OK, I didn't build my entire day around it, but I did catch Howard's farewell speech this morning on his last terrestrial radio broadcast and it was some damn fine oratory- "the last of a dying breed" is right. America is a poorer place for having public airwaves that are now Howard-less; that said America will be a much better place when Howard is running wild and sticking it to the man on Eh- Eh- Eh.

To suggest that God is very, very angry with us is a profound understatement...
