmed my heart to see those babies rehabbing so well.
Dennis The Bus Driver, I hope you caught that show! I hate MV like you do and it made me so happy to see those poor dogs getting another chance. DTBD, I feel so bad that your job is so stressful- I would like to send you one of my dog prints (complementary) to cheer you up while working.......they are 8 1/2" x 11" and so you could carry it with you while you drive (in a notebook or some other thing you must have on the bus). I don't know if it's permitted to say my website on this message board, but I don't know how else to reach you......you can send me an email through the website, telling me which print you'd like.........maybe a Multidog which has 12 breeds on it...............www.topdogart.com. Hope this gets approved. xoxo
Hey Maria! Hope you're enjoying your vacation. In response to Dennis and Vicki's posts. There's a show on the National Geographic Channel tomorrow night, Friday, at 9:00 pm. It features what happened to that loser's dogs and how they're doing. PS - Got a good laugh at Dennis' comment about Vick dropping the soap...LMAO! Keep on Rockin'!

Michael Vick ( I hate that name)
After a long day Driving a Bus in the city of New York and having just about every truck and car with New Jersey plates cut me off big time along Canal Street, I just about want to hang myself. Now after going on Maria's web-site and after reading Vickie's posting concerning Vicks Dogs, I feel a lot better knowing some of those poor animals are doing well. But i get very upset just hearing that Dirtbags name. I hate that freaking name and i hate him. Sorry but i hope that his butt is so wide from dropping the soap that he has to wear pampers for the rest of his life. I'm truly sorry Maria and Vickie, I have more class than this, but i lose control when i hear his name.

Michael Vick
Did anyone watch Animal Planet on Sunday night? They had a show about the dogs rescued from Michael Vick's property. It was pretty graphic showing video footage of dog fights. It made me cry to see this. It never seems to amaze me at how cruel people can be. On a good note, most of the dogs rescued were spared a death sentence. The ASPCA contracted a group fro California that works with pit bulls to review each dog and decide if they were adoptable. Thankfully the majority were and have been either adopted or sent to sanctuaries to live out the rest of their lives in peace. I just hope dog fighting will eventually become a thing of the past.

Fantasy Football Whiz
Hi Maria,
My name is Jim Day, owner of Fantasy Football Whiz.com. About a month ago you played a work force block for me (again thanks for that), and while saying the name of my company, one of your assistants laughed at the name (lol, I do get that all the time). I posted on your message board that I would love to challenge him to a league.
After thinking about it further, I wanted to see if I could interest you in maybe putting together a league with a combination of my subscribers and your listeners. Most leagues are usually 12 teams, so I would 6 of your listeners versus 5 of my subscribers and myself.
I would love to do it as a cross promotional league. If one of your listeners win I will make a contribution to the animal charity of your choice and a nice toy for CTBR.
Please let me know if this might be something we can put together.
Thanks, Jim

'Q' changes
Maria
I was real bummed to hear that Bob was leaving!! I heard the suits forced in out in a cost cutting move. Whether thats true or not it wouldn't surprise me.
Its been a little strange at the Q beginning last holiday season with the end of the on-air 'Charity begins at home' drive. That really made the holidays special every year and I was sorry to see it go. Now with Bob gone, its not the same old Q, and I'm not real happy about that. I guess that's what 'they' call progress. To me these are ill-advised changes.
On a positive note I'm real happy to hear more 'back wall' stuff with the 3 at 3 and through regular programming. Now thats real positive change.
Great show...take care,Jeff

Man attacks significant other and dog
Quick survey question:
A man in Greece got into an argument with his significant other then decapitated her dog, then proceeded to decapitate her. So the question is which one is more wrong to have done?
Is killing a person more wrong then killing an animal? Or does it just depend on the animal, if it was a cow would anyone care?

You are the greatest
It is so refreshing how you talk about your dog and how you encourgage people to go go the pound, or sheltters for a dog, or cat. My mother has rescued many dogs and will contiunue to do so. Even my 21 year old daughter yelled at a friend because she was going to buy a dog. She told her to go to the North Shore Animal League or Bid a wee to adopt a dog. It is not expensive and these are the animails who need the love the most. We have had dogs that were abused and with our love and understanding they had a great life.

Humane Reading
"Thanking The Monkey", by Karen Dawn is the best thing I've read in years. If you care about animals it WILL open your eyes to many things. Also check out DawnWatch.com---a VERY informative site.

Thanks for caring enough:
Dear dogwoman Evelyn: Thanks so much for caring enough to tell me to calm down. The truth is I don't hate anyone, But I get so upset when it comes down to someone hurting animals. " I LOVE DOGS" When I find myself getting upset I truly do meditate, but right after that I head right to Mickey D'S where I eat like a pig and get upset again because I ate so darn much. I can't win Evelyn. But anyway, take good care and thank the Lord for someone as Beautiful as Maria. Life is worth eveything just to hear her voice.

So so true Evelyn
Thank you Evelyn for saying that so well. All things in the universe, animate and inanimate are truly connected. As a global community we can make a difference by consciously trying to exude good, positive thoughts and feelings and by sharing of ourselves in any way we can. Dogs and other pet are a gift to us. We need to appreciate them and all else that's good in our lives. This world can and will be a better place if we do this.
Thank you Maria for providing this place for us to share our thoughts and dreams.
On another note: CBTR, poor thing, looks so forlorn in the last pic you posted. He'll be back to his old self in no time. It's the best thing for him. Dog rescuers often get dogs with tumors because they hadn't been spayed/neutered. Kudos for showing a great example not just with this but all you do here.
Thank you!

KARMA
My heart is kvelling at reading all the stories of good samaritans re the animals (despite the horrific story of the dog thieves).
Dennis The Bus Driver (my hero), please try not to get too caught up in being angry at the dirtbags like Vick.............we are entering a time of Universal energy change when karma really will happen at a faster rate. This is confirmed by the Hopi Indian predictions, and American Indians truly did live in harmony with nature until their civilizations were disrupted.
If we focus on seeing/visualizing/creating the positive (this does not mean we ignore the scumbag animal abusers), we can truly have an effect on this chaotic sad world. Deep breathe, meditate, do whatever gets you to that place of connectedness. We are all one. The power of the pack (as Cesar Millan would say).
Glad to hear everything went well. He should be up and about in no time. I remember when I had my two kitties spayed they had to wear the collar too, for 10 days! What a pain. Whenever they ate I had to make sure the collar was turned the right way and I had to keep it clean. But, you do what you have to do for their own well being. Take care of that little guy and stay well.
P.S. Rev Jesse Jackson didn't have anything to do with this did he?.......just asking.

CTBR
My dog, Bandit, also had to wear the lampshade after his surgery. What a uncomfortable thing, for all of us! I found a great thing in the pet store, it looks like a tire tube and is much more comfortable for both dog and human. I'm glad he is doing well, he is such a cutie! Word of caution, my grandpup, Rex, had surgery yesterday for a bone lodged in his intestine. That will be the last time either one of them gets beef bones.

Animals
Good luck today with CTBR. He looks thrilled in his post-op picture! On a side note, I was at the vet last night with my dog getting her yearly shots. I met a woman in the wating area who told me she had 14 pets! I thought wow this lady is crazy, but after talking to her and later the vet about it, she is really a nice woman who just has a great big heart and a soft spot for strays. She was at the vet with one of her cats that someone had shot with a pellet gun. I asked the vet about her because I was kind of concerned she may be a "hoarder". He assured me that she was just a genuinely nice person and in his words "even with all those pets she keeps her house so clean you can eat off the floors". Anyway God Bless her and everyone who cares enough to help an animal.

Lampshade
How about calling the lampshade a helmet? That's what I did for the rescue I fostered who was apparently hit by a car and burned by the cadalidic converter. We went to the vet everyday for a week and then every 3 to 4 days for a month to change his bandages and re-adjust his manly helmet!
Since I have (had -one has since passed) three of my own, I found a permanent home for Max who is now fully recovered and happy. He will be visiting for a week so his new Mom and Dad can enjoy their vacation and he can see his cousins, Suzie, Ezmeralda and Benjamin!
Good luck with the helmet - you may want to take it off while you watch him eat or when you sit with him. As long as you're watching him...

Michael Vick A.K.A. The Dirtbag.
Maria, after Driving a 45 Foot long Bus all day in the City and having a record breaking 14 people give me their middle finger, I was glad to read about The Dirtbag going broke. I forgot all about my stressful day and any other problems I might have in my boring life at this time. I'm so happy I visited your web-site. The sad thing is once Vick gets out of the big house he will start making lots of money again. Some football team will give him a chance and before you know it, He's back making millions again. Everyone deserves a second chance, BUT NOT THIS ASSH$#E!!!! Anyone who hurts an animal, any kind of animal should be sent right to jail. God bless the good people of this sick world.

I wish I was a dog
I like to compare dogs behavior to people's behavior. And, say two dogs fall in love and get married, have babies, buy a car, some books and a boat (perhaps a kite and a pair of skiis). They live a good dog's life. The little puppies are happy, especially at the start of this summer vacation. And the mama dog works hard to provide the pup pups a good life, and the papa pup, too, but then things start to get a little windy, so the little pups (being the smart animals they are) say hey, it's windy, so let's make good use of the wind and fly the kite. Let's be like Ben Franklin and learn from the wind!
Of course all the other pups of the neighborhood come over to hang out and what a scene! What a beautiful site, there are bunches of little puppies flying the kites on this windy day, of course the pups know what to do if it gets windy, you make use of the wind. One pup even suggests to put a sail on their skateboard and with the wind and the sail, the pups have the time of their lives, with the wind, the boards, the kites. Never has this American town seen so much puppy excitement, for it was a great town of dogs, all types of breeds from pugs, to pups to poodles. But I think this particular pup family was like the benji kind of mut dog from the movie Annie.
Oh, so what do you know the father dog (no relation to Daddie Warbucks but as I write I wonder) the father dog changes his mind and sees the wind as a detriment to "HIS" well being and decides to bring in the kites, the boards all the toys and calls it quits, decides that he wants a divorce from the family. So, he calls his lawyer and the divorce papers come flying down and the mama pup is shocked with fragments of tears. And, now everyone gets so sad, but thanks to the gods of metaphorical writing, we think how this would never happen because dogs would never call lawyers, only people need lawyers. God, I wish I was a dog.

ON MY SOAPBOX TO HELP THE ANIMALS
One or two last suggestions to help the animals if you can't rescue one or volunteer with a group:
Do you have a service or product that you can donate to an animal welfare fundraiser? Even if items like jewelry are gently used, they can raise $$$ for the cause. Look around your house for things you really don't need anymore but could do such good.
Call your local shelter, google various phrases related to rescue (i.e. no kill shelter + your area.......or.... animal rescue fundraiser + your area). There are tons of wonderful volunteers organizing these events- it just takes a bit of intelligent research. Even if you can't volunteer on a regular basis, maybe a onetime event is possible.
And if you've got the time or can't find the right event in your area, why not organize one? I guarantee it will be a most soul-satisfying experience. And........it's a great way to meet other like-minded people if you're single!
Animal people are GOOD people................for all you Maria fans and listeners- why not follow her good example and give of yourselves for those that cannot speak? They give so much back in return.
As a dog artist with a highly-ranked website dedicated to animal welfare and rescue, I am constantly being contacted by many types of rescue groups for donations (I think I donate more than I sell :>)
In any case, here is what I can share re the sad surrender of animals due to foreclosure or natural disasters (today's NY Times told of the poor people with multiple dogs living in cars after the Iowa floods).........many of these people have brought their animals to regular shelters as a last resort- regular animal shelters must euthanize the animals that are not rescued after weeks, typically.
One alternative would be to google specific breed rescue groups in your area (i.e. Boxer dog rescue Western Long Island). Specific breed rescue groups usually are volunteer staffed, and have a network of foster homes for dogs until they are placed in new homes. You can also find specific breed rescue groups in your area by going through Petfinder.com. And some of these purebred rescue groups accept mixed breeds as well.
More and more, I am being contacted by no-kill shelters and organizations..............sometimes these groups work with the regular animal shelters to take the animals who are on death row. Call the regular shelters in your area and ask if they work with any no-kill rescue groups. This is where the mixed-breed dogs can be found. Mixed-breed dogs are typically genetically prone to fewer health problems than purebreds.
Lastly, if you do rescue an animal who has not been spayed/neutered, PLEASE DO SO ASAP!!! Your animal will be healthier and have a better temperament as well. And if you can't have an animal, consider volunteering for a rescue group other than the local shelter.
Before you decide to stick your pet in a shelter, may I suggest you go and visit one! Cages are HELL! Why not try to find a loving home instead? You owe them AT LEAST that much.

Animals from Foreclosures
If you can't take your animal why don't you look into rehabilitation hospitals? Animals can give so much love to people who are there, especially if they have to be there for a considerable amount of time. Also, animals are such good company, especially for the elderly. Just consider this before sending to a shelter. You might be doing alot of good for someone who needs the love.

Maria,
Thank you and Q104.3 for picking my Kink's song this morning. It pays to be a Workforce member.
Also, a quick comment of the Tom Petty and Steve Winwood concert last night at the Prudential Center. This was my first time at the Pru. The sound was awesome in the arena. Great place to see a show. Tom Petty and Heartbreakers were better than ever and looking just fine. Steve Winwood was fabulous. A great show and Tom always keeps his ticket prices affordable for all his fans.
Thanks again, Laura

Dear Maria -
seriously Maria, your gas story like freaks me out! really, do you have any idea how much we love you and if anything ever happened to you, my god, that love would cry like an unstoppable rain! Check your gas, and stop with the candles they're so 19th century, although they have a great spiritual energy, but so does meditating on soft pillows with a lightly dripping faucet (for the sound effect that can help maintain good meditative breathing - well not like I do that but I just thought of it as I am writing, but I'll try it when I get home). But, good gods! how can you tell us your gas story, seriously Maria, that really put gigantic shivers up my spine, seriously you....wait, oh my god,,how come your gas beeper thing didn't go off? Oh, don't tell me you don't have a gas beeper thing-a-magig. It's mandatory for NY buildings, I think? If you don't have one, I'm going to tell someone to sue your landlord (not me, I'm not the sueing kind), but really Maria, I hope you know we love you and my goodness.. I can't go there, but really, like, make it a habit, check the stove, I do the stove check all of the time...Oh, and also do it in your head on a 110% scale (say, yes, I'm 110% sure it's off, everytime you leave or go to sleep). We've cried enough New York tears, without you we would have to join you, as loyal fans, so it's either be careful or we're coming with you!

Carmine- did you know that most really big movie stars historically have had large heads in proportion to their bodies (unlike fashion models who oftentimes have pin heads)??? Maybe Maria wants to be a part-time stage Mommy for you? :>)))

Just incase the person who i caught kicking his Dog yesterday views this web-site, If i ever see you again walking along Astoria Blvd. and observe you kicking your Dog again, I will again get out of my car and kick your sorry ass up and down the Blvd. I will even go so far as to have your sorry ass locked up. To all of Maria's loyal fans, I was driving home after driving my Bus all day when i came across this dirtbag kicking his Dog for whatever reason yesterday on 104 street and Astoria blvd. over in Jackson Heights Queens. I pulled over and said to this guy stop kicking the Dog. He replied by saying Fu-k you mind your own Business. He also stated that he would kick my ass if i didn't get lost. So after taking all sorts of crap from people all day and dealing with traffic and the rain, I said here is where i get to release the stress of the day, It was short and sweet and i was proud of what i did. I only wished the Dog knew that i was trying to help and not trying to become it's Dinner. The Dog kept trying to get at me but the guy tied the Dog to a tree before he and i went at it. Just wanted to share this story with all of you out there. Bye.

Idol bores me
Cute pic of the puppy...
I gave up on Idol after Bo Bice got hosed in that vote to the pretty girl...nothing against Carrie Underwood, but she didn't need the contract, some country producer would have signed her anyway. Simon was right a few weeks ago, fans vote on who's the hottest, not necessarily who's the best.
I watched a few clips on You Tube, and its clear that David Cook is the best, period. Archuleta is too young, and he has no stage presence.

What more can be done to expose and express outrage at the depraved creulty exhibited by the Honduran claiming to be an artist? How can we, in the animal welfare world, send a message to the government of Honduras? Will the peition do that? Will it fall on deaf ears? I will forward this information onto the Humane Society. Perhaps if we all join forces our voice will be heard on behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves. What is the overriding sentiment in the islands that allows for the utmost violent attacks aganist animals? ( Let's recall the attack on pets by Animal control officers in Puerto Rico.)
Am willing to do what it takes to bring this individual to justice if such a thing exists.

My wife was out on the deck enjoying the nice weather, but the bees were all over the place. I gave her the ORTHO Hornet andWasp spray and went upstairs. She closed the dogs in the sun room and took a shot at one of the bees, Roscoe the pug got out and ran out of the house and under the spray. just a few drops got on him. My wife immediately hosed him off and washed his face, but 24 hours later he could not walk and got very sick. We rushed him to the Vet and found that his blood cells were attacking each other and trying to kill him. He has been there four days on intervenous therapy and all kinds of meds, and it is very scary for us. His brother paces back and forth looking for him and we are all sick with worry. Who Knew this stuff was so dangerous to pets. I feel guilty for not reading it and my wife feels worse. I hope all pet owners take heed and do not use this stuff, don't even bring it near your pets.

Untangled Dog Leashes
Just a quick tip....when your dog is playing with another dog keep one of the leashes on the ground and they won't get tangled. That's unless they start rolling on the ground together.
Also if your dog is bitten there may be a puncture wound that you don't see. There may be little or no blood (it happened to one of mine years ago). So make sure you check very closely. If there is one and it's not taken care of it could become infected.
Have fun at the dog parks!

Dear Maria
I just saw the most perfect birthday card for you and I don't have an address to send it to you so I'll tell you about it. There are four drawings of Snoopy and Charlie Brown on the front of the card. Each drawing Snoopy is following Charlie Brown and beneath each drawing it says something like happiness follows you around. (I think something like that I didn't buy the card; which I obviously should have because I'm forgetting the main words, but then I would have to quote Schultz and I don't know the appropriate footnotes to quote a card), but happiness follows Charlie Brown - Snoopy is happiness and then inside of the card there is a picture of Snoopy licking Charlie Brown's face saying that happiness is worth the lick! (Oh, sorry I screwed up the delivery, I should have bought the card; I'm such the Pig Pen chararacter when it comes to writing!)

HAHAHAHAHAHA
Guardian Mary- sounds like you misinterpreted my poem. Yeah, Maria's great but it's Carmine I crave..........how 'bout I babysit the Big Ragu while either the guys from Israel or U take Maria on a date??? And you posted your phone # why????? :>)))))
Hey, Maria, I would watch out for that guy Stephen. Anyone who gives out their cell phone number on a public message board may not be a safe bet. Stick with the guys from Israel or dogwoman.....sounds like she really likes you.....
Just my two cents. For more unsolicited advice, call me at: 648-552-5555

carmine's progress
hey maria,love the pic of carmine the pup with his toy!!see,you were a worried mom,and all he wanted to do was hang out all day and check his new surrondings out!!he's the best!!he's a genuine sweetheart for sure..loved the story of him socializing with the doberman in the park!!still laughing over it!!it's the way you told the story that made it 'special'...you're enjoying him for sure..and so are we!!hugs and licks !!!clem and kathy skarzynski,parlin,n.j.
Well, it really does make a difference re in which year you were born - my mother-in-law is also April 26 and I call her "Mommy Dearest". What a difference the year makes.........
So, here is another Scumbag that loves to hurt animals. This crap makes me go crazy. He calls this art work and i call this heartless. Here i go again!!! Put this low life in the same jail cell as that other Scumbag Michael Vick. If i had the power i would put these two Bastards in a room with every starving animal on the planet. I would stand there and watch as the animals feast. And as a favor to Laura, i would throw Keith Oberman in there for desert. xoxoxo. God please help me deal with all this crap.

another animal-abusing scumbag
Thanks so much for posting this petition re the "artist" who killed the dog and called it "art". I signed the petition a month ago and wrote back to my friend that as an artist (I'm a dog artist), I'd love nothing better than to tie the scumbag to a wall and do the same thing he did to the poor defenseless dog...........except that I'd add a few more pain-inducing elements to my "artpiece".
In the 2007, the 'artist' Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, took a dog from the street, he tied him to a rope in an art gallery, starving him to death. For several days, the 'artist' and the visitors of the exhibition have watched emotionless the shameful 'masterpiece' based on the dog's agony, until eventually he died.
He's been invited back to the Bienal Centroamericana Honduras 2008 (a huge art event in South America) to recreate this 'exhibit' this year. You can google his name for confirmation of story, it's not for the faint of heart and truly despicable.
Please sign the petition to boycott the presence of Guillermo Vargas Habacuc at this year's event. You don't need to register, just sign and send.

Am I the only one?
If you watched Idol Gives Back...and I can't claim to have watched the whole thing...did you happen to catch Heart performing Barracuda? Am I the only one who felt badly for Ann Wilson? She started off singing and it was pretty good, but then she was sort of upstaged by Fergie blasting onto stage and singing her part and she was left just kind of watching and almost singing back up on her own song. That was awkward, I think.

Michael Vick, Remember him:
As a former New York City Correction Officer, I still keep intouch with many of the people that i had the pleasure of working with. Word has it that the biggest Scumbag on the face of the earth is playing football in prison. I hope he breaks both his legs, I hope the K-9 unit is very close by and the Dog gets a chance to take a bite out of Vick's ass. I hope by now he's somebody's Bitch and everytime he bends over to do some receiving he feels the same pain that all those animals felt at the hands of this creep. Ok, let me calm down now, this guy get's me so freak'en crazy. Hey Maria!!! As i drive my Bus down on Water and Broad Streets i see the big rat, I don't know why it's at that location but it's there.

where are their tastebuds (the teens/tweens)?
I also was astounded at the elimination of Michael Johns over so many lesser talents..............I just finally realized that the perception of youth in this contest was a determining factor......talent is secondary. Our favorite Aussie was just too much of a MAN instead of a boy. Sad, but I have no doubt that he'll make his mark.
Carmine looks more and more like a Boxer. He is so cute. Wish him good luck with doggie training.

Just a little comment on how you are one of the most personable DJs I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. I have been around since the Woodstock Era. I may be a dinosaur but we at the Plumbers Local Union # 1 think you know our classic rock. You seem to be right there in the trenchs with us.

AAAWWWWWWWWWWWW........
Just what I needed today- a sweet pic of a Devil Dog (just kidding CTBR!).....thanks so much! Is it my imagination or are his legs and floppy ears longer? Carmine's face is looking less smooshed like a Boxer's than before- so unique.
Maria, I'm jealous of all the peops that can listen to your show........wish I still lived in NY instead of NC (except in frigid weather :>).
I'm sorry that I'm late on this, but the teacher discipling drama for which you created a vote is summed up this way: The reason why kids are so out of control today, and teachers are unable to discipline them (some kids are little brats who get to fatten up their spoiled nature by reversing the roles and blaming teachers for simply doing their jobs) is that kids don't listen to enough classic music - classic rock, classic jazz, classic stuff.

Oprah's show on Puppy Mills
I honestly expected Oprah's show on Puppy Mills to be a lot rougher to watch. I guess I already know too much about what really goes on there and in other animal abuse situations. It was too mild in my humble opinion, but it's good to do whatever to raise awareness re this sad topic.
YES on CTBR making progress!!! I do believe that Pug that bullied your sweet boy was a recipient and communicator of a divine message sent from Clarice- she was telling CTBR to respect, submit and to LISTEN to you, Maria!
LOVED the Cesar interview- he's another of my heroes.
Dennis The Bus Driver- you got me crying again with talking about hugging your dogs when you got home.............you're the kind of guy that should be in politics (no insult intended)..........you've got your priorities straight and this world needs more leaders like that!!!

Correction of an earlier post
Just a correction to a earlier post about Maria's certificate of appreciation. That award came from the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruely to Animals (NJSPCA), not from a local animal shelter. You certainly do deserve this accolade, Maria, for everything you do for animals.

CAPTURED LOST DOG:
Dear Maria: I just want you and every other animal lover to know, that while i was driving my Bus along the BQE eastbound, i noticed a lost and very Dazed and confused Dog in the right lane of traffic. I stayed right behined it blocking off two lanes of traffic with the hope that the animal would not get hit by a car. The northern Blvd. exit was coming up and i was praying the Dog would make it's way up the ramp, it did and i jumped out of the Bus as i motioned to some guy to grab the Dog and he did. I said thanks to the man and i held on to the Dog for dear life. I carried her onto the bus and proceeded off the ramp before somebody killed me for having traffic blocked up for miles. I pulled over by a Wendy's and the Dog and i shared a couple of Cheeseburgers and fries, she drank water and i had a diet coke. Now this was like hitting Lotto, after sitting by Wendy's for almost an half hour and thinking about what to do next, ( I couldn't take her home because i have two Dogs of my own) I noticed 4 young ladies walking up towards Wendy's and one of them was holding what appeared to be a Dog chain. As they got closer to the Bus i got out and asked them if they were looking for a lost Dog, they were all upset and the very young one started crying. Well anyway, they all said yes, I went and got the animal off the Bus, the Dog knew right away who they were, and everybody was happy. I felt Damn good and proud of myself ( for a change) I thanked God everything worked out well and my Bosses didn't have to know a thing about bringing a Dog on the Bus and using their Bus to block off traffic to save a Beautiful animal.

It's great that Carmine is doing so well, his pictures are adorable. What a lucky pooch! And speaking of lucky pooches, what a heart warming story about Valentine. She certainly looks like she's on the road to recovery, what a sweetheart!
I also hope that Lloyd from Long Island finds his dog Bailey. Keep the faith and don't give up. Best wishes and prayers to you Lloyd and your family.

Still missing. Still heartbroken.
Thanks for posting up my message about my lost Bearded Collie named Bailey. Still no word about him after nearly 6 weeks gone. Like he disappeared into thin air. Not one call after spending so much time and expense trying to find him. He must have been stolen. Of course the new "owners" got a little less than they bargained for, since Bailey suffers from Addison's Disease and won't last much longer without his shots.
So right now, if those filthy swine don't walk him or take him to the vet, he's peeing and crapping all over their house and just lying around not being able to do much without those Cortisone shots.
But the real sadness is that his family deeply misses him and I'm sure he misses them.
He disappeared from his fenced in yard in North Massapequa and has to be around somewhere on the Island. I hope Maria can make an announcement on the air or just post my messages around the Q104 Web pages.
Thanksagain. Lloyd

hey maria,thanks for the pics of carmine..19lbs.,and no more meds!!!yeaaaaa!!i heard your comment friday that carmine's approaching 'the size of a small pony'..hey thats great,its that time of year for local carnivals,etc.,so get a small saddle and rent him out for pony rides for the kiddies!lol...he looks great lotsa little devil in those eyes for sure.so glad he's back to 100%..a wonderful easter to you carmine and the entire milito and q-104.3 family..keep those pics coming..all our love kathy & clem skarzynski...
Maria-- Think of my darling Shandi when Carmine is being a puppy.... My little darling just learned how to shake a paw.....after almost a year!!! She is outside potty challanged too....... And big sis Cookie just laughs her tail off!!!!
Last month my 9 year old Bearded Collie "escaped" from my fenced in yard. After placing numerous newspaper ads, calling the local police precincts, putting signs up all over the neighborhood, and visiting every animal shelter and veterinarian on the Island, I am totally convinced he was STOLEN. Nobody in the neighborhood saw him and nobody called, He just disappeared. His name is Bailey. He's very very loveable and goofy. He had ID tags on his collar and he even has an imbedded ID chip inside him. Bailey is about 60 lbs, but looks larger with all his black/gray and white hair. He aslo suffers from a disease which needs monthly medication or he will soon die.
Please, please! Post up this notice and say a few words on the air if possible. I know everyone says this..but I'm a "since day one" loyal Q104 fan and particularly a fan of yours since I went on a boat ride around Manhattan with you years ago and went to the park for a Dogs Walk a few years back where I met you and Clarice. Thanks for any help you can give.

Pet spayed or neutured
I was surprised to see 80% say no. All of you should go to petfinder.com and see the thousands of dogs up for adoption! It is so sad to see so many unwanted dogs. Many of them are put down. I say all dogs should be spayed or neutured! All of you who say no should go adopt one!

Hey Maria,
The puppy stage is not forever and he is probably just needs to get use to his surroundings. He had a rough start to life and he just needs time to adjust.

