STERN WARNING

Is nothing sacred? In the latest fallout from the Janet Jackson breast-baring at the Super Bowl, radio superstar Howard Stern has been suspended from broadcast by Clear Channel Radio.

What with the release of Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ,” a move toward a constitutional amendment against gay marriage and now this, I can actually feel this country growing closer to God -- well, a Christian God, anyway.

But I’m confused as to why God made Stern and his show -- with its regularly “indecent content” that is just as regularly “vulgar, offensive, and insulting, not just to women and African Americans but to anyone with a sense of common decency” -- so popular, though.
