During a live commercial read at the end of the show, Robin praised the great taste of Amstel Light beer, saying that Artie serves it to all of his women, before she realized that they were doing a commercial for Beck's Light.
     
     Live ad readings are not cheap, they cost thousands of dollars. One has to wonder how pissed off the executives at Becks are after Robin used their paid air time to promote a competitor's product.
     

     Today Robin said she had "no metabolism". When Howard asked who the doctor was who diagnosed her with that, she said she diagnosed herself! Since Robin has no medical degree and even her experience as a nurse seems to have been forgotten long ago, it's not surprising she would come up with an impossible self-diagnosis.
     
     A short time later Robin said she was anemic and made the statement, quite matter-of-factly, "I have no blood!" Wow, Robin we knew you were superhuman, but this is just far out. Then again, this is coming from a woman who prefers witch doctors and snake oil peddlers to actual medical doctors.

     During Howard's discussion of hydrogen-powered cars, Robin the scientist exclaimed that we have lots of hydrogen peroxide, implying that hydrogen peroxide could be used to power the hydrogen fuel cell cars.
     
     I am no scientist, but I doubt hydrogen peroxide can power cars. (Of course, I could be wrong. But even if I am wrong, I still think Robin sounded dumb throwing in "hydrogen peroxide" into the conversation about hydrogen fuel cell powered cars, as there was no explanation or clarification, and you just know that Robin doesn't know anything about the topic.)

     Last week Robin made the remark that the Canadian dollar was never worth more than the US dollar. I would like to correct her by saying that the Canadian dollar was worth more through a lot of the 1970's... and she can't say she is too young to remember!
     
     Unlike other currencies in the Bretton Woods system, whose values were fixed, the Canadian dollar was allowed to float from 1950 to 1962. Between 1952 to 1960, the Canadian dollar traded at a slight premium over the U.S. dollar, reaching a high of US$1.0614 on 20 August 1957.
     
     The Canadian dollar fell considerably after 1960, and this contributed to Prime Minister John Diefenbaker's defeat in the 1963 election. The Canadian dollar returned to a fixed exchange rate regime in 1962 when its value was set at US$0.925, where it remained until 1970. As an inflation-fighting measure, the Canadian dollar was allowed to float in 1970. Its value appreciated and it was worth more than the U.S. dollar for part of the 1970s. The high point was on 25 April 1974, when it reached US$1.0443.
     
     The Canadian dollar fell in value against its American counterpart during the technological boom of the 1990s that was centered on the United States, and was traded for as little as 61.79 cents U.S. on 21 January 2002, which was an all-time low. Since then, its value against all major currencies has risen due, in part, to high prices for commodities (especially oil) that Canada exports. Its value against the U.S. dollar rose sharply in 2007 due to the continued strength of the Canadian economy and the U.S. currency's weakness on world markets. During trading on 20 September 2007 it met the U.S. greenback at parity for the first time since 25 November 1976.

     During a discussion today about the amount of sex partners the group has had, Artie spoke about getting Chlamydia when he was 19. Dr. Quivers quickly stated that men don't get Chlamydia, it is a yeast infection. Artie continued to tell the story and even Gary came in and said he had it once also. Robin was fairly quiet through the rest of the conversation.
     
     http://www.cdc.gov/std/Chlamydia/STDFact-Chlamydia.htm

     While Robin was attempting to defend herself to Howard during their discussion about Donald Trump buying Ed McMahon's house, Robin said:
     
     "I gave a ton of money to the habitat people who build houses."
     
     While we wonder how much "a ton" of money actually adds up to, from the inflections in her voice and the fact that she never mentioned their name, I got the strong impression she didn't know their name. And even if she does know their name, I think out of respect to this great charity, their name deserved to be mentioned. (And if you really did donate a lot of money to them after Katrina, as you claimed, you should not have referred to them as "the habitat people who build houses" the way you did without also including their name.)
     
     It is Habitat For Humanity. http://www.habitat.org/
     
     Admin Note: After hearing it on the replay, another golden nugget is that after Robin announced her donation of "a ton of money" she added, "But I don't go around announcing it." Robin, you just announced it to the largest audience you have access to, millions of Sirius listeners. But you don't go around announcing it.

     Robin reported on a man who was arrested Tuesday for poisoning his wife with cyanide. The woman is currently on life support, but has been officially declared brain-dead.
     
     http://www.newsday.com/news/local/crime...
     
     Instead of using her own brain, Robin (the shockingly uninformed former nurse) finished up by directly quoting an obviously foolish statement from the newspaper:
     
     "[Maureen Steeves] is brain dead. She is not expected to recover."
     
     Sigh... Robin - once you are brain dead - you are brain dead. A body will NEVER, EVER regain the ability the recover from anything once the brain is dead.

     During the phone game with Bobo, after they asked Bobo where a raisin and pickle come from, Howard asked Bobo where a prune comes from (what is a prune?). Robin said a prune is a prune.
     
     Fred spoke up to correctly tell Robin that a prune is actually a dried plum.
     

     In her most authoritative voice, Robin proclaimed unequivocally that if the U.S. adopted Socialized Medicine, there would be a gigantic increase in paperwork for healthcare providers than there is now, and that this is her reason for being against Universal Healthcare.
     
     She complained on behalf of all healthcare providers that there is way too much paperwork now.
     
     I agree that there is a lot of cost involved today for healthcare providers because of the high amount of paperwork that needs to be done, but the benefits or disadvantages of Universal Healthcare (or Socialized Medicine) goes way beyond that one simple issue of increased paperwork. (And there is no guarantee that there would be such a huge increase in paperwork. Wouldn't the same forms filed for Medicare, as one example, just be filed with the U.S. Government Universal Healthcare Department instead? Instead of the files being submitted to Blue Cross, as another example, those same files would be submitted to the U.S. Government. So, where is the guaranteed huge increase in paperwork Robin proclaimed with 100% certainty?)
     
     Would you really ever approve or disapprove something as complex as Socialized Medicine based on the issue of paperwork alone? Surely genius minds could invent technology to help eliminate the paperwork.
     
     Again, Robin has a right to be against Socialized Medicine. But to just strongly dismiss it in a such a big public forum because you think it will add paperwork to healthcare providers is ignorant and immature, in my opinion.

     In reporting the passage of California's Proposition 8, Robin asserted that it would invalidate existing same-sex marriages. According to Wikipedia's article on this proposition: "The day after the election California Attorney General Jerry Brown announced that existing same-sex marriages were unaffected." Once again, Robin is confident, certain, and wrong.
     

