Smoron or Wiser
Today our little friend Carmen informs us she was born Wiser.
Wiser? WISER?!! Hardly, little lady. We all know you were born Smoron.
Of course, this is all coming to us from our resident genius, Scott Stantis. It turns out Scott is also some sort of cultural historian. He has actually pinpointed the Fall of Polite Society to "somewhere between 'Beavis and Butthead' and Howard Stern."
Well-done, old boy. Good show.
Let's break it down...
Howard Stern's radio show began national syndication in 1986 and ran until 2005, when he went to satellite radio.
"Beavis and Butthead" was on the air from 1993 to 1997.
So the period "between" Stern and Beavis is 1986 to 1993.
There you have it. According to our Moral Superior on the Right, our culture became "coarse" and we "lost our manners" "somewhere between" 1986 and 1993, which included two years of Ronald Reagan and four years of George (Herbert Walker) Bush.
And somewhere Lenny Bruce is swearing...FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE.

Are you telling me that all of this occurred after the productive PMRC sessions? I find that hard to believe, CJo.
