"One of the few good things about modern times: if you die horribly on television, you will not have died in vain. You will have entertained us." Kurt Vonnegut

The Imus controversy and termination have prompted some interesting discussion. More on this another day. On balance, we have a leadership problem that is not getting the attention deserved.