     Howard was reading a live commerical for the F/X show Sons of Anarchy, Robin chimed in that she saw the preview for the show while watching Prison Break (on FOX) and then added that it looks like FOX is going to have a lot of really great new shows this season...Howard QUICKLY corrected her that that Sons of Anarchy is an F/X show. Why can't she just SHUT UP and not speak for 15 minutes??????

     Robin finally mentioned the awful murder of the Ecuadorian man in Queens, but neglected to mention that he and his brother were walking arm in arm down the street, therefore leading the animals that killed them to assume they were gay men. That is why they were beaten and one of them killed. Very, very important part of the story and no mention of it from Robin, the expert "News Woman".
     

     During a discussion this morning on Bubba the Love Sponges son racing midget cars, Robin in her infinite ignorance said that the the Indy 500 was named that because of the number of laps they race. Artie chimed in saying that he always thought that the "500" was the distance that they race. Robin said "No...No...it's the number of laps and that the track is only one mile long". Of course Artie is right, the Indy 500 and the Daytona 500 refer to the number of "miles" in the race and the track for the Indy 500 is 2.5 miles long so they race only 200 laps.

     In response to rising gas prices, Robin reported on Wayne Gerdes' claim of nearly doubling the fuel mileage on his pickup truck using techniques known collectively as "hypermiling". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypermiling
     
     Robin claimed that, among other gas-saving tips, Wayne recommends that, "You hyper-inflate the tires. You inflate the tires to their maximum capacity - not the recommended level - to the maximum capacity that it says on the tire and that's how you drive around."
     
     WRONG ... AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! While slightly over-inflating the tires can potentially increase your mileage (a claim disputed by others), even mileage-crazy Wayne Gerdes says the specific amount of overinflation should always vary depending on numerous factors including outside (road) temperature and road conditions. Moreover, the baseline PSI is always the recommended pressure as stated in the vehicle owner's manual - not the safe PSI range stated on the tire itself (which obviously still must be adhered to). http://www.safercar.gov/portal/site/safercar...
     
     Having said all that, even Wayne admits that an overinflated tire will wear out unevenly and more quickly and the ride will be rougher on the vehicle's suspension components - increasing maintenance costs and potentially making this a money-LOSING technique. http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:xyI-BCuTKXkJ:www.greenhybrid.com/...
     
     Most importantly, GROSSLY overinflated tires (as Robin wrongly promoted) will mean much less traction with the road and a vehicle that is potentially more likely to go out of control should the driver ever need to make a sudden maneuver in an emergency. Of course, absolutely no mention by Robin (the QUALIFIED RACE CAR DRIVER ... sigh) of any of these tremendous drawbacks in her "news" piece - just a bubbly quasi-endorsement of a highly-debated practice.
     
     Please Robin. Just stick to the back seat of your limo and don't offer up bad ideas to those of us who actually do the driving.

     While Robin was reporting on a new story about the will of author Michael Crichton, she credited him with writing Jaws. Had Robin actually read her news story there would have been no mention of Jaws in the story. It was not until Gary interrupted a few moments later to say he didn't think Crichton wrote Jaws, she interjected that she meant to say Jurrasic Park. A pretty significant detail to miss since the man was knows for his writing. I think she may have made this mistake before when he first died.
     
     (Admin Note: This sounded a bit familiar to me, so I went back and checked on it. Sure enough, Robin made this exact same mistake last month, and was corrected on it. We documented it here.)

     Once again, Robin hasn't a clue about geography. When discussing with Rosie the possibility of traveling to Ireland, Robin asked Rosie, "You don't want to see the White Cliffs of Dover?"
     
     The white cliffs of Dover are in ENGLAND, across the English channel from France--The complete opposite side of England from where Ireland is.
     
     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_cliffs_of_Dover

     During her news, Robin reported that Jane Goody is getting another reality TV show but said she committed a crime (assault) and is going to jail.
     
     Howard immediately jumped in to correct Robin and said "No she didn't."
     
     Howard said that it was Jane Goody's boyfriend who committed the crime of assault and not Jane Goody. (It is Jane Goody's boyfriend who went to jail.)
     
     Major mistake by Robin reporting that someone committed a crime when they did not.
     
     And Robin didn't apologize for her mistake. She just shrugged it off as if it was no big deal.

     The gang was talking about actress Kate Winslet.
     
     Howard was impressed with Kate Winslet and her naked scenes in "The Reader."
     
     Gary, admiring Kate Winslet, as well, said: "I can't find a movie she's been in where she's not naked."
     
     Robin just had to immediately open her big mouth in attempt to prove Gary wrong.
     
     Robin screamed out that she wasn't naked in "Titanic."
     
     Luckily Gary immediately corrected Robin, with others jumping in as well, that Kate Winslet was indeed naked in "Titanic," when Leonardo DiCaprio's character was painting her in the nude.
     
     Wrong yet again, Robin Quivers.

     Lisa G reported that Howard TV Director Scott DePace has contracted ringworm. While Howard and Artie were wondering what exactly that is, Nurse Robin stated, "I know it has to be bacterial."
     
     Ringworm is is actually a common fungal infection of the skin, similar to athlete's foot or jock itch. It has nothing at all to do with bacteria. It is easily treated with over-the-counter topical drugs. Scott DePace did Robin a favor by filling her in with the right information.
     
     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringworm

     During the Wrap-Up Show, Robin shockingly and appallingly called the passengers on the airplanes that crashed on 9/11 cowards because they just sat back and did what they were told to do by the terrorists on board.
     
     Shame on Robin!
     
     First of all, Robin, no one at that time could have imagined the pilots intended to crash the planes into buildings.
     
     Robin said she wouldn't have sat there in her seat and done nothing once she saw the planes heading to the center of Manhattan.
     
     Gary tried to fight Robin on this, also stating that at that time no one could have imagined a hijacking would lead to crashed-into-buildings situation.

     While reading the list of people who died in 2008 today, Robin stated Bernie Mac died of sarcoidosis and ammonia. Bernie Mac actually died of sarcoidosis and pneumonia a lung disease. Ammonia is a cleaning product. I listened back three times and she definitely said ammonia.
     
     You'd think a former nurse would know better.
     

     During the Craptacular, Howard stated that Joey Boots was 12 ounces ahead of High Pitch Eric in the amount of crap each one has produced. Robin, with her perfect timing of when to reveal her ignorance, shouts out, "Over a pound!" Uh, last time I checked, a pound was 16 ounces, Robin.
     

     During the news Robin brought up actor Luke Wilson and mentioned that he has a new movie coming out called "Henry Poole Is Here." She reported that Luke Wilson continues to do movies despite his serious personal issues.
     
