Meet Caiden Cowger: He's a 14-year-old radio host who lives in West Virginia and is a rising star in the conservative movement.

The advertiser exodus from Rush Limbaugh's Impotent Rage Hour radio program hasn't waned during the days following his anti-Sandra Fluke screed. In fact, it's only picked up steam. The latest to jump ship has been Premiere Networks, the company that syndicates the show. So, how many advertisers have left?
Super genius Rush Limbaugh is handling the fallout from Slutgate in exactly the sort of mature, thoughtful, constructive way you'd expect a plagiarizing teen to handle being caught cheating on his homework — by erasing the evidence in a ham fisted manner and hoping that everyone will just forget about it. It seems…
Turns out that nobody's favorite demagogue, Rush Limbaugh, launched a line of signature ties in 1995. The Rush Limbaugh "No Boundaries" tie collection is long out of production, but its — 100% silk! — licensed masterpieces remain widely available on eBay.
It seems that after several days of mounting public pressure, Rush Limbaugh has finally cracked. How else could you explain his attempt to move beyond this whole "hating on young women" debacle by continuing to attack young women? Today's victim? Author Tracie McMillan, who represents another one of those awful…
Rush Limbaugh has pulled the "but I was just joking card," charged it up with his Gambit powers, and hurled it at the national media, issuing an apology to Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke after calling her a "slut" and a "prostitute" in his lilting talk-radio falsetto. Here's Limbaugh's full statement:
The talking butthole that replaced Rush Limbaugh's face decades ago is making sounds again. This time, the sounds are about Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown Law student who was denied the right to testify before a Congressional committee about the necessity of employer-provided birth control. In short, Limbaugh thinks…
New Zealand radio station The Rock got a lot of flak for its plan to give away a divorce on Valentine's Day. But no criticism was as effective as what actually happened — a lesbian couple sabotaged the contest.

A Canadian radio station sponsoring a "Win a baby!" contest has chosen the five lucky couples who will each receive $35,000 worth of IVF treatments, but not before telling them that only one couple would win. Hooray?

One of the DJ's of a Saint Louis morning-show had a high-school girlfriend cheat on him. So here's a solution: encourage other dudes to do "drive-by whorings," shouting insults at women's houses! And no, the recordings are NSFW, life.
The caller who received Dr. Laura Schlessinger's racist rant last week told CNN she doesn't accept the radio host's apology — and did a great job explaining why the apology was bullshit in the first place.
Dr. Laura Schlessinger, who dropped the N-Word 11 times on the radio last week (audio here), just pompously announced on Larry King Live that she's quitting her radio show to "regain [her] First Amendment rights." Inside, video of Schlessinger's announcement.
