It's about time somebody pulled this
useless piece of crap off the air.
It only took about 10 years too long.
He's the poster boy for no talented,
useless celebrities.
And how the HELLL does one company
own 1,200 radio stations ?
It's a shame to see this country declining so rapidly.
Nothing makes any sense anymore.

Mr. Zardus,
Your strident, over-the-top writing reminds me of The Steve Allen Show
in the early fifties when Steve did a late show eventually taken over by
Jack Paar, then Johnny Carson. Steve's shtick was like Ernie Kovacs'
early morning show then here in Philadelphia in the old Walnut Street
studios at Channel 3, an NBC affiliate. Steve asked his audience one
night, "What if the letters to the editor at newspapers were read in the
same angry tone in which they are written?" Then he proceeded to read
letters to the editor in angry tones, threatening, banging his fists on
the table to emphasize a point, you get the picture. When I read your
posts, I always am reminded of him doing this bit. You put so much
energy into your opinions.

Rochester, New York; Louisville, Kentucky; San Diego; and Pittsburgh.