     Thankfully for Luke, Howard chimed in to inform Robin that it is in fact Luke's brother, Owen Wilson, who had those serious personal problems.
     
     If it wasn't for Howard correcting her, some people might have accepted Robin's story as fact and thought Luke had been reported by the media of drugs and attempted suicide problems.

     When talking about the Olympics, Robin said that NBC purposely chooses to put Michael Phelps on late at night (11:00pm) because they want the viewers to sit through hours of commercials to see him.
     
     I guess Robin doesn't realize that China is 12 hours ahead. 11:00 pm in the Eastern US is 11:00 am in Beijing. NBC was not delaying Phelps' appearance to hook viewers in, they were showing his performance live!
     
     Sorry Robin, there is no grand conspiracy.

     During the news, Robin reported on the story of how some of the Chinese female athletes are suspected of being under 16 years old, which is the minimum allowable age to compete in the Olympics.
     
     Howard naturally asked Robin if that is the case, why are we allowing it to happen?
     
     First Robin replied that the Chinese government is giving the IOC the wrong information. Then she immediately changed it to the Chinese government is refusing to let them see the athletes' papers. Then she said she doesn't know.
     
     There is a simple answer to Howard's question, and it is inexcusable for Robin not to know the answer if she is going to make the decision to do the story in the first place. (It is mind boggling to me how she decides to report on a story without being sure she knows all the facts. It's like she doesn't really take her news reporting all that seriously. In any other profession, with all of these mistakes, she would be fired.)
     
     The answer to Howard's question: The International Olympic Committee certifies an athlete's ability to compete regarding the age requirement based solely on one's passport. That's it. A passport is that legally binding piece of identification issued by one's government. The Chinese government issued the athletes in question passports that show they are 16.
     
     Of course, there is wide speculation that the Chinese government lied about the ages on the passports, and Howard's question should have been easily answered by Robin. All she had to say was that it is being allowed to happen because they have legal passports that say they are 16, and nobody outside of China has the ability to prove the Chinese government lied about their ages.

     During the news, Robin strongly proclaimed in that voice where she thinks she is an expert at so many things that Anna Kournikova was never a good singles tennis player.
     
     According to the Wikipedia article on her, Anna Kournikova was ranked number 8 best tennis player in the world in the year 2000.
     
     Kournikova's singles record was 209-129
     
     I don't know about you, Robin, but since the majority of all tennis players in the world won't reach a number 8 ranking, I would say that that Kournikova was a good singles player.
     
     If you had said that Kournikova was never good enough as a singles player to win a Grand Slam, I would agree with that. But to just blindly say that Kournikova was never a good singles player as you did, without any follow-up or explanation, is patently unfair to Kournikova and a misrepresentation of the facts and of tennis in general.
     
     Keep your mouth shut, Robin, and accept that you are not an authority on everything!
     
     Admin Note: The above post really says it all, but the problem with Robin is she doesn't use qualifiers. If she had said, "Anna Kournikova sucked compared to ..." then there might be some legitimacy to her statement. But to achieve a #8 ranking in the world means she was, in fact, incredibly good (compared to the other 6 billion people on the planet, being #8 ain't that bad). If Robin wants to see someone who's no good at tennis, take a look at me. I'm terrible, and Anna would kick my ass 10 ways 'till Sunday on the tennis court.

     As Howard welcomed Lisa Lampanelli into the studio, he gave her a plug for her upcoming HBO special. In the very next breath, Robin chimed in asking where this special was supposed to air.
     
     Howard simply answered, "HBO."
     
     Is it too much to ask you to pay attention to the show, Robin?
     

     Robin told everyone that she never knows what the date is in response to Howard commenting that Robin didn't know it was Howard's birthday yesterday, January 12.
     
     Robin should be ashamed of herself. As the newswoman of the show, there is no excuse to not know the date. How many people, if they had Robin's job, would make it a point to look at a calendar upon waking up?
     
     I keep a calendar on my refrigerator door and look at it each morning. If I was Robin, I'd not only look at the calendar I would circle the date to make it a mental picture in my mind.
     
     And finally, as the newswoman of the show, shouldn't Robin be looking at the newspaper every morning...which we all know has the date at the top?
     
     Robin should do basic research prior to every show and take her job seriously. For now, she is just phoning it in, and I would guess Howard and the audience has lost respect for her.

     Once again Robins mouth is in OVERDRIVE while her brain is in PARK. In today's story about the Minnesota senatorial election, Robin "reported" that Al Franken had defeated Mitch McConnell. If Robin had actually read the news she would have seen that Franken had actually beaten Norm Coleman.
     

     Robin's original reason for being hired to work with Howard was to report the news, as everyone knows.
     
     Robin is paid millions of dollars per year, of course, to be co-host and still to report the news.
     
     Most people, if reporting the news was a big part of their job, would actually make it a point to either keep up with all aspects of the news or at least research any news questions they might have.
     
     But today, instead of researching an important news question, she decided to ask Howard for the answer. (Howard is not the news person of the show, yet he knew the answer.)
     
     The details: They were talking about the US Air plane that had to ditch in the Hudson River. Robin expressed that she really wanted to know if some of the passengers were psychologically able to get on another plane to continue to their intended destination (or would they be afraid to fly again).
     
     It was a huge story the same night of the crash and all throughout the following day that many passengers got on another plane and arrived in Charlotte. Some of the passengers were interviewed at the Charlotte airport, and the story was widely reported by the national media, including every wire service, etc.
     
     Howard and Fred knew that passengers continued on to their destination. I knew it (and I live in California). A quick Google or Yahoo News search will show it.
     
     In my opinion, it is part of Robin's job to know it.

     Today, in a repeat broadcast, referring to the 31 March 2004 ambush in Fallujah, Iraq, of four US contractors, Robin said, "they were hung in effigy". Two mistakes in one sentence. They were not "hung", but were "hanged". And "effigy" means a representation of a person, not the actual person. For example, to hang a person in effigy would be to make a representation of the person, such as a puppet, and then to hang that puppet.
     
     So Robin's grammar and vocabulary seem to be as impressive as her understanding of world events and history.

     Why is it that Robin can't get her head around the fact that slavery in the U.S. officially ended in 1865? To repeat the same mistake she made on-air only two months ago, today Robin questioned:
     
     "Will we ever have [a President] who was born here whose parents were slaves?"
     
     Leaving the legitimate concept of contemporary "wage slavery" aside (to which she was certainly not referring), I can assure you with 100% certainty, Robin, that the answer to your question is a firm NO. Great-great-grandparents - perhaps. Parents - no.
     
