J.C. in the morning

Hubby-Man wakes to J.C. on the radio alarm clock. J.C. has a tendency to say things he shouldn't. Because of that, he changes stations every few years. Wherever he goes, his listeners follow. He may be changing jobs again soon.

This morning he was talking about St. Louis no longer being the gonorrhea capitol of America. (Well, thank goodness for that) He and his crew were discussing how strange it seemed that a medium sized city was, for a while, the gonorrhea capitol. Then he said, "You'll never guess what is the syphilis capitol. It's another unexpected city." Chatter ensued, and they finally got around to the name of the city. It was somewhere in Oregon. From there he read bits from the article about V.D. capitols.
If you heard the whole show, you know he's reading. But if you missed the start, you'd think he was expressing his opinion. I expect he will get a lot of hate mail over this. The article blamed the rise in syphilis on a gay spa. I don't know what he was reading from, but it was borderline derogatory; describing all the stereotypical bullshit about gay men. To give J.C. credit, he did say that articles like that don't do anything to remove stereotypes.
FYI, the number of syphilis cases in Oregon was 47 in 2002. It's not like a pandemic or anything.
