I do not know if this is a common thing now -- or even if it has become
standard for radio -- but radio station 980AM here in Washington DC will
insert a 15 second delay to accommodate people at home with DVRs. This came
about after they did away with a 30 second 'fuck' delay and complaints came

My only complaint would be that an anonymous post is absurd. It still
remains my primary criticism about the internet -- that so few people
use their real names, or they hide behind the banner of Gawker or TMZ
or the like. Had Joe Schmuck signed his name to the piece about

Excellent. Thanks. My internet connection at home has been reliable
all week. I hope it will last through Saturday night so I can try to

get my faster internet connection next week.

It's on my channel guide as being covered on CSPAN's main channel.
(Also covered "commercial free" on Comedy Central and on their web

Can somebody tell me if C-Span is covering the Stewart/Colbert event?
If so, I believe I'll be able to view the archive on the C-Span
website, but I can't view anything on TDS or CR's websites.

Good point, PG. And with wireless technology becoming more and more
prevalent, I guess the real question becomes, even for Mr. B, not how