     By the way, Robin, we all know the rules. A President "who was born here" is redundant. If you just want to hear yourself talk, why not go all the way and say "a President who was born here, is at least 35 years of age and has been a permanent resident of the U.S. for at least 14 years"?

     During her news, Robin decided to report on the story of Nick Cannon taking over as host of "America's Got Talent."
     
     But Robin reported that Nick Carter is the guy.
     
     A few moments after she had moved onto other news stories, Howard spoke up and corrected Robin to say that the guy who is taking over is Nick Cannon.

     During the discussion of Barack Obama's relationship with a controversial pastor, Howard amusingly contended that the only country on the planet that is not responsible for bad deeds is Sweden. Immediately, and without apparent forethought as usual, Robin chimed in and claimed that Sweden was responsible for alot of bad things because they "financed all of 'em."
     
     Did Robin actually mean Switzerland and their controversial financial relationships with Nazi Germany?
     
     Wikipedia Link
     
     Oh, Robin, what next? You're gonna choke on a piece of "Swedish" cheese?

     While Howard was promoting (or "pre-promoting, as Gary might say) 50 Cent coming in later in the morning, Robin spoke up to tell everyone the story of how 50 Cent punched an actor on the set who made a comment about 50 Cent not being on time.
     
     Howard asked Robin if the actor was black or white.
     
     Instead of Robin saying I don't know or I am not sure, she positively identified the actor as being black.
     
     Moments later, Fred informed all that the actor was white.
     
     Robin, instead of acknowledging her mistake, spoke up and said she had just vaguely remembered the story. She didn't act like she vaguely remembered the story when she was sharing it. And if she only vaguely remembered the story, why didn't she just say she wasn't sure when Howard asked his question?

     Robin did a story in the news about a man in Melbourne, Australia who threw his 4-year-old daughter 190 feet off a bridge. Robin proclaimed "the girl survived!" and later added "How do you tell her your father threw you off a bridge?"
     
     Well unless you have a phone line to the afterlife you aren't going to be able to tell her much of anything, because she's dead. Once again Robin barely scans an article and doesn't get all the facts. Every article said the girl died.
     
     www.smh.com.au/news/national...
     www.brisbanetimes.com.au/news/national...
     www.theage.com.au/national...

     During her news story about a missing 11-year old girl, Robin once again proved that advanced preparation, factual accuracy and general quality of (re-)reporting are of zero importance to her when she spouted the line: "Police in Tyler ... wherever that is...".
     
     All major news sources are reporting this as being a police search for a missing 11-year-old TEXAS girl. Take a wild guess which state Tyler is located in, Robin.
     
     http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=6733850&page=1
     
     Can anyone imagine any other mass-media reporter who is listened to on a daily basis by millions of people getting away with such amateurish ignorance on a regular basis? C'mon Howard. Anyone else would have canned Robin by now. It's time for her to go (and I think you know it).

     Robin claimed that four stars are the highest rank for a general in the US Army. Guess she forgot about all those previous 5 star generals. D'oh!
     

     Robin said Diesel is over $4.00 per gallon. Fred noted that using a diesel engine is not necessarily more expensive than a gasoline engine because diesel vehicles get better mileage per gallon. Robin said, "Why should it be more expensive just because of that?"
     
     Oh, Robin. My dear Robin... There are a multitude of reasons why diesel is more expensive than gas, and not one of them is because diesel engines get better mileage. According to Edmunds.com, some factors are the Gulf of Mexico hurricanes disrupting refineries, oil wells and fuel shipments, the rise in demand for diesel particularly in Europe where about 40% of cars run on diesel, and that refineries are gearing up to manufacture a new, cleaner diesel fuel, due to hit the market in less than a year. Oh, and there is also the fact that it takes 25% more oil to manufacture a gallon of diesel than it does to manufacture a gallon of gasoline, and have you seen the price of oil lately?
     
     There are other factors involved, as well, but one thing that's for sure is retailers do not charge more for diesel simply because it's more efficient.

     During a conversation this morning about the controversy regarding NY Governor Paterson and Caroline Kennedy, Howard stated that there should be a special election and not have the Governor appoint a person to fulfill an unexpired term for a US Senator, Robin adamantly argued that it is a state issue and could only be decided by the state as Howard was saying it should be a Federal ruling, Robin continued to insist that it can't be done on a Federal level. Robin needs to understand that the position is US Senator from the State of NY and not a State Senator who works in Albany (state capital).

     One of the first things they teach you in journalism class is that when you introduce a sound clip, you want to summarize what is about to be said without repeating it word for word. In other words, there is no point in my telling the listener, “Today, President Bush announced a 40% tax cut for Gulf War vets,” if the very next thing you hear is the President saying, “Today, I am announcing a 40% tax cut for Gulf War vets.” What you should hear is an explanation of the intro subject, such as “These tax cuts are being enacted to ensure that those who served our country are able to lead the full lives they enjoyed before they served.”
     
     Yet nearly every day, Robin commits this cardinal sin. Listen for it … you’ll be surprised how often it happens!

     Robin reported that Los Angeles city council members had been joined by musician Carlos Santana to announce a campaign to make Cesar E. Chavez Day a federal holiday. WRONG!
     
     The campaign is to make it a national holiday, not a federal holiday. There is a distinct difference.
     
     A federal holiday is a recognized by the United States Government. Non-essential federal government offices are closed and all federal employees are paid for the holiday. Private banks, stock and futures exchanges are generally closed on these days as well.
     
     A national holiday (as it applies in this case) is simply an unofficial observance of religious/national/cultural/other significance, often accompanied by celebrations or festivities. Most people do not get the day off of work.
     
     For example, some federal holidays are Independence Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. Some national holidays are St. Patrick's Day, Halloween, Flag Day, etc.

     When discussing the prenuptial agreement between Sumner Redstone and his wife, Robin mentioned that 5 million was one tenth, of 5 billion. Ever the mathematician she corrected herself and said it was actually 1 percent. Actually you were wrong both times. You have to move the decimal point over one more place, it is actually 0.1 percent.
     

     During her news, Robin brought up the story of former "Soul Train" host Don Cornelius' arrest.
     
     Howard suggested that "Soul Train" was a rip off of "American Bandstand."
     
     Robin immediately chimed in saying "except 'American Bandstand' didn't allow black people."
     
     Howard shot back saying that "Bandstand" did have black people.
     
     Robin shot back: "One couple."
     
     Robin is so wrong, and should give both Dick Clark and "American Bandstand" an apology.
     
     http://www.saturdaymorning.pop-cult.com/american-bandstand.html
     
     Excerpt from the above site:
     
     "One thing many people forget is that early on, Clark had insisted on a racially mixed group of kids on the show - after all, the music was largely performed by black artists. Until perhaps the 1970's, American Bandstand was perhaps the most visible haven of racial harmony on television."
     
