Probably some other idiot who can’t shut up. I bitterly resented it when my favorite radio station replaced its music morning show with that blathering halfwit, and I’ll be delighted to see him go down. God help me, the man is BORING! It’s like being cornered at a wedding by the uncle who tells dirty jokes when he gets drunk (unlike the uncle, however, I can turn Howard off; that doesn’t put the music back on the air, though). There’s some hope that he’ll be replaced by a local, which won’t be so boring and may have some music from time to time, but I doubt it. The trend is always DOWN. ---

Howard Stern RULES!! I don’t know. When he goes off the air I’ll probably invest in one of those xfm(?) radios things because if I’m not listening to him I’d rather be llistening to music which is damn near impossibe to find durring the morning drive time. ---

The General Questions forum is for questions with factual answres. This is a sort of survey, so I’ll move this thread to the In My Humble Opinion forum. bibliophage moderator GQ ---

Its a poll… an opinion. Anyway, I found Howard somewhat amusing. Sucks that he’s going down thanks to a couple seconds of Jackson’s chest. ---

It’s a poll, because there is no single factual answer. That is, each person answering the question may well have a factual answer, but it applies only to themselves. _What is the boiling point of water in degrees centigrade at sea level on Earth?_ That’s a question with a factual answer - no matter who you are, the correct answer is 100. I might answer your question with “NPR.” Someone else may say that they’ll just listen to CDs. A third person may name a local morning DJ in their city. When different people can provide different true answers, it’s probably not a GQ. - Rick ---
