I love sarcasm

For those of you who don't know, I worked for five years in local radio on-air on three jointly-owned stations. My degrees (undergrad & grad) are in communication, and I have a great affinity for St. Louis talk radio, whether it be the mighty MOX (The Voice of St. Louis, KMOX) or the Cards' flagship, the Big 550 (KTRS). Paul Harris is a vet of both, and he currently hosts the Paul Harris Show weekdays from 2-6 PM on KMOX AM 1120. He also has a blog he updates several times daily at www.harrisonline.com - let me recommend it - it's a great read.

With all that said, here's possibly the funniest yet most bold and truthful blog entry I've read in a long time, again, available at www.harrisonline.com from Friday, February 9, 2007...as you may recall, this is the day Anna Nicole Smith died, just days after NASA astronaut Lisa Nowak went ape and drove in a diaper from Houston to Orlando in a love-induced haze...

"An Apology

Dear Crazy Astronaut,

We're sorry we can't continue to exploit your story any further, but a rich large-breasted stripper has died, and we have to devote all our resources to showing clips of her drunk and speculating on which loser impregnated her last.

Sincerely,
The 24-Hour News Networks and Tabloid Shows"
