Reply #36: Actually, he's developing 2 Sirius channels

[Merrick]

full of content in the same vein as his show, much of the cost of which he's footing from his salary.
(for instance one show I'm sure you would absolutely LOVE if you gave it a chance called "Crack Whore View" which is basically like "The View" except instead of four women sitting around jabbering inanely about asanine pop culture garbage it'll feature four authentic crack whores sitting around jabbering about the same crap, so it'll at least be funny)

and don't forget, since waking up to the evil of Bush and the Religious Right, Howard has been a major asset to the left, often using his show to rant against them and promote more progressive candidates even at the cost of sometimes annoying and alienating some of the apolitical knuckleheads who listen.
