Jim Sharpe is doing radio at KFYI for the third time. You would think that station management would have learned its lesson by now, but apparently not.
Jim left KFYI the last time to explore a career in political consulting and public relations.
But working in politics was all the motivation he needed to return to the crazy, super-competitive, dog-eat dog grind of doing a daily radio show.
Jim has spent more than 25 years broadcasting in places as small as Page, Arizona and as big as Los Angeles, California.
During that time, he put himself in some bad situations and won some great awards. Those awards include Arizona AP Reporter of the Year for 2006 for his coverage as an embedded reporter in Iraq.
While in Iraq, he survived a roadside bombing while riding in a convoy north of Baghdad. Jim also rode out Hurricane Andrew and the Northridge Earthquake in L.A. while on the air.
Jim grew up in Northern Arizona, spending a good chunk of his early years living on the Navajo Indian Reservation, where his stepdad worked at a coal mine.
Eventually, his family moved to Page, Arizona just off the Navajo Nation.
The summer between his sophomore and junior years of high school, Jim started working at the local radio station in Page, where he was the night dj and did play-by-play for the high school teams.
After high school, Jim did radio in Flagstaff while attending Northern Arizona University. The political science degree he was pursuing would take a back seat to his radio career when he was offered a much better-paying radio job in Spokane, Washington.
That was the start of a lap of America for Jim. From Spokane, He went on to do radio in Albuquerque, Reno, Tucson, Phoenix, Omaha, Dallas, New Orleans and Los Angeles.
After spending three years hosting a morning show in L.A., Jim came back to Phoenix, where he hosted the number one rated show in the state, Arizona�s Morning News for several years.

Passive-Aggressive News Anchor, Meteorologist Snipe At Each Other On Air
MEOW! Amazing Life 24-7 brings us this amusing video. On Sharpe In The Morning, we're not big fans of conflict, but there's something strangely satisfying about watching these two women poke at and insult each other. You'll get a chuckle from it too . . .

AZ Congressman Proves Rocks Sink
A lot of scientists are liberal - not as liberal as Congressman Raul Grijalva - but liberal nevertheless. And most scientists are pretty smart, but the congressman really is not. And he proves it in a YouTube video. Rather than describe or explain it, we'll just invite you to watch it . . .

Who Knew? Chinese First Lady Is A Glamour Queen
Chinese president Xi Jinping recently visited central America, and his glamorous wife, Peng Liyuan, stole the show. We think the soprano songbird really is a looker. What do you think?
Oh, and their daughter, Xi Mingze, isn't hard to look at either . . .

Remembering Those We Can't
Memorial, remember, memory. Those words all have the same root. And they all involve conjuring up an image of someone or something we have seen with our own eyes or have been told about and created an image of in our brain.
On this Memorial Day, I would like you to consider memorializing someone you have never seen and never heard of.
When I was 11 years old, we moved to the Navajo Nation. It was the 1970s and just a few short years had passed since it was revealed to the world what the Navajo Code Talkers did in World War II. Almost three decades passed before their secret could be revealed.
Now, I would like you to consider how many soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines - and even those who worked to keep our country and Liberty safe while not wearing a uniform - never had their stories told. There could be many reasons why we don’t know their stories: the clandestine nature of their work; the fact that their work was so successful that their methods remained operational even after their particular conflict ended; or, simply, no one was there to witness their heroism except their Creator and their story was lost in the mists of time.
On this Memorial Day, I know the names of many great men who gave their lives in service to the United States and its ideal of Liberty. I pay honor and tribute to them. But I will also take a moment today to conjure up an image and a prayer for the souls and families of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice - who I never heard of and never will.
God Bless them and God Bless the United States of America.
