Jeff Jarvis On Stern: F*cked By The F*CC

Advance.net President Jeff Jarvis has a cover story about Howard Stern and his fight with the FCC on this week’s The Nation. It’s a well written piece reminding us what free speech is all about and how it is all being twisted to suit the needs of a few in the minority.

Jarvis also reveals on his blog that Stern claims to blog under a secret identity. The blogging community will not rest until he’s outed. Of course, Atrios hasn’t been outed yet either. Hmm.

I hosted Christmas for my entire extended family for twenty-seven years and this year I said I wasn’t doing it anymore and my sister asked ‘Why?’ with genuine confusion – and I realized she’d never once considered that it was work, not joy, and that I might be exhausted

I’m 73 and the regrets I carry aren’t about the things I didn’t do — they’re about the version of myself I maintained for so long that the people closest to me spent their entire childhoods and marriages relating to a performance rather than a person, and I’m not sure how to account for that or whether accounting for it at this stage counts as enough
