In a strange sort of way, I think the time has come for this country to 
have a leader that's not afraid to call someone an "asshole".  We've spent 
too much time internationally kissing the butts of every third world 
country.  I would start with the UN and while we're at it, serve them an 
eviction notice for back rent...

Wouldn't it be great to see on the 6PM news today...

"In international news today, President Bush/Gore (take your pick) called 
Saddam Hussein an asshole and told him to stop screwing around or we'll 
send his ass back into the stone age..."

Now that's how to get the Gen-Xers back into watching the news!

As long as we're on the subject of profanity on the air, what about what 
the rap stations play as music?  Vulgarity, lyrics glorifying rape, cop 
killing, attacking white people, etc.  Is this a double standard?
