Why do people think that Stern should have something to say? He's a comedian... why is that so hard for the blunt of mind to comprehend. Vote Bush out of office. Donate to Kerry.

Stern was fined for a July 2001 broadcast. Insane. This is the religious right hijacking our government, pure and simple. It is all politics and the Bush camp of religious zealots really goofed big by messing with Stern. Watch and see...

I must be missing something, all I see is a post supposedly written by a gecko about his latest ads.

Is there some point to the post?

I refuse to believe that anyone is so obtuse.

The thing that I find interesting about callers who make comments like this (there are a few here and there on the Stern show, I'm a listener) is how stupid they sound to anyone with a decent set of values in the first place. I heard this comment yesterday and actually laughed out loud, but more because of how retarded the caller made himself look than because of the nature of the comment. Still, I'll laugh at an ethnic joke (caucasian, too) every time, if it is a funny joke.... [more]

were some local Oregon car dealer ads that were actually nicely produced that featured a chimp as a car security device to much hilarity

Sadly, every local market has these... We had them in Ohia last year. Let me guess. Chimp in trunk, hops out and bashes someone with a lead pipe or a tire iron. The real mystery is not the local market where these originated, but how the meme spread to other local markets and why/how small dealers latch onto these ideas.

I, for one, am sorry to hear that it was an act... if indeed that is the case. I rather liked the idea of this guy walking around the planet. I'd be his friend. Sure beats the hell out of most of the phony people you meet... but now I hear he is a phony too. Damn. I'm going back to bed.

cute drawings, yes. but what are they really, except cartoons without characters, plot or humor?

You have to bring something to the table on this one. Besides, it isn't about a long drawn out plot. It seems to be about implied plot with the image + the quirky title. Very subtle, but very good.

First off, The Great Satan is a killer name. It really grabs your attention.
So lemme get this straight yeah. The courts don't have the resources to promptly process many criminal cases, which is surprising given those incessant calls for the DC sniper be arrested.

Secondly, D.C. Sniper would be a great name for a band.

At least I've heard of Bryan Adams. Who is Ryan Adams? In other news, Cheyene Adams in mix up at BMV that causes huge gaggle in line resulting in hour long delays. Local restaraunt "Fryin' Adams" files suit against several muscians for copyright infringment.

Some drugs helped a "friend" of mine. Some made him into a slobbering zombie. Some therapists are asses, and some are very inspiring. Reasearch and self-education are always a good thing, as is tolerance- let the well tolerate the ill, and the ill tolerate their inability to understand. Finding an agreeable form of spirituality and personal meaning can help, even if you are not religious at all. In fact, becoming at peace with a lack of spirituality can be empowering too.... [more]
