Although I'm amused Seacrest lumped social conservatives, Republicans, Christians, and the retarded all together.

Very good post and very good zinger at the end. Well done.

How long would you last at your job if you regularly and openly referred to these folks as Tards, or Retards?

As long as it took for the program director to have you escorted from the property.

Let's see, I've worked here 5 years so one could safely assume I obviously don't regularly and openly refer to the participants in derogatory terms.

People do funny things, developmentally disabled people do funny things. I can laugh at everybody equally and am ok with that.

So I guess asking someone to not refer to these folks in derogatory terms on a website isn't so far out of line after all.


I hope they and there parents are OK assuming that you don't EVER refer to them by those terms.

Actually, they arent just like regular people...and thats the point. If they were just like regular people they wouldnt be called challenged, handicapped, pr special needs.
Yo of all people surely must realize this, since you work with them and all...

Back to the point at hand:

If you miss Murph; then you're an idiot. Listen to any podcast you already have of Murph every day from 12-2; and you will notice something:

It will be just like he was on the air. Same show, done over and over and over again. Same stupid sound drops, same stupid arguments, same interruptions during interviews. Doesn't matter what time of year it is; or what sport you are talking about, Murph would find a way of shoehorning the Cubs into the conversation.

Now, that being said; can the show improve? Yes. Mac, get Speigs to shut up just a bit. He talks way to fucking much for his name NOT to be Danny Mac. It's your show, drive it.

You're right the developmentally disabled, across all spectrums of diagnoses, are completely different entities than you and I. Thanks for clearing that up.

Murph had more listeners than any other show on WSCR.
He was the #1 rated show on the Score.
I enjoyed his show, & would gladly listen to Murph again for 2 hours instead of Mac & Meat...because Spiegel is ruining Macs show.

Murph had fans, I have trouble wrapping my mind around that fact, but it's true, he did have fans... so for someone to say that they miss murph is understandable. However... for someone to say that they miss hamp and holmes is something I cant understand, that was one of the most miserable radio shows I have ever listened to, and the fact that it existed should be erased from all of our minds...

There is no proof that Obama was born in Hawaii.

So far the proof that Obama wasn't born in the USA is the lack of a Birth Certificate.
