Tribute to Omaha Steve on The Rick Smith Show today
You have all seen our beloved Omaha Steve post his 2 minutes in labor history from the Rick Smith Show
Turns out that Omaha Steve and Rick Smith are friends. Rick read what Steve posted last week and gave a beautiful tribute to Steve on his show today
The entire show is great, talking about the Pennsylvania bill to rob people of their pension, the TPP and other important things.
But the best part is the tribute to Omaha Steve. Our Omaha Steve
The tribute starts at about 50 minutes in.
Here's the link to The Rick Smith website for the show today

Thank you, Omaha Steve. You make our lives better. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself with us. We're all grateful that you are taking each day as it comes and sharing yourself on the days you are able
How sweet. :whatever:

I think that OS should run for a political office. :tongue:

My favorite part of that tribute was the last line:
'Keep stealing from the taxpayers, comrades!', followed by a rousing chorus of the Internationale.

Rick Smith seems to think that he is a real hard guy, he's from the streets just like nads.
In 2005, The Rick Smith Show stepped into a local radio world devoid of progressive talk. Rick took his straight shooting no nonsense Teamster outlook to the air and started mixing it up with conservatives from one of the reddest areas north of the Mason Dixon line. His show grew steadily, attracting listeners starved for a voice that spoke to working stiffs who felt the economic floor crumbling beneath them.
Five years after the start of his weekend program, Rick moved to new time slots and new stations. His show now airs Monday-Friday 9pm-12am on several stations across the state of Pennsylvania where he offers hard truth and commentary with a unique blend of clear-headed, gruff analysis and bemused observation. Lest things get too serious, he spices things up with a laugh or two.
Rick comes by his outlook honestly. He grew up in the projects of Cleveland, ducking local gangs while doing paper routes and odd jobs to help feed his family. After high school, he went out on his own, driving 18 wheelers as a proud union member. Nowadays, Rick, a father of three, is working on a Masters. He feels the calling to spread the word about the desperate needs facing workers, and to make the world a better place for kids growing up in what is becoming an America of rich and poor.
Rick believes somebody has to wake up the American working class to engage in the democratic process, but not in the corporate-funded Tea Party fashion. He has the rough edges and the grit of a Teamster; he’s a street talker, but a street talker with charm.
