It might have been the heat

A radio station in California's Central Valley switched from Christian evangelical programming to "all sex radio, all the time" last week. FM station KFYE -- 106.3 on your dial -- is based in Kingsburg (map), a tiny town on Hwy. 99 between Visalia and Fresno.

Also in the Central Valley -- where fertilizers, irrigation and geography conspire to make the air some of the most polluted on the West Coast -- candidate for Calif. governor Phil Angelides made a campaign promise to fight pollution in the area. Most affected by the pollution are, of course, poor people, and there are plenty of them there.

And wrapping up news from the valley, Fresno morgues were "swamped with bodies" from people dying of the heat.
