Forgot this..

Full disclosure: I created that blog. My only regret was not capturing more of the messages. My favorite was when they misspelled Republican as “Republician”.

That Bob Herbert essay is excellent – thanks for linking.

I am unspeakably depressed by Mancow’s continued employment, esp. given that many of my friends are dealing with cutbacks and layoffs. He handled the morning show for a popular station in KC when I was growing up, and although I was young I will NEVER forget the day he made jokes about prostitutes being murdered (not, like, generally, but in reference to actual crimes that had recently occurred in the area).

Fucker.

This is interesting. The strip club that advertises on that site – Shotgun Willie’s is well known and popular place here in Denver (eh, so I’m uh…told). Anyway, the place appears to be operated by an unabashed Right Winger who used the prominent marquee outside the club to pass on his/her opinions on the SOCIALIST NIGHTMARE OF OBAMA during last fall’s election. Nothing necessarily wrong with that (opinion expressing), but the dichotomy of a strip club (!) being the mouthpiece for a member of the party who allegedly owns virtue has just too many hilarious angles to be ignored. Denver’s press however, lacking the kind of sensational rags that say New York has, passed on spotlighting the phenomenon and slept on the treasure trove of possible headlines (and likely Drudge-like magnetism it could have provided).

Take a look at this (very) short lived blog for photographic evidence of the uplifting messages from Shotgun’s:

@Thierry: It would certainly be a more apt name.

“Angina”? Also, count me as mildly disappointed that the weekday format isn’t called The Hole.

It’s always heartwarming when talented comedy writers get work.

Also, i’ve been to a few performance venues like this station aims to represent and i have no clue what “bareback” is in that context.
