Thanks...one of the articles linked, 
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/232620/imus_hires_top_notch_first_amendment.html
was rather amusing. It makes a big deal about Imus' First Amendment 
rights, which were never violated. But the funny thing was the writer's 
assertion that the *FDA* "regulates all on-air content."

Really???

Silly me. I was under the impression that the government *could not* 
regulate broadcast content, and certainly did not do so in the Imus 
case. But, I'm not a world-famous First Amendment Lawyer, so how would 
little ol' me know??? ;-) And I have a hunch that the Food and Drug 
Administration would be surprised that they'd been given jurisdiction 
over shock jocks...