Rescue Dogs
I'm glad to read that Carmine's doing well. He really IS adorable. That's so cool that you rescued him from a shelter. There are WAY too many abandoned dogs that need good homes. I'm involved in a Siberian Husky rescue group (http://www.siberescue.com/) that places abandoned Huskies with owners that will give them a good "forever home." If you, or any other dog owners are interested, we're holding our sixth annual "Tails of the Trails" hike on September 20th (details are on the website). It's a free event and all are welcome. In addition to the hike, there are games and events for the dogs and owners. For example, Coldstone Creamery sponsors an ice cream eating contest for the dogs. There's also a fun variation of musical chairs where the dogs have to sit when the music stops. Last dog to sit has to exit the game. If you don't have a dog, come anyway and we'll let you borrow one of ours. Hope to see ya there. :-)

Thanks for the update & new photo of Carmine. Glad he is feeling better, looking at his picture he is way too cute. He does look like a little devil but that is so much fun with a puppy.
By the looks of his paws, you may have to send him to puppy school so he won't be walking you down the street when he gets older!!!!! LOL
Have a great time with your puppy, take care.

hassled in carl schurz park nyc
Hi- i listen to your show and jim Kerrs and I know you are both dog owners.I live on 86 st and York and I walk my two dogs in carl schurz park. I have a spaniel and a dachshund both ten year old. Last friday I went into the park and it was deserted. I noticed a parks officer watching me as soon as I entered the park and i found it weird he looked for want of a better word "creepy". I went down to where the peter pan statue is a confined recessed area .The dog always had the leash on and being old he is limited but I bounced a ball for him which resulted in hopping up and down in a small area because it is not a big place i did this for sbout two minutes. As i was ready to leave leash in hand this same officer pounced on me and began to write summonses. He was menacing and nasty and since it was deserted I did not feel safe giving him my info. I yelled for a policeman and the officer pushed me luckily a group of dog walkers alerted by my cries witnessed this. He claimed I was running away but all i was doing was yelling HELP which luckily brought the dog walkers We went over to the real police who werent much help . They didnt even take down the witnesses account of the incident when he saw the parkofficer push me. The park officer called for another park officer and she threatened to send my dogs to animal control because she was going to take me to the precinct. Suffice to say i was put in handcuffs and taken to the precinct. i pleaded with her to take the dogs to my apt a block away and she finally agreed probably because it was easier. I was subjected to an afternoon of threats and intimidation while handcuffed. She also went through my handbag in my apt to get my drivers license - I was handcuffed in the car- she was supposed to bring the bag down not go through it. after two hours of being in the precinct she released me but not before calling another park officer. So we had three park officers guarding a 120lb woman who had bounced a ball.She made it clear she wanted to teach me how powerful the parks dept is and retaliate against me because i said the officer had pushed me.Meanwhile another dog owner in the neighborhood told me on saturday that he had tried all day too get the park police to deal with a homeless man who had two dogs chained to a fence on 91 st they never responded they were too busy intimidating me.My landlord who owns a diner on 86 and york and knows everyone told me there have many complaints about a "creepy"( landlords word) park officer who has been hassling dog walkers.I am glad my instincts were right but I am sorry that my dogs can no longer enjoy the park. I have contacted the parks commission hopefully they will discipline these power hungry out of control park officers. Meanwhileii am embarrassed and I have a court date and three trumped up summonses.Perhaps the final insult was when I left the 19th precinct and because i had no money, no bag no metrocard iasked how i could get back to 86 and york. The police officer said we are not a taxi service so cold, hungry, thirsty and scared I walked.I have lived in NYC all my life the park was always a refuge now it is a house of horrors for me . a group called NYCdog( Bob Marino) has been very helpful and ihope toget some justice - thanks again Linda

Yellow targets
Hey Maria - I'm sorry that some ignorant cabbies pass you by - perhaps you should train Carmine to um, well, you know....well, bark (with great-showing-teeth) and pee at the same time on yellow targets, perhaps.

Love Janis
Hi Maria,
I went to see Love Janis at the Count Basie in Red Bank last night and was blown away.
If anyone has the chance to see this show, do not hesitate, Go.
The musical Performace was fantastic, for a couple of hours it was like having Janis back with us.
The performance was peppered with 2 performers as Janis talking about her life. The entire content was taken from her letters home and various interviews. It give you a very private look at her life which was both sad and tragic.
Still can't believe what I experienced.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Dear Carmine - I am happy to hear that you are back home, but I think what happened was that when you realized you were in the warm heart and arms of your new best friend/mom/care taker - Maria Milito that you may have been shocked with so much love and cool beauty, that you were blown away by her cool and beautiful nature that it may have taken your breath away! She has that affect on her listeners via the radio; I can only imagine its magnification when in her presence.
YES,CARMINE THE PUP IS COMING HOME!!SEE,AS SOON AS HE SAW YOU HE KNEW!!NOW ITS BITING AT YOUR JEANS AND BEING A PUPPY...THE BEST!!ALL THE POSITIVE THOUGHTS ,COMMENTS AND WORDS OF FRIENDS ALWAYS COMES THRU!!GREAT,GREAT NEWS...HEY,PUT A C.D. OF THE STONES ON BY HIS BED,REMEMBER,WHEN I HAD PNEUMONIA,YOU PLAYED THE STONES FOR ME AND,LO AND BEHOLD,I WAS ON MY FEET DRIVING KATHY CRAZY AGAIN IN NO TIME!!!HUGS,LICKS AND KISSES...KATHY AND CLEM SKARKYNSKI..PARLIN N.J.
Glad to hear Carmine is coming home! I am sure he will be 110% with Mom's TLC. Tracy

Carmine's coming home....YAH!!
Dear Maria,
What great news! I am so glad he recovered and is going home. An empty house is no fun. Give him lots of hugs and smooches and good stuff to eat. I hope he stays strong, healthy and grows up to be a big ox! (only kidding!) - xoxoxox

Carmine
Just read the news. Great!!!! I agree with dogwoman. The connection happens quickly, the bond builds over the years. The two of you will be very happy I can just tell. With a name like Carmine the Big Ragu a nice Italian boy how can you go wrong. Hugs and kisses for both of you

So glad Carmine will be coming home - everyone knows you will give him the best TLC he can get! I know everyone was praying for the best for him.

Good news!
Good to hear Carmine is almost home! When I adopted my dog, she had three bladder infections in a row, so I know how hard it is to have a sick "baby". Keep the faith, everything will be fine with the Big Ragu!
Posted By: Vicki - Tuesday, March 4th 2008 @ 9:54am
Almost home
A face lick and nibblies of the ears........excellent! Not too much longer now til he's home again. It's so obvious........the two of you have much karma to work out :>)))) I agree with Gil F. who said that this is meant to strengthen the bond between you and Big Ragu. There are no accidents.

Prayers for Carmine
Maria,
There are no words that can be said, only good thoughts to be sent and prayers to be offered for Carmine's recovery. I can only hope this is something meant to strengthen the bond between you and Carmine, making your future years with him more cherished. But I can already see, Carmine is a lucky and loved dog with you by his side.
Love, Gil F.

hard rock park
hey maria, heard your announcement of the eagles and moody blues playing at the park in myrtle beach. think you should come down here and check out the park in person. myrtle beach area is a great place to live, moved here 2 years ago from long island and miss hearing q104--listening on the internet last few days.
the "beach" is a great family destination and pretty inexpensive compared to new york.
should check out the parks website at hardrockpark.com to get an idea of some of the attractions. the led zeppelin coaster looks like it is going to be awesom especially with "whole lotta love" playing while you are on the ride

Dear Maria - Congratulations on your new unconditional love. Carmine is like a beautiful leaf from the perfect puppy tree. I've been wanting to take a photo of Carmine Street, off Bleecker for you but it's probably too corny. But I'm corny in love with your voice so, whatever!

Carmine-best in show adorable pup!
Maria,
I saw Carmine's latest pic on your blog. He is sooo adorable. He, I would bet has Boxer in him. He has the coloring, the square face, the floppy ears, he is just too cute. Boxers have always been one of my favorite breeds. I love all breed dogs for that matter, mutts, boxers, pugs, french bulldogs, boston terriers, chocalate,yellow,black labradors, etc. You know, how I also love my pugs Maria-(Mocha & Spressie,) they are the best.
He even has the short hair of a Boxer/Bulldog/Beagle? Clarice, I'm sure right now in doggie heaven is very happy for you Maria. You will definately see some of Clarice's personality in Carmine.
Michael

Definitely mostly Boxer!
Oh, Carmine the big Ragu is growing so fast...........that face.those paws...........I am seeing even more Boxer now (since I'm a dog artist, I study faces and don't see much Beagle at all). Please SMOOCH THE POOCH for me!
Thank you for being on the best station around playing the best music, will all the other great DJ's. And your puppy is a beautiful one!
Posted By: Frank Damiani - Tuesday, February 26th 2008 @ 1:37pm
Boxer or Beagle - who knows
Maria, he is so adorable, so whatever he is, it doesn't matter, he is just too cute!!!!! My little Sam is going on 10 weeks old and I know what you mean about the razor sharp puppy teeth! He does sleep for about 6 hours through the night so we are happy with that. I will send more pictures as I take them so you can see him grow up. And you are right, having a puppy again reminds us of how hard it is, especially training them but in the long run it is so worth it. Have fun with him Maria.
Posted By: Darlene - Tuesday, February 26th 2008 @ 8:11am
Those Paws Look Yummy
Love the latest pics! I see even more Boxer in your baby now.........he's like a big floppy doll and those paws are begging to be sniffed (I used to love the musky smell of my late Ollie's delicious paws)! But I think Carmine has Clarice's eyes. xoxoxo
This is a cute screen cleaner! Click on the link below! A cute puppy! Awe! Thought of you - don't have to clean up after it and it will always be there kissing your screen! lol! Enjoy! Please play some Def Leppard! You Rock!

That piece of human excrement who brutally murdered that beautiful therapist on the upper east side, should be euthanized. He is not a human being. I don't understand, society will euthanize poor cats and dogs, because they can't find homes, and yet society will keep this disgusting looking, vile creature alive. He is a scumbag, and he deserves to be put to sleep. How could he, hack and stab that poor woman.
I'll tell you folks, the more people I meet, the more I love and enjoy my doggies. May the victim rest in peace, and God speed to her family during this horrible time.
May that murderer rot in hell, that piece of s%$t he is.

Carmine- "Your new wonder dog"
Maria,
What an adorable pooch. Puppy-hood, will pass, so will the WEE-WEE pads. LOLaughs. He hit the jackpot by you adopting him, and I know he will give you the same love in return. I wish you many happy, and healthy years with him. Remember, you might be saying to Carmine right now, "No potty on the floor". Until he gets the message.

Just wanted to say "thanks" for getting me through some tough days. I'm a single mom, and no matter what is going on in my life I have to get up every day and do what I have to do to keep our heads above the constantly rising water. I try to listen as much as possible when work allows. So thanks for making my days a bit brighter, making me laugh, making me think, for touching so many lives in a positive way, and playing some great music. You are one of the truly beautiful people in this world. Many thanks.....................

Culture
Paul and Dennis call animal abuse 'culture' ? Cruelty is cruelty, in the Dominican Republic or Oshkosh. If Juan and Pedro's 'culture' is so important, let them stay there and pitch for Pesos rather than Dollars.
Posted By: John P.O. - Monday, February 11th 2008 @ 12:46pm
I MUST SAY I AGREE WITH PAUL.
I have to agree with Paul on this Pedro thing, as much as i am an animal lover it is legal in his country. I don't agree with it, I get very upset when i see or hear of an animal getting hurt. But there are so many things in life that shouldn't be but there is. Maria said it the way she feels it and that's ok with me, I still respect her and I'm sure Paul feels the same way. So let's rock on and enjoy life while we can. By the way I'm still waiting for Michael Vick to drop the soap and have Big Bubba make his entry. I only wish that i could be there to witness the event.
Posted By: Dennis the Bus Driver: - Saturday, February 9th 2008 @ 1:30pm
Leave Pedro Alone....
Hi Maria. I usually love your views and comments especially since you are good friends with Keith Olberman. But your comments this morning regarding Pedro Martinez and the whole cock fighting video fiasco really got me angry.
Yes, I agree this spectacle is cruel and torturous but you need to understand a few points....first and foremost cock fighting is legal in the Dominican Republic as well as many other Latin countries. I recently read that next to baseball it is the second most popular spectator event...I refuse to say sport. Apparently, it is a major part of their culture.
I refuse to condone this activity but outside of the U.S. it is a big part of their lives.
Be advised that this occasion with Pedro Martinez and Juan Marichal ocurred two years ago so why is just surfacing now? Leave it to You Tube to bring this non-event to the public's eye.
OK, i have said my piece and thank you for allowing me to voice my opinion.
Posted By: Paul - Friday, February 8th 2008 @ 11:42am
friendly fire
I don't read the papers too often, but the Good Samaritan cop who was shot by Westchester police was a major story. It was also covered by 88AM, 1010WINS, and newscasts on Q104.3.
There's not much we can do here, but pray for the officers family and friends, and hope it doesn't recur.
We can do something about animal abuse wherever it may occur. It is not accidental like the officers' shooting, which is why it too makes the papers and the newscasts.
Every day someones pet is stolen for sale to research labs for unnessesary procedures that produce answers we already know. Puppies, kittens, dogs, cats, rabbits cared for by someones son or daughter; taken to train fighting dogs to kill.
Animal abuse is a criminal act, not to be minimalized.
Let your elected officials know (in an election year) that we care about our feathered and four legged companions.
Maria-- keep up your animal stuff-- it does help!!

response to last entry
Nick - I just wanted to say that I agree with ur principles, but I disagree. If someone had to look it up then it was reported on. The problem is most people dont know it, but they are drawn to the sources of news that report mostly on stuff like Brittney. Also, less people are watching local news these days - that is why alot of people are ill informed, or they get their news from the wrong sources, thats just my take.
Maria - I hope everything is okay with your mom, i know from personal experience how tuff that can be.

Why this country is so messed up.
So you and your listeners seem like a motivated group when you get behind something, which is great. The majority of people though are so messed up and about 90 % of the media just perpetuates the problem. At work today I can't tell you how many times I heard about Britney Spears and whats going on with her. I couldn't care less. Then I hear on someones radio as a passing comment something about either the funeral or wake of an off duty officer that was shot by other Police officers. Why have I never heard about this. If this was a civilian that was shot wrongly, the media would be all over it. Trying to get us angry and point a finger at someone, but when they don't know how it will help them, they just leave it out of the news. Its disgusting. More people could tell you what Britney's hair looked like when what ever happened to her happened, but not one person could tell you the name of this fallen Police officer with out looking it up on the internet. Even you I am very said to say though I really like to listen to you every day at work. Would rather talk about a dog that was saved then this.

I'm with you Darlene:
I have two Dogs named Rosie and Stinky, they are to me my kids. I feel the same way you do Darlene and as far as Maria goes, she is a Beautiful person, both inside and out. My Wife tells me to see a shrink because I'm always' e-mailing Maria. She said that if Maria saw what i look like she would run away. But it's not about that, it's about letting Maria know i care about her and that a whole lot of us loves what she does for animals. I thank God for creating such a person and letting us share our lives with her. Take good care Darlene and happy new year.

You are the best Maria
I hope all of your listeners read this email Maria. I cnanot tell you how much you help me when I am down and out. Everyone, I recently lost my Shetland Sheepdog, Dakota. He turned 10 on December 27, 2007 so for 10 years I had my baby boy. Maria Milito has so much compassion I can't express that enough. I remember when she lost Clarice and my heart broke for her and I cried at my desk. Then time passed and I saw that Maria was getting better and that is how I hope to feel but I know I won't feel that soon enough. Dakota had a tumor in his heart and we had to lay him to rest this past Monday. I stayed with him for his final moment because I wanted him to see my face. For anyone who had an animal and this time must come, if you know your dog/cat is suffering, please just stay with them so they know when the go to rest they will have your image while they go to sleep. Maria, you are a wonderful person and this email is just to let your listeners know that you will always be there for them as you are for me.

KUDOS TO JUDGE!!!
Hey Maria,
Thanks for keeping everyone up to date with this bastard who set that poor dog on fire. I hope it will start sinking in these people minds that you can not harm animals!!
But these sick/animals that do this kind of behavior to innocent loving pets WILL never change!!! I just wish the we could do to them what they do to the animals!!
Thanks again- You rock Maria!!!!

Justice Served
Once again justice has been served. Two years for that piece of crap (although I myself was hoping harsher sentence). The message is getting there, slowly but surely, abuse an animal and go to jail!!! Keep writing and putting pressure on the legislators, organizations, and whomever else you can to show that we strongly are against abuse (of any form). Many thanks to Maria and the Q for not holding back, and to all of you out there - you know who you are.

Oval-dressed-nature-blessed
Oval-dressed-nature-blessed
Oval area in the middle of Central Park. Crowds of ordinary citizens enjoying the lighter, fine pleasures of life. A fountain of escaping the busy-city trends of business work days that many find hard to cope. The stressful day can damper one's happy spirit and smile. Frisbee games and hacky-sac foot plays. Grapes and cheese on a blanket of rest. Really close to Mother Nature’s heart. The grass breathes life into all citizens’ stressful voices. Now relaxed and a little more comfortable and ease. These cherished special moments seem to stop time in it's tracks. Like a good shower after a good game of softball. To watch those playful dogs run. Reminds all of our city dwellers that sometimes you've got to stop what you're doing........and smell the flowers on the way.

My lady friend has few words to speak. She can turn the negativity into sweet. Her philosophy is charming. My dear friend she is every sunshine style. Fashion is not her statement. For she is fashionable. In any State. Her chosen words are never spoken, until she knows the right time to speak them. Like a fine wine that gains taste. My lady friend. So many around. Pouring words into a crystal lake. So fine. Made by the rivers of time. My lady friend shines.
I had a wonderful Saturday evening, ate good, made love and got a good night sleep. Come early Sunday morning I woke up and went on line only to find this piece of disturbing news, " Michael Vick will get out of jail early" I have had it with the system, everything about it sucks. The bad guy always gets a break, I only hope that when this scumbag returns to the playing field (which he will) he breaks both his legs and the crowd tosses about a million dog bones onto the field. We will never know, but I also hope that Vick ran into big bubba while he was in the shower and got it right up the pooper. I would pay big bucks to see him in pain, on his knees and Barking up a storm. Let Vick feel the same pain those poor animals felt.

Clarice your beloved beautiful pug.
Maria,
I must say, I read your blog about Clarice and how you mentioned that you put Clarice's meds in water, and how she spent 7 days in 2005 in ICU. I had tears in my eyes, when I read what you wrote. I have two pugs as you very well know, Mocha and Spressie, and you reminded me of the eye gels I give my pugs, and you reminded me of how I have to clean my black pugs ears at least once a week. I had to upgrade to a King Size bed, because my pugs take up so much room, not to mention how my Boxer sprawls himself out on my bed. They are truly faithful companions, doggies. I love all animals, especially pugs and boxers.
God bless you Maria, and may he always remind you of Clarice as he has done. I think of Clarice often, because when I look at that beautiful face of hers she melts me. Your love for animals is so special. You truly are a beautiful person, inside and outside. My opinion, your also the best DJ with a gifted voice.
Clarice is always with you, she has left an impression on everyone who listens to the Q, and everyone who knows you.
Sincerely, Michael

Clarice
A friend of mine lost his dog over the summer. I've been "lending" him my dog in the hope that he will want to adopt another one soon.
He's been having a great time with my dog, Murphy, (a chocolate lab who swears he's the size of a chihuaha, but in reality he's the size of a small horse).
Since he lives alone, the house seems more empty now.
Hopefully in time, he will get over the guilt, and adopt another dog. I think that will get him out of his funk.

S.F. Tiger:
What a Beautiful animal and what a damn shame. I agree with John P.O. Those three guys did something to make that animal go nuts. They caused the death of that Tiger and I don't feel a bit sorry for them. The shame of it all is that they will get big bucks for being dirtbags. Ever notice that people who screw up in life more than half the time seem to get rewarded.

A X-mas Twilight Zone story
In tonight's story……a stray cat is wondering the streets. Shuffling through many moving legs running around from gift shop to gift shop. Crossing a busy intersection filled with beeping cars……and traffic lights……this cat has had enough. Skipping through the madness it runs into a quite park and takes a break by a small lake that has frozen over from the bitter cold. The cat starts thinking….."I don't understand why so many people running around are acting crazy. What am I missing? " Suddenly right there by the frozen lake a beaver comes by the cat and whacks it on his tail and takes off. Before the cat can do anything it started turning into a human being. The cat looked at its hands and feet and noticed it was standing on its own two back legs straight up. He starts walking towards the crowded people in the street and starts talking to them. Asking what is all this about. Can someone please tell me why are all of you running around? Tell me please. The people just looked at him strangely and ignored him. So the cat walked into a mall where there were decorations and lights. Many men and woman and children. A display where a man dressed in red with a long white beard. The smell of a bakery. Chimes of x'mas songs played over a speaker throughout the mall. The cat in its human form still was puzzled by it all. He took the lower level down to an area where children play. They were laughing and joking and singing. The cat still didn't understand. He than left the mall and walked down a street where there was a house of worship. There were no signs on this house to show what kind of house of worship it was. He opened the door and went in. The place was empty except for a woman who was sitting in the second row. The cat walked up and sat next to her still in its human form. He asked the woman "Can you please tell me what the Holidays are for……I don't understand. The woman shed a tear and said the holidays are for people to rejoice what they have. Weather it's family, friends or faith in something to reassure themselves that there is hope in their lives……Now the cat asked the woman why was she in this house of worship. The woman said: " I have no family, no friends. All I had was my cat Lilly. And she passed away two weeks ago. So I'm here to say a prayer to someone above to reassure me that it will be o.k.……. At this point the woman looked at this stranger…..and the stranger started to shrink back down to it's original form which was a cat…..the cat jumped up into the woman's lap and meowed………….. Magic episode. A holiday wish. Perhaps sometimes the best gift in life at the end of the year is a simple gesture of faith that can move a mountain…..or fill a gap between a cat and a woman……all right here : )in the Twilight Zone...
So Michael Vick is going to Jail, I feel so bad for him, my ass!!! He will become the victim now, I wish we all could see him bending over wide receiving " if you know what I am talking about " I only hope that the inmate makes Vick bark like hell while he's plowing away. Enjoy your stay Vick, you're a real dirtbag.

I agree with you. I've known you for a long time, and I know how much Celine your beautiful beloved Corgi meant to you.
Celine will always be there for you in spirit my friend, I truly believe you and Celine will meet up again. You were always there for her, and she has not forgotten you. May she rest in Doggie Heaven. Think of the "Rainbow Bridge Prayer".

Michael Vick
Michael Vick is a lowlife for tormenting and killing dogs. Let me make myself clear, any person who knowingly and willingly hurts a poor defenseless creature, for eg. a dog, cat, will definately hurt human beings. His actions for killing dogs makes him a scumbag.

Mike Vick
Well, as we all know, Mr. Vick is a complete jerk. But do you know who I despise even more than this dog killer? His supporters! How can they be so narrow minded!? I understand he's been worshipped as their god for so long but c'mon! Not to say that the people who have the time to go there just to hold up signs that basically say dogs are better than we are are much better, but at least there not supporting Mr. Satan *ahem* I mean Mr. Vick.

Spressie-my beautiful black pug's prognosis looks good.
Lou,
Thanks so much for your thoughful message about Spressie on Maria's blog. Your pugs are absolutely adorable, I saw every picture you posted of your precious dogs.. Pugs never loose their cutemess, they must take cute pills, because your pugs Molly and Odie are sooo cute. Pugs cuteness never gets old. Lots of laughs...
My beautiful black adorable puggie wuggie-Spressie, got her stitches removed last week. She is sooo smart, the tech Milton picked her up to hold her as the Vet took out her stitches, she had that worried (pathetic) look times 3. She remembered Milton when he brought her in the back while preparing her for surgery a few weeks back.. Poor baby thought she was going back for more surgey. After she realized, she wasn't having surgery, she was so happy.
She is doing fine, playful as ever, and yet she still finds the time to put the boxer in his place. He loves her, he keeps slobbering on her. She looks at him as if to say, "Your fresh". She also gives him that look as if to say, "Look Bub, watch yourself". He looks at her as he is turning his head with that dopy boxer adorable look like, "hey what did I do."..
Sincerely, Michael Kutiak

In The Window
The soft meditated state. The humming bird of the mind. The soothing ocean gently crashing on the shore. Cool wind blowing pass the ear lobes of a sanctuary. Peaceful River. Adorable landscape. Life as it should be. Life not forgotten. One day shall I return to overshadow the power of darkness, lies and war. One day soon it will be my gift to you. No longer will you lower your visage. No longer will the candle be replaced when its flame dies. For we look into Edens windows and see so many friends laughing. They've forgotten the tribulations of Earth. For their maker removed the fruits of knowledge from their hearts, minds and souls. For the Maker has blessed them with the Fruits of Life. As it should have been from the very beginning of Time.
I was just wondering - Has anyone given it any thought as to how in God's name any of us survived prior to the Internet? How we would survive now, without it?
BTW: Maria, you're the GREATEST!!!!!

Pray for my beautiful black pug Spressie
Hi Maria, staff & Q104 listeners,
Please pray for my beautiful black pug Spressie. She is the sweetest dog, as her trusting eyes can melt an iceberg.
She has a cancerous skin tumor-the size of a nickel, that needs to be removed. Her surgery is scheduled for November 13th. Please pray for my dog so that her surgery is a success, and pray that her skin cancer hasn't spread. My hope is that its in its early stages, and won't spread. I am looking at the positives, so please think and pray for my sweet pug and myself during this time.
Pugs are special dogs. Spressie is my pug angel, a real sweetheart of a dog.
Sincerely, Michael Kutiak

Feral Cats vs. PA ...cats losing :(
New York, Nov. 5, 2007) A demonstration against the plan of the Port Authority of NY and NJ to exterminate hundreds of feral cats at JFK Airport has been called for Thursday, Nov. 15, 11:30 am - 1:30 pm at Port Authority Headquarters (225 Park Ave. in Manhattan, betwn. 18th and 19th Sts., just north of Union Square). The Port Authority's Board of Commissioners will be meeting on that day and are the governing body which can order an immediate halt to the extermination effort - an effort that animal welfare experts have uniformly criticized as inhumane and ineffectual.

A Jar of Moments
A jar of Moments
I've had a few moments in my life. There the ones I recall. I've had a few moments in my life. The best times of them all. If I can take all those moments and put them in a jar. My life would be so damn-good. Money couldn't even take you that far. I've seen those same moments in some friends of mine. I know when they reveal a smile. I've seen those same moments by the blues in their hearts. And when they share those moments with friends that do part. And when they take all those moments and put them in a jar. Their lives become so damn-good. Money couldn't take them that far..
I have seen Christmas decorations in the stores already for almost 2-3 weeks, as well as items to buy. Also, there are 2 houses in my area already decorated with their lights now. I think now it's more of a game who can be first with the decorations and / or sales. Last Friday, Wal-Mart had their "black" Friday. By the time, December 1st gets here, I am sick and tired of Christmas and Christmas songs and wish for January 1st. People call me a Scrooge but how long does it have to last! What happened to the day after Thanksgiving to start the season. I've been told, well then the stores will be crowded and people won't have enough time to shop. Isn't Christmas about the birth of Christ and not how much we spend on each other or the gifts we get. My other peeve is that I search (or happen to come across) throughout the year for gifts for my friends and family, if I see something that they would truly like, I will buy it, whether it is on sale or not. Then I receive some items picked up from the nearest dollar store, with no thought, whatsoever to who I am as a person. I know it's abou the giving but geez, at least give me something I will appreciate, like and will use. I have a box in the closet, full of things I will never use, am thinking of putting it by the curb and puttting a sign on it, "FREE"...