     

     Robin was asked if she would have been upset if Sen. John McCain had won yesterday's U.S. Presidential election as opposed to Sen. Barack Obama. Her response:
     
     "No ... the majority rules and they speak."
     
     No, Robin. It's sad that a life-long Canadian citizen/resident needs to tell you this, but the majority DOES NOT necessarily rule under the U.S. Electoral College system of voting. For example, in 2000, Al Gore received 550,000 more votes nationwide than George W. Bush, yet he still lost the Presidency by 5 Electoral College votes. To whom the majority of popular votes go is completely irrelevant in determining who is actually elected President.

     Robin Quivers continued to insist she is correct about the meaning of Karma.
     
     Howard said that Robin was busted for her comments about Karma yesterday. He read through some of the emails he got about her and people were getting sick hearing her trying to prove that she was right. One guy said that she's spewing her bullshit and they're tired of it. Robin was still arguing about it and trying to prove that she was right that Karma comes from your family.
     
     Howard said Robin can never admit that she's wrong.
     
     Howard played some audio from "The Wrap Up Show" where they talked about what she said on the main show about Karma. Gary said she was wrong about the Karma thing.
     
     Robin said people are going to come to her side in a couple of years when they realize that she was right.
     
     Howard said he can't argue with Robin when she thinks she's right. She gets very loud when she argues and he can't handle that.

     Robin "reported" on the day-and-a-half old story about a group of fired factory workers in India who beat their former employer's local CEO to death. She finished off by saying, "I don't know if they'll be able to charge ANYONE with this."
     
     Multiple news sources have been reporting on this story for well over 24 hours, every one of those sources reporting that more than 60 employees were charged with murder.
     
     http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080923...
     
     Another miss, Robin.

     Five minutes into the show Robin made an odd statement. It's hard to tell if she was making another boneheaded mistake, or just using a bad metaphor, but after Artie told his story about being in Afghanistan and so close to the poppy fields, and how he could get it fresh, Robin chimed in saying it's, "fresh from the tree."
     
     Even people who don't use the drug know it comes from the poppy plant, a flowering plant, which could never be mistaken for a tree.

     During hers news segment, Robin decided to report on the return of golfer Tiger Woods.
     
     Robin reported that Tiger Woods is having difficulty walking the entire golf course "for some reason or another." (Yes, she amazingly used those words while reporting a news story.)
     
     Can you imagine anyone in the world doing a news report other than Robin who would use the words "for some reason or another" when there is clear and concise facts to be learned by doing a quick search?
     
     It is well known, even among non-golf enthusiasts, that Tiger Woods had to undergo reconstructive anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery on his left knee.
     
     I would say that this is the reason he has some difficulty walking the entire golf course.
     
     Robin did mention that he had a "knee injury" during her news report by pondering out loud: "How does someone injure himself playing golf?"

     Dominic the bloated attorney was on the phone asking about the details of Benjy's arrest for disorderly conduct while annoying the CNN camera crew outside. He inquired as to whether Benjy received a notice to appear in court. Benjy replied yes, to which Dominic said that means it's a legitimate arrest (as opposed to a simple detainment).
     
     Robin chimed in with her own nugget of wisdom to say, "So you have a bench warrant." Wrong! A bench warrant is a variant of an arrest warrant, which authorizes the immediate on-sight arrest of an individual. Typically, judges issue bench warrants for persons deemed to be in contempt of court – possibly as a result of that person's failure to appear at the appointed time and date for a mandated court appearance.
     
     Benjy received a simple notice to appear (basically a ticket). That is very different from a bench warrant.
     
     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bench_warrant

     Robin reported on the Morgan Freeman story today during her news segment.
     
     While introducing the clip of Demaris Meyer speaking with attorney Gloria Allred, Robin threw out one of her wacky comments, expressing a lack of understanding as to why Ms. Meyer would need to have an attorney there if she was just going to deny that she was having an affair with Freeman.
     
     Robin, the press conference yesterday was for more than just an opportunity for Ms. Meyer to deny an affair took place. It was also to announce to the world that a lawsuit was filed against Freeman and to explain the details of the suit and what happened at the accident, etc. And for this, an attorney is always present. If you, Robin, were officially announcing a lawsuit, I have no doubt that you would also have your attorney present, so your attorney could make sure you don't say anything stupid that could hurt your case.

     Twice during today's show, Fred immediately corrected Robin's mistakes.
     
     First, during the discussion of the L.A. Times stonewalling Steve Langford and Howard 100 News. Robin volunteered the name of an agency and was way off on one of the partner's names. Fred snapped right in correcting Robin with the right name.
     
     And second, during the news, Howard was playing a clip from Saturday Night Live, which Robin enthusiastically just told everyone she watched. Howard asked what was going on, and Robin said Sarah Palin was entering the stage. Fred immediately corrected Robin and said that they were actually cutting to backstage where Sarah Palin was standing with Lorne Michaels.
     
     How many times of Robin being corrected will it take before she realizes she should keep her mouth shut? And she hardly ever apologizes for being wrong or for almost giving out misinformation after she is corrected.

     In the news today Robin reported on the story that scientists now believe that HIV has been around about 100 years. This led Robin to deduce loudly and sarcastically that HIV "didn't come from monkeys." What the new evidence shows is that HIV jumped to humans much earlier than previously believed. Most theories still state it came from another primate species, whether from a bite or from eating the meat of an ape.

     During the news, Robin expressed great interest in the story of how the so-called "father of the Internet," Vint Cerf, says the Internet is running out of addresses.
     
     Not enough interest, however, to actually fully research the story so she could answer Howard's question posed to her immediately after she began the story.
     
     Howard wrongly assumed that when Robin said the Internet is running out of addresses, that meant Website named addresses, such as robinsnews.com. Robin didn't correct Howard throughout the story. And Howard and Artie made references to his inaccurate assumption, even joking that the Internet is running out of .com names because of blogs like the one Mike Gange does.
     
     Robin should have immediately answered Howard's question and set him straight. The Internet is not running out of named addresses. There are endless possibilities of names one can come up with to name their site.
     
     The Internet is running out of IP numbered address, as currently formatted...also known as IPv4 addresses.
     
     Robin did mention something about the new IP addressing system, called IPv6, which will solve the IPv4 problem, but she was not very clear about it, nor did she make Howard, Artie, herself, or the audience understand this whole situation.
     
     Also, this is not a new story. This IPv4 situation has been known for many years.
     
