(Jeez, how I miss the Joe Pine show)

You're revealing your age. Joe Pine could insult your mother, you and the horse you rode in on before the first commercial break.

I always thought the poor souls who came on his show were masochists. On second thought, most were idiots.

Joe Pyne -- yeah, I first saw him on a ward TV at Walter Reed in 1966 when I came back from Vietnam. He was on Sunday nights and the first show I saw was funny. The second was a little tedious, and by the third, I was wishing I was in a tiger cage in deepest Tay Ninh province. I was confined to the "dirty ward" so there was no walking out on his rants on UFOs, JFK killers, etc. Ol' Joe was the original tin-foil hat and was far more analogous to a black&white Jerry Springer than the likes of Rush or Savage.

I was in high school when Joe Pine was on in central Iowa. This had to be about 1966 or so.
