A N***A CAUSES DR LAURA TO RETIRE

So to speak. Dr. Laura Schlessinger announced Tuesday she will not renew her contract that is up at the end of the year, telling CNN's "Larry King Live" she wants to "regain my First Amendment rights."

Schlessinger, 63, has been under fire for using the N-word repeatedly during an on-air conversation last week with a caller.
In announcing her decision "not to do radio anymore" after being in the business for more than 30 years, Schlessinger said, "I want to be able to say what's on my mind and in my heart and what I think is helpful and useful without somebody getting angry or some special-interest group deciding this is a time to silence a voice of dissent."
National furor erupted when Schlessinger used the N-word 11 times in five minutes during a call August 10 with an African-American caller who was seeking advice on how to deal with racist comments from her white husband's friends and relatives. The conversation evolved into a discussion on whether it's appropriate to use the word ever, with Schlessinger arguing it's used on HBO and by black comedians.
Good for her now she can go to satellite radio and be as racist as she wants to be.

I GUESS DR LAURA THINKS ITS OK TO USE THE N WORD ON RADIO

Dr. Laura Schlessinger is under fire for using the N-word on her radio show to make a point...about the N-word.

ABC News reports that Dr. Laura claimed that premium cabler HBO and all the comics they air in programming use it, and it is mainstream and acceptable to many.
Schlessinger replied: "Black guys use it all the time. Turn on HBO and listen to a black comic, and all you hear is n****r, n****r, n****r. I don't get it. If anybody without enough melanin says it, it's a horrible thing. But when black people say it, it's affectionate. It's very confusing.
Hey Dr dumbass snorting cocaine may be mainstream to a lot of people does that mean you are going to do that too?

TAKE YOUR MUSIC TO THE TUB

Having a long soak in the bathtub might be relaxing, but there’s nothing like music to make a good situation better, right? That’s probably what the folks at Idea Label were thinking when they designed the Music Planet, a portable ball-shaped MP3 player that can float in your bath tub. Aside from its stereo speakers, the device certainly seems very useful, especially if you plan to sing while you take a long bath. It’s currently only available in Japan, but you could probably import it, though at $120, it’s not exactly the cheapest device in town, but it certainly seems fun and useful. Specifications of the device include:

FM tuner
Alarm clock
SD/SDHC card support
USB support
Powered by 6 AA batteries