Chapters: Disbelief
Chapters: Disbelief
So it is said that the chapter turns. We like to believe it is so. But that chapter has been read by the last generation. The new generations are experiencing a written chapter all ready pre-viewed. Let's take that old movie and make a re-make. Why are you reading their chapter? Why repeat history? I'd like to write a new chapter that was never written before. But the economy will collapse. I guess the economy is more important than new forms of freedom and thought. We cling to that chapter because we are reluctant to face the truth. We cling to that chapter because most of us are afraid. That chapter is just a security blanket. Most of us don't even know why we go to vote. That chapter is told by most of us most. They tell me to be down to Earth and realistic. Why I ask? Your realty is not life. Your realty is death. I am just a stepping stone for your own chapter and waistland. See the decay in your spirit. See the restless people now sleepless. How did I not get caught up in the worlds tangled web? I tore out that chapter from the past, and wrote a new one for myself!! : ) (This is meant to be positive..........)
TRULY ENJOY YOUR STATION. MY ONLY PROBLEM WITH YOUR SONG SELECTION IS IT SEEM'S YOU PLAY "LAYLA" AT LEAST ONCE A DAY AND WHENEVER YOU PLAY "CHEAP TRICK" IT'S THE SAME SONG "WANT YOU TO WANT ME" ANY CHANCE YOU CAN PLAY ANOTHER CHEAP TRICK SONG. KEEP ROCKIN

Ellen vs the shelter
Hi Maria - I think it is great you are such an animal lover! I was in my car around lunch time & heard you mention that poor burned puppy in Paterson, I came back to work & went to your page to get the details - much appreciated.
I must disagree with you however (slightly) on your post about the Ellen situation. I agree that the puppy would probably have been better off staying in that new home, I think the shelter volunteers should have done a home visit (or more than one if necessary) & given the ok for the dog to stay if appropriate. Also I do not necessarily agree with that group's rule about small dogs not being adopted into a house with kids. But I just adopted an abused dog from another rescue group around 6 weeks ago & I can tell you that you are incorrect when you say that no shelter wants their dogs back - not true. You do sign a contract when you finalize the adoption saying that if things do not work out with the pet you will return him/her to that specifica shelter/rescue group - no matter what. You are not even permitted to give the pet to another no-kill shelter! I heard today also that The Northshore Animal League has that same rule. Just wanted to let you know. Again, not saying I totally agree with this shelter in this case - would love to see them make an exception here. Sure it would be because she's Ellen, but hey - wouldn't this be a great benefit of celebrity status!

The Union City Union Rat
This morning as I was driving my mom and sister to work, down Hudson Ave. I got stuck in traffic, between 32nd street and 33rd street, so I went to light a cigarette and I just happened to notice that they finally put up a Union Rat, they have been there for about a year now and are some really nice guys. Granted it's a standard black rat, but it was pretty funny because my mom said we should tell you about it since we all know how much you enjoy hearing about them.
Posted By: Junior - Tuesday, October 16th 2007 @ 10:09am
ALMOST HIT THAT HUGE RAT:
I found the union rat, it was over in Jackson Heights Queens. I was in my Bus rounding a curve and almost hit the darn thing. The people that were striking had it out in the right lane of traffic, and almost became part of the Bus. That Rat up close is huge, and Maria speaking of Traffic, would love to hear some.

So I'd like to see and hear all of you going the extra mile and campaign to keep Rock & Roll alive. It's time to go to your local bars, clubs and start expressing the need of having more places for rock bands to perform. It could even be local high schools that hold a rock concert in the gymnasium......and in the Spring and Summer have more outdoor concerts at parks. It's time to get up and Rock & Roll today......demand it......live it.....breathe it.......speak it.........write letters....send e-mails........society needs more places to open up the doors and welcome back rock & roll.........and you know what I'm talking about!!!!!!!

Bruce's Interview
Maria, I was flipping back and forth from 60 minutes to The Yankees and I caught a little of Bruce's interview. The part where the interviewer said that people might think he is "unpatriotic" because of his new CD. I am a Vietnam Vet and a retired Fire Captain, so I not only have experienced war but the trauma of losing 343 of my brothers on 911.I am also a musician, so Bruce was right on the money. It would be "unpatriotic" to sit by and say nothing when the things that make this country great are being violated by the people who run the country. I support the troops but not the war, because I remember what is what like to come home and have people look at you like a leper. In my mind Bruce has it right.

I voted good for both of them and it has nothing to do with either one of them actually. Kids are great, it seems both adore the girl they have why not have more. They may not always be the kids "mommy and daddy" in the traditional way but I think they will always be loving parents.... as for what happens to them as a couple... I don't care... why does anyone .... its a whacky life and not one I'd choose but mine is not for everyone either... finally my last thought is he's made soooo much money.... may as well have kids and share the wealth with them.....Live, Laugh, Love and Rock N Roll...............................

hey Maria, i love q104.3 and you ofcourse, but why dont you ever play any tribute bands? they ve done a fine job doing remakes and most songs sound better then the originals. for example: the black crows did remakes of zeppelin with the help of jimmy paige. give it a shot!!!!

REO Speedwagon
Hey Maria,
I was wondering why you (and the other Q DJs for that matter), don't play any songs by REO Speedwagon. I know they have gotten the reputation of being a ballad band, but they still have some great rockin' tunes such as Back On The Road Again, Ridin' The Storm Out, and Roll With The Changes. Of course I wouldn't mind hearing Keep On Loving You or Can't Fight This Feeling, but I can see the others fitting Q's format better.

Event at NJ Animal Shelter Sunday
Hi Maria,
The staff and volunteers at Sayreville Pet Adoption Center in NJ are big fans of 104.3. We listen to the station every day, and so do our animals! On Sunday 9/30 from 9-3 we are having our annual 'No Fleas Market', a fundraiser and bazaar with lots of different vendors. We will also have food, snacks, raffles, and of course, lots of animals to adopt. The address is 1400 Main Street in Sayreville NJ. Check out our website at www.sayreville.petfinder.com. Take care and thanks for all you do for rescue and sheltered animals

Scottsooooooo
I remember Scotsoooo doing an interview with John Lennon. I believe it was during a A-Z Beatle marathon. Well I really liked Scotsoooo .....and he will always be remembered in my thread of rock & roll memories. And Maria. Believe it or not. That probably was Scotso flickering the light. Why do I know this. Well on the day of his passing. You were on the radio in tears and had to take a brief break. That was the first day I e-mailed you to try and to console you. I also sent an e-mail to the program manager and suggested for him to do a very special Beatles 12:00pm segment to honour Scotso. The program manager e-mailed me back and told me that he was going to take my sugestion and do it. Normally I wouldn't have gone out of my way to do all this for I never ever corresponded with anyone via e-mail at any radio station. But something else was hinting me to do so. And I know Maria and Scotso were close. So perhaps it was that same flickering light that compelled me to send those e-mails......... Scotso.....you will always be here with us in spirit......: )

Clarice the Wonder Pug
Maria - Both happy and sad that you've made it through the past year so admirably - Clarice, where she is in "Doggy Heaven" is looking down on her mommy and sending her love to you as she will forever - I know she will be proud of you when you feel the time is right to honor her memory by giving a loving home and heart to another homeless, needy pet.
The anniversary of her passing brought tears to my own eyes in sympathy and understanding of what you are feeling - having lost more beloved pets over the years than you can believe, I empathize with your pain and grief - it takes a while to move on but, when the time is right, Clarice will tell you in her own way, and you will find the next "love of your life". Until then, my thoughts and prayers are with you!

nice to see you last night @msg how about some rick derringer !!!!!! see you soon keep playing that rock and roll
My husband and I went to the Genesis concert at Msg last night. It was wonderful. It should have been called the "Phil Collins show" because without him there would be no show. His voice is still great and he knows how to work an audience. He and Chester Thompson did a 10 minute dueling drum bit that was phenomenal. There's nothing like watching the "old british rockers". I hope they keep it up for years to come.....

Why not the King?
Rock & roll Q-rock fans and radio-producers. I have a question that I can't answer and perhaps all of you might have the answer to. Q-Rock plays rock and roll across the board. I hear all the greats being played and requested. But why is it Q-rock never plays any Elvis. Here is the American Icon who openned the door for Rock & Roll for all to hear and see. The list of bands and singers that came after him are endless; IE. The Beatles, Led Zepp, The Doors, ....etc....the list goes on. Folks the truth here is if there was no Elvis. Many of the groups you air probably would not have done the things they have done to be recognized. So I'm looking for an answer to "Why" some Elvis songs are not played on "Q" Rock. Maybe some of us don't care for Elvis or think he is a phony? Perhaps because of the way he existed our lives? But Elvis is no worst in this area than some of the artists you play. All I know is one thing for sure. If Elvis didn't come along and show us what it was really about.........You and the listeners wouldn't be hearing 3/4 of the music you're hearing right now. Please don't go by what I have to say.....go out and rent a DVD of Elvis performing as a singer.....after witnessing what you see.......tell me if this guy from Memphis wasn't the King of Rock & Roll?
Thank you for all you do regarding all our animals. Your efforts do NOT go unnoticed and are greatly appreciated by many.
THANK YOU!!! Dave

Hi Maria, I love listening to your show during lunch breaks or when I am off from work. I saw you 2 times both when you introduced David Lee Roth, once at PNC in 2002, and once in 2006 at the Nokia Theatre. Keep up the good work, you rock!!!

Whoopi Goldberg
Never watch The View; only tape when Rod Stewart or Elton John on a long time ago. These women are obnoxious. What Whoopi said regarding Michael Vik is an outrage. I think she left her brains home that day. After hearing about this on TV and in paper, I think everyone who loves animals, should not be watching this show, maybe if enough people boycott this show, hopefully, the producers will get her off the show. We have to stand up and speak for these poor animals, because, unfortunately they cannot speak for themselves. Phyllis D. Wayne, NJ

Jerry Lewis
Well in view of the latest comments made by Jerry Lewis and a certain organization. The fact of the matter is this: Here is a good man trying to raise money once a year to help children. He raised about $ 63 million dollars. I don't know if the organization that's upset with Jerry even donated a dime. But here is the point. The man is in his eighties. He wants to give something back to the world. He and the MSD are doing it. So I don't understand why a good man should be kicked of something he said that might of offended some people when he's there to help people. It's getting to the point that even if you're a very good person, there will always someone there to kick you down..........(Folks, I'm sorry to say......there's something seriously wrong with this picture)

Whoopi defends Vick on the View
I like Whoopi --
But the dumb comments defending Vick just go way out of line.
Forget the fact that it's a matter of plain human decency (or the lack thereof) that keeps us from defending this guy. Or that these poor animals deserved better for their misplaced and unflinching loyalty to that.....creep.
Let's think about this: It's a FEDERAL CRIME -- HELLLLLOOOO Whoopi!

One Man's Redemption?
Okay, so I guess Michael Vick and his actions are a big topic these days? Being an avid animal lover and an avid sports fan, I feel I have a pretty balanced perspective on this. Most importantly, I am a human being just like you who are reading this.
True, Michael's actions were beyond cruel and clearly inhumane. But don't forget, he has the same blood that we all do. He committed crimes that were illegal and morally wrong. The killing of the innocent - animal or human - is something that should never enter one's mind. There is no denying he made these choices on his own, and he publically stated that. His actions can not be forgiven. But can he be?
In Mike's case, he believed he was untouchable based on his life of praise and the success he achieved. For him to be convicted, which he will be based on his plea, is the ultimate fall. A fall he HAS NEVER faced. There are others who believe they too are untouchable regardless of there "standing" in the public eye. These people may fall too but will it impact us?
While watching Mike speak the other day, it's clear he has finally been humbled. How he was humbled, again, is a disgrace to society, but more importantly, to himself.
What do we as human's do? Do we continue to pound this guy with the facts of what he did? He did it and knows what he did better than all of us in the public court. He is the one who is now feeling the pain of the animals he committed those acts against - of course not physically. I could see it.
His employer, Arthur Blank, had his press conference to save the image of his team both in the community and financially. Denouncing Michael's actions, Mr. Blank did state that after all that has happened that he still believed in redemption.
So does society believe in redemption these days? Can we be the bigger people and accept that Michael Vick has already begun to better himself? I believe we have to. If we can't see that he desrves a chance to help himself, then we are just as wrong as he was.
From these recent events, hopefully, we can all look in the mirror and see that we need to help each other and pick each other up when we fall. Or it will continue to divide our society.
I believe these events are a turning point, for Mike and for all of us.
**On a side note, anyway I can hear some Zebra or America?**
Hopefully, the editor isn't working too hard today ;)

Vick is only sorry because he got caugth, your heart does not change that fast. one day he could kill and the next he cares. He should be givng money to the shelters that have the dogs that were left behind.

stuff and request
One, I just figured out who Vick is and I'm siding with the whole castration/taste of own medicine thing. But then, I think too big a deal is being made out of this just as another attempt to persuade the public away from the real issues like the genocide in Darfur and the war in Iraq. We have much worse probelms in this country than Micheal Vick, like our deficit being over $2 Billion. But aside from that, I do appreciate your concern for animals, that is admirable, and I share your passion. Moreover, I can't figure out to how to do requests from the internet, but I'd like to hear "Queen-Don't Stop Me Now." Thanks, and take care.

Punishment for Vick
Lets see, first lets starve him, than lets put him on a tread mill for a few days (while he is starving) than lets put him on a rape pole, hmm throw him in a pit with a few hungry bears oh, and than when he is clinging to life, lets drown him first, than hang him and if all that doesnt work lets just shoot him. This may save taxpayers some money. He is a complete disgrace. And I find it so disturbing that other big name athletes are actually coming to his defense. It is so very sad....

We applaud you and cannot even begin to tell you just how impressed and thankful we are for people, such as yourself, using their fame and position to make this world a better place.
We Join you, Maria, in encouraging anyone and everyone out there who has a Michael Vick shirt to part with it for this most worthy cause.

Vick the Dick
He just pleaded guilty- gee I though he didn't know anything about it.... I still think the punishment should be put them all in a pit against the dogs, naked and just for good measure rub a little meat on them. Lets see how tough they are then.

Maria, You Truly Rule
You are truly voice of New York, Maria. Thank you for shining light on issues which too often remain on the back burner. Thanks also for giving New Yorkers a chance to be generous by giving us so much information about the animals. and just a few words about Stephon Marbury...I love how he says,"from what I've heard...it's just a sport." ...what he's HEARD?? who is this boy eavesdropping on that he hears such crazy ideas? my message to Stephon is this: dog fighting is torture, Stephon, not a sport. Playing basketbal IS a sport, so, stick with what you know, not what you hear. You can't handle both, just yet. YEch! xo Karyn
Hi Maria, Can you play "Smoke on the Water"? Thanks
Posted By: Donna - Thursday, August 23rd 2007 @ 12:05pm
Stephon Marbury
Hi Maria,
Stephon Marbury needs to go play basketball and stop with the sympathetic support of Michael Vick. He's trying to make Michael Vick out to look like the victim instead of the villian. Maybe they should go check out Stephon's house and see if he has anything illegal going on!

Dog fighting
Everyone who compares victimized dogs to humans, I'd like to say that there are couple of major differences in the circumstances.
Dogs don't have the chance to find shelter, or escape from the torture or from their faith measured out to them by some sadistic individuals. The dog's very nature is being "raped" in the process of training them to be a fighter when in reality they would much rather prefer attention, affection, love and peace. Traits, that we as humans more or less pretty much forgot about! And also let's mention the countless kittens and other small animals that are torn apart during the "training".
As for the bulls...I think it's just as barbaric than dog fight. However, there are some fundamental differences between the two. The lenght of the time that dogs are tortured both mentally and physically, the gore, and of the ordeal endured by other creatures that accomponies this blood "sport".
In one aspect both of them are the same - they are for the "fun" and "enjoyment" of human beings!?

Re Stephon Marbury Says Dog Fighting is a Sport
I saw a posting on Yahoo that Stephon Marbury of the NY Knicks comparing Dog fighting to hunting. I abhor hunting as well as dog fighting. Maybe a campaign can be started to boycott Knick games this coming season. I have a 13 month male Scottie and a 4 month female we just rescued and I feel very strongly about this. Thank youl

dog fighting vs bull fighting
It's nice to see everyone up in arms about dog fighting. But how is that any different then bull fighting. Actually it's better then bull fighting the dog has a chance to live.
So why not the out cry and action on behalf of the bulls? Oh that's right, they are food. Food doesn't deserve respect. So what you say to the people that eat dog? Is dog fighting then acceptable in cultures that eat dog?

Dog Fighting
When I read Maria's blog dated 8/21 I couldn't believe someone actually asked what the difference was between boxing and dog fighting! In addition to her answer that a boxer is fighting by choice I'd also like to include the fact that if said boxer were to lose too many fights he wouldn't be hanged or drowned. He wouldn't also be tormented on a daily basis so as to keep him in a constant state of aggression!
The person who asked that question seriously deserves a slap upside the head!

putting things into perspective
I'm against animal cruelty, but I think we need to put things into perspective. People are so fast to action when someone famous kills dogs, and yet they don't care when a human gets killed. I'm sure if you picked up a paper, the down black hawk and 14 dead soldiers would be page 7 and the Michael Vick story would be page 1. I think we should care about our brothers, sisters, mothers, daughters, fathers and sons, before we care about animals.

Vick
Regarding Michael Vick and his reprehensible crimes: The torture and murder of animals is a horrible thing. But I'd like to point out that we are still torturing and murdering Iraqis under false pretenses. Where's the outrage? Where's the condemnation of the war criminals that lied our way into this? Where are the calls to punish the profiteers? I'm listening.

Vick Pleads Guilty!!!
I just heard that Michael Vick pleaded guilty for the horrible crimes committed against all of those poor animals. The only thing i hope for now is that he gets a rather large animal loving guard and roomate to watch over him while he is in jail. Enjoy prison Mr. Vick - and remember each time you "drop the soap", it will be in honor of each animal you so savigly tortured and killed.

Heard you the other day on the radio commenting on HBO's John from Cinncinati. I can't believe they cancelled it. i was really enjoying the whole experience of the show and was looking forward to where they would be going with it, and now no more boo whoo. It was a great escape while it lasted. I guess it was too quirky for the masses.

Favorite Rock Commercial in 2007
The other day I saw the Dunkin Donuts commercial with Ace Frealy of KISS. I had the biggest laugh!!!! Especially when the director in the meeting asked Ace about the PNL statement....and ACE responses: "I've got your PNL statement"..and he touches the tope of his guitar and sparks began to fly....and he starts playing........this is a classic rock commercial if I ever seen one!!! I laughed so hard I almost fell out of my chair!!! If there's ever an award for best Rock Commercial.....ACE brother.....you should win this one!!!! And evertime I see this commercial.....I laugh again!!!! : )
Check your local animal shelters and you may be allowed to come by and walk a dog or two. My kids need community service to be eligible for the National Honor Society. So Saturday afternoons we go to the Warwick, NY Shelter. The staff does not have time to walk them and the dogs are happy to get out. Bring along a couple of extra friends and you can get a few dogs out in the sunshine.

"John from Cincinnati" is Cancelled?!
My husband and I were extremely disappointed to hear your announcement this afternoon that HBO had cancelled "John from Cincinnati"! He actually called me on my cell phone from his car to tell me, and I had just heard it while in my car. That, and "Entourage" are the ONLY shows we watch together! It really had our interest piqued! NOW what?? (Who WAS John??)
We can't even stand to watch the inane commercials for "Flight of the Conchords"! Maybe if we start watching it, though, HBO will cancel that too, and find something better to replace it with!!

Watched every episode. First thought it was similar to "Stranger in a Strange Land" sci-fi novel. Have enjoyed it, been confused by it, still enjoy it - even though it seems to have gotten religious. PS - "El Camino"? - translates as "The Path" or "The Road". Really enjoyed seeing all the faces from Deadwood working in this.

Maria,
(What is left of) Max Yasgur's farm is indeed for sale. However, the field where the Original Woodstock Festival was held was sold years ago - it is now the home of the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, which is an amphitheater hosting concerts and such. It's similar to the Virginia Beach Amphitheater.
All that is for sale is the original house and its nearby surrounds.

She talks to you from 9:00 am to 2:00pm. A voice that's been heard by many for over 20 years. Yes she likes to take your requests of classic rock songs you may have grown-up with or are just beginning to discover. A dark mistress. A sorcerist. She's the Queen of the air waves.

More Wonderful Falcons!!!
On February 18, 2007, Atlanta Falcons' Jonathan Babineaux beat to death his live-in girlfriend's dog, Kilo, a one-year-old pit bull mix. The motive was apparent retaliation against his girlfriend, Blair Anderson, for an argument she and Babineaux had earlier that same night. After the argument, Anderson left the house, leaving her two dogs, Kilo and Ace, with the Falcons' defensive lineman. Not long after, Babineaux phoned Anderson to inform her that something was wrong with Kilo. He advised that she should come home and check on him. Anderson returned home to find Kilo in extreme physical distress. Anderson rushed Kilo to the vet but he was dead on arrival. Autopsy results showed Kilo died from blunt force trauma to the head, leading Gwinnett County police to arrest and charge Babineaux with felony cruelty to animals. The second dog, Ace, was later removed from the Babineaux household and placed in the care of Animal Control.
In spite of the felony charge, Babineaux remains free on $2,300 bond and is still actively playing for the Falcons. To date, Babineaux has received no punishment or suspension from either the Falcons or the NFL.
Blogger William K. Wolfrum aptly sums up the glaring hypocrisy which now enshrouds the Atlanta Falcons: Babineaux is currently in the Falcons pre-season camp, obviously keeping a low profile.
Simply put, however, as long as Babineaux is allowed to play with the Falcons while Vick is forced to sit out, the NFL's and the Falcons' treatment of Vick can only be seen as a PR ploy. It has nothing to do with ethics, or a standard of character they want from their players. As long as Babineaux remains active, the NFL and the Falcons are little more than hypocrites whose hands were forced in the Vick case.

Please please please stop saying you are " going deep" on certain albums or artists then play the same songs you always play. I have noticed since you had that contest recently about being the program director, the station has " picked"a few of these songs off the playlists and have added them heavily to the rotation. Now its the SOS. case in point if i hear Stevie Wonder's "superstition" I will have to change the station. You wanna go deep play "trick of the light" by the who, or " sister morphine" by the stones.........

STAY TO THE RIGHT
I've been coming into the city for more years than I remember and I can't understand why people don't stay to the right while they are walking. On the sidewalks, up and down the subway stairs--how hard is it? You drive on the right side of the road, stick to the freaking right side on the sidewalks. The flow of people would be so much smoother.
The worst are the tourists in midtown. Not only do they not stay to the right, but they will stop in place and just look around like lost puppies. Maybe that can't be controlled, but at least those of us who commute or live in the city can avoid bumping into each other and get to where we go faster if we would all just STAY TO THE RIGHT!!!

I'm truly an old time fan. I well remember the halcyon days of WLIR. How great you were, You were a DJ at 10 years old, I guess. I even remember the first move into FM rock, in the mid-1960's on WOR, and then WABC-FM, and finally, WNEW-FM...All great, all in the past. NOW, Q104.3 RULES the air-waves.
This old hippie was at Woodstock, and Watkins Glen.

Excellent "Police" Show
I have to say the Police show at the Garden last night was everything you could have asked for. The set list included all the songs you would have wanted them to play. Sting was in fine voice and Andy Summers rocked the house. As a drummer, I was really impressed by Stewart Copeland. I heard about the comments Copeland made about how bad they were when the tour started. I must say that last night they seemed to be locked in with each other. One of the best concerts I've ever seen!!!

repeats
Hi Maria, Let me start by saying I've been listening for years. My frustration is with the range of songs played on the station. There are so many songs written by classic rock artists, and it seems you guys only play the top few, or most well known songs, making for tremendous repeats of the same songs. If I hear Pink Floyd one more time I'll scream! I must admit that when I tune in and hear the same songs I switch stations. (Pink Floyd same songs over and over.) If you are a classic rock station, why not bring in a wider variety of songs from awesome bands? They have written many more great tunes than the same tired ones you play repeatedly. Sorry if this sounds negative, but I do love the station, but I'm very frustrated, and don't want to keep changing the station. Thanks for listening to my rantings. Deb

Great News! Thanks for posting the pit bull my brother found the other morning in Greenpoint. I am happy to report that many of our friends were impressed not to mention the fact that the little lady has found a new home.
ONE LESS PIT BULL FOR THE MICHAEL VICK CAMP!
Anyway, thank you again for all you do and keep rocking. You are truly the BEST!
Best regards,
ONE OF A MILLION NUMBER ONE FANS!

Just to let you know...
I recently sent letters to Nike, the NFL and Reebok to thank them for being the voice of all those animals who could not speak for themselves. Now I hope that the hammer of justice hits the nail on the head of Mr. Vick and he is sent to prison for the max. penalty allowable. Although, personally, I'd rather see him striped naked, beaten and starved, and then throw him into a pit with the dogs he abused. But that might be asking too much so for now I'll just take the victory and enjoy it. Blessed be.

We Did It!
Hey, Maria. It's your friendly animal lover, Erin. So, it looks like we did it! Not only has Nike dropped Vick, but Reebok has also refused to sell any Vick gear. They don't have a contract with him, but they have told the NFL they won't sell his merchandise! Let's have everyone thank Nike and Reebok for being the FIRST to take a stand instead of dodging the issue.
Let's keep it up, Maria! We're making a difference, I know it!
Love, Erin W. Sayville, NY

The Poll
Can we can a celebrity version of the Ultimate Fighter to put the American public out if its misery. We can throw Britney, Lindsey, Nicolie Richie and who ever else wwe want into the match. Hopefully they will knock some sense into each other.
I got nothing against having a good time but when you live in the spotlight you definitely need to be more discrete.

Dog Burner
Derick Phanord, the lowlife who killed the pitbull terrier also according to the SPCA of Suffolk, starved Red, his other pit, for two weeks in an unventilated closet. May I suggest, when he is convicted, he be confined in a nice warm BBQ pit, with no food or water for two weeks.
The SPCA believes this dog was being fight trained,but was too meek to compete successfully.
Seeing as how Derick looked overweight in the paper and on TV, diet and heat would do him a world of good.
Then throw his ass in jail.

Another Jagger Fan
This is copied directly fromtoday's Journal News (http://www.nyjournalnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070726/NEWS02/707260412)
Mick Jagger fan to celebrate his birthday at her Larchmont deli
LARCHMONT - Lillian Kearns, owner of Kearns Deli, is an avid Mick Jagger fan and as anyone who is knows, today is his 62nd birthday.
"I've always been a fan and everybody knows it," she said this morning from her shop with a Rolling Stones LP - long playing record - playing in the background on her record player.
Her 135 Chatsworth Ave. deli is bedecked with streamers and crepe paper, she said. This is the third year in a row that she has celebrated Jagger's day.
"One customer said, 'You are over the edge,'" Kearns laughingly said.
"I wear a copy of a record disc as jewelry around my neck," she said. Kearns even has joined Andy Hilfiger, the musical brother of Tommy Hilfiger, on stage at local sites to sing "Honky Tonk Woman," she said.
At noon, Kearns will bring out a sheet cake, give out free cupcakes and, along with anyone who comes by, sing "Happy Birthday" to Mick.
By the way, her husband is a Grateful Dead fan and they have a smaller celebration planned for Jerry Garcia's birthday Aug.1.

RE Ed B.
We MUST concern ourselves as a society to condemn animal abuse. What makes you think that these individuals will stop with dogs or cats? They WILL "graduate" when that thrill is gone. Abuse is abuse; be it to an animal or a child, and NEITHER SHOULD BE TOLERATED IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM!!!

Animal cruelty
Thank G-d they caught that sick son-of-a-bitch in Brentwood. I cried all over again after watching the the news last night. I still can't believe that someone could do such a heinous act to a poor defenseless animal. I hope he doesn't make bail; hope he is convicted; but what I'd rather see is an eye for an eye, etc. I know I sound cruel, but when I think of what that poor dog must have suffered thats unconscionable. And again, at least the poor dog died in a loving environment and not somewhere in the alley. Thanks to the Brentwood police dept. They deserve a medal and also to the people who reported him.

Mick Jagger's birthday
Hi Maria,
My friend Janice Connelly from Staten Island is the biggest Stones fan. Every year she has a party for Mick at the Great Kills Swim Club. We have a cake and sing to him. Lots of partying. She has pictures of Mick taped all around our table at the Swim Club. The best part is that the Swim club's night watchman is a big "Q" fan and has the station on all night over the speakers. I would love if you would mention it on thursday.

Bigger Fish to Fry
Maria,
I admire you and your listeners love of animals. I love animals too and believe that they should never be harmed in anyway. However I feel we as a society we have bigger fish to fry. In other words why don't we concern ourselves with our children and the cruelty that they suffer. Everyday innocent kids are abused or even killed much like this dog on Long Island but we are more concerned about the dog? Well for me the kids come first and we need to evaluate our priorities here. Thanks for listening

Animals
Maria, Love the show and I also love that love animals in general. I am a huge NFL fan and Michael Vick is one of the most dynamic players in it. Three cheers to Roger Goodell in telling this guy to stay home and don't report to camp.
If he is smart the owner of the Falcons will cut him as soon as all the evidence is brought forward and he is guilty.
Hey, what is next Sharpton going to come to his defense!! Give me a break !

