National news

I've seen them on a winding two lane highway with my mind racing in nano seconds, so as to avoid a direct hit, while they stand their ground as if it's some territorial rite of passage. One moment they are grazing at the road's embankment, and then with the stealth of a roadrunner, but clumsy first step, much like a newborn elephant trying to stand after birth, they make that daring dart across th

Stop the presses!  Cancel all previously scheduled activities!  Use a sick day!  Mark your calendar! A day like no other day is about to make landfall.  A cultural event so stimulating that even your family and friends will be envious if they don't participate. It's not such a big deal in Arizona, Rhode Island, or Oregon, but nothing says...

After all this time, some closure. The Department of Defense has announced the remains of an East Texas serviceman, missing since the Vietnam War, have been finally been identified and will be returned to his family for burial with full military honors. Air Force Capt. Clyde W. Campbell is from Longview.

Woof...Woof...Woof... That's your mutt saying thank you for thinking of him on June 22.  Why?  Because it is National Take Your Dog To Work Day!

Been to the gas station recently?  Prices are looking "swe - e - e - e - et"!

Jack Osbourne, son of Black Sabbath and solo career legend Ozzy Osbourne, has revealed that he has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The 26-year-old Osbourne, who only weeks ago became a father for the first time, has vowed to fight the disease: “‘Adapt and overcome’ is my new motto.”

With all of the local events, festivals, gatherings and concert tours that Q107 keeps you posted on, it's easy to miss out on special occasions from time to time. Don't forget Father's Day is this Sunday, June 17th!

Just witnessed an astonishing statistic that not only dates me as being a dinosaur, but also increases my anxiety threshold by a factor of 500. Listening to the Q107 music library, you may remember companies like Tower Records and Licorice Pizza; teen hang-outs during your adolescent days of growth?  Heck, Fast Times at Ridgemont High was my life.

Talk about the morbid fascination that still follows the "King" almost 35 years after his death! I guess since you can't buy a retro lunch box, a "Burnin' Love"'45, or a "Blue Hawaii bobblehead", you can now invest in the collectible crypt! That's right, the Elvis burial site that Presley temporarily housed before being eternally laid in his final resting place, can b

We all know as responsible adults, that "drinking and driving" don't mix.  With the digital age in full force, not only are we hearing that "driving and texting" don't mix, but, it may not be too terribly long before Texas lawmakers sound the battlecry that if you send a message to a known driver, you may be held liable for your actions, in the event a disaster occurs on the re

For Bono, being a legendary rock star monster took longevity and staying power.  Becoming  filthy rich took only 24 hours.  In case you were not aware of  Bono's extra-curricular activities away from being associated with one of history's greatest musical troupes (U2), he is co-founder of  "Elevation Partners".  An investment fund that just elevated his holdings stake to potentially wort
