Self-Promotion

In about 45 minutes of radio channel surfing this afternoon, I heard "Doctor" Laura Schlessinger read no less than three listener testimonials praising her latest book, How to Cuckold Your Husband (208 pp., photos). The "Doctor" also promoted her appearance tonight at the San Mateo, California, Barnes & Noble, where she will temporarily capture the title of San Mateo's County least desirable matrimonial partner from the current titleholder, Redwood City's Scott Peterson.

Speaking of self-promotion, at the risk of blowing my own self more than is seemly, I just saw that CNBC made Democratic Underground's latest edition of the Top Ten Conservative Idiots, for its conflict-laden employment of cue card reader Dennis Miller and Republican operative Mike Murphy. This story appeared here on January 19, and was reported by FAIR. My prediction is that Miller's show will be lower rated than much of CNBC's basement-dwelling lineup, and Miller will fade into well-earned obscurity until Tim Kazurinsky sues him for stealing the chimp idea.