Thin the Herd
Animal abusers, child abusers, police killers; whatever color you are; white collar, blue collar, unemployed. There is no excuse. If you live by the sword - you should die by the sword. Vick's a piece of crap. (I'm tired of both the race and money cards, they've been overplayed.) Grow up, get an education, get a job to support your children and your family, care for your parents - live clean or get the hell out of here. The courts should really pass down some harsh judgments on these creeps - thin the heard - if you know what I mean. Hurt them in their pockets, give them the chair. Ooooh am I too graphic. What do you think burning and fighting animals is??? I wonder what Vick would do if he didn't have money to gamble on the dogs? He probably would fight his sisters or brothers or maybe even his parents! As for that piece of crap who burned the rottweiler, I hope you rot, and, don't worry, someone will turn you in. I wish I knew who you were - cause I would certainingly like the cash! Yo gotta' love the Q for their defense of animals!!!!!
I truly can not stand the thought of how that poor pit bull was set on fire. I agree that the owner, or whoever, should be put through the same misery. I have owned pit bulls and rotties my whole life, and they are nothing but sweet gentle, loyal animals until they are put in the hands of ANIMALS!! WHOEVER puts an animal/child through ANY type of cruelty should be severely punished!!! and anyone who thinks otherwise should also be severely punished.

Sharpton's a Tool
Hi Maria, I for once am in agreement with Al Sharpton. And this will probably be the last time. Unfortunately, I feel due to Vicks' status and money, he will not be punished as severely as he should. He will have his lawyers extend the trial so he can not miss too much time in training camp, etc. I am a long time listener of Q1043. I love Jim and Shelly (Go Devils) in the AM. Vick should be banned from playing this season, fined, and made to work in animal shelters all over this fine land. I feel though that his punishment will not warrant the crime. As I said before, I hate Al Sharpton to no end. This is one of the only times he has come out of his hole when an african american has done something wrong. Where was he when those 2 officers were shot and 1 was killed last week? My bad. He only comes out of his hole when whites, be they citizens or police officefrs kill an african american. Note to Al. Check the prisons in the area. How many whites do you see there. Not too many. Most prisons are dominated by african americans. Do the math. That is also why a lot of african americans are stopped in there cars. If they are doing nothing wrong, why should they care if they are stopped. It is not profiling, it is crime prevention You are nothing but a troublemaker and problem causer, to say the least. Take care Maria. Love the Q. Keep rocking..

Vick is Sick
God Bless you Maria for helping condemn Dog-fighting and other acts of cruelty against animals. As far as Mr. Vick is concerned, he needs to do serious jail time!!! There should be a 3 to 10 year sentence for EACH act of creulty, served consecutively. I hope Vick goes to jail for the rest of his life and his soul rots in hell.

deeper issues.
absolutely horrifying. almost to much to absorb. just another one of those things which our subconcious minds simply could do without. although he has not been convicted, and that is big, he hasnt been convicted, his name is marked forever. how proud his mom should be now, these two boys she raised to be " men ". all those millions. all those fans. that feeling. a pro athlete. the time and money he could have spent on the society that produces these thoughtless mindless athletes, not to mention the hardened criminals that DONT become world famous athletes! the commish has much deeper issues with these athletes. he is facing a mountain and hes still the car looking up. WHEN convicted of these unspeakable acts, vick should indeed be banned from the NFL....yes forever. why not? im ready for the athlete with class. where are the curtis martins and ladanian thomlinsons? out with the trash...no matter how UNBELIEVABLY TALENTED HE WAS!!!

Kindness
I was sickened but delighted to hear Maria Molito respond to this issue of dogfighting. if people want to see fighting, they should just do it themselves and to each other, and not include innocent people or, and ESPECIALLY animals. I have been a member of the humane society, farm sancuary, and allycat allies and best friends, so i know a bit about animal welfare. this is a sick business associatedd with sick people. phyllis neri, dn

Vick
Maria,
While I totally agree with you about dog fighting, I think you are way out of line asking the NFL to sack Vick. Michael Vick has been indicted, he has not been tried and convicted. If and when he is convicted then he should be fired and his sponsors should also can him.
To take actions like the ones being taken now are premature.
Remember in this country we are innocent until proven guilty.

suspension
Mentioning the HSUS website is a great way to let the NFL know that Vick should be banned for his involvement in this garbage.
More important would be to contact the SPONSORS of NFL games and let them know this behavior cannot be tolerated. Do they want their products associated with an individual using the puppy or cat next door as "bait" to train these dogs to fight to kill? I think not.
Maybe Commisioner Goodell will listen to those who fill hi$ pocket$---but they have to hear from US.
Maria, you are the best at getting the word out on things that matter; keep it up!

On Behalf of Animals...
I speak on behalf of those who can't speak for themselves!!!What Vick and his cohorts have done is so heinous, and people all over must come to realize that this is so. We can only hope that the sponsors for the NFL (and Vick) and the NFL itself will punish him by removing him from their ads and the team itself, permanently. Hurt him in his pocket, even before his trial.
Children all over the world look up to athletes as 'heros.' If Vick is not punished, then what message are we sending to our youth? Somehow, some of us are just not gettin' it!! Have a heart people; let's apply so much pressure on these organizations and the courts, that they will have no choice.
Even if Mr. Vick didn't abuse the animals himself he still needs to be held accountable for his actions. He ALLOWED the abuse to happen and did nothing to prevent it or alert authorities. He deserves what ever he gets. Unfortunately, athletes become role models and this sets a horrible example.
I agree with the person who said most serial killers start by torturing animals and laws do need to be changed in regards to animal rights. The whole situation is sickening.
THIS STORY ABOUT MICHAEL VICK AND THE DOG FIGHTING JUST SHOWS YOU HOW MANY SICK PEOPLE WE HAVE OUT THERE. JUST BECAUSE HE IS WITH THE ATLANTA FALCONS, SO WHAT!!! THAT SHOULDN'T GIVE HIM A LEANER SENTENCE IN THIS HORRIBLE CRIME. LIKE I ALWAYS SAY, AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN, LET THE PUNISHMENT FIT THE CRIME. I'M NOT A HEARTLESS PERSON, BUT IF I SAW HIM LAYING IN THE STREET AND NEEDING HELP, KNOWING WHAT HE'S DONE, HE COULD LAY THERE UNTIL PIGS FLY BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN HELPING THE ANIMALS THAT NEED OUR HELP. THIS GUY MAKES ALOT OF MONEY AND HAS NOTHING BETTER TO DO WITH HIS TIME THAN ABUSE ANIMALS WITH THESE FIGHTS. I DON'T EVEN BELIEVE IN HORSE RACING AND I WON'T GO TO THE TRACK BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE THE HORSES SHOULD HAVE TO RUN FOR US TO MAKE MONEY. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS WHO SHOULD BE TREATED WITH LOVE AND KINDNESS AND NOT HAVE TO SUFFER BECAUSE OF US. MICHAEL VICK SHOULD GET THE MAXIMUM PUNISHMENT WHATEVER IT MAY BE. NO SPECIAL TREATMENT BECAUSE HE IS A PRO FOOTBALL PLAYER. HE SHOULD GROW UP AND ACT LIKE AN ADULT IF WANTS THE RESPECT. THANKS MARIA, LOVE YA GIRL. DENISE WORDEN, ANIMAL LOVER FOREVER

Animal fighting
The only good thing that can come out of this Vick situation is that it is made public and it will make more people aware of the cruelty that goes on in this country against poor defenseless animals. Being aware is the first step to doing something, the more people know the more help they will receive.

an eye for an eye
Hello Maria,
I find animal abuse and child abuse to be some of the worst crimes. I think that those abusers should have done to them what ever pain and torture they inflicted upon others. Therefore I think Michael Vick should be thrown bare assed into a pit of viscious dogs, so he knows what it feels like to be mauled.

Throw the book at him! Anyone who can do that to an animal must be a sicko! seriously- most mass murderers tortured animals when they were younger. we don't need people like that in our society. he should never get to play football again, he should be tortured to death!!!

Property???
Hi Maria,
Love your show and the work you do for animals.
It's apparant that laws need to be changed in this country with regard to animal cruelty. As long as our pets are considered property in the eyes of the law, the punishment when cruelty is inflicted on them will remain inconsequential and have little or no effect on preventing future occurances.

Dog Fighting
"Innocent until proven guilty"???? Give me a break! This guy is GUILTY!!!!! Perhaps he may get off easy because of his celebrity status but at least the dogs are in safe hands now. There is something terribly, terribly wrong in this world. There are so many people who have no compassion and who think that animals don't "feel" anything. WHERE and HOW did these people grow up. WHO the hell raised them????? That's where the fault lies, in my opinion. Parents teach their children to be kind to animals but somewhere the parents of today are failing. Animals are living, breathing, feeling creatures and should not be exploited by humans for money or entertainment. It's wrong!!!! Thank you, Maria, for speaking out for the animals who can't speak for themselves. Not enough people do. And remember......if you can hurt or torture an animal you most certainly can do it to a child - not that that should be the deciding factor. A life is a life!!!!!!!!!!!

Response to Mike
Right on Kyle.
Mike, you are right, a man is innocent until proven guilty. But if you think he's innocent, you are either extremely gullible or delusional. When he is found guilty he should receive the maximum punishment allowed by law (far too lenient), and thrown out of the NFL for good. Maybe when he gets out of prison he can try to get a 9 to 5 job like everybody else. Let's see how he likes it. You know what's really ludicrous about the whole thing. GOD has given this man a terrific physical talent, and how does he repay this gift, he destroys, hurts, etc. GOD's creatures. When he is found guilty, take away something he loves and earns millions for doing 4 months of work a year. Another thing, if you don't like others having opinions that differ from yours, maybe you should find another country. There are plenty of countries where people have the same opinion. Unfortunately, that's because if they voice a different opinion, they are silenced. Nobody is saying he don't deserve a fair trial. But when the verdict comes in (guilty), he should be made to suffer like the dogs that he made suffer. Unfortunately he won't, just like the punk (trying to be nice) on Long Island that did what he did to Maximus.

Michael Vick deserves what he gave
How dare this monster decide the fate of so many helpless creatures. Who gave him any right? I guess it takes a "real man" to torture and abuse animals each and everyday. To think that this is a "man" that children look up to and aspire to be. Sounds to me like he is prepping all the serial killers of tomorrow. He should be made an example of in front of the world to see. Did he not make enough money as a football star, that he needs to pray on those that have no ability to choose, in order to make more. I say not only do you suspend him, but i think he should be made an example of. We lock him in a cage with minimal food or water for a few years, cover him in water and electocute him. If what he was doing to those dogs wasn't so bad, then why would that present any problem. What, because he is a human being? NO he isn't a human being, he is a monster and to catagorize him with people like myself makes me sick. Throw the book at him!!!
Posted By: anonymous - Thursday, July 19th 2007 @ 1:26pm
Bottom Line
Vick is definitely innocent until proven guilty. God Bless America. However, government attorneys don't just hand out Federal Indictments on a hunch. To turn a blind eye towards Vick's involvement is as irresponsible as it is to suggest that he be jailed immediately. I agree, let the justice system handle this, but make no mistake---he is up to his eyeballs with his involvement.

To Maria
Maria,
I cannot begin to express my sympathy for these poor innocent animals. I am so outraged by this whole incident. This man is guilty as day, but because of his "celebrity" status, he will probably be let free. I think he should not only be REMOVED from the NFL, but he should do serious prison time. This is animal cruelty and it really bothers me how a lot of people don't see this. Too many times in the past we have these "celebrities" getting away with murder, literally. E.g. OJ Simpson, Jason Williams, and many more. We also have “celebrities” getting away with other things like drugs, rape, etc. e.g. Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant, Paris Hilton. THIS HAS GOT TO STOP. There has to be point where the “courts” or the “judge” draws the line. PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE. I don’t care if you’re a celebrity or not, if you do the crime you do the time. I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired, as Angela said. These “public figure” are supposed to be role models for kids, and they’re supposed to “perform” for families who watch them, and also fund their salaries. But most of the time, all they do is screw up, do illegal things, and They GET REWARDED FOR IT.
I just can’t believe that because of someone’s race, celebrity status, or because who they know, they can get away with murder, drugs, and rape. I was just reading the paper the other day and read about Sean Williams from BostonCollege and how he was found guilty of marijuana possession etc. AND THE NEW JERSEY NETS STILL DRAFTED HIM! A spokesman for the team babbled about how “allegations this… we’ll see about that... we have to make a right decision for the team...” A bunch of BS. I mean what kind of standard are these guys setting for kids? There’s not moral ethics being enforced here. IN FACT, THERE’S NOTHING BEING ENFORCED PERIOD! THESE PLAYERS GET REWARDED FOR THEIR WRONGDOING! When you think about it, this is what’s really going on. It’s a damn shame because it all comes down to what the players are doing for the team, which in return means more ticket sales = $$$$. Someone, whether it be a “politician” or a “public figure” or someone that can actually change or at least has the power to change what’s going on, not just talking about it, should do something!
Lastly, and I do apologize for my rambling but I am a college student and I really wanted to voice my opinion on this matter because I am sick and tired of people defending these pieces of trash, what about the money? Not for anything, why do these multi-millionaires still gamble? Michael Vick is worth at least $50 million $$$$ And he still has to gamble? The same goes for Alex Rodriguez, who is worth over $250 MILLION $$$$ and was still caught in an ILLEGAL GAMBLING RING.
THIS ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS:
HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH?
I know there’s a lot of steps that must be taken to improve the ethics and values in sports, as well as other areas, but I feel if we concentrate on the following, we would greatly improve the way celebrities and athletes act and conduct themselves.
1.) Salary. This is something that should be limited. These athletes shouldn’t be paid tremendous salaries for playing a sport. Nor should they be worshipped! They are just people throwing around a football, or a basketball, or whatever. We have to control the pay to athletes because they get TOO MUCH, TOO FAST and that’s what causes problems.
2.) The rules of conduct should be enforced greatly. They should even enforce certain laws more than others in some cases. It’s a disgrace how these people present themselves and SOMEONE, such as the CEO of the sports teams, or the CEO of the company sponsoring them, or even someone else, should do something about it.
I’ve said enough. I think you all know how I feel and what should be done. Thank you for reading this.

Response to "Mike"
I know my other comment probably didn't get posted as I was outraged by the ignorance as well as the incompetence of "Mike" who's article reads: "Defendant Vick" It should be changed to "PIECE OF TRASH VICK" Anyway, People like Mike should open up their eyes. They can't see the forest from the trees. It's because of people like you, "Mike" that we have murderers and rapists set free. So wake the hell up.
Oh yea, why don't you move out of the country, it'll be a better place for all of us : )

Suspend Michael Vick
Maria,
I am so sick and tired of seeing people within the public eye, such as celebrities and sport professionals get away with murder, cruelty to animals, drunk driving, to name a few. It just seems that no matter what opinion we voice, or the steps we take to try to make officials see that these people DO NOT deserve special treatment is unacceptable. What do we have laws for? Do these laws only apply to the average joe? I'm sick and tired of being, sick and tired. I just do not understand society today. They all need to pay for their mistakes, regardless of what their status is. I guess that we are the only ones that have to follow the laws. Thanks for letting me vent.

Maximus--the 2 yr.old pitbull and NFL Quarterback Michael Vick ....
Personally....Suspension alone is too good for this guy (Vick). Maybe a little JAIL time may be in stoor as well! Someone should tie his sorry butt to a tree and leave him in the hot Summer sun with no water, food, or any kind of comforts! AND....If "lighting his fire" is going a bit much, how about beating the @#$% out of him?
It's very devastating to see a poor, innocent animal suffer and die the way Maximus did! (Honestly, I kept praying that he makes it through. But....He's at least out of his pain now.)
Let's hope the petition gets into the right hands so that Michael Vick get the dose of justice he deserves!
Peace to Maximus. P

Defendent Vick
Actually, Mr. Vick has not been formally convicted of anything yet. How about we smarten up a little and hold off your unqualified judgment until he has his constitutionally awarded days in court. We have brave men and women around the world fighting and giving their lives for others to experience the same rights we are are so privileged to have. So it might be a nice idea to hold off on your silly petitions that are going to do nothing... If you don't like our justice system, move somewhere else and maybe their system might be more acceptable to you.

Michael Vick's actions
They should do to Michael Vick and his cohorts exactly what they did to those poor defenseless animals. He should be fired and they should throw his sorry ass in jail. Is he claiming innocence in all this-give me a break!

Does anyone really think something's going to be done about this atrocity?! He has celebrity status. Examples?
Paris Hilton - special treatment in jail

I CANNOT believe that someone could be so cruel -- I agree that if someone can do this to an innocent animal, WHAT would they do to an innocent child (or adult, for that matter!)? I can't imagine how that poor dog felt -- I get so upset when I even think about it.
Keep up the wonderful work you do for animals. As the "mom" of a "rescue" cat and a "rescue" guinea pig, I salute you!

MAXIMUS - OUTRAGE
Maria - First, thanks for all you do for the animals.
I couldn't beleive it when I heard this story. I should not be shocked any longer. There seems to be a huge amount of horrible people out there. The two years that this person would get for doing this crime is not nearly enough. This person needs to suffer as much, if not more than Maximus did. To think that someone could do something like this makes me sick. I had trouble with my PC on Monday night and decided to wait until Tuesday night to donate some money. I come home last night to hear the news that he died. I hope they offer a nice reward to make people who know anything report it. This person must be found and punished. If you know of anything we (you, listeners) could do to help, please pass it on.
Keep up the good work.
Steve

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!
I'd like to tie that person to a tree and set him/her on fire. People who harm animals like that usually turn out to be serial killers.
How sad, I actually cried myself to sleep last night after watching the late night news. I believe the people responsible should have the same injuries inflicted on them. The laws need to be restructured in maiming, torturing or killing an animal. Not enough is being done. We just had a similar incident in Wayne, NJ and the poor dog died after the rescuers and vets operated and tried to save this poor dog; only to die. At least these dogs died while in the care of a vet or rescuer and didn't die alone on the street. Something has to be done. I am actually going to contact my local law enforcement personnel and then also the state; and show these inhumane people who torture and abandon these animals that they will be hopefully tried and convicted. We have to speak out, because, unfortunately, these animals cannot speak for themselves. Phyllis
Posted By: Phyllis - Wednesday, July 18th 2007 @ 12:37pm
How Sad....
Every time I heard/see anything about this story, I get a lump in my throat and and my eyes burn.
I will never understand what is going on with these horrible people that prey on animals and children. They are cowards and weaklings with no hearts or souls. The thought of this poor pit bull hanging there not knowing whats coming next is...well it's really disturbing to say the least. I truly believe that we need harsher punishments for animal abusers. Isn't it obvious that if they can destroy a living breathing creature like this, they are capable of much more?!
I, as well as many others who listen, truly appreciate the things you do for our animal friends, Maria. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being such a valuable advocate for animals in need.
Now, being that I'm at work, there is no crying aloud. So I need to conclude this comment quickly before the waterworks begin.
Lets all be happy that this pitt bull is in doggie heaven with all of our beloved pets, peeing and pooping wherever they want, chewing on anything they like, eating everything in site and barking to their hearts content!
Peace, Love and ADOPT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The owner of this dog should feel the pain and suffering this poor innocent dog felt. I cannot understand how someone can be so cruel and heartless as to do something like that. This person must be caught and held responsible for their actions. Animals were not put on this earth to be hurt and abused. If the owner no longer wanted this dog why didn't they seek out an animal rescue agency for pit bulls so that a new home could have been found. It makes me sick and breaks my heart to hear about things like this happening.
Maria, continue the great work that you do on the Q and with finding homes for animals.

Challenge
Hi Maria,
I am writing to you because you are on the air right now. My next patient had to cancel due to the weather so I have this time available.
I listen to you every Monday and Wednesday - the other days I am out of the listening area and nowhere near a computer with a sound system, sorry - and I have an idea.
You can't help but notice that there are certain "classic" rock songs that are truly classic. There is a core of songs that I hear every day; this is not a complaint.
My idea is to offer a challenge to listeners to suggest a song that isn't played everyday. Perhaps the rule could be that the song couldn't have been played within the past six months. (I'm sure there's a data base that can be easily accessed for verification.)
I came up with this idea because this morning I heard two gems from a friend's home burned CD, that I am sure have not been played on the radio for twenty five years or more.
1. Marcella - The Beach Boys 2. Lady Eleanor - Lindisfarne.
(BTW, just in case you didn't know this, to put Linidsfarne in classic rock perspective: The mandolin player from Lindisfarne, Ray Jackson, was the "unidentified" mandolin player on Rod Stewart's EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY. This makes a great trivia question for serious rock music buffs. I wonder how many of your listeners know this)
Michael P. S. I don't know how to keep anything short.

OUTRAGE, NOT THE WORD!!!
Maria,
I just heard you mention about the dog tied to a tree and set on fire. I just held my head in my hands and could not believe that someone could be that cruel to do something like that to a helpless animal. People can't understand why I like pets more than some people. Now you know why. The punishment should fit the crime, do the same to him as he has done and lets see how he enjoys it. I'm all for the animals, I have 3 cats at home that I spoil to the max. They have everything they need and I make sure they get it. I carry a bat in my car all the time because the first time I see an animal locked up in a car in this heat or someone abusing an animal, my bat will go to good use. I thank you for caring for these animals as much as I do. I try to donate to the Linden Animal Shelter as much as I can. These animals need our help and they depend on us to get them a good home. I hope you continue to get these animals the homes they need. If I could, I would adopt them all, but I have an apartment and I'm lucky I can have the 3 cats I have now. Thanks Maria. I love Q104.3 and I listen everday at work and wherever I may be. Love to all the animals out there and find that bastard and set him on fire. Denise Worden

MAKES ME SICK!!!!!!!!!
NO WORDS CAN SHOW MY OUTRAGE ON THIS STORY REGARDING THE PIT BULL. ALL I CAN SAY AT LEAST HE DOES NOT HAVE TO SUFFER ANY MORE AND FROM HIS INJURIES.
AS FOR THE PERSON/ANIMAL THAT DID THIS I AGREE THEY SHOULD BE SET ON FIRE TO FEEL THE PAIN!!!
PEOPLE DO NOT GET IT REGARDING ANIMALS. I WATCH ANIMAL COPS AND EVERY STATE AND EVERY TOWN THERE ARE NASTY (BEING NICE ABOUT IT) PEOPLE WOULD CONTINUE TO ABUSE ANIMALS. NOT UNTIL OWNERS ARE HELD ACOUNTABLE FOR THERE ACTIONS LIKE TAKING A HUMAN LIFE THIS WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN.
SOME MAY SAY I'M TAKING IT TOO FAR! NOT REALLY IF YOUR ANIMALS ARE LIKE YOUR CHILDREN I'M NOT TAKING IT FAR ENOUGH.!!! I'M SO TIRED OF HEARING IT JUST A ANIMAL. GIVE ME A BREAK!!!
MARIA- YOU ROCK AND WITH YOUR GOOD HEART MAYBE SOMEONE WILL SEE THIS POSTING AND TAKE ACTION.!!!
Posted By: Donna - Wednesday, July 18th 2007 @ 9:59am
I am sad and outraged also
Anyone who could be so cruel to anyone should be shot!!!!!!!!!! No animals deserves to die that way. I hope they find who it is and I hope they end up in jail for a long time. I just hope the law has an appropriate sentence for such a cruel act.

Nassau-Suffolk Animal Hospital
My cat Myrna died on Sunday (she was nine), Needless to say I'm devastated. I took her to the Nassau-suffold Animal Hospital, they did all they could to save her. Turns out she had liver issues.
I'd like to thank them for their compassion. Her regular Vet is the Park Animal Hospital in Massepequa Park, they were fantastic too.
As sad as I feel, it is a comfort to know there are places like this that really do care. I wish Human doctors were as caring.

Cell Ohones on subway platforms
Can you imagine the people walking offthe platforms because they are busy chatting on the phone or getting on the wrong train on reacks that serve more than one line. I really think that they should be banned all together, People surrived without cell phones for years and the time has come to get rid of them again. Why do most people gave cells? are we that inportant that we need to be able to get in touch with at any given time?
While I am ranting here it is time to put a limit on the # of cars per household. I know of a person that own 7 cars one for each day of the week WTF you can only drive one at a time so why do you need more than 1 car?

Cell phones on subway stations
Hate to hear people talking on cells, no matter where they are. I'm not interested in what they are talking about or who they are talking. Boring, Boring, Boring. I can understand if its an emergeny, or some sales people must make that all important call, but just to call and gab, wait until you're alone and then you can yak all you want. Again, who cares. I also feel the same way about talking in restaurants, and disturbing other people. I think these people need to grow up.

We read the terrific article on you and your boy Carmine in the NY DAILY NEWS today.
However, we are a bit puzzled. Carmine is hardly a mutt.
Not not sure if anyone told you, that the adorable boy you adopted from the shelter- is a BOXER!
He is gorgeous and we are so happy you opted to adopt.
Many great animals are waiting for homes in the shelter- both purebred dogs like Carmine- and great mixed breeds/mutts.
Thx for saving a life- and setting a good example.

The Michael Vick reality show is coming to a TV near you
By MJD
A reality show is part of Vick's plan after being released from prison, and according to a Reuters article today, A&E and Spike TV are the best bets to land a Vick show.
I have no doubts that it will happen, but my hope is that it doesn't turn into the Michael Vick PR show. I don't want to see Vick posing for the cameras while volunteering at a soup kitchen, and I don't want the show to be all about all the wonderful things Vick is doing to rehab his image. Some of that will happen, I'm sure, and that's good, but that can't be the show's major focus. Vick can't control the message.
I want the truth. I want real access. I want a gritty hand-held shot of Vick leaning over the fence at a park, watching people play with their dogs, observing his internal struggle to jump the fence, kidnap a golden retriever, and choke it out.
Or maybe he should go the route of a practical joke show, like Howie Mandel in "Howie Do It." The twist here is that someone calls a local dog-walking service, and it's Vick who shows up to take Rover for a walk. Or someone takes their dog into the groomer's, and it's Vick standing there with a bottle of shampoo, a brush, and a mischevious grin.
Or maybe he could just serve as a giant scratching post/chew toy at the Westminster Dog Show. I don't know. I'm not a TV producer. I'm just an ideas man.
In all seriousness, whatever happens, I hope it works out for the best for Vick. And if, along the way, we got a glimpse of him as a real person, and got to observe a truly remorseful guy trying to get his life back on track, it could be a good thing for him and make for excellent television.
Congratulations on playing rock of truth.

SUNDAY 2010
Seems you were in the RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME..
I am sure those boys were overjoyed to see their pooch..
I wish I was still living in NJ, so I could give you a big hug!
If we lost our pooch my 2 lil' boys would be extremely upset and would hope someone out there was like YOU to care for him..
Have a great day Dennis!
p.s.
Hi Maria! Hope you had a nice weekend..
Lots of Boxer Hugs lix to CTBR from Wilki!

We All Missed You!
there on my lawn was a Beautiful Pit Bull which by the way makes me very nervous. I started taking to it in a very low and calm voice and the Dog came closer to me. I gave it some water from the hose and it drank like no tomorrow. Now i have just gotten back from the deli and i bought some roast beef that i was going
to have for lunch. I told the Dog to stay and i ran in the house to get the roast beef, we both sat on my stoop and ate the whole
entire pound of the nice and rare roast beef. All of a sudden this car goes by, stops, goes in reverse and pulls up infront of my house. A guy gets out with two little boys and both boys started
crying, I guess they were so happy that they found their Pet. The Father was just as happy and he wanted to know how in the name of God did i get the Dog to come over to me. I told him that i very nervous at first but after i gave the Dog some water he just stood by me. He told me that the Dog doesn't like Strangers and i replied by saying, I been attracting Dogs all of my life, Both two and four leged. He offered me $200.00 by which i would not accept. Nice story with a very Happy ending.
Thank you so much for speaking up for animals.
It is outrageous that Michael Vick has a job paying him millions after what he did to those poor animals. The NFL should be ashamed of themselves. Especially the Philadelphia Eagles.
The only positive thing to come out of this horrific story is the attention it has brought to dog fighting. The publicity, along with Michael Vick and the Humane Society's campaigns against dog fighting, may help save some dogs and other animals from this cruel fate. Whether or not Michael Vick is sincerely remorseful (how could he be), the end result will be that some dogs will be saved.
The cruelty of many in the human race is disgraceful. St. Francis Of Assisi so aptly said, "If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who deal likewise with their fellow men".
Anybody opposed to the idea of Michael Vick suffering and dying should realize that he's an insult to our race. Who gives a damn if he throws a ball around? There's a whole league of respectable people doing so, who can be positive role models for our nation's children. Holding him in any light of respect or admiration only contributes to a growing violent and nasty nature in all youths who look up to him.
Perhaps people don't realize just how terrible dogfighting is. Maybe instead of just petitions, we should find a way to teach people the ultimate suffering that all of the animals go through, outside of the ones who fight. Have you ever had a rash of dognappings in your area? People like Michael Vick steal people's pets because they are generally timid animals, then they disable them and use them as dummies for their fighting dogs to tear apart. Once the dog is done, they leave your pet to bleed to death.
Is football still more important than your family's sweet little puppy?
Just to add, I wonder if you bought that puppy. There's thousands in shelters that are sweeter, not prone to disease, and cheaper that actually depend on you to live.
I guess America doesn't realize how terrible they are, what with so much propaganda protecting us from what we could be doing. Did you know that Hitler used propaganda too? He killed approximately thirteen million people over six years. Did you know that in America, we murder ten million dogs EVERY SINGLE YEAR?
Ms. Milito, thank you for helping to call attention to the dogfighting problem with your blog.
I could not watch the interview,for I would probably have kicked my TV. I still do not think Micahel Vick should play any sport where our children look up to them as role models. As far as I am concerned he is a piece of garbage. To me it is saying it is ok to do any harm to an animal,you get a few months and a slap on the wrist, then get to do what you love play football. I know that there is a higher power. So he can whitewash what he did as long as he wants,but it will come back to him in other ways. Do unto others as you would have others do onto you.

