Imus slouching toward Gomorrah !

I'm against censorship even though I'm fully aware that

    decadent " entertainment " corrupts the soul. I can't avoid brief

    encounters with radio and TV degenerates. I turn on the radio early

    in the morning just to catch the latest news. When I get Imus and his

    friends, I get the impression of hung over amphetamine addicts in a

    sleazy NYC bar who are still babbling idiotically at 5:00 AM. Imus

    is the clearly the leader of the pack -who looks like he can claim

    Viking ancestry, with an inherited propensity to burn places like

    the public library that might inculcate a prejudice against Talk Radio.

               The topics arise as if inspired by the fumes of an underground

    sewer. This morning a staff member  momentarily disappears: " She must

    be picking her nose somewhere. "   And then there are tabloid stories

    to ponder: A man was arrested in a motel while copulating with a farm

    animal. Did you know that most men between the ages of 18 and 40 worry

    about the size of their penis ?

                 What is the secret of the Imus guy ?  Are we as Judge Bork

    puts it " slouching toward Gomorrah "  ? Do we loath the very idea of

    a natural elite ? We dread being reminded of our own intellectual and

    moral inferiority ?

               I miss Walter Cronkite. He was not ashamed of being literate.

    Why is our culture mass producing JUNK-HEADS ? Where is the former glory

    of Western Civilization, the glory that was  Greece and Rome ?

            Slouching toward Gomorrah, indeed !
