SAN NARCISO, Calif. (Bennington Vale Evening Transcript) -- President Obama honored the 12th anniversary of 9/11 this Wednesday during a solemn memorial service in which he remembered the 3,000 victims who perished during al Qaeda's September 2001 terror plots in New York and D.C., but then forgot them moments later by indirectly urging public support for a U.S. strike against Syria to "defend our nation" against enduring threats, though different than the ones faced by the nation in 2001. Analysts warn that U.S. involvement in Syria could reignite anti-American sentiment among militant Islamic terror groups.

SAN NARCISO, Calif. (Bennington Vale Evening Transcript) -- Local radio station KCUF 108.7 FM apologized today for what owner and operator Wendell “Mucho” Maas called a regrettable error in judgment during Sunday’s 16-hour broadcast to commemorate the national tragedy of September 11, 2001. It’s not the first time Maas has been chastised for questionable on-air antics. KCUF was shuttered in 1972, following a disturbing, confusing and impossible-to-describe incident involving Maas’ LSD-fueled rant about a conspiratorial postal service operating against the government. In 1987, the station was resurrected by Mr. Maas himself, along with support from key city council members and a team of angel investors.

During the early morning talk show “Pitches for Bitches,” which runs Mondays from midnight to 4:00 a.m. and offers dating advice to clumsy and lovelorn bachelors from hosts B Wack Cubed (a.k.a Lil Chuyblanca) and Nugget Funk DJ Scratch, Maas took over the mic and issued a public statement of contrition.