I would love to see that one Sunday they would have " bring your
pet to the ballgame " Just like the NY Mets did at Shea. Let Vick look around and see just how many animals lovers there are in this world. Better yet, let Vick hand feed everyone of them.
Sam the Koala has died. Here is a link to the shelter's page.
They still need your help.
Welcome | Sam the Koala
If this link doesn't work, just type in Sam the Koala into your header for information.
you remain a Dirtbag. This guy Vick most likely when he was a kid, killed or just plain hurt so many cats and Dogs, I bet you.
The shame of it all is that in his pea of a brain, he did nothing
wrong. There are so many people out there just like him. In my
opinion, A person who hurts any animal in any way should be
treated in the same manner as if he/she hurt a Human Being.
I have no respect for this guy nor do i have any respect for anyone who harms an animal. All i know is that when i come across a situation and some s&%thead is beating or kicking an animal I GO CRAZY!!! Maria can back me up on this, right Maria?
I know my opinion about this man,but it breaks my heart to see that you can abuse an animal and really get away with it. I hope he never plays any sport where he makes a living at it. I do hope they ban him from Football. He forgets that he must meet his maker someday,and he will be held accountable for his actions. I can only wonder if he does this to an animal,what would he do to a humanbeing?
Just my own thoughts.

I heard your story regarding your dog and the projectile vomiting on the rug. I just want to commend you for being a lover of animals (dogs especially). I have 2 dogs of my own (golden retreiver and lab/shepherd mix) and 4 cats (including a maine coon).
My house is never really what you would call clean, as my dogs/cats - vomit/poop/pee etc. but I wouldn't trade in my guys for anything, I love them all!
Oh, I love my wife and kids too, especially since they tolerate my guys (LOL).
All the best to you, and thanks for sharing your love of animals!

A little reminder for all the animal lovers/Q-listeners...this Friday May 8th on the National Geographic Channel Cesar Milan devotes his show 'The Dog Whisperer' to puppy mills. He's an amazing person and I think it's great to have him lend his voice and share his insight. The inhumane treatment and barbaric conditions that goes on inside these puppy mills has to stop. The people that run them only care about the profit, not about the animals. We have to do what we can with the help of our elected officials to put an end to it. We have to be the voice for the thousands of pups that can't be heard. Let's all do our part before they're all silenced forever.
Thanks & take care everyone!
Keep up the great work you are doing for animals and keep on rocking!

thank you so much for your support
David,
I am very happy that the girls got their WISH of having a dog and I firmly believe EVERY dog deserves a caring, loving home..
Shelter Dog or NOT...
HOWEVER... As you may know, Millions of Shelter Dogs are put down each year and it would have been a more POSITIVE message to his girls and to our country, to BRING them to a shelter (YES, they are OLD enough now to understand what an Animal Shelter is and what goes on there) and choose one that would fit their needs and lifestyle.. Open their hearts and minds to "Animal Rescue".. With our economy in the toilet, families are surrending their beloved pets to shelters & it breaks a ton of hearts every day..
Again, they could have gotten 5 dogs with the STAFF in the White House that tends to all the beloved pets! Bo and then a rescue would have been ideal - who knows hopefully they will..
It is also time for parents to call the SHOTS..
I am raising 2 little men - 2 boys - ages are 5 and 2 and the word NO is USED here more than you can imagine..
AAhhhh... but parenting is another conversation.. lol
"But Daddy, I LOVE BO! We already know him, we like him, Im not allergic to him either, please DADDY" Fine, the public will have to live with it.
Vicki - I am with you & extremely disheartened that the Obama Family decided to take a dog as a "GIFT" from Sen. Kennedy..
Give me a flippin' break.. How convenient was that? It was all staged & easy for the Obama's to accept, leaving them in the clear to say "Oh, it was a gift from the Kennedy's how could we say NO?"
How about giving a poor Shelter Dog "Allergy Free" one at that, a GIFT of a NEW LIFE to live like a KING in the White House... They could have gotten 5 dogs with all the staff assisting their pets in the White House..
It just Kills me.. Another reason WHY I am happy I did NOT vote
for Obama.........
DOGS RULE and Maria ROCKS!

We all met at Abboccato’s where my family enjoyed an amazing three-course meal. We each had different entrees and they were all delicious! The appetizers and desserts were just perfect. The service was excellent – professional, attentive and friendly.
Next we walked down to the theater where we were thrilled to find out we had orchestra seats for ROCK Of AGES. The show was incredible! If you like rock you HAVE to see this show. I was shocked to realize I knew the words to all the songs – even to the songs that had not been my favorites back in the 80s. It’s just a part of you. Even our children, ages 23 and 20, enjoyed the show – they knew this music, as this is what we had on the radio while they were growing up.
Of course, there were some funny bits that you could only appreciate if you actually lived through the 80s. I’m talking tears-streaming-down-the-face hysterically funny! I couldn’t stop laughing!
The acting was terrific, the music was fabulous, the staging echoed some of the old rock videos, the writing was witty and funny, there was a happy ending – ROCK OF AGES was aces!
Thank you Maria and the Q!!! You are the BEST!!!

the Cat at her Deadbeat Boyfriend. You're correct when you said about them Riding my Bus, God help them because I would stop the Bus right in the middle of the Manhattan Bridge, Open the Doors and throw them both right off the Bridge and into the East River. But first I would give her a kick in that fat ass of hers. God forgive me, I was such a nice kid growing up. What have i become. LOL. Take good care Sue and Thanks again. And as for you Firefighter Anthony, you are my Friend for life and i don't even know you. But just seeing you giving that Dog CPR made me so proud of you. I promise you this Anthony and I'm not Kidding, If I ever hit Lotto you will be the first person I look up.
You will be set for life, Thanks for being you and May God Bless.
Hi Dennis!
I just read what you read in the NY Post, that did not make the news out here in the North West, yet I am sure it will..
UN-FREAKIN'-BELIEVABLE! I am shocked...
How dare she.........Made my stomach turn..........
That freak of a person should be ordered to work in an animal shelter and help find homeless animals a home for one year.. How dare she................Better yet, let's toss her off the
Empire State Building, how would she like it? ugg......
Lord help them if they ever end up on your bus!
P.S.
I used to live in NJ (born in raised) and have only been in Seattle for almost 2 years now.. Relocated for my husband's
job... However, totally miss my NJ & NY family & friends and
will head back in June - can't wait for some real pizza & bagels!
lol
Take care Dennis..

To be Honest, I could care less about either one of them. But I have a Problem with the Fact that the Woman picked up one of her two Cats and threw the poor Animal across the room at her Boy Friend. Thank the Lord the Cat wasn't injured, But what did that Animal feel being thrown like that. I bet it was scared to Death. No Charges are being filed because the Cat didn't get
hurt. So what does this mean? Are the courts telling people that it's alright to throw your Pet across the room or out a window as long as the Animal doesn't het hurt. GIVE ME A BREAK!!! What the Hell is wrong here, or is it me. Am i missing something???....
first of all just want to say hi!!!!
keep up the great work with the animal rescues!!! to tell the truth i sometimes prefer the company of a dog or cat or ferret to that of most people. animals have no AGENDA. they just want to be loved. god bless you and all of the animal friendly folks you work with!!!!
yours truely, nicola the rock & roll chef
It's so funny how when they go to doggie day care - they are DONE!!! and it is GOOD for them to run and use up all that energy!!!
Carmine looks great as always !!!!
New Jersey Boxer Rescue will be having a fundraiser -
selling SWEATERS with the American Flag in a few months -
The best part is they are FOR THE BIG GUYS!!!!!!!
When does Carmine get a new brother/sister?
LONG LIVE THE Q CREW..........................THE ONLY ROCK STATION LEFT IN NEW YORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yours truely, nicola the rock and roll chef....lmao!!!!
I have learned through time, practice, and school, to respect him and listen to him and correct him if he's wrong. We "discuss" things.
Language barriers... (?)
I had a real nice day at work today, Driving my Bus and enjoying
the Beautiful Weather. Not a single person gave me the Finger or called me a single curse word. It was indeed a Beautiful Day.
But that all came to an end once i viewed Maria's Web Page. All i saw was Michael Vicks name and found out he is getting out of Jail only to finish his time at home. Give me a break please!!!!!!.
He should finish up his time at the ASPCA learning how to treat
and take care of the Animals of this world. But no, just let him sit at home and live it up. Crap like this makes me go crazy. So let me thank you Maria for ending my day on a sour note. I will always love you for what you do and how much you care about our Beautiful Animals, But Michael Vick is a sore spot with me.
God Bless you Maria and all of your Loyal Listeners. Thankyou.
But that is the kind of day that was invented for people who don't know how to love, so they have to have a day dedicated to what they forget.
And, I'm sorry that you wrote about soured boyfriends, but just so you know New York loves you and we are far more intense and everlasting than any past memory that you may have, and we (plumbers, contractors, truck drivers and laborors who listen to you) send you roses and chocolate every day through our radios from our ears. The spirit of love - when it is felt through the music of rock is cosmically and infinately beyond any stupid holiday - oh and by the way have you ever noticed in New York, the day after a holiday you can always see remnants of that past holiday, (oh, x-mas with her dry trees, and halloween with her smashed pumpkins), well just the other day somewhere on Broadway I saw a pigeon eating some broken red and pink valentine candy, then i saw a squashed balloon that must have said something about love, but I couldn't see - the rubber tire smooshed it.
Anyway, my point is, the spirit of love that your listeners feel for you can never be smashed and eaten by a pigeon, can never be squashed and suffocated by a tire, because it was born out of the art of music and since you deliver it everyday (like a very cute pizza deliverer) you are better than any holiday, (except the fourth of July, I'm a softy for fireworks!) Anyway, XXXXXXOOOOO
Thanks for the kind words Sue, I try my best in life to do the right thing. You're correct when you said, " DOGS RULE " if i ever
it the big bucks every Dog on the Planet will have a loving home.
Take good care Sue and may God bless.
As for Dennis, you are a True Blue Gem - God Bless YOU.. You are a brave soul and we should all follow your lead.. Glad you are OKAY.. I have a 5 yr. old Brindle Boxer who I would do absolutely ANYTHING for.. Dogs Rule.. We are their VOICE!
Luv, Lix & Boxer Hugs!
how is Carmine? he is so adorable -
No doubt part boxer --
When do we see some more pictures of Carmine
it is BAD PEople --
A dog will react to the way it is raised !!!!
when you have an animal it should be treated as another child -
they need vet appts, food, to be groomed and to be exercised -
I am so tired of hearing people say - IT's just a DOG!!!
and while the economy is horrible - the first to go are the family pet ??? I just dont understand why there are so many breeders when the shelters are full ---
But what do I know?
upset I couldn't think straight. But as far as me getting hurt goes, If it's meant to be that I get blown away helping either a
person or an animal, Well like The Beatles said, " Let it be "......
Maybe I care a bit too much, But it's the way I'm made Colleen.
When I came home that day from work with a swollen right eye and two fat lips, My Wife said to me, What Happened? I told her
and she hit me right upside my head. She thinks I'm stupid and it's not just because I drive a Bus for a living, but it's also due to the fact that I'm always getting beat up trying to do the right thing. Ok, life goes on, Thanks again and you take good care.
This i have done so many times in my life and that is, come to the aid of an animal who was being abused. Today i was Driving
my Bus and stopped for a red light down on Canal Street right before the Manhattan Bridge. I didn't have any Passengers on the Bus at the time because i was going back to my Depot. Any
way i observed this guy kicking and dragging his Dog ( a small
bull Dog ) while he was talking on his cell phone. I opened the door and told him to stop, He told me to " shut the F*c* up ".....
I got out of the Bus and said, if you don't want the Dog just give it to me, but please just don't hurt it anymore. Well, to cut the story short, he tied the dog to a parking meter and came after me. I have a Fat upper Lup, a swollen right eye and a pair of broken glasses. I didn't get one punch in, but i still feel i did the right thing and I'll do it again. What gets me is that not one person came to my aid, no body cared enough to help me or the poor animal. I know, I should've called the Cops but i decided not to.
him---it's KEITH. If you don't like him, don't watch him! I don't like Bill O'Reilly so guess what--I don't watch him...seems so simple to me. And he's had problems with his co workers? How many jobs have you had???
Obama has always embraced both sides of his family and talked about both during his campaign. Did he not visit his dying white grandmother? She meant the world to him and he took precious time out from his campaign to be with her.
Yes, he was elected and everyone is kumbaya for now - but if whites think that there is true racial equality, just because we have an African-American president, then they are delusional. My daughter and her Teach For America colleagues are in the trenches everyday dealing with the results of racial inequality. It did not magically dispappear on Jan. 20th. We have not moved as much as you would like to think, but I do believe with awareness and work on everyone's part we will eventually get there.
I'm glad that you "...could care less what race he or anyone is." That's a start. Peace.
For a good article on the subject see this web site:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/jefferson/mixed/onedrop.html
I am just so impressed with President Obama (I love to say that) - his intelligence, critical thinking skill, calm demeanor, humility and steadfastness. It's nice to once again have a President who can put grammatically correct and coherent sentences together.
Oh - and that flub during the oath? Justice Roberts's fault - he was feeding Obama an incorrect line, so Obama stopped to give him a chance to correct himself. Roberts did not - hence the oath "do-over" in the WH on Wednesday. Read the papers, it's all there. Roberts misplaced the word faithfully. One would think the Chief Justice could get the 35 words of the oath right. Think again.
Thank You,
Janice Schiavo
Besides, Obama is not running the country alone--as far as I know we still have a House and Senate and he has a Cabinet of advisors.
Comment to Laura--they're called Anger Management classes, why don't you sign up for one?
People like Graham crack me up. It has been 8 years and they still cannot get over the 2000 election. The "stolen election" argument conveniently ignores the fact that when the various newspapers clamoring for a full recount got together and commissioned their own, under various counting scenarios, they found that Bush still would have won Florida! The ultimate irony is that the MoveOn! people can't seem to move on themselves beyond unadulterated hatred for all things Bush.
So Obama is set to become the next CEO of this Beautiful Country called America, I wish him all the luck in the world.
This guy is going to fix everything and indeed will do just that.
Obama will not fail, He can't fail, They won't let him fail, There is no way that America's first half African American President is going to go down in the History books as a Failure. The powers to be will make Damn sure Obama will be the greatest President
ever. Hey!!! so what, as long as he gets this country up and running again. God Bless America and everyone take good care.
Clem Skarzynski, good luck with the knee and i hope everything
works out for you. Any friend of Maria's is a friend of mine.
First, Bush did steal the election in 2000. And second, Obama received 365 electoral votes. Nuff said. Just follow "W" back to OZ where you both can pick up your brains. Respect is given when it is deserved Laura. Bush was the first president with an MBA, how's that working out for you? Oh and if Maria won't tell you I will..F you Laura.
Love hearing that you "love" animals!
Will you take me for a walk!? I don't have a leash,
but promise to stay close to you....
ALF
BY THE WAY???
Isn't there some kind of historical Presidential thingy going on this week?
I don't know you but i truly respect what you have done over the years. If my Angel Maria Milito says that you're the best well that's that. Also, To Clem and Family, Happy New Year and most of all a Healthy one. Just to share this with people who give a crap, I almost ran over a NYC Cop with my Bus on Friday down
on Canal Street. Let me tell you that the reason i almost ran her over was because she was alittle bit taller than a fire hydrant. Her gun belt was hitting the ground while she was walking across
the street. I bet you she had to buy her uniform @ toys r us, that is just how small she was. Just another day in the life of a NYC Bus Driver.
I don't really care too much; I was just wondering if there was a joke in there that went over my head or something.

Maria, Good luck to the Cop in the Family, he will be just fine.
Good looking young fellow, reminded me of myself when i wore the same Blue uniform many years ago. Police Officer Milito will be Chief Of Patrol when you and i are having wheelchair races in a few years from now. LOL. Don't forget to play his Shield number.
Carmine is sooooooooooooooo freaking CUTE!!!

I am sure he will have a great holiday !!!

taken back when i saw that post posted. But now that we on the topic of you, let this be known for every one of your fans to read.
I do not want to Bang you, I would like very much to make Love with you. I would like to hold your hand, put my arms around you, hold you tight, listen to your beautiful voice, show you all the RESPECT there is to show, and treat you like a lady. So now that my Wife just read this and is now getting out the chain saw,
I want to wish all of your loyal listeners a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year. Here she comes with the chain saw

person who truly needed your help. Like i said many of times before, This world is a better place with you here ( in one piece )
to make people happy with the Music you play and the things that you do for the Beautiful animals of this world. I mean it!!!....
I agree with Clem, It's Christmas time. Not Holiday time. When i put on that red suit and perform Santa for people, I don't shout
out " HAPPY HOLIDAY " I shout out " MERRY CHRISTMAS " and that's just what it is Christmas. There's no changing it for me.
And i do 100% agree with Zarko, I too miss Alison Steele. She was great, " THE NIGHTBYRD " Wow! I'll never forget her, never.
Be safe out there and may God bless and watch over all of us.
I met you a few years back at a Moody Blue's concert in Holmdel.. I am sure you rememeber little insignificant me...:)..
Anyway, just wanted to say I had my computer on all Thanksgiving weekend listening to the countdown.. It was great !!! I had these bose speakers cranking..
Thanks to you and the rest of the gang for putting this all together.. Would have liked to have seen "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" in top 10. But basically, I agreed with the list..
Marilyn
P. S. Did I miss Billy Don't Be a Hero??? lol
I was just talking to a friend about the purchase of a dog coat. I think that Lands End has a much better choice. It is a combo of water-proof on the outside and fleece lining. Around the neck it has a velcro and velcro strap under the chest.
My dog had very short fur(weimaraner) and it always seem to keep him warm. I hope you will check it out before you make your choice.
when i got home and visited this web-site, I JUMPED FOR JOY.
After reading Chris' comment about Michael ( Dirtbag ) Vick, I forgot all about my rotten day, I took a Shower, Said Good night
to my two Dogs ( Rosie and Stinky ) and attacked the Wife!!!.....
We haven't had Sex in over two years, THANKYOU CHRIS, NJ.
Michael Vick lives in a prison in Kansas, making 12 cents an hour while plotting his return to the NFL. His houses and farms will soon be gone, the two yachts are history, and he’s down to his last couple of Range Rovers.
A race horse he bought for $60,000 died of colic, the Atlanta Falcons are still trying to hit him up for millions they paid him, and the IRS and the state of Georgia want nearly $1 million in back taxes.
In 2006 he made nearly $15 million. Recently he reported total income of $12.89 for an entire month.
That’s $12.89 as in 12 dollars and 89 cents. This from someone who, before things went terribly bad, categorized a $1,000 check to his mother as “chump change.”
The numbers are cold, but they have to warm the heart of any animal lover sickened by what once went on at Vick’s Bad Newz Kennels. To many, seeing Vick stripped of the material things he and his fellow millionaire athletes like to enjoy is almost as good as watching him go to prison in the first placeBest of all, the dogs who survived the terror of Vick’s dogfighting ring are having the last laugh.
They’re the stars of a recent National Geographic Channel television special. They live in comfort in a Utah ranch, thanks to $928,000 Vick agreed to contribute to finance their care.
And now they have their own wine.
Yes, there’s Meryl, looking anything but ferocious on a bottle of Syrah. And there’s Lewis, peeking out from the front of another Vicktory Dog bottle.

But then, I don't understand people. There is a stray white cat in my neighborhood and my neighbor made it a point to tell me not to feed it.
Yeah, right. Of course I am feeding him, should I watch him starve to death? I know the owner of a no kill shelter here, so we will try to catch him and get him neutered and perhaps he can be adopted out.
Thanks Maria for being such a good friend to the animals.
Too bad there are not more dogs in offices instead of people -
the world would be a happier place -!
I for one believe President elect Obama will be good for america.
But it got me upset just how many people voted for him simply
because of the color of his skin, and incase you don't know, he's
half white but you don't hear too much about that fact. I was brought up to like and respect everyone no matter what the color of a person's skin is, and i thank both my parents for drilling this into me. Maria, i read laura's posting and she does have the right to feel the way she does, you don't have to sleep with her,
so don't let it get to you. Besides i bet Laura's a very nice person
and she just don't agree with the subject of the president elect.
So lets see where he takes us in the next four years. Thankyou.
What's up with that previous post from Laura??? Obama and Biden are "a couple of racists" --HUH?? Haven't heard that one before...
How can we get the rest of the United States to acknowledge that animals everywhere are doing carnivores a BIG ASS favor by giving up their lives for consumption...the least humans can do is let the animals live peacefully and happily until they are slaughtered. Trust me if there were a picture of the animal attached to every pack of meat or fast food hamburger people would have to acknowledge that that animal was unique and alive.
Anyhow if anyone knows how to get us animal lovin' Americans involved in passing legislation all over the USA please count me in...Our slaughterhouses are traumatizing and sooo inhumane...both the majority of workers in them and the horrible conditions.
Maria please keep making people aware that animals are living creatures and deserve respect just as much as humans :')
Peace.
It's a good thing there is internet radio so I don't have to subject myself to listening to your annoying partisan politics. I know you don't explicitly say so, but I get the distinct impression that you would not have played a Beatle block to celebrate a McCain victory. I will no longer be listening to you or your station.

Hello, if any of your baseball fan fans happen to be around the research library on 5th between 41st and 42nd street (the one with the two lions) I highly recommend a trip up to the third floor (only on display until the 26th of Oct.) there is a hallway display of some old Yankee photographs from Babe Ruth to the present players, the photos are really striking. It's worth the free trip!
I am a Phillie fan so I know the misery of loosing seasons...I must comment on a few things...first Girardi can't be judged by this year..He was a manager of the year with Florida(2006)..a bunch of no-named players that play the game..I feel the Yankees have a bunch of players that collect pay checks...Bobby Abreau is one...good offensive stats but not a go to guy...A-Rod the same way...What did he do in Seattle when they were in the playoffs??? Nada...too many big salaries with no return..
As for the Mets...this collapse is actually from game 7 vs the Cardinals in 2006....I feel Omar got too many guys similar to the Yankees....They need to keep Wright and Jose Reyes...but Reyes needs to play baseball and forget about his happy dancing on the sidelines.. a talented ballplayer that needs to play and concentrate on setting the stage for scoring runs...Omar should be under the microscope big time...afterall he was a GM for a team that was owned by major league baseball...
Last year Jimmy Rollins said the Phillies were the team to beat...and they won
this year if I recall...didn't Carlos Beltran state we got Johan, so Jimmy we are the team to beat???..at least you should have been the wild-card team..The Brewers were falling and replaced their manager with 15 games left..you kidding me...you manage 147 games and get canned....sounds like a page off Lou Lamariello's book on ownership...
And in LA...Joe Torre gets his nemesis(Manny) and they make the playoffs...
Francona looses Manny and Boston still gets in....go figure..
You should have your fans play in a baseball game of their own: Met fans vs. Yankee fans (so if they were your fans, it would be a fan of a fan's game) and they could get their frustrations out that way, and all the fancy pants people who think they know so much about baseball - well you could really see (not you, Maria) but one could see who knows how to play - because it's one thing to comment on a game and its another thing to be able to play in a game. But life is a game so we are playing whether we signed up or not. Happy playing.
The Yankees were going great guns in the late 90s - right up to the bottom of the ninth in the seventh game of the 2001 World Series.
Just about that time it was announced that a new Yankee Stadium would be built and the most famous sports venue in the western hemisphere would be demolished. This was called progress - fewer seats, more big ticket luxury boxes, screw the fact that we'd no longer be able to point to where Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Bernie Williams, Thurman Munson, etc., etc., once played. The House that Ruth Built was being torn down so that George Steinbrenner could built the House that George Built - a monument to himself!
My theory is that once the destruction of Yankee Stadium was decided the Curse was lifted! By disrespecting the memory of Babe Ruth and all the other wonderful players who made it such a magical place, the ghosts were angered and it opened the portal to allow the Red Sox to win!! (not once, but twice!!) The Yankee powers that be are gonna have to do something spectacular to make up for this major blunder!
BTW - I've followed the Yankees since 1961! I cheer for the Mets, too, but not if they're playing the Yankees.
Sunday I kept switching between the Mets and Yankees games to watch Mike Mussina (who will be missed!) win # 20 and to see the Mets clinch the Wild Card. I got half my wish!
Sence?
The All-Cashman team: SP Kevin Brown, Jaret Wright, Carl Pavano (and conspicuously, no Johan Santana, because Hughes is the obvious new Bob Gibson, right?)
Others to name a few: Richie Sexson, Pudge Rodriguez, etc. etc. etc.
Sure, he made a few good signings along the way, but throwing that kind of money around, you can't help but stumble upon a few decent moves.
The Yankees better re-up their membership at the country club my firend, because i predict a whole hell of a lot of golf in the future...
Tell them it's the last week of the season...
PAT
Willy the way they did, and they showed no class at all on the last day at Shea. One would think that the Met organization
would've said thankyou to the fans at the end of the program.
Every Met past and present including the top brass should've
been on the field waving and saying Thankyou to the fans for
all their support over the years. I was very happy to see the old
timers out there and i say thankyou to them and may God bless.
Today i pulled my Bus over on Queens Blvd. (Queens Center )
and bought myself a Dodger hat. I will follow the one person
who has a lot of class and is a true Gentleman, Joe Torre.
You're all losers!!. Neither one of your teams is in the playoffs.
Now you can watch real teams play ball.
At least the Mets were in it til the end!
So, as you can imagine I understand how the Mets fans feel, Jets haven't won a superbowl since 1969. I stopped watching the Yankees several weeks ago, it was too painful to watch, and I agree with "Yankee Hater" Gerardi does suck, big time.
Thank God for football season. I won't even be watching the World Series this year!! Go Jets, Go Brett!!!
Get your facts straight buddy.
SO WHAT!!!...The Mets had a better record than the Yankees, CONGRATULATIONS, YOU STILL DIDN'T MAKE THE PLAYOFFS, SO ALL THE GAMES YOU WON MEAN NOTHING, your still not playing baseball in October. The METS are a joke, have been for years and always will be, you guys are like the middle child of NEW YORK sports teams, no one every pays attention to you and you are always left out...just like the playoffs. You had the greatest collapse in the MLB, not one, but two straight years in a row. Hey for those of you caring about a record, how about most games lost in the month of September, now thats an achievement. Keep swinging METS and MET fans, maybe one day you can live up to your big brother THE YANKEES.
The Yankees are an overpaid bunch of primadonnas with no heart and soul (especially A-hole). They stunk it up pretty good this year. I am a Mets fan but I have to tell you that I can't defend them either. Their bullpen sucked and to blame a manager (and firing him) for them losing is outright wrong for both teams. They all get paid way too much to place blame on everyone else but themselves. Go out there, play the game with some guts and earn the money you are so overpaid to do.
p.s. yankee fan. change your diaper
GO RED SOX !!!!!!
You should consider yourselves lucky that you are getting a new field, as it seems this one doesn't have that "Yankee Magic" it once had.
Oh, and the best thing the Red Sox did was get rid of Johnny Damon. Nice arm.
Go Sox!!
none one of the mets could carry any of the yankee jockstraps.....
I hope for Yankee fans sake that your new stadium is done by opening day, or you will really see what a B**ch Karma can be.
u have the HIGHEST PAYROLE in baseball and STILL suk...
i hated willie being the manager 'cause he was a yankee...
u guys took gooden, darryl, etc. and still suk...
steinbrenner is an ass wipe and so r u
i'll never forget the very first time kathy and myself met clarice at the p.n.c.bank arts center..oh yeah..thats when we met her mommy too!!and that was a long time ago..we were so proud to become clarice's honorary aunt and uncle..we enjoyed sending her her "goodie bags",even though her "mom" kept telling us we should'nt spoil her!!but we could'nt help it..yeah..we miss her too..like we miss our "cleo"..they were sweethearts..but they're always in our hearts...and we love the pics and updates of carmine!!yup,we move on with those memories..thats what makes it all worthwhile..having that unconditional love our pets have for us..now thats therapy!!youre doin a great job with the big ragu..we love him just as much as we did clarice...keep sending the pics and updates..all our love..clem and kathy skarzynski...parlin,n.j.
LOVE THE STEVIE NICKS LUNCH BLOCK!!!!
What da ya think??
Or maybe catwoman?
That song was released in 1971 and I HAVE NEVER HEARD IT ON THE RADIO!
I had chosen that song as my classic song in the VP of Programming contest, but changed it to Pink Floyd's "One of These Days" because I won $104.00 using that song in the Hampton's House contest.
Now I'm considering changing back to 20th Century Man now that I know it can be played on commerical radio!
Thank You Maria and God Save The Kinks!
Not just a Cat, but a beautiful animal that top the scale @ 7 LBS.
This tuff guy beat and kicked this Cat to death all because the cat received more love from it's owner than he did. I read that
this Butt Hole even stated to his Girlfriend, " You love this Cat more than me " and when his Girlfriend left her apartment, He killed it. The sad thing is the Cat didn't die right away, it suffered
for awhile and made it's way to another room and died. He can
receive up to two years in Jail if convicted, that will never happen.
But i pray to God that it does happen and this Jerk gets to share
the same cell with the other Jerk Michael Vick. Together they can
take turns washing each others backs or back sides and take turns dropping the soap. They can become a$$h#le buddies.
I'm sorry, I'm going off again, I just go crazy when it comes to
hurting Animals. I ran over a Duck a few years back with my Bus
on the FDR Drive and I took a week off because I was so upset with myself. Still till this day I would love to know where this Duck
came from. God bless you Maria and all of your listeners too.
HI MARIA IT WAS SO MUCH FUN @ LAST YEARS HALLOWEEN PARADE WITH OUR VINTAGE VW DRESSED UP AS THE GHOST

