Shot In The Dark: And Hooters Could Host Graduate Seminars

And Hooters Could Host Graduate Seminars

The link on the Strib Online "Opinion" page said "Stern's show could be so much more".

Howard Stern's show - could be so much more.

I had to read more.

You're kidding about the new Howard Stern, right? Somehow his new uncensored show on Sirius is supposed to be a "New Golden Age of Radio" (Star Tribune, Jan. 8)?

That's right.

I'm also told Stern has declared himself "King Of All Media"; it's his fault!

Nowhere have I witnessed so much potential energy squandered on mindless topics.

True. When Stern hosted "All Things Considered", he was much deeper.

The only offensive thing about Howard Stern's show is his unwillingness to really use his talents. His interviewing skills are engaging and dynamic, and he has a great voice for radio. But instead of tackling tough issues, exploring culture and pushing the limits of the human psyche in leading a new age of human engagement and enlightenment, he has squandered his gifts on adolescent male banter.

Word has it Stern is just biding his time until Terry Gross retires.

The link is days old. Not that that's your fault Mitch.

Since the redesign of that page, it's increasingly harder to find current news. If I click "Local" the news seems to be about a day old. I'm on the road a lot, I rely on the website to keep me updated as to what is going on in Minnesota.

The Main "Opinion" page is quite stale; links all seem to be in the week-old+ range. Not like how it used to be.

Mitch jested: "Word has it Stern is just biding his time until Terry Gross retires."

"Our next guest is Dame Judi Dench. Ooooh, look at that little belly shirt Dame Judy is wearing, Bababooie. So Dame, any lesbianism?"
