ago, he joined the Rotary Club of Casselberry.
He states "I joined Rotary to learn more
about what I could do to give something back
to the community. Carlos was my sponsor." Since
joining, he has been involved in Paint Your
Heart Out (he has participated in the Spring

Our
presenter this week: Bud Hedinger, Talk
Show host at WFLF |
|
|
Bud Hedinger is a radio talk show which
airs between The Rush Limbaugh Show and
The Dr. Laura Schlessinger Program on 540
AM (WFLF) in Orlando, Florida. He is known
as a right wing Republican who according
to the Sentinel, "demonstrates his passion
for George W. Bush through songs like 'God
Bless Our President,'" which he sings on
the air during his radio show.
In contrast with his fervor for Bush,
on the website for his radio show, Hedinger
asserts disdain for Senator Hillary Clinton,
whom he calls "Hanoi Hillary." "THE BUDMAN
URGES YOU TO PROTEST! HILLARY BLASTS BUSH
IN ARAB PRESS INTERVIEW
It should be an interesting talk. Most
wanted from the audience: "Hot" and "topical" questions
without a political bent (tongue-in-cheek).