Hey John Union, I'm glad i made you laugh alittle concerning
Michael Vicks Butt. Maybe by now he can fit a foot ball up there.
Oh Oh here i go again, sorry Maria I have more class than this.
It's just that when i hear that name i become someone else. Do you know i had to stop using Vicks medicated rub because of the name. I even stopped taking Vicks cough drops, what a shame.
Dear Evelyn, No i missed that program about those animals. But
i'm sure they will have it on again in the future. I will make it my
business to watch it. Well time to give my Dogs their Baths, Bye.
Dennis The Bus Driver, I hope you caught that show! I hate MV like you do and it made me so happy to see those poor dogs getting another chance. DTBD, I feel so bad that your job is so stressful- I would like to send you one of my dog prints (complementary) to cheer you up while working.......they are 8 1/2" x 11" and so you could carry it with you while you drive (in a notebook or some other thing you must have on the bus). I don't know if it's permitted to say my website on this message board, but I don't know how else to reach you......you can send me an email through the website, telling me which print you'd like.........maybe a Multidog which has 12 breeds on it...............www.topdogart.com. Hope this gets approved.
xoxo
PS - Got a good laugh at Dennis' comment about Vick dropping the soap...LMAO!
Keep on Rockin'!
just about every truck and car with New Jersey plates cut me off big time along Canal Street, I just about want to hang myself.
Now after going on Maria's web-site and after reading Vickie's
posting concerning Vicks Dogs, I feel a lot better knowing some
of those poor animals are doing well. But i get very upset just
hearing that Dirtbags name. I hate that freaking name and i hate him. Sorry but i hope that his butt is so wide from dropping
the soap that he has to wear pampers for the rest of his life.
I'm truly sorry Maria and Vickie, I have more class than this, but i lose control when i hear his name.
It was pretty graphic showing video footage of dog fights. It made me cry to see this. It never seems to amaze me at how cruel people can be. On a good note, most of the dogs rescued were spared a death sentence. The ASPCA contracted a group fro California that works with pit bulls to review each dog and decide if they were adoptable. Thankfully the majority were and have been either adopted or sent to sanctuaries to live out the rest of their lives in peace. I just hope dog fighting will eventually become a thing of the past.
My name is Jim Day, owner of Fantasy Football Whiz.com. About a month ago you played a work force block for me (again thanks for that), and while saying the name of my company, one of your assistants laughed at the name (lol, I do get that all the time). I posted on your message board that I would love to challenge him to a league.
After thinking about it further, I wanted to see if I could interest you in maybe putting together a league with a combination of my subscribers and your listeners. Most leagues are usually 12 teams, so I would 6 of your listeners versus 5 of my subscribers and myself.
I would love to do it as a cross promotional league. If one of your listeners win I will make a contribution to the animal charity of your choice and a nice toy for CTBR.
Please let me know if this might be something we can put together.
Thanks,
Jim
I was real bummed to hear that Bob was leaving!! I heard the suits forced in out in a cost cutting move. Whether thats true or not it wouldn't surprise me.
Its been a little strange at the Q beginning last holiday season
with the end of the on-air 'Charity begins at home' drive. That
really made the holidays special every year and I was sorry
to see it go. Now with Bob gone, its not the same old Q, and
I'm not real happy about that. I guess that's what 'they'
call progress. To me these are ill-advised changes.
On a positive note I'm real happy to hear more 'back wall' stuff
with the 3 at 3 and through regular programming. Now thats
real positive change.
Great show...take care,Jeff
Maria,
I'm so sorry about the passing of your aunt. It seems like it's been a trying week for you. How sweet that CTBG gave your aunt such love and affection and how she kept talking about him! Dogs Rule!!
Take care and I hope things start to get back to "normal".
Mary

So the bottom line is, you are just plain tired. I put up with crap
from people all day long and there are plenty of times i too feel
like sceaming. Please hang in there because people like me need you very much. I'm sure everyone of your listeners will agree with me. God bless and stay the Beautiful person you are.
A man in Greece got into an argument with his significant other then decapitated her dog, then proceeded to decapitate her. So the question is which one is more wrong to have done?
Is killing a person more wrong then killing an animal? Or does it just depend on the animal, if it was a cow would anyone care?
CONEYISLAND ASTROLAND AUG.3 THIS MAYBE THE LAST ROCK

Thanks so much for caring enough to tell me to calm down.
The truth is I don't hate anyone, But I get so upset when it comes down to someone hurting animals. " I LOVE DOGS" When
I find myself getting upset I truly do meditate, but right after that I head right to Mickey D'S where I eat like a pig and get upset again because I ate so darn much. I can't win Evelyn.
But anyway, take good care and thank the Lord for someone as Beautiful as Maria. Life is worth eveything just to hear her voice.
Thank you Evelyn for saying that so well. All things in the universe, animate and inanimate are truly connected. As a global community we can make a difference by consciously trying to exude good, positive thoughts and feelings and by sharing of ourselves in any way we can. Dogs and other pet are a gift to us. We need to appreciate them and all else that's good in our lives. This world can and will be a better place if we do this.
Thank you Maria for providing this place for us to share our thoughts and dreams.
On another note: CBTR, poor thing, looks so forlorn in the last pic you posted. He'll be back to his old self in no time. It's the best thing for him. Dog rescuers often get dogs with tumors because they hadn't been spayed/neutered. Kudos for showing a great example not just with this but all you do here.
Thank you!
JP
Dennis The Bus Driver (my hero), please try not to get too caught up in being angry at the dirtbags like Vick.............we are entering a time of Universal energy change when karma really will happen at a faster rate. This is confirmed by the Hopi Indian predictions, and American Indians truly did live in harmony with nature until their civilizations were disrupted.
If we focus on seeing/visualizing/creating the positive (this does not mean we ignore the scumbag animal abusers), we can truly have an effect on this chaotic sad world. Deep breathe, meditate, do whatever gets you to that place of connectedness. We are all one.
The power of the pack (as Cesar Millan would say).
Hi Maria,
Glad to hear everything went well. He should be up and about in no time. I remember when I had my two kitties spayed they had to wear the collar too, for 10 days! What a pain. Whenever they ate I had to make sure the collar was turned the right way and I had to keep it clean. But, you do what you have to do for their own well being. Take care of that little guy and stay well.
P.S. Rev Jesse Jackson didn't have anything to do with this did he?.......just asking.
Since I have (had -one has since passed) three of my own, I found a permanent home for Max who is now fully recovered and happy. He will be visiting for a week so his new Mom and Dad can enjoy their vacation and he can see his cousins, Suzie, Ezmeralda and Benjamin!
Good luck with the helmet - you may want to take it off while you watch him eat or when you sit with him. As long as you're watching him...
I was glad to read about The Dirtbag going broke. I forgot all about my stressful day and any other problems I might have in my boring life at this time. I'm so happy I visited your web-site.
The sad thing is once Vick gets out of the big house he will start
making lots of money again. Some football team will give him a chance and before you know it, He's back making millions again.
Everyone deserves a second chance, BUT NOT THIS ASSH$#E!!!!
Anyone who hurts an animal, any kind of animal should be sent
right to jail. God bless the good people of this sick world.
Us Monmouth County Jersey Girl's are requesting you play a tune from our home town boy ... The Boss !
Red Bank is honored that Q104.3 will be hosting our Red Bank Kaboom Fireworks ! Bravo in advance !
" Jersey Girl in Red Bank "
I like to compare dogs behavior to people's behavior. And, say two dogs fall in love and get married, have babies, buy a car, some books and a boat (perhaps a kite and a pair of skiis). They live a good dog's life. The little puppies are happy, especially at the start of this summer vacation. And the mama dog works hard to provide the pup pups a good life, and the papa pup, too, but then things start to get a little windy, so the little pups (being the smart animals they are) say hey, it's windy, so let's make good use of the wind and fly the kite. Let's be like Ben Franklin and learn from the wind!
Of course all the other pups of the neighborhood come over to hang out and what a scene! What a beautiful site, there are bunches of little puppies flying the kites on this windy day, of course the pups know what to do if it gets windy, you make use of the wind. One pup even suggests to put a sail on their skateboard and with the wind and the sail, the pups have the time of their lives, with the wind, the boards, the kites. Never has this American town seen so much puppy excitement, for it was a great town of dogs, all types of breeds from pugs, to pups to poodles. But I think this particular pup family was like the benji kind of mut dog from the movie Annie.
Oh, so what do you know the father dog (no relation to Daddie Warbucks but as I write I wonder) the father dog changes his mind and sees the wind as a detriment to "HIS" well being and decides to bring in the kites, the boards all the toys and calls it quits, decides that he wants a divorce from the family. So, he calls his lawyer and the divorce papers come flying down and the mama pup is shocked with fragments of tears. And, now everyone gets so sad, but thanks to the gods of metaphorical writing, we think how this would never happen because dogs would never call lawyers, only people need lawyers. God, I wish I was a dog.
Perfect "rehab" for a criminal.
xoxoxo
right out of his ass. I would love to hear or read about it in the near future.
Do you have a service or product that you can donate to an animal welfare fundraiser? Even if items like jewelry are gently used, they can raise $$$ for the cause. Look around your house for things you really don't need anymore but could do such good.
Call your local shelter, google various phrases related to rescue (i.e. no kill shelter + your area.......or.... animal rescue fundraiser + your area). There are tons of wonderful volunteers organizing these events- it just takes a bit of intelligent research. Even if you can't volunteer on a regular basis, maybe a onetime event is possible.
And if you've got the time or can't find the right event in your area, why not organize one? I guarantee it will be a most soul-satisfying experience. And........it's a great way to meet other like-minded people if you're single!
Animal people are GOOD people................for all you Maria fans and listeners- why not follow her good example and give of yourselves for those that cannot speak? They give so much back in return.
I rest my case..........WOOOOOOFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!
In any case, here is what I can share re the sad surrender of animals due to foreclosure or natural disasters (today's NY Times told of the poor people with multiple dogs living in cars after the Iowa floods).........many of these people have brought their animals to regular shelters as a last resort- regular animal shelters must euthanize the animals that are not rescued after weeks, typically.
One alternative would be to google specific breed rescue groups in your area (i.e. Boxer dog rescue Western Long Island). Specific breed rescue groups usually are volunteer staffed, and have a network of foster homes for dogs until they are placed in new homes. You can also find specific breed rescue groups in your area by going through Petfinder.com. And some of these purebred rescue groups accept mixed breeds as well.
More and more, I am being contacted by no-kill shelters and organizations..............sometimes these groups work with the regular animal shelters to take the animals who are on death row. Call the regular shelters in your area and ask if they work with any no-kill rescue groups. This is where the mixed-breed dogs can be found. Mixed-breed dogs are typically genetically prone to fewer health problems than purebreds.
Lastly, if you do rescue an animal who has not been spayed/neutered, PLEASE DO SO ASAP!!! Your animal will be healthier and have a better temperament as well. And if you can't have an animal, consider volunteering for a rescue group other than the local shelter.
If you can't take your animal why don't you look into rehabilitation hospitals? Animals can give so much love to people who are there, especially if they have to be there for a considerable amount of time. Also, animals are such good company, especially for the elderly. Just consider this before sending to a shelter. You might be doing alot of good for someone who needs the love.
Maria,
We second the motion that The PURRfect Kitty in Plainview is the best shelter around if you are interested in adopting a kitty!
It is a beautiful place run by wonderful people. We adopted a male kitty there and are thrilled with him and so is our little girl kitty! They are the best of friends!!
Larry and Michele
Very Cool that you gave a shout out for
The PURRfect KITTY Shelter in Plainview.
It's such an amazing shelter... in a class by itself!
We recently adopted from there and I recommend
this place to everyone who is looking to adopt a
kitty or two! Kudos to Maria and The PURRfect KITTY!
John & Pattie
George Carlin,
REST IN PEACE.
Thank you and Q104.3 for picking my Kink's song this morning. It pays to be a Workforce member.
Also, a quick comment of the Tom Petty and Steve Winwood concert last night at the Prudential Center. This was my first time at the Pru. The sound was awesome in the arena. Great place to see a show. Tom Petty and Heartbreakers were better than ever and looking just fine. Steve Winwood was fabulous. A great show and Tom always keeps his ticket prices affordable for all his fans.
Thanks again, Laura
He's become a young man- filled out and without that winsome little boy look anymore.............I'll miss seeing it (as I'm sure you will), but he's got many more doggy stages to go through and I'll look forward to seeing those.

this world is full of Dirtbags. Maria, God bless you my friend.
Hey Maria... just stopped in to say what a cute picture of CTBR. What a ham as we say...
You are a guardian angel for dogs- maybe you can start up a chapter of volunteers called Angels For Angels- kind of like the guardian angels, but for helping dogs. That would get you on Oprah for sure.....................................GO HERO.................keep up the good work!!!!!
xoxoxo
a huge hug comes your way from NC!!!
Maybe Maria wants to be a part-time stage Mommy for you? :>)))
The last pic was a beauty. I am dying to smooch the pooch!

Just incase the person who i caught kicking his Dog yesterday views this web-site, If i ever see you again walking along Astoria Blvd. and observe you kicking your Dog again, I will again get out of my car and kick your sorry ass up and down the Blvd.
I will even go so far as to have your sorry ass locked up. To all of Maria's loyal fans, I was driving home after driving my Bus all
day when i came across this dirtbag kicking his Dog for whatever
reason yesterday on 104 street and Astoria blvd. over in Jackson Heights Queens. I pulled over and said to this guy stop kicking the Dog. He replied by saying Fu-k you mind your own Business.
He also stated that he would kick my ass if i didn't get lost.
So after taking all sorts of crap from people all day and dealing
with traffic and the rain, I said here is where i get to release the stress of the day, It was short and sweet and i was proud of what i did. I only wished the Dog knew that i was trying to help and not trying to become it's Dinner. The Dog kept trying to get at me but the guy tied the Dog to a tree before he and i went at it.
Just wanted to share this story with all of you out there. Bye.
ASTROLAND NEXT SUN.MAY18 @4PM FOR A ROCKNROLL
PERFORMANCE TO START THE SUMMER
WWW.MYSPACE.COM/MYSTICALCHILDREN
I HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE
I gave up on Idol after Bo Bice got hosed in that vote to the pretty girl...nothing against Carrie Underwood, but she didn't need the contract, some country producer would have signed her anyway. Simon was right a few weeks ago, fans vote on who's the hottest, not necessarily who's the best.
I watched a few clips on You Tube, and its clear that David Cook is the best, period. Archuleta is too young, and he has no stage presence.
Hope your dogwalk for Cancer was fun and a huge success!
Will you be posting any pics or details from the event?
You have the SWEETEST boy on the planet- his funny face always brightens my day!

I wanted to thank you for playing my workforce block. It was cool hearing my name on the radio. I love Q104.3, I listen to the station all day, everyday. You do a wonderful job. Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks again!!!

While googling my name (I'm a dog artist), I found this link under one of my links:
http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/vargas.asp
It doesn't offer any finality, but some more info.
What more can be done to expose and express outrage at the depraved creulty exhibited by the Honduran claiming to be an artist? How can we, in the animal welfare world, send a message to the government of Honduras? Will the peition do that? Will it fall on deaf ears? I will forward this information onto the Humane Society. Perhaps if we all join forces our voice will be heard on behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves. What is the overriding sentiment in the islands that allows for the utmost violent attacks aganist animals? ( Let's recall the attack on pets by Animal control officers in Puerto Rico.)
Am willing to do what it takes to bring this individual to justice if such a thing exists.
Sincerely,
Deborah Mehne

SPCA of Westchester
A HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!
Also if your dog is bitten there may be a puncture wound that you don't see. There may be little or no blood (it happened to one of mine years ago). So make sure you check very closely. If there is one and it's not taken care of it could become infected.
Have fun at the dog parks!

She's wild, witty, so pretty and smart

Well, it really does make a difference re in which year you were born - my mother-in-law is also April 26 and I call her "Mommy Dearest". What a difference the year makes.........
So, here is another Scumbag that loves to hurt animals. This crap makes me go crazy. He calls this art work and i call this heartless. Here i go again!!! Put this low life in the same jail cell
as that other Scumbag Michael Vick. If i had the power i would put these two Bastards in a room with every starving animal on the planet. I would stand there and watch as the animals feast.
And as a favor to Laura, i would throw Keith Oberman in there for
desert. xoxoxo. God please help me deal with all this crap.
what he is doing is not ART
let me ru into this guy
And i dont even have a pet
Hey Maria, u are a fellow Taurus!!!! i am 4/29.... by the way your pup is sooooooo cute!!!!!

What exactly is happening to us???
Please forward this to everyone you know!
In the 2007, the 'artist' Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, took a dog from the street, he tied him to a rope in an art gallery, starving him to death. For several days, the 'artist' and the visitors of the exhibition have watched emotionless the shameful 'masterpiece' based on the dog's agony, until eventually he died.
He's been invited back to the Bienal Centroamericana Honduras 2008 (a huge art event in South America) to recreate this 'exhibit' this year. You can google his name for confirmation of story, it's not for the faint of heart and truly despicable.
Please sign the petition to boycott the presence of Guillermo Vargas Habacuc at this year's event. You don't need to register,
just sign and send.

If you watched Idol Gives Back...and I can't claim to have watched the whole thing...did you happen to catch Heart performing Barracuda? Am I the only one who felt badly for Ann Wilson? She started off singing and it was pretty good, but then she was sort of upstaged by Fergie blasting onto stage and singing her part and she was left just kind of watching and almost singing back up on her own song. That was awkward, I think.
with many of the people that i had the pleasure of working with.
Word has it that the biggest Scumbag on the face of the earth is
playing football in prison. I hope he breaks both his legs, I hope
the K-9 unit is very close by and the Dog gets a chance to take a bite out of Vick's ass. I hope by now he's somebody's Bitch and everytime he bends over to do some receiving he feels the same pain that all those animals felt at the hands of this creep.
Ok, let me calm down now, this guy get's me so freak'en crazy.
Hey Maria!!! As i drive my Bus down on Water and Broad Streets
i see the big rat, I don't know why it's at that location but it's there.
Carmine looks more and more like a Boxer. He is so cute. Wish him good luck with doggie training.
Michael
enjoy him
Whatever happened to the pictures of Maria at
Countdown's 5th Anniversary Party?
Maria, I'm jealous of all the peops that can listen to your show........wish I still lived in NY instead of NC (except in frigid weather :>).
Hey Maria,
Keep those adorable photo's coming. He is looking great- Good job MOM!!!
Q104.3 ROCKS!!!!
He is just the sweetest cutiest dog and he is lucky to have you!!!! (and visa versa)
P.S. Love your station and love your show!!!! Hail Hail Rock & Roll!!!
Gail
YES on CTBR making progress!!! I do believe that Pug that bullied your sweet boy was a recipient and communicator of a divine message sent from Clarice- she was telling CTBR to respect, submit and to LISTEN to you, Maria!
LOVED the Cesar interview- he's another of my heroes.
local NJ band with alot of talent think ya might like it

tell me what you think
Thanks, BOBO
Yes Evelyn, I still feel good about myself. When i got home
that night all i did was hold my two dogs, Rosie and Stinky. As soon as i got into the house they knew i was with another dog.
Just like my wife knows when i was out with another woman.
Just kidding about that one, I've been with my wife 18 years and i wouldn't even think of cheating on her. I wonder about her!!!....
And thankyou to you also Mandy's DAD, if your ever down by wall street and you see MTA BUS #1884 that's me, come and say hello. Take good care and my God bless you both.
Maria the Angel Princess, HUGE CONGRATS on your NJSPCA award!!!!

Thank you so much for posting a link to our petfinder! We have already had so many calls regarding the event on Saturday!

In Our Hands Rescue
Most puppies do "balk", have you tried carrying a treat to coax him? My dog did the same thing, so I would wait a minute or so and then I would show her the treat, this usually worked. Just a suggestion.
Annette
hi maria,im sure hell come around and start walking..he's just being a guy,lol...sorry about the mistake on your certificate of appreciation as to where it came from..when i heard you announce it i was in the middle of work,so i did'nt get the facts straight!!again congrats..i guess carmine's growing too!!oh,oh puppy obiedience school!!he's just havin fun with you!!!the best of luck..he'll be fine...hey,get a little red wagon like we had when we were kids and pull him around in it!!!betcha that would get on the front page of the news or post!!have fun with him and be well,clem and kathy skarzynski,parlin,n.j.
Dennis, I'd ride your bus ANY day of the week!
i noticed a lost and very Dazed and confused Dog in the right lane of traffic. I stayed right behined it blocking off two lanes of traffic with the hope that the animal would not get hit by a car.
The northern Blvd. exit was coming up and i was praying the Dog would make it's way up the ramp, it did and i jumped out of the Bus as i motioned to some guy to grab the Dog and he did. I said thanks to the man and i held on to the Dog for dear life.
I carried her onto the bus and proceeded off the ramp before somebody killed me for having traffic blocked up for miles. I pulled over by a Wendy's and the Dog and i shared a couple of Cheeseburgers and fries, she drank water and i had a diet coke.
Now this was like hitting Lotto, after sitting by Wendy's for almost an half hour and thinking about what to do next, ( I couldn't take her home because i have two Dogs of my own) I noticed 4
young ladies walking up towards Wendy's and one of them was holding what appeared to be a Dog chain. As they got closer to the Bus i got out and asked them if they were looking for a lost Dog, they were all upset and the very young one started crying.
Well anyway, they all said yes, I went and got the animal off the Bus, the Dog knew right away who they were, and everybody was happy. I felt Damn good and proud of myself ( for a change) I
thanked God everything worked out well and my Bosses didn't have to know a thing about bringing a Dog on the Bus and using
their Bus to block off traffic to save a Beautiful animal.
And, your crown looks so beautiful...it was blinding my eyes. You looked just like a......well, for lack of other words.....PRINCESS!!!!
They know a good thing when they see it and now you have way much more leverage to get that cocktail napkin signed by Keith just for me. I don't know how much longer I can hold out not getting one......
ALL HAIL THE ANNOINTED ONE!
PS. "You are my pimp and I am your...." ha, ha ha......what a classic! But, please, please, just don't get Keith fired. We NEED both of you!!!!
Hi Maria,
It's great that Carmine is doing so well, his pictures are adorable. What a lucky pooch! And speaking of lucky pooches, what a heart warming story about Valentine. She certainly looks like she's on the road to recovery, what a sweetheart!
I also hope that Lloyd from Long Island finds his dog Bailey. Keep the faith and don't give up. Best wishes and prayers to you Lloyd and your family.
Happy spring (if it ever gets here!) to all & take care, Colleen.
Still no word about him after nearly 6 weeks gone.
Like he disappeared into thin air.
Not one call after spending so much time and expense trying to find him.
He must have been stolen.
Of course the new "owners" got a little less than they bargained for, since Bailey suffers from Addison's Disease and won't last much longer without his shots.
So right now, if those filthy swine don't walk him or take him to the vet, he's peeing and crapping all over their house and just lying around not being able to do much without those Cortisone shots.
But the real sadness is that his family deeply misses him and I'm sure he misses them.
He disappeared from his fenced in yard in North Massapequa and has to be around somewhere on the Island.
I hope Maria can make an announcement on the air or just post my messages around the Q104 Web pages.
Thanks again.
Lloyd
Hi Maria.
I'm glad that you changed your photo on your site, not that the closeness of your cool curls is not always loved (on the traditional photo of you), but I love your tee shirt and have always wondered about your tee shirt collection; you must have the coolest tees shirts in the world.
Think of my darling Shandi when Carmine is being a puppy....
My little darling just learned how to shake a paw.....after almost a year!!! She is outside potty challanged too.......
And big sis Cookie just laughs her tail off!!!!
Shandi's mommy in Hicksville
Last month my 9 year old Bearded Collie "escaped" from my fenced in yard.
After placing numerous newspaper ads, calling the local police precincts, putting signs up all over the neighborhood, and visiting every animal shelter and veterinarian on the Island, I am totally convinced he was STOLEN.
Nobody in the neighborhood saw him and nobody called,
He just disappeared.
His name is Bailey. He's very very loveable and goofy. He had ID tags on his collar and he even has an imbedded ID chip inside him.
Bailey is about 60 lbs, but looks larger with all his black/gray and white hair.
He aslo suffers from a disease which needs monthly medication or he will soon die.
Please, please! Post up this notice and say a few words on the air if possible.
I know everyone says this..but I'm a "since day one" loyal Q104 fan and particularly a fan of yours since I went on a boat ride around Manhattan with you years ago and went to the park for a Dogs Walk a few years back where I met you and Clarice.
Thanks for any help you can give.
A very sad Lloyd

Hey Maria,
The puppy stage is not forever and he is probably just needs to get use to his surroundings. He had a rough start to life and he just needs time to adjust.
As for the mounting it does surprise me at a young age but I guess they are just like men think with one thing!!!hahaha
Enjoy and things will get better for sure.
Have a great weekend!!! HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY EVERYONE!!!!!

I'm glad to read that Carmine's doing well. He really IS adorable. That's so cool that you rescued him from a shelter. There are WAY too many abandoned dogs that need good homes. I'm involved in a Siberian Husky rescue group (http://www.siberescue.com/) that places abandoned Huskies with owners that will give them a good "forever home."
If you, or any other dog owners are interested, we're holding our sixth annual "Tails of the Trails" hike on September 20th (details are on the website). It's a free event and all are welcome. In addition to the hike, there are games and events for the dogs and owners. For example, Coldstone Creamery sponsors an ice cream eating contest for the dogs. There's also a fun variation of musical chairs where the dogs have to sit when the music stops. Last dog to sit has to exit the game. If you don't have a dog, come anyway and we'll let you borrow one of ours. Hope to see ya there. :-)
Thanks for the update & new photo of Carmine. Glad he is feeling better, looking at his picture he is way too cute. He does look like a little devil but that is so much fun with a puppy.
By the looks of his paws, you may have to send him to puppy school so he won't be walking you down the street when he gets older!!!!! LOL
Have a great time with your puppy, take care.
Have a Great Day..
Nancy
I went to see Love Janis at the Count Basie in Red Bank last night and was blown away.
If anyone has the chance to see this show, do not hesitate, Go.
The musical Performace was fantastic, for a couple of hours it was like having Janis back with us.
The performance was peppered with 2 performers as Janis talking about her life. The entire content was taken from her letters home and various interviews. It give you a very private look at her life which was both sad and tragic.
Still can't believe what I experienced.
I was so relieved and elated to find out that your new addition Carmine is doing much better.
Here is to Carmine and his "speedy" recovery. He will be his usual self before you know it!!!!!!!
For you and Carmine are in my thoughts and in my prayers.
Take care of yourself and keep playing Joan Maria!
You truly are the "best"!!!!!
With lots of Amore..

