(1) BonerJoe went from "unfunny" to "pathetic" to "like a lame skunk that finds its way into your bedroom and causes thousands of dollars worth of damage, not counting the hotel money while your house is being fumigated for two weeks, and the fumigators steal your great-grandmother's precious family jewels, and it turns out they've planted the skunk in the first place, and they sue you for cruelty to animals, and win, and take your house, and have you arrested from trespassing, and you get gang-raped in prison, while the guards watch, and you have to wear a diaper for the rest of your life because your anus was damaged beyond repair, and you get AIDS, and they cure AIDS, but you don't get the cure because you're broke, homeless, you have a criminal record, and your ass stinks, which attracts skunks wherever you go, and you die, and skunks chew through your abdomen and eat your liver, and get AIDS, and the government pays for the skunks to get the AIDS cure." Yup, that's BonerJoe.
(2) Podcasts are here to stay. Related new technological trends will include video podcasts (both full video and a common format for time-sensitive vector animations associated with the audio, like in PowerPoint presentations, with hyperlinks and all that), TiVo-like time-shifting that blurs the lines between live broadcasting and archived podcasts, and time-coded audio comments attached to a podcast like text comments to a blog, etc, but, sorry, no smell-o-vision.
(3) "Patriotism" and liberty are mutually exclusive.
