....but there are some people I just want to slap and tell to shut up. There are people in Tupelo MS that I want to round up, arrange in a line and just walk down that line....SLAP!....SLAP!....SLAP!
You get the idea.
Some stations want cursing out of '9/11'

NEW YORK - Broadcasters say the hesitancy of some CBS affiliates to air a powerful Sept. 11 documentary next week proves there's been a chilling effect on the First Amendment since federal regulators boosted penalties for television obscenities after
Janet Jackson's breast was exposed at a Super Bowl halftime show.
Why would they think there would be a problem? Could it be this paragraph?
So far, about a dozen CBS affiliates have indicated they won't show the documentary, another dozen say they will delay it until later at night and two dozen others are considering what to do.
On Friday, Sinclair Broadcasting became the latest company to say it was delaying the broadcast until after 10 p.m. on its stations in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Portland, Maine, saying it was concerned it could face fines.
The announcement came as the Tupelo, Miss.-based American Family Association readied its 3 million members to flood the FCC and CBS with complaints after the documentary airs.
I want to scream. I probably would have watched anyway, but now, nothing can stop me from watching!
CBS will show it on Sept. 10 from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. EDT, profanity intact.
The Princess demands that everyone reading this watch as well!
