I think those FCC idiots are missing the point: Stern wasn't indecent; he was trying to provide a public service. It was a funny bit. Honest to god.

I was listening to the Howard Stern show this morning as he repeatedly compared Bush II and his court to the Taliban in Afghanistan. At first I thought it was a bit of a stretch but Stern convinced me he was on target. Not that that required much. And if Stern is indecent, but the Nick and Jessica Variety Hour isn't, something is so off kilter in this country that I'm worried we'll be responsible for causing the planet to fall off its axis and spin ourselves into oblivion.
