Roseanne Barr's show has gone off the air again.

The comedienne broadcast the final edition of her "Roseanne Talk Live" radio show for KCAA 1050 AM on Friday.

She started the show, which aired from 5 to 6 p.m. on weekdays, on March 15.

Station officials said Barr pulled the plug on her show.

"She needed a rest and went off to Hawaii," said Todd Rowan, the station's sales director.

He said for now the show is on temporary hiatus.

The Emmy-winning actress, who previously starred in her own top television show, broadcast her weekday radio gig with sidekick Johnny Argent from Las Vegas, where Barr was performing a show.

KCAA's studios are in the Carousel Mall in San Bernardino.

"Play some blues because we're sad," Barr said in the opening moments of her final show. Sidekick Johnny Argent obliged, playing a blues riff on a keyboard.

"Better to quit before we get fired," Argent joked.

Barr had no qualms about tackling controversial issues on her show, from religion to homosexuality to the war in Iraq. Sometimes, she battled critics and other times fielded calls from supporters.

"If we could put all those differences aside and just join up together, I mean it would be like the mightiest roar that would set this country straight again," Barr said on her final show.

On her personal Web site, Roseanneworld.com, the comedienne blogged about her final radio shows.

She talked about interviewing guests such as Noam Chomsky, Gore Vidal, Maxine Waters and Christopher Hitchens.

"These shows took alot(sic) of my time and energy, and are well worth a listen," she wrote.

"There is some truth for you in these shows, if you are looking for it," she continued.

KCAA has filled Roseanne's time slot by expanding "Extreme Reality Check" with Tim Burke for another hour.

The station has also added another show to its lineup. Brian Oxman, Michael Jackson's former lawyer, has a new show called "Insight with Brian Oxman." It is running from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. on weekdays.

I wasn't even aware that she had a talk show the first time. Can we count it as a victory against leftism if nobody knows we won? Sounds like she had less listeners than Air America Radio.

Is Hawaii the new code word for booby hatch?

I had no idea either. Doesn’t sound like I was missing much.

If I ever hear her voice or Rosie O’Donnell’s, the radio or tv goes off. Same with Hillary Clinton’s voice. They are all like fingernails on a blackboard to me!

In other words if everyone would just become a flaming liberal like me, all would be well.

Good riddance to the female “Penguin”

Oh, please don’t tell me, Rosie and Roseanne are in Hawaii to sacrifice themselves to the Goddess Pele. No wonder the burping and rattling from Kilauea!

Folks who use “alot” as she did in her statement are a pet peeve of mine. One more reason to detest this brainless twerp, I suppose.