Carmine is soooo cute-those pictures are just wonderful. It is so great that he is back home now where he will get lots of attention and love, so he can fully recover and get back to his mischievous self.
Keep posting those beautiful pictures!!!!!
SMOOCH the POOCH!
xoxoxoxo
Tracy
What great news! I am so glad he recovered and is going home. An empty house is no fun. Give him lots of hugs and smooches and good stuff to eat. I hope he stays strong, healthy and grows up to be a big ox! (only kidding!) - xoxoxox
With a name like Carmine the Big Ragu a nice Italian boy how can you go wrong.
Hugs and kisses for both of you
I know everyone was praying for the best for him.
I agree with Gil F. who said that this is meant to strengthen the bond between you and Big Ragu. There are no accidents.
Basil King (I think he wrote that, I read it in Norman Vincent Peal's book "The Power of Positive Thinking." So, it's a quote of a quote of a quote).
XOXOXOXO
hi maria,kathy and i are hoping and praying for the little guy..yeah,its so hard when you have to wait by the phone for news,but i guess thats what the unconditional love is all about..were thinking positive and were thinking of you and carmine...all of our love and support kiddo...kathy and clem skarzynski...
Dear Maria,
I'm praying Carmine pulls through and is back home soon happy and in good health. Take care and keep the faith.
There are no words that can be said, only good thoughts to be sent and prayers to be offered for Carmine's recovery. I can only hope this is something meant to strengthen the bond between you and Carmine, making your future years with him more cherished. But I can already see, Carmine is a lucky and loved dog with you by his side.
Love,
Gil F.
heard your announcement of the eagles and moody blues playing at the park in myrtle beach. think you should come down here and check out the park in person. myrtle beach area is a great place to live, moved here 2 years ago from long island and miss hearing q104--listening on the internet last few days.
the "beach" is a great family destination and pretty inexpensive compared to new york.
should check out the parks website at hardrockpark.com to get an idea of some of the attractions. the led zeppelin coaster looks like it is going to be awesom especially with "whole lotta love" playing while you are on the ride
I hope the Big Ragu is home soon and back to getting hugs/kisses from you again. Please keep us updated on his progress and we will all say our prayers for a speedy recovery!!!
Hang in there Mom he will be home very soon!!!
Just read about Carmine. Will be sending him good thoughts and prayers and hope he is home and feeling better soon.
I saw Carmine's latest pic on your blog. He is sooo adorable. He, I would bet has Boxer in him. He has the coloring, the square face, the floppy ears, he is just too cute. Boxers have always been one of my favorite breeds. I love all breed dogs for that matter, mutts, boxers, pugs, french bulldogs, boston terriers, chocalate,yellow,black labradors, etc. You know, how I also love my pugs Maria-(Mocha & Spressie,) they are the best.
He even has the short hair of a Boxer/Bulldog/Beagle? Clarice, I'm sure right now in doggie heaven is very happy for you Maria. You will definately see some of Clarice's personality in Carmine.
Michael
Please SMOOCH THE POOCH for me!
Thank you for being on the best station around playing the best music, will all the other great DJ's. And your puppy is a beautiful one!

Hi Maria i'm a big fan of your show, you make my day go easy just listening to you, and i'm a big fan of Eric Clapton since i was 12, i'm 50 now, sound silly but if you have an extra tickets to go to the his show that will be awesome.!!!!!!
Congratulations for your show YOU'RE THE BEST
Best Regards
Roger

I'll tell you folks, the more people I meet, the more I love and enjoy my doggies. May the victim rest in peace, and God speed to her family during this horrible time.
May that murderer rot in hell, that piece of s%$t he is.
What an adorable pooch. Puppy-hood, will pass, so will the WEE-WEE pads. LOLaughs. He hit the jackpot by you adopting him, and I know he will give you the same love in return. I wish you many happy, and healthy years with him. Remember, you might be saying to Carmine right now, "No potty on the floor". Until he gets the message.
Michael
I just heard you mention what you did last night and I knew it would be a new addition. He is soooo cute !!! I wish you all the
happiness with Carmine.
So thanks for making my days a bit brighter, making me laugh, making me think, for touching so many lives in a positive way, and playing some great music.
You are one of the truly beautiful people in this world.
Many thanks.....................
p.s. love your hair, we could be sisters!
I have to agree with Paul on this Pedro thing, as much as i am an animal lover it is legal in his country. I don't agree with it, I get very upset when i see or hear of an animal getting hurt. But there are so many things in life that shouldn't be but there is.
Maria said it the way she feels it and that's ok with me, I still
respect her and I'm sure Paul feels the same way. So let's rock on and enjoy life while we can. By the way I'm still waiting for Michael Vick to drop the soap and have Big Bubba make his entry. I only wish that i could be there to witness the event.
Yes, I agree this spectacle is cruel and torturous but you need to understand a few points....first and foremost cock fighting is legal in the Dominican Republic as well as many other Latin countries. I recently read that next to baseball it is the second most popular spectator event...I refuse to say sport. Apparently, it is a major part of their culture.
I refuse to condone this activity but outside of the U.S. it is a big part of their lives.
Be advised that this occasion with Pedro Martinez and Juan Marichal ocurred two years ago so why is just surfacing now? Leave it to You Tube to bring this non-event to the public's eye.
OK, i have said my piece and thank you for allowing me to voice my opinion.
There's not much we can do here, but pray for the officers family and friends, and hope it doesn't recur.
We can do something about animal abuse wherever it may occur. It is not accidental like the officers' shooting, which is why it too makes the papers and the newscasts.
Every day someones pet is stolen for sale to research labs for unnessesary procedures that produce answers we already know. Puppies, kittens, dogs, cats, rabbits cared for by someones son or daughter; taken to train fighting dogs to kill.
Animal abuse is a criminal act, not to be minimalized.
Let your elected officials know (in an election year) that we care about our feathered and four legged companions.
Maria-- keep up your animal stuff-- it does help!!
Yours Truly
Michael Williams
Even you I am very said to say though I really like to listen to you every day at work. Would rather talk about a dog that was saved then this.
kids. I feel the same way you do Darlene and as far as Maria
goes, she is a Beautiful person, both inside and out. My Wife
tells me to see a shrink because I'm always' e-mailing Maria.
She said that if Maria saw what i look like she would run away.
But it's not about that, it's about letting Maria know i care about her and that a whole lot of us loves what she does for animals.
I thank God for creating such a person and letting us share our lives with her. Take good care Darlene and happy new year.
xoxoxoxoxoxox
reading this message board.holy cow,the love all listeners have for you.can understand it knowing you so long.
keep up the great work for a long time & play some more van hagar.....beep-beep-beep...lojack....guess who..xoxo
Hey Maria,
Thanks for keeping everyone up to date with this bastard who set that poor dog on fire. I hope it will start sinking in these people minds that you can not harm animals!!
But these sick/animals that do this kind of behavior to innocent loving pets WILL never change!!! I just wish the we could do to them what they do to the animals!!
Thanks again- You rock Maria!!!!
A fountain of escaping the busy-city trends of business work days that many find hard to cope. The stressful day can damper one's happy spirit and smile.
Frisbee games and hacky-sac foot plays. Grapes and cheese on a blanket of rest. Really close to Mother Nature’s heart. The grass breathes life into all citizens’ stressful voices. Now relaxed and a little more comfortable and ease.
These cherished special moments seem to stop time in it's tracks.
Like a good shower after a good game of softball.
To watch those playful dogs run. Reminds all of our city dwellers that sometimes you've got to stop what you're doing........and smell the flowers on the way.

and went on line only to find this piece of disturbing news,
" Michael Vick will get out of jail early"
I have had it with the system, everything about it sucks. The bad guy always gets a break, I only hope that when this scumbag
returns to the playing field (which he will) he breaks both his legs
and the crowd tosses about a million dog bones onto the field.
We will never know, but I also hope that Vick ran into big bubba
while he was in the shower and got it right up the pooper. I would pay big bucks to see him in pain, on his knees and Barking up a storm. Let Vick feel the same pain those poor animals felt.
I must say, I read your blog about Clarice and how you mentioned that you put Clarice's meds in water, and how she spent 7 days in 2005 in ICU. I had tears in my eyes, when I read what you wrote. I have two pugs as you very well know, Mocha and Spressie, and you reminded me of the eye gels I give my pugs, and you reminded me of how I have to clean my black pugs ears at least once a week. I had to upgrade to a King Size bed, because my pugs take up so much room, not to mention how my Boxer sprawls himself out on my bed. They are truly faithful companions, doggies. I love all animals, especially pugs and boxers.
God bless you Maria, and may he always remind you of Clarice as he has done. I think of Clarice often, because when I look at that beautiful face of hers she melts me. Your love for animals is so special. You truly are a beautiful person, inside and outside. My opinion, your also the best DJ with a gifted voice.
Clarice is always with you, she has left an impression on everyone who listens to the Q, and everyone who knows you.
Sincerely,
Michael
They're not pugs, but they'll give you tons of love and affection

Keep on Rockin' NYC
Bobby - Almost outta Virgina
Keep on Rockin’ NYC – you’re one of the best at it!
A friend of mine lost his dog over the summer. I've been "lending" him my dog in the hope that he will want to adopt another one soon.
He's been having a great time with my dog, Murphy, (a chocolate lab who swears he's the size of a chihuaha, but in reality he's the size of a small horse).
Since he lives alone, the house seems more empty now.
Hopefully in time, he will get over the guilt, and adopt another dog. I think that will get him out of his funk.
The amount of LOVE that is given to us by them is UNMEASURABLE -
I bet the BAC of those three guys was over the legal limit, AND they aided the tiger's escape.
Suddenly right there by the frozen lake a beaver comes by the cat and whacks it on his tail and takes off. Before the cat can do anything it started turning into a human being. The cat looked at its hands and feet and noticed it was standing on its own two back legs straight up. He starts walking towards the crowded people in the street and starts talking to them. Asking what is all this about. Can someone please tell me why are all of you running around? Tell me please. The people just looked at him strangely and ignored him. So the cat walked into a mall where there were decorations and lights. Many men and woman and children. A display where a man dressed in red with a long white beard. The smell of a bakery. Chimes of x'mas songs played over a speaker throughout the mall. The cat in its human form still was puzzled by it all.
He took the lower level down to an area where children play. They were laughing and joking and singing. The cat still didn't understand.
He than left the mall and walked down a street where there was a house of worship. There were no signs on this house to show what kind of house of worship it was.
He opened the door and went in. The place was empty except for a woman who was sitting in the second row. The cat walked up and sat next to her still in its human form. He asked the woman "Can you please tell me what the Holidays are for……I don't understand. The woman shed a tear and said the holidays are for people to rejoice what they have. Weather it's family, friends or faith in something to reassure themselves that there is hope in their lives……Now the cat asked the woman why was she in this house of worship. The woman said: " I have no family, no friends. All I had was my cat Lilly. And she passed away two weeks ago. So I'm here to say a prayer to someone above to reassure me that it will be o.k.……. At this point the woman looked at this stranger…..and the stranger started to shrink back down to it's original form which was a cat…..the cat jumped up into the woman's lap and meowed…………..
Magic episode. A holiday wish. Perhaps sometimes the best gift in life at the end of the year is a simple gesture of faith that can move a mountain…..or fill a gap between a cat and a woman……all right here : ) in the Twilight Zone...
He will become the victim now, I wish we all could see him bending over wide receiving " if you know what I am talking about " I only hope that the inmate makes Vick bark like hell
while he's plowing away. Enjoy your stay Vick, you're a real dirtbag.
I agree with you. I've known you for a long time, and I know how much Celine your beautiful beloved Corgi meant to you.
Celine will always be there for you in spirit my friend, I truly believe you and Celine will meet up again. You were always there for her, and she has not forgotten you. May she rest in Doggie Heaven. Think of the "Rainbow Bridge Prayer".
Take it easy!
Michael
I strongly hope to see by beloved corgi Celine when I pass over to the other side.

Thanks so much for your thoughful message about Spressie on Maria's blog. Your pugs are absolutely adorable, I saw every picture you posted of your precious dogs.. Pugs never loose their cutemess, they must take cute pills, because your pugs Molly and Odie are sooo cute. Pugs cuteness never gets old. Lots of laughs...
My beautiful black adorable puggie wuggie-Spressie, got her stitches removed last week. She is sooo smart, the tech Milton picked her up to hold her as the Vet took out her stitches, she had that worried (pathetic) look times 3. She remembered Milton when he brought her in the back while preparing her for surgery a few weeks back.. Poor baby thought she was going back for more surgey. After she realized, she wasn't having surgery, she was so happy.
She is doing fine, playful as ever, and yet she still finds the time to put the boxer in his place. He loves her, he keeps slobbering on her. She looks at him as if to say, "Your fresh". She also gives him that look as if to say, "Look Bub, watch yourself". He looks at her as he is turning his head with that dopy boxer adorable look like, "hey what did I do."..
Sincerely,
Michael Kutiak
The soothing ocean gently crashing on the shore.
Cool wind blowing pass the ear lobes of a sanctuary.
Peaceful River. Adorable landscape.
Life as it should be. Life not forgotten.
One day shall I return to overshadow the power of darkness, lies and war.
One day soon it will be my gift to you.
No longer will you lower your visage.
No longer will the candle be replaced when its flame dies.
For we look into
They've forgotten the tribulations of Earth.
For their maker removed the fruits of knowledge from their hearts, minds and souls. For the Maker has blessed them with the Fruits of Life. As it should have been from the very beginning of Time.
BTW: Maria, you're the GREATEST!!!!!
Michael,
You got it my friend.
I have 2 adorable pugs at home named Molly and Odie and they are my pride and joy.
I dread the thought of anything happening to them or getting some kind of horrible news from our Vet.
My prayers are with you and Spressie.
Good Luck and Happy Holidays !

Hey, galls and guys let's all say a little prayer for Pressie, a cute little pug that has a cancerous growth on her. Le'ts ask St. Francis (patron of animals) to intercede for her.
Thanks everyone.
Maria, Could you please play Goodnight Saigon sometime during your show today to honor all Veterans. And could you also please ask your listeners to stop and think for a minute why today is a holiday. Especially students of all ages. thank you Peace Kevin Dunn
Please pray for my beautiful black pug Spressie. She is the sweetest dog, as her trusting eyes can melt an iceberg.
She has a cancerous skin tumor-the size of a nickel, that needs to be removed. Her surgery is scheduled for November 13th. Please pray for my dog so that her surgery is a success, and pray that her skin cancer hasn't spread. My hope is that its in its early stages, and won't spread. I am looking at the positives, so please think and pray for my sweet pug and myself during this time.
Pugs are special dogs. Spressie is my pug angel, a real sweetheart of a dog.
Sincerely,
Michael Kutiak

There the ones I recall.
I've had a few moments in my life.
The best times of them all.
If I can take all those moments and put them in a jar. My life would be so damn-good. Money couldn't even take you that far.
I've seen those same moments in some friends of mine.
I know when they reveal a smile.
I've seen those same moments by the blues in their hearts.
And when they share those moments with friends that do part.
And when they take all those moments and put them in a jar. Their lives become so damn-good. Money couldn't take them that far..
I understand the love you and your fans have for animals. Heck I love them myself, but I can't understand how you can post information about saving the animals from the California fires and not post information on how we can make donations for the families especially the kids who are suffering.
Please let's not forget the big pictures here. That being said, If anyone has any information on where donations can be made to help the people who have lost their life savings in some cases I would appreciate it.
So it is said that the chapter turns.
We like to believe it is so.
But that chapter has been read by the last generation.
The new generations are experiencing a written chapter all ready pre-viewed. Let's take that old movie and make a re-make.
Why are you reading their chapter? Why repeat history?
I'd like to write a new chapter that was never written before.
But the economy will collapse. I guess the economy is more important than new forms of freedom and thought.
We cling to that chapter because we are reluctant to face the truth.
We cling to that chapter because most of us are afraid.
That chapter is just a security blanket.
Most of us don't even know why we go to vote.
That chapter is told by most of us most.
They tell me to be down to Earth and realistic.
Why I ask? Your realty is not life. Your realty is death.
I am just a stepping stone for your own chapter and waistland.
See the decay in your spirit. See the restless people now sleepless.
How did I not get caught up in the worlds tangled web?
I tore out that chapter from the past, and wrote a new one for myself!! : ) (This is meant to be positive..........)
Maria always - GET"S IT!!!!!!!
I must disagree with you however (slightly) on your post about the Ellen situation. I agree that the puppy would probably have been better off staying in that new home, I think the shelter volunteers should have done a home visit (or more than one if necessary) & given the ok for the dog to stay if appropriate. Also I do not necessarily agree with that group's rule about small dogs not being adopted into a house with kids. But I just adopted an abused dog from another rescue group around 6 weeks ago & I can tell you that you are incorrect when you say that no shelter wants their dogs back - not true. You do sign a contract when you finalize the adoption saying that if things do not work out with the pet you will return him/her to that specifica shelter/rescue group - no matter what. You are not even permitted to give the pet to another no-kill shelter! I heard today also that The Northshore Animal League has that same rule. Just wanted to let you know. Again, not saying I totally agree with this shelter in this case - would love to see them make an exception here. Sure it would be because she's Ellen, but hey - wouldn't this be a great benefit of celebrity status!
is that you? oct

I found the union rat, it was over in Jackson Heights Queens.
I was in my Bus rounding a curve and almost hit the darn thing.
The people that were striking had it out in the right lane of traffic, and almost became part of the Bus. That Rat up close is huge, and Maria speaking of Traffic, would love to hear some.
Peace : )

I was flipping back and forth from 60 minutes to The Yankees and I caught a little of Bruce's interview. The part where the interviewer said that people might think he is "unpatriotic" because of his new CD. I am a Vietnam Vet and a retired Fire Captain, so I not only have experienced war but the trauma of losing 343 of my brothers on 911.I am also a musician, so Bruce was right on the money. It would be "unpatriotic" to sit by and say nothing when the things that make this country great are being violated by the people who run the country. I support the troops but not the war, because I remember what is what like to come home and have people look at you like a leper. In my mind Bruce has it right.

I was wondering why you (and the other Q DJs for that matter), don't play any songs by REO Speedwagon. I know they have gotten the reputation of being a ballad band, but they still have some great rockin' tunes such as Back On The Road Again, Ridin' The Storm Out, and Roll With The Changes. Of course I wouldn't mind hearing Keep On Loving You or Can't Fight This Feeling, but I can see the others fitting Q's format better.
I hope you received the notes that i sent When i was in jersey.
I miss lisenting to the QQQQ I do listen when i 'm on the computer or in the car When i get to the P.A line I'm in Michigan now.We got tranfered from virginia 3 months ago I wish I was jesery for bruce home show

IMiss the whole Q crew Talk to you Soon
Love Sandy Like The Beach
The staff and volunteers at Sayreville Pet Adoption Center in NJ are big fans of 104.3. We listen to the station every day, and so do our animals! On Sunday 9/30 from 9-3 we are having our annual 'No Fleas Market', a fundraiser and bazaar with lots of different vendors. We will also have food, snacks, raffles, and of course, lots of animals to adopt. The address is 1400 Main Street in Sayreville NJ. Check out our website at www.sayreville.petfinder.com. Take care and thanks for all you do for rescue and sheltered animals
Normally I wouldn't have gone out of my way to do all this for I never ever corresponded with anyone via e-mail at any radio station. But something else was hinting me to do so. And I know Maria and Scotso were close. So perhaps it was that same flickering light that compelled me to send those e-mails.........
Scotso.....you will always be here with us in spirit......: )
The anniversary of her passing brought tears to my own eyes in sympathy and understanding of what you are feeling - having lost more beloved pets over the years than you can believe, I empathize with your pain and grief - it takes a while to move on but, when the time is right, Clarice will tell you in her own way, and you will find the next "love of your life". Until then, my thoughts and prayers are with you!
Best,

still prefer the union skunk pic I sent you many moons ago...
nice to see you last night @msg how about some rick derringer !!!!!! see you soon keep playing that rock and roll
Hi Maria-
My husband and I went to the Genesis concert at Msg last night. It was wonderful. It should have been called the "Phil Collins show" because without him there would be no show. His voice is still great and he knows how to work an audience. He and Chester Thompson did a 10 minute dueling drum bit that was phenomenal. There's nothing like watching the "old british rockers". I hope they keep it up for years to come.....
LO
Love your show.
Your very bright and cheery, we don't have enough of that these days.
Thanks for brightening my day!
Get Ken to stop playing the same rock songs all the time that we've heard for the last 20 years.
I don't listen to the Q anymore because of that reason and I miss you.
Keep up the good work!
Dear Maria,

It's bad enough that you advertised the DEVILS all last season, now your doing th ISLANDERS. You never do anything about the Rangers and they are the ORIGINAL NEW YORK TEAM. Well you just lost a listener.
Maria,
I love listening to your show,and as a member of IBEW local 363,I think it is great that you announce and post on-line where the RAT is.We've had it at many rally's.
Thanks for your support.
I AM A Q-WORKFORCE MEMEBER, BUT I AM ALSO AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER SO LISTENING DURING LUNCHTIME DURING SCHOOL HOURS IS NOT AN OPTION---WHAT ELE CAN I DO TO WIN VH TICKETS--I AM A 39 YEAR OLD, HUGE VH FAN WHO MISSED SEEING THEM WITH DAVE BACK WHEN I WAS 15---I AM NOT EVEN SURE I CAN GET TO A COMPUTER MONDAY DUE TO SCHOOL--------HELP!!!!!!!!!1
That rat seems to be making his rounds, but if you want to see
some real rats go over to Chuch and vessy streets, right by the
row of Bus stops. When I pull my Bus into the stop to pick up my Qm-24 passengers to Glendale Queens, the people can't board
the Bus fast enough. The rats are there by the hundreds.
THank you for calling me on my workforce block for Bob Dylan I LOVED IT!!!!!
Everyone at my job is still laughing and talking about it cause I sounded like not too energetic, but when you said you were gonna play Bob Dylan I just shot back up with a "NO WAY!", and you shot right back with a "WAY!" that was great and thank you once again.
I love listening to your show during lunch breaks or when I am off from work. I saw you 2 times both when you introduced David Lee Roth, once at PNC in 2002, and once in 2006 at the Nokia Theatre. Keep up the good work, you rock!!!
With the recent passing of Huey, why isnt Q104 playing more Outlaws songs in tribute?
On 9/7/07 I retired from Metropolitan Hospital after 20 years.
On 9/12/07 I turned 62.
On 9/11/07 our Cat died. I have to get another one. He was 14 or 15 years old. NOW I KNOW HOW YOU FELT ON THAT DAY.

I think of you and the good you do for everybody. My Dogs Rosie and Stinky, their ears stand up when I mention your name

A Helping Hand When Tragedy Strikes
But the dumb comments defending Vick just go way out of line.
Forget the fact that it's a matter of plain human decency (or the lack thereof) that keeps us from defending this guy. Or that these poor animals deserved better for their misplaced and unflinching loyalty to that.....creep.
Let's think about this: It's a FEDERAL CRIME -- HELLLLLOOOO Whoopi!

Maria,
You get me through my days. I listen in one ear all day at my desk jamming to the classics. Love it. You are also smokin hot. Wow, I had no idea. One thing though - can we please get some more prog. Especially King Crimson (but not court of the crimson king - so over done) some Genesis - UK - Gentle Giant - Yes - be brave, you can do it.

Q104 4 Life
Okay, so I guess Michael Vick and his actions are a big topic these days? Being an avid animal lover and an avid sports fan, I feel I have a pretty balanced perspective on this. Most importantly, I am a human being just like you who are reading this.
True, Michael's actions were beyond cruel and clearly inhumane. But don't forget, he has the same blood that we all do. He committed crimes that were illegal and morally wrong. The killing of the innocent - animal or human - is something that should never enter one's mind. There is no denying he made these choices on his own, and he publically stated that. His actions can not be forgiven. But can he be?
In Mike's case, he believed he was untouchable based on his life of praise and the success he achieved. For him to be convicted, which he will be based on his plea, is the ultimate fall. A fall he HAS NEVER faced. There are others who believe they too are untouchable regardless of there "standing" in the public eye. These people may fall too but will it impact us?
While watching Mike speak the other day, it's clear he has finally been humbled. How he was humbled, again, is a disgrace to society, but more importantly, to himself.
What do we as human's do? Do we continue to pound this guy with the facts of what he did? He did it and knows what he did better than all of us in the public court. He is the one who is now feeling the pain of the animals he committed those acts against - of course not physically. I could see it.
His employer, Arthur Blank, had his press conference to save the image of his team both in the community and financially. Denouncing Michael's actions, Mr. Blank did state that after all that has happened that he still believed in redemption.
So does society believe in redemption these days? Can we be the bigger people and accept that Michael Vick has already begun to better himself? I believe we have to. If we can't see that he desrves a chance to help himself, then we are just as wrong as he was.
From these recent events, hopefully, we can all look in the mirror and see that we need to help each other and pick each other up when we fall. Or it will continue to divide our society.
I believe these events are a turning point, for Mike and for all of us.
**On a side note, anyway I can hear some Zebra or America?**
Hopefully, the editor isn't working too hard today ;)
Vick is only sorry because he got caugth, your heart does not change that fast.
one day he could kill and the next he cares.
He should be givng money to the shelters that have the dogs that were left behind.
HERE WE GO AGAIN NOW DMX HAVING PIT BULLS AND GUNS GOOD COMBINATION GOING THERE!!!!!
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE SICK @#$$@.
THE BEST PUNISHMENT FOR THIS IS LET THE PIT BULLS THEY HAVE TRAIN TO KILL LOOSE ON THEM.
WHY PUT THESE ANIMALS IN OUR JAIL SYSTEM. IT PROBABLY WILL BE AS NICE AS THEIR HOMES.!!!
LOOK AT THE TIME NICOLE RICHIE DID FOR DRUNK DRIVING CHARGE. SHE COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE HERSELF AND SHE ONLY SPENT HOURS!!!
BUT IF IT WAS YOU OR ME OUR LICENSE WOULD BE GONE-FINES-AND JAIL TIME FOR NO CELEBRATES.
OK OK- MARIA YOU ROCK AND HAVE A GREAT LABOR DAY WEEKEND!!!
I'M TIRED OF EVERYONE STATING THAT VICK ADMIT TO DOING WRONG AND THAT IS THE FIRST STEP TO MOVE FORWARD FOR HIM.
HE ADMIT TO NOTHING THEY GAVE HIM A PLEA DEAL AND HE WILL NOT ADMIT TO ANY OF THE CRUEL INVOLVEMENT HE HAD WITH THESE ANIMALS.
ANY IF STEPHEN MARBURY DOESN'T SHUT HIS TRAP WE SHOULD ALSO BOYCOTT THE KNICKS BUT WHOM REALLY WATCHES THAT CRAP TEAM ANYWAY!!!!!!!
HAVE A GOOD DAY-MARIA ENJOY YOUR AMERICAN IDOL TRY-OUTS AND YOU ROCK MARIA!!!!!!!
We cannot thank you enough for your awesome stand on the behalf of animals and against the cruelty of animals at the hands of Michael Vick and people like him.
We applaud you and cannot even begin to tell you just how impressed and thankful we are for people, such as yourself, using their fame and position to make this world a better place.
We Join you, Maria, in encouraging anyone and everyone out there who has a Michael Vick shirt to part with it for this most worthy cause.
This being said, even dog and cat crap is too good to be touched by anything bearing the name of Michael Vick.
Cheers for Maria!!!
~Peace and grace,
Stephen and Robin Evans
VICK IS A PIECE OF CRAP AND FULL OF CRAP.!!!! HE STILL WILL NOT ADMIT DOING ANYTHING WRONG!!!
HE JUST STAND AND WATCHES DOG DIED YEA RIGHT!! I HAVE A NICE PIECE OF LAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GRAND CANYON FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO PURCHASE IF THEY BELIEVE AND MAKE A PLEA DEAL WITH THIS PIECE OF CRAP!!!
IT JUST ANGERS ME THAT THIS ANIMAL WILL NOT ADMIT TO DOING ANYTHING WRONG!!! NO REMORSE FROM HIM WE SHOULD NOT SHOW ANY REMORSE FOR HIS SENTENCING!!!!
HE NEEDS A YEAR IN JAIL AND HIS SALARY DONATED TO THE ASPCA!!!!!
He just pleaded guilty- gee I though he didn't know anything about it.... I still think the punishment should be put them all in a pit against the dogs, naked and just for good measure rub a little meat on them. Lets see how tough they are then.

