Big news? No. Will I miss them? Not really. But I felt it was worth posting to demonstrate again the power wielded by special interest groups. This was an irreverent show that made fun of a lot of types of people but there's some things you just can't say on the radio and, apparently, the "w-word" is now one of them.

I used to call canadians “Snow Bellies”. No one seemed to mind.

Not to mention the "r-word," the "p-word," and the "x-word."

Seriously: I read the hyperlinked article, and still don't know what they (and you) are talking about!

What is the "w-word?"

Regards,

when I grew up, people from NC were known as “tarheels”. Wonder if that is now a hate word?

As great as a radio man as Cactus Prior was, his sons Paul and Don were not able to inherit their dad’s skill for radio.

First, his son Paul was given a talk radio show of his own but due to his drug habit, the junkie radio host was fired.

And now Don finds himself off the air due to a dumb mistake.

How is the term wetback racist? The term was coined from people who swam the Rio Grande river as opposed to getting here legally. Are illegal aliens now a race?

And to think that the Leviathan had a program called “Operation Wetback” just about 50 years ago. Speaks volumes about how divided and degraded the country has become.
