I have to wonder if the religious right really hasn't gone too far. Even Howard Stern has spoken out against Bush recently, saying "I think this guy is a religious fanatic and a Jesus freak, and he is just hell-bent on getting some sort of bizzaro agenda" pushed though Congress. Howard Stern, people. Not that I'm a fan, but I am amused at the notion of Howard's loyal listeners being provoked into voting against Bush-Cheney in November. Amusing.

The Crack Monkeys are circling my head today, their leathery wings flapping in the night. They would like nothing better than if I ran screaming through the corporate offices and upturned the CEOs desk, then perched in the window to fling poo at him. They're funny that way. They've been so veryvery good lately, that they deserve a chance to cause some mayhem. So tempting.

Tru Calling is lame, but Eliza Dushku's cuteness is enough for me to watch it. Does that make me shallow? Didn't think so.

Did I not read a story recently about Howard Sterns show being taken off the air by a bunch of Jesus-Freak network owners who didn't want his filth pollutings Gods Own Airwaves?

Not that I've ever heard Sterns show mind, so I have no idea what the man is about.

And yes, watching Tru Calling just for Eliza is very shallow. But given that something like 3.5 million other people are watching the show, and by all accounts the *only* reason to watch it is Eliza, then I guess you can take some comfort from the fact that you're not the only shallow one. :)

Said the guy who went out looking on the internut for a series of sexy Eliza screencaps last night.

The linked Salon.com article has more information about what happened. In a nutshell, Clear Channel claimed it pulled his show due to content -- but Howard's content hasn't changed. He is a rude, crude, outspoken shock jock. What has changed is his public opinion on BushCo; recently he has made anti-Bush statements on-air.

Clear Channel's ownership and the Bush family are old friends, so Howard claims his show was pulled for political reasons. He's the last guy you'd expect would get pulled for such reasons, which is why the whole debate has my interest.

PS: I'm trying to change my link color to something more obvious.

Ah, right. I'd missed there was a link there. Sorry. My bad.

Heh. Freedom of speech. Freedom of press.
