You tell them, Bill!    The best journalism and "the most popular" media personalities ask the blunt probing questions.   I like Howard Stern.  I used to even find him sexually attractive even though he seems to be a homophobe.  I have to catch my Sirius radio signal after New Years so I can hear what "unregulated radio" is going to be like.     Randolfe (Randy) Wicker   Videographer, Writer, Activist Advisor: The Immortality Institute Hoboken, NJ http://www.randywickerreporting.blogspot.com/ 201-656-3280     ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Streeter To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, November 22, 2005 6:21 PM Subject: [videoblogging] Re: "How Old is Dick Cavett?" Yeah, no shit. Howard Stern has been doing that for like 20 years. Nothing "new media" about it.
