  • Have You Lost your F**ing Mind?

    There are two items in the news, not related to the MLK remembrances, that I want to address in this post. The first has to do with the suspension of on air personality Randi Rhodes. Ms. Rhodes has been suspended for calling Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro “f***ing whores” at an affiliate event in San…
