Controversial radio host Howard Stern will move his show to Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. in 2006, in an expensive gamble for the fledgling satellite broadcasting service. Terms of the five-year deal weren't disclosed, but Sirius said it would spend $100 million a year to produce the show, including Mr. Stern's salary. Mr. Stern's contract with Viacom Inc. expires at the end of 2005. Mr. Stern's show corners the radio market among males 18-49 years of age and ranks No. 1 in many of the 46 major markets where his show is broadcast. "It has been my dream to have the...

Can someone please tell me what the meaning of the wearing of pajamas to protest in is? I just don't get it. Thanks :)

NEW YORK -- Bruce Springsteen, who once bemoaned the television wasteland in his song "57 Channels," offered some fresh criticism of the small screen and its political coverage: enough with partisan politics and "Fear Factor," let's focus on the facts. "Things are distorted by ratings and by money to where you're getting one hour of the political conventions," Springsteen says in an interview for the Oct. 14 issue of Rolling Stone magazine. "No matter how staged they are, I think they're a little more important than people eating bugs." The New Jersey rocker also offered harsh words for the Bush...

The Southeastern Conference's supervisor of officials says the crew working the Tennessee-Florida game erred in handling the clock. That allowed the Volunteers more time on their final drive Saturday night, which ended with a game-winning field goal. The mistake occurred when Florida receiver Dallas Baker was called for unsportsmanlike conduct after DeShawn Wynn was stopped on a third-down run with 55 seconds left in the game, with the Gators leading 28-27. After the penalty, the officials placed the ball on the ground and began running the clock on the snap for Florida's fourth-down punt. But SEC official Bobby Gaston said...

Testing, please ignore.

George W. Bush is a lesson to us all. He tells us that no matter how stupid, ignorant, or greedy you are, you can get the most powerful job in the World. That drives me.. Take Kyoto. A global agreement to lower gases that have created global warming and weather instability. George, my hero, is the only leader in the World to say that he would have nothing to do with this agreement. There's ignorance! The poor people of Florida are currently feeling the consequence of this, but hey, there's money at stake here. Take stupid....The evil man (Osama) who...

Michael Moore's movie Farenheit 911 is most like going to be nominated at the oscars for best picture, directing, and cinemtography. I hope people will boycott the oscars for nominating a hateful movie. It would be like the anti-reagan movie The Reagans getting nominated

Will Dick Cheney step aside tonight? Did anyone else hear this rumor?

I enjoy this forum, but lately I've noticed a troubling tendency for posters here to descend into horrible and immature name-calling. Such name-calling, and extremism without reason does nothing but harm our cause. It turns off casual lurkers and readers of this forum. It provides fodder for this forum to be demonized and non-respected elsewhere. Below I provide a few examples. I call on Freepers to stop using such terms voluntarily. If that doesn't work, I call on the moderators to warn, if not censor, posters who use such terms. I realize that Democratic Underground uses even more ridiculous terms...

The Jewish Task Force not too long ago endorsed President Bush for re-election. Yet here on FR their article are banned. JTF.org on at their site have these headlines Fighting to save America and Israel from Islamic terrorism! Fighting to save America and Israel from "Hanoi John" Kerry! What is so extreme about that? JTF is critical of Bush, but their is nothing wrong with CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. They are wise enough to endorse Bush, because he is the lesser of 2 EVILS. There are many conservatives,libertarians, and Independents who are disappointed in both parties. Many conservatives out their are now...
