Help Wanted: Shock Jocks

The demise of disgraced radio host Don Imus would appear to create a prime opportunity for some other eager talent to rise up and claim his microphone. But in the troubled radio industry, finding popular new voices to fill the airwaves — and attract advertisers in multiple markets — has become a tough challenge.

CBS Corp.’s CBS Radio, where Mr. Imus was based before his firing last week, was already struggling to fill the void left by Howard Stern, the controversial host who left last year for a lucrative new gig at Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. Even with more than a year to prepare for Mr. Stern’s departure, CBS’s attempts to develop hit shows in his old time slot have fallen so flat that some of his replacements have already been replaced.

Read the whole story

Well you know what? That will happen when you become so politically correct and so freaking ultra sensitive and let the mob push you around.

Imus will be fine, he’ll recover from this with just a hop, skip, and a jump and no real effort. He’ll be fine.

Will this teach CBS and other big corporations to start growing a back bone, or at least some thick skin? Probably not.

Here is a story, from Rome, that should be very disturbing to everyone.

I’m speechless.

Breathtaking and leaves me speechless.

Well, almost…but I will practice restraint of pen and tongue this morning. Instead I’ll direct your attention over to One Big Dog and let him do the talking for me.

Hot Air On Anna Nicole Smith’s Death

Shame on Hot Air.

I used to think they had some class, until THIS thread about Anna Nicole Smith’s passing. There are some ruthless people over at that place.

Are the hits that important to them? Seems the leftists aren’t the only ones willing to sell their soul to the big bad blog.

The Anti-Catholic Edwards

Found this little tidbit over at GOP Bloggers.

Yep, I’m onboard, whole-heartedly, with the new policy of the GOP Bloggers.

Why is it that our liberals just don’t recognise bigotry when they see it? They are looking for racism at every turn - including figuring that the word “articulate” is offensive to black Americans - but something as rank and nasty as Marcotte apparently didn’t even give Edwards and staff pause before hiring her.

Time to put an end to this rising anti-Catholicism on the left, and no place better than with the firing of Edwards’ blogmaster precisely because she is anti-Catholic.

Rudy’s In, I’m Gonna Gag

OK, the headline is a little harsh. I’m not gagging that Rudy’s in, I’m gagging over his wife’s slober.

Listen, I don’t have anything against the man personally, I just don’t want him running as a Republican candidate for the United States Presidency. He’s NOT a Republican!

And what is the fucking deal with showing a sappy kiss on the front cover. Talk about *GAG*. And no, it’s not because I don’t think Giuliani is not a good looking man, he is. It’s the fact that his wifey pooh is on the cover WITH him. Who fucking cares about her?!

Yes, he was America’s hero during the days of 9/11. I absolutely admired the man for this conviction and courage. No one else could have taken it the way he did and then turned around and made America feel safe while the unthinkable had just taken place on U.S. soil. You go Rudy, I love you for that, yes.

However, why is he running as a Republican? I can handle his stance on gun control, even his views on gay rights but when it comes to pro-choice, well, I can’t vote for someone who is pro-choice. However, I do like his views on the war on terrorism. He wrote an article for USA Today back in 2005, that I just stumbled upon, where he talks about the London bombings, how we need to remain steadfast; vigil, and going out there to get the terrorists - stopping them before they get here.

Here’s an excerpt from the article, where I am glad to see Mr. Giuliani understands what it means and what it is going to take to keep America safe -

Finally, Thursday’s attacks demonstrate that we must remain committed to confronting and eliminating terrorism. There are those who assert that the efforts to eliminate terror are somehow provoking the terrorists. That is wrong. The terrorists have been attacking innocent people long before Sept. 11, 2001, or the wars in Afghanistan or Iraq.

This is a good article on America’s mayor running for the presidency.

I don’t really give a rat’s ass about his personal life. We all have something. It’s his liberal views that disturb me. Yes, as a Catholic and as a Republican. He’s no Catholic or Republican in my opinion. But what do I know? I’m just expressing my views and opinions here.

Maybe if Mr. Giuliani could come to Alabama and explain some things to me, convince me why he should be President. Pffft, yeah right. I doubt he’ll even think about the south.

The MSM sure has treated Mr. Giuliani nicely. I wonder how long it will take the press to bludgeon the poor chap.

Asked on the show if he’s “in to win,” Giuliani said, “Gosh, yeah. I mean, that’s the only reason to do it.”

Judi, 52, insisted that when her hubby takes the plunge, she won’t mind playing second fiddle to his political ambitions - and she revealed the famously tough-as-nails former mayor’s sensitive side.

“I’ve always liked strong, macho men, and Rudy - I’m not saying this because he’s my husband - is one of the smartest people on the planet,” gushed the former Judith Nathan to Harper’s Bazaar in editions due out Feb. 20.

“What people don’t know is that Rudy’s a very, very romantic guy. We love watching ‘Sleepless in Seattle.’ Can you imagine my big testosterone-factor husband doing that?”

*GAG*GAG*GAG*GAG*

OK, now that I have improperly gone all over the place with this topic, let me end with this - and I can’t believe I am even THINKING this way but if it came down to McCain vs. Giuliani, well, I’d have to take the G-man; with reservations of course but only because of the pro-choice issue.

Anyway, that’s what I have to say about it today, except I may have to ADD THIS SITE to my favorites.

Animal rights group promises nude protest today

By CHRISTIAN BOTTORFF
Staff Writer

Animal rights activists from PETA are promising to hold a nude protest in downtown Nashville today, even with frigid temperatures currently around 12 degrees.

A protester will be nude and will be “charred” and “cooked” on a grill while slathered with barbecue sauce, the group said in a press release. The protest is against eating meat.

It will be at noon at the intersection of Fourth Avenue North and Church Street, the group said in a news release.

Oooooooooh, if I lived in Tennesse I’d have to take my barbecue lunch with me and watch this one! HA!

If we aren’t ready for a woman news anchor, how are we going to feel about a female President?
