K-WHAT? Maui TV station lands questionable call letters

THE call letters KUNT have landed at a yet-unbuilt low-power digital television station in Wailuku, Maui.

Alarmingly similar to a word the dictionary says is obscene, the call letters were among a 15-page list of new call letters issued by the Federal Communications Commission and released this week.

The same station owner also received KWTF for a station in Arizona.

see the Star Bulletin for more filthy words.

Cheese Friday™ : It's blowing up!

By now you have probably heard, the TSA has started it's all out attack against Cheese.

The TSA circulated a 13-paragraph security advisory internally. A statement posted late Tuesday by the TSA on its Web site confirms that "a routine TSA intelligence bulletin relating to suspicious incidents at U.S. airports" had leaked out to news organizations.

The bulletin says a joint FBI-Homeland Security Department assessment found that terrorists have conducted probes, dry runs and dress rehearsals in advance of previous attacks.

Possible examples of these "dry runs":

Milwaukee, June 4. A U.S. person's carry-on baggage contained wire coil wrapped around a possible initiator, an electrical switch, batteries, three tubes and two blocks of cheese. The bulletin said block cheese has a consistency similar to some explosives.

Baltimore, Sept. 16, 2006. A couple's checked baggage contained a plastic bag with a block of processed cheese taped to another plastic bag holding a cellular phone charger.
I wonder if the above mentioned cheese "tasted like radio".

I guess that's why my block of Cheddar from the UK hasn't arrived yet.

Dilemma

Should I reject this pithy insight because it is almost reductive in
its simplicity, or embrace its wisdom in breaking a larger concept
into a manageable one?
