Bush Administration Set Aside War, Economy To Pursue Real Agenda...
The real agenda, being, of course silencing Howard Stern.
Rob takes a good shot at this. Go read, then return. I'll wait.
I've always been amused by the minor nuisances who truly believe that they are genuine threats to the established order, and that said order is actively campaigning to silence them. There are people who genuinely believe that the government is monitoring the Indymedias of the world to decide who to ship to Guantanamo. (For the record, I do believe the government monitors these sites. They do so for laughs.)
I'm reminded of a great episode of Dharma and Greg. (No, seriously). Larry, Dharma's hippy father, decides to steal his FBI file so the Man couldn't get him. He was sure they considered him a danger to their repressive society. Problem was, they hadn't considered him at all. He had no FBI file. To humor him, they made one up and arranged to let him steal it.
Lot of Larrys in the world today. All convinced the Man will do anything to silence them. Some of them have talk shows. Some of them just have blogs.
