Howard Stern On Gay Marriage and Religion
Yesterday, Howard Stern and crew discussed gay marriage and had some interesting things to say about religion. Here’s a clip, and if you don’t know Stern, it is definitely NSFW:

What could be worse then being a candidate for governor in the Georgia Creationist Party? Well if your name is Neal Horsley, it could be admitting this to Alan Colmes:
Absolutely. I [...]
