Howie has talked about going to Florida permanently, so perhaps he will find a gig in FL - the rest of us could probably live stream him.
Fri column ping. btw as I post this it’s 3:40 am and I have Fox News Channel on in background—huge 8.9 earthquake hits off coast of Japan, perhaps the 7th most powerful on record; tsunami has hit Japan and is expected to hit Hawaii at about 3 am THEIR time. Stay tuned.
Public TV beating is must-see

I used to work for Ch. 2. No really, I’m not kidding. Two days a week, way back in 1989.
As soon as I was hired, the Globe began urging all their moonbat readers to withhold some of their contributions to WGBH until I was fired for the terrible crime of uncovering too much about Mike Dukakis’ hackerama.
The Globe’s odd boycott campaign fit in nicely with the very well-balanced front-page series they’d been writing about me and my gang — Poisoned Politics, they called it.
So I was fired off WGBH’s “Ten O’Clock News.” A couple of years later, WGBH was told by the gangsters at the State House that if the station wanted its annual one-day liquor license for their biggest fund-raiser, it would have to get rid of the whole “Ten O’Clock News.”
They canceled the newscast. One thing about these public-broadcasting types — they’re all stand-up guys.
So I’m really enjoying this week’s implosion of NPR/ PBS/CPB or whatever you want to call it. It couldn’t be happening to a nicer bunch of trust-funded, Birkenstock-clad limousine liberals.
What a gig those pampered pukes have enjoyed. When I worked at Ch. 2, they were still using two-man camera crews, years after every other TV station in Boston had cut down to one. Years later, I remember sitting in the WBUR green room and listening to the show — on a Bose Wave radio. Bose!
When Air America started, people asked me, will it succeed? And I always said, why do moonbats need a second network, especially on the rotten AM band, when they already have their own taxpayer funded ultra-left-wing FM network?
Take this guy Ron Schiller, brought down by a couple of palpably fake Arabs. Went to Cornell, naturally, just like his boss Vivian Schiller, and of course Keith Olbermann.
This Ivy League liberal doesn’t mind lumping all Tea Party people together as racists and xenophobes. And he agrees with the fake Arab who tells Schiller that he finds “a little bit less Jew influence” at NPR.
Schiller, the liberal, agrees, adding there are few Zionists “even among funders. I mean it’s there in those who own newspapers, obviously, but no one owns NPR.”
What newspapers could he possibly be referring to? The ones that vehemently support NPR’s First Amendment right to slur conservatives with conservatives’ own tax dollars?
I can’t wait for the next batch of Jim O’Keefe’s NPR videos. Wouldn’t it be a shame if WGBH ends up owned by the dollar-a-holler crowd, you know, the people Schiller calls “seriously, seriously racist.” Takes one to know one, I guess.
