Stern Ought to do a Daily Web Video of His Broadcast

I miss watching him spanking women on his show. To hell with radio! Video is king now.

Kind of sad

Not that I'm against spanking women by any means, but it's says something about us that this man is the King of All Media... I'm not sure what exactly, but I have a nagging suspicion it's not flattering.
Oh well, viva la potty humor.

junk

I don't have the money to waste on junk like XM, Sirus, Stern.

Once again...

Again, just like Sirius to take YEARS to catch up with XM. YEARS ago XM had a portable live-content satellite receiver and now they're on their second generation. Sirius is only now getting to a portable unit that isn't pre-recorded content only... wow they reinvented the iPod. YEARS ago XM started their internet only option, and offering it cheaper than Sirius can offer theirs.

It's clear that XM spends money on R&D and Sirius, well, doesn't.
