That's high but records are meant to be broken.

This was an allusion to Jack's Invisible Touch. You'll recall that Locke was listening to that after he talked to the phone sex chick. Also, Edge of Night was on when Jack got the word about his dad.

Well, seeing as to how they talked about this for a couple minutes in the episode, there wasn't any mystery in Moriah.

Most guns aren't that complicated to operate Mohambi. Maintenance may require a small bit of knowledge but we're not talking about solving the Rubik's Cube here; loading and firing the average firearm is about as easy as changing toilet paper.

Touche. My point is that this event makes both sides look dumb on gun control. More laws or fewer would have made no difference in this event.

I'd rather have the media focused on those stories than this one.

Turning this into a gun discussion for either side is dumb. College campuses should have a rule banning guns and they do. His Glock was legally purchased. If it hadn't been, he'd have gotten the gun elsewhere. Bad people will always find a way to do bad things. If there wasn't a gun to be found, he would have figured out another way--he was a messed up guy on a mission.

I see a but-for relationship. But for Imus not saying Nappy Headed Ho on the radio, Corzine would be on a golf course right now.

Imus got the Governor of NJ hit by a car and put into intensive care. This guy is a total putz.

If people ignored them, they would fade away. Big difference.

Or a big 0 for censorship and a big 1 for capitalism. CBS fired Imus because the sponsors were bailing and because of pressure from the consumer. Simple as that. IF you don't like the outcome, blame the public pressure.

A poll on here will settle this question once and for all.

All nappy headed hos are happy you accepted the apology on their behalf.

Due process applies to state and federal governmental actors. The NFL is neither. He might make some other (dubious) claim but never a violation of due process.

Imus responds. That's what makes him a spokesman.

You don't get the new model. Stern would welcome Imus. Imus and his loyal (if small) audience would put more $$ in Stern's pocket and bring more subscribers. Remember: he hired Bubba the Love Sponge personally to be on his channel, and that's a guy he hated (in a radio hate kind of way). He's building a new empire and Imus could be a spoke in it. I see Imus joining because of his audience long before Opie and Anthony since they have less following and really no niche.

This morning, in his Imus apology dissection, Stern and his crew said "!@#$" and "kike" about 50 times making fun of Imus. You think Al will call out Stern? Of course not--Stern would take the "get the eff out of my life" attitude. If Imus had just taken the "it's a joke" approach and skipped all the apologies, this would have gone away quickly. He's probably said worse things and for whatever reasons, people seized on this. Now he's digging his hole.

I'll avoid the Imus vs. Howard debate. I prefer Howard and find Imus dull but a few things need correction. The following article is complementary to Imus and estimates his radio audience as a little over 3 million people--and the TV show a few hundred thousand. Maybe Imus feeds the masses that 15-20 million number like Howard believes that all of Sirius's 6-7 million subscribers listen to him (still--probably more than 3.25 million do listen). http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/bra...audience_s.html What Howard did, moving to Sirius and getting them in the game and effectively wiping XM out of people's mind, is impressive. He's the only guy who could do that. Imus would be suited for a satellite move too because his ratings in each market suck but he'd probably bring a loyal following to XM or Sirius if he moved--and thus create revenue for the stations.

A non-racist would say exactly that. So would a guy with balls. Why does Imus have Reverend Al's rooster in his mouth? Answer: he's a coward and probably a racist. Imus's appearance on Al Sharpton's show yesterday is pure radio gold; he's running scared.

Are you talking about Don Imus?

He would never get Howard's money of course but he might be suited for satellite. He has little bits of an audience in a bunch of cities (and no audience in any one city so his ratings suck). He could probably keep his career alive going to satellite but it's hard to imagine he'd make much money doing it. With the exception of Howard, the satellite stations aren't dishing out huge money to talk radio DJs. Sirius has the more talent-oriented lineup so they'd be more likely to bid for him.

Seems like the smartest things he's ever done. When was the last time he was in the news? 1986? His star has pretty much fallen off the map like most of the shock-type jocks except Howard. The only talk show hosts I can think of that are hot right now are: Howard Stern Rush Limbo (ugh) Sean Hannity After that, I'd have to shrug. Maybe Schlesinger... who else? I like some of the Sirius-only personalities (Martha Stewart's daughter and Jennifer Koppelman-Hutt do a great show on Sirius) and Teri Gross on NPR but they are hardly on the national stage.

If they just suspended Imus with no announcement, would anyone have noticed? Kind of like a tree falling in the woods.

Howard did a great line by line deconstruction of Imus's apology today. Imus's apology went something like this (I kid you not). "I was wrong but let me explain. I am not a racist. I make fun of everyone including me. I have black friends. I run a charity that gives money to kids--including black ones. I have dinner with black kids though my charity."

It's not showing on anything but Discovery HD here in Philly. Bummer.
