    "Cousin Joe" makes an interesting point, that there's never been a radio host suspension that didn't result in a firing. Is this true?

    It makes for compelling footage, but if these guys really want to make a dent, they should be canceling their service. On that note, two readers wrote in to say that when they tried to cancel, XM hung up on them. Several times in a row. Brilliant retention strategy. — BEN POPKEN.