     Most all new operating systems already have IPv6 capability built in. So once the Internet Service Providers upgrade their systems to issue IPv6 addresses, there will be no problem.
     
     What irritates me is how Robin expressed extreme fascination and interest in this story yet she didn't bother to research it for its very easy to understand explanation.
     
     A link to this to see that this story is 10 years old:
     http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2008/sep/25/internet

     Twice during the news on Tuesday Robin said she always was suspicious about how Anna Nicole died, because like Jett Travolta, she died in the Bahamas.
     
     Not so fast, Robin. Anna Nicole died in Hollywood, Florida. Her son died in the Bahamas. Robin reported extensively on both stories, but now apparently forgot the important details.
     

     Robin mangled the name of world-famous reporter and CNN Chief International Correspondent Christiane Amanpour - calling her "Christine".
     
     http://www.cnn.com/CNN/anchors_reporters...
     
     Anyone who watches CNN has seen countless reports on international mega-stories from Ms. Amanpour and has frequently heard the correct pronunciation of her first name - CHRIS-TEE-AWN (if anyone can provide the actual technical English-language phonetics for this, please do so).
     
     Of course, it's likely that a "news reporter" like Robin doesn't watch very much CNN.

     Today during the news Robin did a story about how people wash their hands after using the bathroom far less frequently than they claim. She said that over 90% of men claim that they wash their hands but studies show only about 58% actually do. Robin then goes on to conclude that "a little over half" of men don't wash their hands.
     
     Even if we allow that 58% is just "a little" over half, this is the percentage of men who DO wash their hands, whcih would mean that 42% don't--well under half.

     After a lengthy discussion on the show demonstrating how Robin knows just about as much regarding wine as she knows about anything else, she proved herself to be equally vaccuous on the subject of popular literature. During the news, while prattling off the names of celebrities who had passed on this year, Robin cited the death of Michael Crichton. In her typical ereudite voice she described him as "...the author of Jaws and Jurassic Park." While both novels center around overly large toothy beasts, and while both authors are most certainly dead, Jaws was written by Peter Benchley. Once again, Robin proves to be the weakest cog in the Stern Machine.
     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Benchley#Jaws

     During today's Master Tape Theater from June 4, 2001 Howard noted that the song Follow Me by Uncle Kracker had reached number 5 on the charts. After listening to a snippet of the song, Robin said, "You've got to have a soft song to break into the top five."
     
     What? Howard proceeded to play the other four songs in the top five, which were:
     Ride Wit Me by Nelly,
     Lady Marmalade by C. Aguilera , Mya & Pink,
     All For You by Janet Jackson,
     Hanging By A Moment by Lifehouse.
     
     Not a single one of them are "soft songs," yet they all made the top five, even surpassing Uncle Kracker for the week. Robin must be wondering how that is possible.

     When Howard brought up actress Charlize Theron, Robin smugly asked "What does she do?"
     
     Sorry Robin, Charlize is an Oscar winner with another 23 award wins & 24 nominations. She also has 35 TV and movie credits to your 3 tv and movie credits.
     
     Research more, talk less, Robin:
     
     Charlize Theron:
     http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000234/
     
     Robin Quivers:
     http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0704472/
     
     (Admin note: Charlize also makes over $4 million a year in product endorsements in addition to her Hollywood career, she has a star on the walk of fame, and she has been named in the Hot 100 or Sexiest Celeb lists of publications such as FHM, Maxim, People, and Esquire no less than 10 times. How many times has Robin made such a list?)

     Robin, proving to us that she can get a fact wrong that's been established in 3 movies and one TV show all built on the same premise, made the following statement after seeing the Terminator: Salvation trailer; "It looks like he's talking to another person, so in the future, the terminators look like people."
     
     Dumb Robin. The Terminators looked like people in the 1984 Terminator movie, In the 1991 Terminator 2 movie, in the 2003 Terminator 3 movie, and in the Sarah Connor Chronicles, of which you claim to be a fan. It amazes me when she messes up simple facts just to hear her own voice.

     During the news, Robin brought up the story concerning the switch from analog TV to digital TV.
     
     Robin said, rather indignantly, "Rabbit ears antennas...who still uses that?"
     
     You just had to hear the way she said it, in that condescending tone of voice she sometimes uses. If you hear the way she said it, you will be just as annoyed as I was.
     
     Robin, sweetheart, there are many low-income families in the inner cities that cannot afford the high monthly fee of cable or satellite. There are approx. 20 million people in the U.S. that still watch over-the-air TV stations using an antenna. (In addition, there are many satellite TV subscribers that still receive some of their local TV stations via antenna.)
     
     So, Robin, the answer to your question of who still uses antennas to watch TV is: about 20,000,000 people.
     
     Admin Note: There are also still many rural areas where cable is not available, but Robin wouldn't know about those because she doesn't do research.

     Gary talked about Ric Flair receiving the key to the city of Columbia, SC. Robin said "I think it's Columbus." No, it isn't.
     
     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia,_South_Carolina
     

     Whilst explaining all about the Miss Landmine pageant, Howard says "Here are some of the contestants as you can see, standing there without their limbs".
     
     The ever sharp Robin chimed in with "They're gonna be limbless when they compete?"
     
     No robin, I'm sure they plan on growing fresh limbs for that very day. In another case, if she meant are they not using prosthetics, then that would defy the whole point of the pageant, as it's to show that being limbless is also beautiful.

     Despite having repeatedly reported on the tragic car accident that resulted in Nick Hogan's jail's sentence, today Robin reported that Nick Hogan was serving time in a California jail. I guess the fact that there are palm trees in California and in Florida makes them close enough.
     
     Nick Hogan was actually sentenced to serve his time in a Pinellas County FLORIDA jail which makes sense since the accident happened in FLORIDA and the trial was in FLORIDA and the sentencing was in FLORIDA. The Hogans even live in Florida.
     
     (Admin note: Robin is truly the most confused news person on the planet. There have been some reports that Terry (a.k.a "Hulk") has obtained a residence in California after the split with his wife, but Nick's crime and sentence most definitely happened in Florida.)

     Once again, Robin shows off her medical experise. While discussing "Agita" Howard asked what it is and Robin using her expert medical terminology stated "It's like that thing in your stomach". Well according to Medecinenet.com, Agita is "Heartburn, acid indigestion, an upset stomach or, by extension, a general feeling of upset. The word is Italian-American slang derived from the Italian "agitare" meaning "to agitate." Go Robin!!

     During Robin's News today, Robin brought up a story about how taller people are more likely to be happier and make more money.
     
