On my way home from work, I listen quite a bit to Pete Domanick's show on XM. I think he has a most interesting stable of guests and allows caller questions and it's a pretty good show. Sometimes, he interrupts callers way too much, but other than that, things are fine.

Unfortunately, I missed the show on Thursday, where Rick Sanchez of CNN decided to call Jon Stewart a bigot. That line got a "Whoa." from Pete immediately, as it should, given that Stewart was his old boss. But then Sanchez decided to utter the old, tired line, "The Jews run the media." Well, that resulted in Sanchez getting fired by CNN. And, let's face it, his primetime run was ending and the timing may not have been better.

(As an aside, one of the few times I've seen Sanchez recently was when he was front and center with the Laura Schlessinger N-word story. He kept tripping over the "NAACP". He could not say it correctly and kept trying. And trying. And trying. So much so, it ruined the story because you're laughing at him.)

So, here we have this uncommonly good political show on satellite radio that no one knows of, and now everyone has at least heard of it. Just in time for Pete's new CNN show that debuts on Saturday at 2:30. Funny how things work.

Matt Dillon is suing over "Crash" profits. Wants a $100,000. Seems light.

Arnold moves to decriminalize marijuana in California. So, I guess people will be loadin' up the truck and movin' to Beverly. Hills, that is.

Today's idiot. Epic.

Stephen J. Cannell died yesterday. Responsible for three of my all-time favorite shows: "Rockford Files", "The A-Team" and "Wiseguy". You always saw him at the end of the program. Note how that office changed over the years.

It rained most of the day at the Ryder Cup. Too bad the USA's raingear wasn't exactly rainproof. They had to buy new gear straight from the merchandising tent.
