**CONTENT WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS A WORD THAT ALL OF US USE AT SOME POINT IN OUR LIVES BUT IS SO VULGAR IT CAN DESTROY CAREERS AND RUIN NETWORKS**

Well, now that UConn and Maryland made it through the first round I thought I could relax a bit. But then I read how the decency police have decided to go after Howard Stern for something he said, what, every day? (trying to find specific details about this.)

And Bono is in fact "indecent" for saying "this is fucking brilliant" -- at the Golden Globes last year? Count how many times in a day you or someone you know says "fuck" -- either as a verb, noun or adjective. And then imagine how often our "esteemed" representatives in Congress use that word on a daily basis. Then ask yourself have we all lost our minds?

Because the problem, according to our chief of decency Michael Powell, isn't the use of the word 'fuck." It's the "gratuitous use" of the word. My question: who the fuck decides what's gratuitious or not? Or is Powell saying that as long as it's not gratuitous, it's okay to use? I'm so fucking outraged my head is spinning. (that's not really true so I guess that would be...gratuitous of me (as she shakes her head in disgust).

What's next? If we can't say it over the air, we sure can't say it in print, now can we? When are they going to figure out a way to come after us? 'Cause they're coming -- it's just a matter of when.