     At the end of the story, the discussion turned to what height they thought was the beginning of being considered tall for females. When the discussion had ended, Robin decided to volunteer the following:
     
     Robin: "I'm not that tall and I find myself mostly towering over people. Not in the showbiz world. But I tower over them."
     
     Artie: "How tall are you, Robin?"
     
     Robin: "Five six."
     
     So, Robin is 5' 6" tall and she feels she "towers over most people not in the showbiz world" (her words, not mine).
     
     I am submitting this post more for the psychological evaluation of Robin since I feel her words are quite telling. I think a psychologist would have a field day expounding on what Robin's words truly say about her.
     
     Admin Note: If Robin is truly 5'6" she is only about 1.5 inches taller than average for American female adults. I hardly consider that to be towering, but it's not the first time Robin has exaggerated. Maybe she was thinking of her ego rather than her height.

     On the February 2 broadcast, Robin specifically told Howard and the audience that tennis player Roger Federer has never beaten Rafael Nadal. She used this fact to bolster her argument that Federer might not be entitled to be considered the best tennis player ever. She offered the opinion that how can you consider one to be the best tennis player ever if that person has never been able to beat a specific opponent.
     
     When I heard Robin make this statement, I assumed Robin knew the facts about Federer because she claims to be a huge tennis fan. (She woke up at 3:30 a.m. to watch the Australian Open Federer match live.)
     
     But thanks to a comment posting by Tom today, where Tom stated that Federer has indeed beaten Nadal 6 times, I decided to do a Google search. Tom is correct and Robin is incorrect. Federer has beaten Nadal 6 times. (Thank you, Tom.)

     Earlier this morning Robin was stating how the election of Obama is a huge thing for her 83 year old mother who stayed up late to watch the election results. Robin said her mother's parents were slaves.....she immediately corrected herself after realizing that was not possible, as slavery ended in 1865 (if her mother is 83 she was born in 1925, her mother's mother could not have been slave then, or even 40 years before then). In her correction she stated that her mother's parents were "descendants of slaves". Not a huge mistake as she did catch herself......but still an error.

     There was a discussion about when Howard's daughters would marry, and Howard said he doesn't think it will be anytime soon, even though the older two are age 22 and 25. Artie agreed, remarking that the current young generation is waiting longer to get married than their parents did. Robin added her bit of wisdom by saying that's not true. She said, "You have to remove New York from the equation," (although it's not clear why she feels NY shouldn't be counted) "but in the rest of the country these girls are still getting married at 19."
     
     Maybe a few are, but most certainly this is a number Robin pulled right out of her ass. According to the most recent survey by the U.S. Census Bureau, the average age for women in a first marriage is 25.1 years old nationwide. The state with the lowest average is Utah at 21.9 years, followed by Oklahoma at 22.7 years old, and many states are several years higher than that.
     
     Just another know-it-all moment from our favorite overpaid Newswoman.
     
     http://www.census.gov/population/www/socdemo...

     This morning, Robin described Howard's "Ugly Guy With a Hot Chick" newspaper article as having "the OPPOSITE of the ripple effect": it starts slowly and then the television shows pick up on it. Ummm.....I'm pretty sure that's EXACTLY what a ripple effect is.

     During the Who Knows Howard Best Game, the scheduled final question (which was the winning question) was:
     
     Name the African American woman Howard dated?
     
     Ralph, Beth, and Howard's parents wrote down Robin Givens, which is correct, of course.
     
     Robin Quivers wrote down just the first name "Robin."
     
     Yes, there is no doubt that Robin Quivers knew it was Robin Givens, which is why Howard initially gave her the win. But, game show rules dictate that the last name be written down, so a controversy and a protest ensued. (And maybe Robin Quivers couldn't think of Givens' name at that moment, which technically means she got the question wrong.)
     
     On what game show in the history of game shows is it allowed just to say a person's first name as an answer? And please know that Robin Quivers was a contestant on "Jeopardy" and has sat on the Howard Stern Show for years as they have done countless game shows with guests, from "Hollyweird Squares" to "Homeless Jeopardy."

     Howard was trying to discuss some of the past couples from The Bachelor between Robin's constant interruptions. He mentions that the bachelor chosen by a bachelorette was a firefighter who was a good looking guy. He then mentions that the firefighter now has a shaved head and doesn't look so good. He then said that they got married and the bachelorette that chose him doesn't look so good now either. Robin then chimed in that she now looks like a firefighter's wife.
     
     Artie tried to correct Robin by saying he knows lots of firefighters, and I can imagine would have said they have good looking wives, but was promptly cut off by Robin.
     
     Later, one of New York's Bravest, a firefighter with an awesome thick New York accent, called in to say he has to listen to Robin's BS about drinking wine and putting coffee up her ass to then have to listen to her talk down to firefighter's and their wives?
     
     Robin immediately said she loved firefighters and said no such thing. Artie correctly called her on the fact that she was very condescending with her comments about firefighter's wives. She of course denied any of it saying how the guys always give her a hard time. Howard seemed to decline to take sides by praising the brave men and women firefighters and moved the conversation elsewhere.

     When they were playing Angry Young Booey from the parody song contest, Artie said it was his favorite. Robin piped in, "Cause it's a Springsteen." When corrected, she said all knowingly, "Its Billy Joel, that's right."
     
     The song "Angry Young man" was released in 1976 on Joel's fourth album, titled "Turnstiles".
     
     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnstiles

     Artie was talking about which antibiotic he was on, spelling "Azithromycin", which is generic for the brand name Zithromax. Robin said, "I know Erythromycin and that's one of the new ones." Azithromycin was actually discovered in 1980 and patented in 1981, so it's hardly new.
     
     But even more notable, Erythromycin, the drug Robin mistook for Artie's prescription, was granted patent number 2,653,899 in 1953. So this drug that has been around for 55 years is "One of the new ones," according to Robin.

     During her news segment, Robin decided to report on the Consumer Electronics Show, saying that one electronic device generating a lot of buzz is the PogoPlug. She then went on to do what I would describe as an embarrassing attempt to describe to everyone what the PogoPlug does.
     
     She was both confusing and inaccurate in her description by making it sound as if the PogoPlug would give computer users access to a modem anywhere.
     
     The PogoPlug is a device that allows one to plug in an external hard drive to their router, which would then give you (or others) access to that hard drive from over the Internet, from other locations.
     
     Robin didn't even come close to correctly explaining the PogoPlug's use.
     
     You can read about the PogoPlug press release at: http://i.gizmodo.com/5126038/pogoplug...

     During the first part of the show this morning, Howard brought up "karma." Robin was so sure she knew what Karma meant, and continued to argue the case for a long time, promising everyone she was absolutely right. Robin repeatedly said she was absolutely sure she was right and everyone else was wrong.
     
