Townhall used to feature great content, now it’s reduced to some guy with a satellite radio subscription writing about shock jocks.

I thought it was a good article. Howard Stern is basically a frightened old lady, like the ones in my condo complex who nervously shuffle to the mailboxes in our lobby in their housecoats with masks on while wiping down doorknobs with Kleenex. It is so sad to see.

Ironically I've been a Sirius subscriber practically since it began and yet I've never listened to the Howard Stern station even one time. Last time I heard Howard Stern was on terrestrial radio some 30 years ago. Even then, he was old hat with his sophomoric jokes about breasts and farts. You have to be a 15 year old boy to fully appreciate them.

Stern has always been an insecure boy who never quite grew up. He did have the vision to see how being a "shock jock" could make him famous and rich but it was all just an act. The real Howard Stern is nowhere close to the character you hear on the radio.