A very creative and funny Michael Vick auction!
Also, in Union NJ on Saturday from 9-3pm its Lincoln Tech 1st Annual Adopt A Pet Day
Saturday August 25th, 2007 9:00 AM until 03:00 PM
Location: Lincoln Tech, Union, NJ
I'll be there representing Greyhound Friends of NJ so stop by and say hello to "Orville and Wilbur" at the greyhound booth. Lots of adoptable pets and rescue groups on site.
Maria, if you stop by with a Q104.3 t-shirt I will trade you for a Greyhound Friends of NJ t-shirt :D
You are truly voice of New York, Maria. Thank you for shining light on issues which too often remain on the back burner. Thanks also for giving New Yorkers a chance to be generous by giving us so much information about the animals.
and just a few words about Stephon Marbury...I love how he says,"from what I've heard...it's just a sport." ...what he's HEARD?? who is this boy eavesdropping on that he hears such crazy ideas? my message to Stephon is this:
dog fighting is torture, Stephon, not a sport. Playing basketbal IS a sport, so, stick with what you know, not what you hear. You can't handle both, just yet. YEch!
xo
Karyn
Hi Maria,
Stephon Marbury needs to go play basketball and stop with the sympathetic support of Michael Vick. He's trying to make Michael Vick out to look like the victim instead of the villian. Maybe they should go check out Stephon's house and see if he has anything illegal going on!
Dogs don't have the chance to find shelter, or escape from the torture or from their faith measured out to them by some sadistic individuals. The dog's very nature is being "raped" in the process of training them to be a fighter when in reality they would much rather prefer attention, affection, love and peace. Traits, that we as humans more or less pretty much forgot about! And also let's mention the countless kittens and other small animals that are torn apart during the "training".
As for the bulls...I think it's just as barbaric than dog fight. However, there are some fundamental differences between the two. The lenght of the time that dogs are tortured both mentally and physically, the gore, and of the ordeal endured by other creatures that accomponies this blood "sport".
In one aspect both of them are the same - they are for the "fun" and "enjoyment" of human beings!?
Hi Maria,
All I have to say is what they did to those animals should be done to them. May they rot in hell. Thank you for allowing me to speak my opinion.

It's nice to see everyone up in arms about dog fighting. But how is that any different then bull fighting. Actually it's better then bull fighting the dog has a chance to live.
So why not the out cry and action on behalf of the bulls? Oh that's right, they are food. Food doesn't deserve respect.
So what you say to the people that eat dog? Is dog fighting then acceptable in cultures that eat dog?
Again, I really enjoyed show; a little off the beaten path, and while I'm disappointed that it was cancelled, still don't understand what was really going on. Maybe someone will enlighten me, or, Maria, maybe you understood what was really happening. Thanks, Phyllis
When I read Maria's blog dated 8/21 I couldn't believe someone actually asked what the difference was between boxing and dog fighting! In addition to her answer that a boxer is fighting by choice I'd also like to include the fact that if said boxer were to lose too many fights he wouldn't be hanged or drowned. He wouldn't also be tormented on a daily basis so as to keep him in a constant state of aggression!
The person who asked that question seriously deserves a slap upside the head!
Hi Maria,
The rolling stones are in london 2 more shows to end the bigger bang tour.(last show aug26)
I hope you had a chance to see a one of the shows you would
never guess these guys are in there 60s Mick still hot as hell!!

last world tour and it was awesome!
thanks i listen every day and you rock!!
long live the STONES!!!!

The torture and murder of animals is a horrible thing. But I'd like to point out that we are still torturing and murdering Iraqis under false pretenses. Where's the outrage? Where's the condemnation of the war criminals that lied our way into this? Where are the calls to punish the profiteers?
I'm listening.
I wait all day for the Beatles songs at noon. Today I was so dissapointed. You played wonderful songs, but they all skipped. I thought it was just me, but I am not so sure. Was there a problem? Please play more Beatles so that I can have my daily fix.
Thanks,

And IT IS ABOUT TIME!!!!!!!!! How awesome is it that Wolfgang is taking part in this legendary rock band. I am gonna do whatever needs to be done to score a pair of incredible seats for the 11/13 show!
Thanks, TOMMY MAMBO
Do you know when Van Halen tickets are going on sale? Gotta go to this concert.
We can't even stand to watch the inane commercials for "Flight of the Conchords"! Maybe if we start watching it, though, HBO will cancel that too, and find something better to replace it with!!
Anytime you need Maria to play a request or dedication just ask Maria. She is terrific. She has a great amount of patience for listeners like us. She will work it out that you can have the songs you want played. She answers our Emails promptly. So to anyone that complains that Q104.3 plays the same music over and over, just remember you can do something about it. Maria can help play the songs you want to hear. I am a new 104.3FM listener and I enjoy listening to her from 9 to 2.
Thanks Maria for being so kind.
Thanks Maria -- Cheers Jesse
(What is left of) Max Yasgur's farm is indeed for sale. However, the field where the Original Woodstock Festival was held was sold years ago - it is now the home of the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, which is an amphitheater hosting concerts and such. It's similar to the Virginia Beach Amphitheater.
All that is for sale is the original house and its nearby surrounds.
Cheers!

live-in girlfriend's dog, Kilo, a one-year-old pit bull mix. The motive was
apparent retaliation against his girlfriend, Blair Anderson, for an argument
she and Babineaux had earlier that same night. After the argument, Anderson
left the house, leaving her two dogs, Kilo and Ace, with the Falcons'
defensive lineman. Not long after, Babineaux phoned Anderson to inform her
that something was wrong with Kilo. He advised that she should come home and
check on him. Anderson returned home to find Kilo in extreme physical
distress. Anderson rushed Kilo to the vet but he was dead on arrival.
Autopsy results showed Kilo died from blunt force trauma to the head,
leading Gwinnett County police to arrest and charge Babineaux with felony
cruelty to animals. The second dog, Ace, was later removed from the
Babineaux household and placed in the care of Animal Control.
In spite of the felony charge, Babineaux remains free on $2,300 bond and is
still actively playing for the Falcons. To date, Babineaux has received no
punishment or suspension from either the Falcons or the NFL.
Blogger William K. Wolfrum aptly sums up the glaring hypocrisy which now
enshrouds the Atlanta Falcons: Babineaux is currently in the Falcons
pre-season camp, obviously keeping a low profile.
Simply put, however, as long as Babineaux is allowed to play with the
Falcons while Vick is forced to sit out, the NFL's and the Falcons'
treatment of Vick can only be seen as a PR ploy. It has nothing to do with
ethics, or a standard of character they want from their players. As long as
Babineaux remains active, the NFL and the Falcons are little more than
hypocrites whose hands were forced in the Vick case.

YEAH RIGHT!!!!!
Please do not let go of the vick thing some one needsd to speek for da animals
Ok, Michael vick is an ogre, we all know this. His actions were inhumane and horrendous. But enough already. Everytime you go on about it and add new i hate vick items on your page, you perpetuate the sterotype of the weirdo animal lover who doesnt have a life. It will turn people off to your cause by stuffing it down their throats. Trust me.
Hi Maria,

Thanks for your support - there are LOTS of us stuck on the Michael Vick thing, this auction was a way for a few of us who give up a lot of our time and our love to local animal charities to vent a little and let people like Vick know exactly what we think about them.
I am amazed at how many "complements" we received on this item!
Keep it rolling - and peace to all!!
Thanks again for your support, Maria. I'm honored!!

The worst are the tourists in midtown. Not only do they not stay to the right, but they will stop in place and just look around like lost puppies. Maybe that can't be controlled, but at least those of us who commute or live in the city can avoid bumping into each other and get to where we go faster if we would all just STAY TO THE RIGHT!!!
I even remember the first move into FM rock, in the mid-1960's on WOR, and then WABC-FM, and finally, WNEW-FM...All great, all in the past.

I got nothing against having a good time but when you live in the spotlight you definitely need to be more discrete.
The SPCA believes this dog was being fight trained,but was too meek to compete successfully.
Seeing as how Derick looked overweight in the paper and on TV, diet and heat would do him a world of good.

Mick Jagger fan to celebrate his birthday at her Larchmont deli
THE JOURNAL NEWS
LARCHMONT - Lillian Kearns, owner of Kearns Deli, is an avid Mick Jagger fan and as anyone who is knows, today is his 62nd birthday.
"I've always been a fan and everybody knows it," she said this morning from her shop with a Rolling Stones LP - long playing record - playing in the background on her record player.
Her 135 Chatsworth Ave. deli is bedecked with streamers and crepe paper, she said. This is the third year in a row that she has celebrated Jagger's day.
"One customer said, 'You are over the edge,'" Kearns laughingly said.
"I wear a copy of a record disc as jewelry around my neck," she said. Kearns even has joined Andy Hilfiger, the musical brother of Tommy Hilfiger, on stage at local sites to sing "Honky Tonk Woman," she said.
At noon, Kearns will bring out a sheet cake, give out free cupcakes and, along with anyone who comes by, sing "Happy Birthday" to Mick.
By the way, her husband is a Grateful Dead fan and they have a smaller celebration planned for Jerry Garcia's birthday Aug.1.
just wanted 2 say hello. Hope all is well by u! That animal fighting is sick! U know i have known a lot of dogs in my lifetime who r actualy better than people!

W.F.B., anything good today?
I admire you and your listeners love of animals. I love animals too and believe that they should never be harmed in anyway. However I feel we as a society we have bigger fish to fry. In other words why don't we concern ourselves with our children and the cruelty that they suffer. Everyday innocent kids are abused or even killed much like this dog on Long Island but we are more concerned about the dog? Well for me the kids come first and we need to evaluate our priorities here. Thanks for listening
Love the show and I also love that love animals in general.
I am a huge NFL fan and Michael Vick is one of the most dynamic players in it. Three cheers to Roger Goodell in telling this guy to stay home and don't report to camp.
If he is smart the owner of the Falcons will cut him as soon as all the evidence is brought forward and he is guilty.
Hey, what is next Sharpton going to come to his defense!!
Give me a break !
Time to have some of these big athletes pay the price!!
Keep Rocking Sexy Maria Melito...
How bout dinner sometime???

thanks jennifer:)
I truly can not stand the thought of how that poor pit bull was set on fire. I agree that the owner, or whoever, should be put through the same misery. I have owned pit bulls and rotties my whole life, and they are nothing but sweet gentle, loyal animals until they are put in the hands of ANIMALS!! WHOEVER puts an animal/child through ANY type of cruelty should be severely punished!!! and anyone who thinks otherwise should also be severely punished.
all those millions. all those fans. that feeling. a pro athlete. the time and money he could have spent on the society that produces these thoughtless mindless athletes, not to mention the hardened criminals that DONT become world famous athletes! the commish has much deeper issues with these athletes. he is facing a mountain and hes still the car looking up.
WHEN convicted of these unspeakable acts, vick should indeed be banned from the NFL....yes forever. why not? im ready for the athlete with class. where are the curtis martins and ladanian thomlinsons? out with the trash...no matter how UNBELIEVABLY TALENTED HE WAS!!!
phyllis neri, dn
While I totally agree with you about dog fighting, I think you are way out of line asking the NFL to sack Vick. Michael Vick has been indicted, he has not been tried and convicted. If and when he is convicted then he should be fired and his sponsors should also can him.
To take actions like the ones being taken now are premature.
Remember in this country we are innocent until proven guilty.
Lou
Just an idea for a segment on your show on wednesdays. Maybe devote an hour to some one hit wonders we all love?? Just tryin to give some helpful ideas to my favorite Radio station Q104.3!
More important would be to contact the SPONSORS of NFL games and let them know this behavior cannot be tolerated. Do they want their products associated with an individual using the puppy or cat next door as "bait" to train these dogs to fight to kill? I think not.
Maybe Commisioner Goodell will listen to those who fill hi$ pocket$---but they have to hear from US.
Maria, you are the best at getting the word out on things that matter; keep it up!
Children all over the world look up to athletes as 'heros.' If Vick is not punished, then what message are we sending to our youth? Somehow, some of us are just not gettin' it!! Have a heart people; let's apply so much pressure on these organizations and the courts, that they will have no choice.
I agree with the person who said most serial killers start by torturing animals and laws do need to be changed in regards to animal rights. The whole situation is sickening.
HEY MARIA,
THIS STORY ABOUT MICHAEL VICK AND THE DOG FIGHTING JUST SHOWS YOU HOW MANY SICK PEOPLE WE HAVE OUT THERE. JUST BECAUSE HE IS WITH THE ATLANTA FALCONS, SO WHAT!!! THAT SHOULDN'T GIVE HIM A LEANER SENTENCE IN THIS HORRIBLE CRIME. LIKE I ALWAYS SAY, AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN, LET THE PUNISHMENT FIT THE CRIME. I'M NOT A HEARTLESS PERSON, BUT IF I SAW HIM LAYING IN THE STREET AND NEEDING HELP, KNOWING WHAT HE'S DONE, HE COULD LAY THERE UNTIL PIGS FLY BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN HELPING THE ANIMALS THAT NEED OUR HELP. THIS GUY MAKES ALOT OF MONEY AND HAS NOTHING BETTER TO DO WITH HIS TIME THAN ABUSE ANIMALS WITH THESE FIGHTS. I DON'T EVEN BELIEVE IN HORSE RACING AND I WON'T GO TO THE TRACK BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE THE HORSES SHOULD HAVE TO RUN FOR US TO MAKE MONEY. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS WHO SHOULD BE TREATED WITH LOVE AND KINDNESS AND NOT HAVE TO SUFFER BECAUSE OF US. MICHAEL VICK SHOULD GET THE MAXIMUM PUNISHMENT WHATEVER IT MAY BE. NO SPECIAL TREATMENT BECAUSE HE IS A PRO FOOTBALL PLAYER. HE SHOULD GROW UP AND ACT LIKE AN ADULT IF WANTS THE RESPECT. THANKS MARIA, LOVE YA GIRL. DENISE WORDEN, ANIMAL LOVER FOREVER
The only good thing that can come out of this Vick situation is that it is made public and it will make more people aware of the cruelty that goes on in this country against poor defenseless animals. Being aware is the first step to doing something, the more people know the more help they will receive.

I find animal abuse and child abuse to be some of the worst crimes. I think that those abusers should have done to them what ever pain and torture they inflicted upon others. Therefore
I think Michael Vick should be thrown bare assed into a pit of viscious dogs, so he knows what it feels like to be mauled.
Throw the book at him! Anyone who can do that to an animal must be a sicko! seriously- most mass murderers tortured animals when they were younger. we don't need people like that in our society. he should never get to play football again, he should be tortured to death!!!
Hi Maria,
Love your show and the work you do for animals.
It's apparant that laws need to be changed in this country with regard to animal cruelty. As long as our pets are considered property in the eyes of the law, the punishment when cruelty is inflicted on them will remain inconsequential and have little or no effect on preventing future occurances.
Perhaps he may get off easy because of his celebrity status but at least the dogs are in safe hands now.
There is something terribly, terribly wrong in this world. There are so many people who have no compassion and who think that animals don't "feel" anything. WHERE and HOW did these people grow up. WHO the hell raised them????? That's where the fault lies, in my opinion. Parents teach their children to be kind to animals but somewhere the parents of today are failing.
Animals are living, breathing, feeling creatures and should not be exploited by humans for money or entertainment. It's wrong!!!!
Thank you, Maria, for speaking out for the animals who can't speak for themselves. Not enough people do.
And remember......if you can hurt or torture an animal you most certainly can do it to a child - not that that should be the deciding factor. A life is a life!!!!!!!!!!!
Mike, you are right, a man is innocent until proven guilty. But if you think he's innocent, you are either extremely gullible or delusional. When he is found guilty he should receive the maximum punishment allowed by law (far too lenient), and thrown out of the NFL for good. Maybe when he gets out of prison he can try to get a 9 to 5 job like everybody else. Let's see how he likes it. You know what's really ludicrous about the whole thing. GOD has given this man a terrific physical talent, and how does he repay this gift, he destroys, hurts, etc. GOD's creatures. When he is found guilty, take away something he loves and earns millions for doing 4 months of work a year. Another thing, if you don't like others having opinions that differ from yours, maybe you should find another country. There are plenty of countries where people have the same opinion. Unfortunately, that's because if they voice a different opinion, they are silenced. Nobody is saying he don't deserve a fair trial. But when the verdict comes in (guilty), he should be made to suffer like the dogs that he made suffer. Unfortunately he won't, just like the punk (trying to be nice) on Long Island that did what he did to Maximus.
Steve
Tell your representatives in Congress:
END THE ILLEGAL OCCUPATION OF IRAQ!!! BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW!!!
Thank you.
To think that this is a "man" that children look up to and aspire to be. Sounds to me like he is prepping all the serial killers of tomorrow.
He should be made an example of in front of the world to see. Did he not make enough money as a football star, that he needs to pray on those that have no ability to choose, in order to make more.
I say not only do you suspend him, but i think he should be made an example of. We lock him in a cage with minimal food or water for a few years, cover him in water and electocute him. If what he was doing to those dogs wasn't so bad, then why would that present any problem. What, because he is a human being? NO he isn't a human being, he is a monster and to catagorize him with people like myself makes me sick.
Throw the book at him!!!
Vick is definitely innocent until proven guilty. God Bless America. However, government attorneys don't just hand out Federal Indictments on a hunch. To turn a blind eye towards Vick's involvement is as irresponsible as it is to suggest that he be jailed immediately. I agree, let the justice system handle this, but make no mistake---he is up to his eyeballs with his involvement.
Z
Maria,
I cannot begin to express my sympathy for these poor innocent animals. I am so outraged by this whole incident. This man is guilty as day, but because of his "celebrity" status, he will probably be let free. I think he should not only be REMOVED from the NFL, but he should do serious prison time. This is animal cruelty and it really bothers me how a lot of people don't see this. Too many times in the past we have these "celebrities" getting away with murder, literally. E.g. OJ Simpson, Jason Williams, and many more. We also have “celebrities” getting away with other things like drugs, rape, etc. e.g. Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant, Paris Hilton. THIS HAS GOT TO STOP. There has to be point where the “courts” or the “judge” draws the line. PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE. I don’t care if you’re a celebrity or not, if you do the crime you do the time. I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired, as Angela said. These “public figure” are supposed to be role models for kids, and they’re supposed to “perform” for families who watch them, and also fund their salaries. But most of the time, all they do is screw up, do illegal things, and They GET REWARDED FOR IT.
I just can’t believe that because of someone’s race, celebrity status, or because who they know, they can get away with murder, drugs, and rape. I was just reading the paper the other day and read about Sean Williams fromBoston College JERSEY NETS STILL DRAFTED HIM! A spokesman for the team babbled about how “allegations this… we’ll see about that... we have to make a right decision for the team...” A bunch of BS. I mean what kind of standard are these guys setting for kids? There’s not moral ethics being enforced here. IN FACT, THERE’S NOTHING BEING ENFORCED PERIOD! THESE PLAYERS GET REWARDED FOR THEIR WRONGDOING! When you think about it, this is what’s really going on. It’s a damn shame because it all comes down to what the players are doing for the team, which in return means more ticket sales = $$$$. Someone, whether it be a “politician” or a “public figure” or someone that can actually change or at least has the power to change what’s going on, not just talking about it, should do something!
Lastly, and I do apologize for my rambling but I am a college student and I really wanted to voice my opinion on this matter because I am sick and tired of people defending these pieces of trash, what about the money? Not for anything, why do these multi-millionaires still gamble? Michael Vick is worth at least $50 million $$$$ And he still has to gamble? The same goes for Alex Rodriguez, who is worth over $250 MILLION $$$$ and was still caught in an ILLEGAL GAMBLING RING.
THIS ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS:
HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH?
I know there’s a lot of steps that must be taken to improve the ethics and values in sports, as well as other areas, but I feel if we concentrate on the following, we would greatly improve the way celebrities and athletes act and conduct themselves.
1.) Salary. This is something that should be limited. These athletes shouldn’t be paid tremendous salaries for playing a sport. Nor should they be worshipped! They are just people throwing around a football, or a basketball, or whatever. We have to control the pay to athletes because they get TOO MUCH, TOO FAST and that’s what causes problems.
2.) The rules of conduct should be enforced greatly. They should even enforce certain laws more than others in some cases. It’s a disgrace how these people present themselves and SOMEONE, such as the CEO of the sports teams, or the CEO of the company sponsoring them, or even someone else, should do something about it.
I’ve said enough. I think you all know how I feel and what should be done. Thank you for reading this.
Oh yea, why don't you move out of the country, it'll be a better place for all of us : )
Maria,
I am so sick and tired of seeing people within the public eye, such as celebrities and sport professionals get away with murder, cruelty to animals, drunk driving, to name a few. It just seems that no matter what opinion we voice, or the steps we take to try to make officials see that these people DO NOT deserve special treatment is unacceptable. What do we have laws for? Do these laws only apply to the average joe? I'm sick and tired of being, sick and tired. I just do not understand society today. They all need to pay for their mistakes, regardless of what their status is. I guess that we are the only ones that have to follow the laws. Thanks for letting me vent.
It's very devastating to see a poor, innocent animal suffer and die the way Maximus did! (Honestly, I kept praying that he makes it through. But....He's at least out of his pain now.)
Let's hope the petition gets into the right hands so that Michael Vick get the dose of justice he deserves!
Peace to Maximus.
P
Cruelty to animals is sick, Did anyone else see this about a poor kitten in California? They should put these kids in jail NOW!

Keep up the wonderful work you do for animals. As the "mom" of a "rescue" cat and a "rescue" guinea pig, I salute you!
Maria - First, thanks for all you do for the animals.
I couldn't beleive it when I heard this story. I should not be shocked any longer. There seems to be a huge amount of horrible people out there. The two years that this person would get for doing this crime is not nearly enough. This person needs to suffer as much, if not more than Maximus did. To think that someone could do something like this makes me sick. I had trouble with my PC on Monday night and decided to wait until Tuesday night to donate some money. I come home last night to hear the news that he died. I hope they offer a nice reward to make people who know anything report it. This person must be found and punished. If you know of anything we (you, listeners) could do to help, please pass it on.
Keep up the good work.
Steve
People who harm animals like that usually turn out to be serial killers.
I will never understand what is going on with these horrible people that prey on animals and children. They are cowards and weaklings with no hearts or souls.
The thought of this poor pit bull hanging there not knowing whats coming next is...well it's really disturbing to say the least.
I truly believe that we need harsher punishments for animal abusers. Isn't it obvious that if they can destroy a living breathing creature like this, they are capable of much more?!
I, as well as many others who listen, truly appreciate the things you do for our animal friends, Maria. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being such a valuable advocate for animals in need.
Now, being that I'm at work, there is no crying aloud. So I need to conclude this comment quickly before the waterworks begin.
Lets all be happy that this pitt bull is in doggie heaven with all of our beloved pets, peeing and pooping wherever they want, chewing on anything they like, eating everything in site and barking to their hearts content!
Peace, Love and ADOPT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maria, continue the great work that you do on the Q and with finding homes for animals.
Stephanie
Hi Maria,
I am writing to you because you are on the air right now. My next patient had to cancel due to the weather so I have this time available.
I listen to you every Monday and Wednesday - the other days I am out of the listening area and nowhere near a computer with a sound system, sorry - and I have an idea.
You can't help but notice that there are certain "classic" rock songs that are truly classic. There is a core of songs that I hear every day; this is not a complaint.
My idea is to offer a challenge to listeners to suggest a song that isn't played everyday. Perhaps the rule could be that the song couldn't have been played within the past six months. (I'm sure there's a data base that can be easily accessed for verification.)
I came up with this idea because this morning I heard two gems from a friend's home burned CD, that I am sure have not been played on the radio for twenty five years or more.
1. Marcella - The Beach Boys
2. Lady Eleanor - Lindisfarne.
(BTW, just in case you didn't know this, to put Linidsfarne in classic rock perspective: The mandolin player from Lindisfarne, Ray Jackson, was the "unidentified" mandolin player on Rod Stewart's EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY. This makes a great trivia question for serious rock music buffs. I wonder how many of your listeners know this)
Michael
P. S. I don't know how to keep anything short.
I just heard you mention about the dog tied to a tree and set on fire. I just held my head in my hands and could not believe that someone could be that cruel to do something like that to a helpless animal. People can't understand why I like pets more than some people. Now you know why. The punishment should fit the crime, do the same to him as he has done and lets see how he enjoys it. I'm all for the animals, I have 3 cats at home that I spoil to the max. They have everything they need and I make sure they get it. I carry a bat in my car all the time because the first time I see an animal locked up in a car in this heat or someone abusing an animal, my bat will go to good use. I thank you for caring for these animals as much as I do. I try to donate to the Linden Animal Shelter as much as I can. These animals need our help and they depend on us to get them a good home. I hope you continue to get these animals the homes they need. If I could, I would adopt them all, but I have an apartment and I'm lucky I can have the 3 cats I have now. Thanks Maria. I love Q104.3 and I listen everday at work and wherever I may be. Love to all the animals out there and find that bastard and set him on fire. Denise Worden
NO WORDS CAN SHOW MY OUTRAGE ON THIS STORY REGARDING THE PIT BULL. ALL I CAN SAY AT LEAST HE DOES NOT HAVE TO SUFFER ANY MORE AND FROM HIS INJURIES.
AS FOR THE PERSON/ANIMAL THAT DID THIS I AGREE THEY SHOULD BE SET ON FIRE TO FEEL THE PAIN!!!
PEOPLE DO NOT GET IT REGARDING ANIMALS. I WATCH ANIMAL COPS AND EVERY STATE AND EVERY TOWN THERE ARE NASTY (BEING NICE ABOUT IT) PEOPLE WOULD CONTINUE TO ABUSE ANIMALS. NOT UNTIL OWNERS ARE HELD ACOUNTABLE FOR THERE ACTIONS LIKE TAKING A HUMAN LIFE THIS WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN.
SOME MAY SAY I'M TAKING IT TOO FAR! NOT REALLY IF YOUR ANIMALS ARE LIKE YOUR CHILDREN I'M NOT TAKING IT FAR ENOUGH.!!! I'M SO TIRED OF HEARING IT JUST A ANIMAL. GIVE ME A BREAK!!!
MARIA- YOU ROCK AND WITH YOUR GOOD HEART MAYBE SOMEONE WILL SEE THIS POSTING AND TAKE ACTION.!!!
I know what it's like to lose a pet. You have my best wishes.
Ron

My cat Myrna died on Sunday (she was nine), Needless to say I'm devastated. I took her to the Nassau-suffold Animal Hospital, they did all they could to save her. Turns out she had liver issues.
I'd like to thank them for their compassion. Her regular Vet is the Park Animal Hospital in Massepequa Park, they were fantastic too.
As sad as I feel, it is a comfort to know there are places like this that really do care. I wish Human doctors were as caring.
Have a great Day!

Did anyone watch the Bret Michaels realty show on VhI last night? I watched some of it . It was very stupid , in my opinon.
Today feel like a Jimi Hendrix kind of day.
Anybody else feel the same way?
Have a great Week.
While I am ranting here it is time to put a limit on the # of cars per household. I know of a person that own 7 cars one for each day of the week WTF you can only drive one at a time so why do you need more than 1 car?
We love that you started this new comments section:)
When we walk around in NYC, everyone is in their own little digital bubble...nobody talks to people face to face anymore...very sad.
Subway phone usage is insane...u cannot hear anyhow with all of the trains going by.

I hope this doesn't come to pass. To me there is nothing more annoying than having to listen to someone else's loud phone conversation while waiting for a train under conditions that are uncomfortable enough already.
As in Heavenly Bliss.
What's he gonna do when Apple comes out with its iSmell module for the iPhone.....hand out gas masks at the turnstyles or nose plugs? :D

my car radio on as I work for the library system in Greenburgh

Did I mention I love you? :)
Sometimes I feel like 104.3 is one of those public radio stations that only have a hand full of CD's.
If I buy you some new Dylan CD's would you play them?
Those same 4 Dylan songs you play are getting old.
The man has recorded hundreds of songs. Why not play some?
Thanks
Ron