     This was one of the ultimate defining moments of the show ever concerning Robin thinking she is right about something. She fought and fought, coming across so poorly because everyone else knew she was so wrong.
     
     Howard, remaining calm, really let Robin have it when he told her she is not right about everything. (I wish someone could post a recording of the "karma" discussion because everyone who is a fan of this Robin's Wrong site will appreciate it the most.)
     
     It was such a memorable thing, even John Hein from the wrap-up show continued the conversation, saying what Robin thinks is karma is perhaps the definition of self-fulfilling prophecy.
     
     Robin thinks karma is the result of parents telling their kids negative things and then those negative things will happen.
     
     Howard told Robin that karma is basically whatever one does, that action will cause a reaction. In simplistic form, as one example: if I hurt you, I myself one day will be hurt because I hurt you.

     Robin spoke about the murder of Todd Bachman, father of 2004 volleyball Olympian Elisabeth Bachman, by a crazed Chinese man at the Drum Tower monument in Beijing. She remarked that the assailant was targeting American tourists.
     
     Robin is once again wrong. Officials have determined that the assailant was not targeting any particular nationality. He never spoke to his victims, and he had no way of knowing where they were from (nor were they carrying or wearing anything that would identify themselves as being American). Furthermore, he also stabbed a female Chinese guide who accompanied the tourists.
     
     Robin fails at reading ... again.

     Robin asked Howard to guess where Journey and Boston found new frontmen to hit the road with this summer. Howard guessed that Tom Scholz of Boston had hooked up with the band Stryper because he saw them at a charity event where Scholz had Stryper playing some of Boston's songs.
     
     Robin said "No." But Howard was right. She corrected herself a moment later by saying, "Oh wait, you're right...." followed by a pause while she actually read the story she was reporting.
     
     True to Robin's style, no research, no pre-reading articles, just a cold read on every news story.

     Robin decided to report on the John Travolta extortion plot during the news.
     
     Robin stated the shocking fact that a Bahamian politician might be involved in the blackmail scheme.
     
     Howard interjected an important part of the story concerning said Bahamian politician that has been widely reported in the news media, and that is said politician has resigned from his office.
     
     Robin immediately replied: "He did?"
     
     Should Howard have to tell Robin important parts of a news story that has been widely reported?
     
     Robin's half-assed reporting of news stories should be very easy for her to correct, even if she had to hire a professional newswriter to research and write the copy out of her own money.

     During her news segment, Robin reported on The People's Choice Awards, playing a clip of Jordin Sparks speaking.
     
     After the clip, Howard asked Robin what award category Jordin Sparks won for. She replied that it was for Best Pop Artist.
     
     Two things to criticize Robin for:
     
     1) She didn't do the proper research or make sure she had the list of winners and what the award was for after deciding to report the story in the first place
     
     2) She gave Howard and the audience wrong information yet again
     
     Jordin Sparks won The People's Choice Award for Favorite Combined Forces (for a song)
     
     The nominees:
     
     "No Air" by Jordin Sparks featuring Chris Brown
     "4 Minutes" by Madonna featuring Justin Timberlake
     "Love Like This" by Natasha Bedingfield featuring Sean Kingston

     Did you ever notice Robin's arrogance (or shall I say ignorance) when someone on the show attempts to practice their religion? Robin scoffed at Artie when he admitted he tried to abstain from drinking on Good Friday. Robin then cackled her signature annoying arrogant laugh. It makes one wonder if Robin actually believes in God? She has said many times that she doesn't. This is likely deep rooted to her childhood days when she was molested by her father, thinking there can't be a God to let this happen to her. Hey Robin, it's called "Free Will"...and to think a woman who pours coffee in her ass has the arrogance to laugh at someone who says they believe in God?

     During the Oscar recap at the start of the show this morning, Robin proclaimed she watched the entire show.
     
     Robin said that Jennifer Aniston presented with Ben Stiller.
     
     Howard, who said he only watched the first hour of the Oscar broadcast, immediately corrected Robin to say that Jennifer Aniston presented with Jack Black.

     During Howard's take on the possible XM-Sirius bankruptcy filing, Robin reported to Howard and the audience that Sirius has not had a corporate town hall meeting for a very long time (which has caused her to speculate negative things).
     
     Gary immediately came over the squawk box to correct Robin and inform everyone that Sirius had a town hall meeting just two and a half weeks ago.
     
     How many times must Robin be corrected about her facts before she attempts to make a change? There must be some psychological condition in her that makes her not care that she is often corrected about her misstatements.

     When Artie was talking about his ulcer Robin confidently stated that ulcers are totally stress related and every doctor will attest to that. WRONG. Just because she was a nurse 40 years ago for all of 10 minutes does not mean she knows anything about medicine. According to WebMD "Ulcers in the GI tract were once attributed to stress but most are now believed to be due to infection with the bacteria H. pylori. GI ulcers, however, may be made worse by stress, smoking and other noninfectious factors." Wrong again Dr. Quivers.
     http://www.webmd.com/search
     

     During the Dave Attell appearance this morning while Dave was talking about he and Artie trying out for a part in the movie The Wrestler, Dave said that the "bald guy from the Sopranos" also was called in. Robin immediately screeched out "Paulie." With that Artie quietly said "Artie Bucco."
     Again, know it all wannabe Robin has to yell out things to show that she is involved and knowing what is going on and again she shouts out something that is incorrect.
     

     During her news segment, the conversation went to the possible reduction to 5-day-a-week mail delivery by the U.S. Postal Service due to lack of money.
     
     Howard complained that instead of spending huge amounts of money for the Iraq war, the government could use that money to keep the mail delivered on Saturdays.
     
     Howard then asked how much money is being spent for the Iraq war?
     
     Instead of Robin answering "I don't know," which is how I and the majority of people would have, Robin had to answer with yet another inaccurate fact. (Or she just could have kept her mouth shut.)
     
     Robin told Howard and everyone that the Iraq war is costing $10 billion dollars per week.
     
     According to some studies reported by the Associated Press, the Iraq war is costing approximately $12 billion dollars per month. (That equals $3 billion dollars per week, of course.)
     
     Robin knows that some of her answers have been challenged by the gang recently and proven to be inaccurate, yet she cannot hold back answering even though she has to know she doesn't really know the correct answer.
     
     The Associated Press report stating the $12 billion dollar amount is at:

     During the Kate Winslet audio segment during the news in which she revealed her mother won a pickled onion contest, Howard asked, "What is a pickled onion contest?" Robin Quivers, who has never let lack of knowledge get in the way of answering a question, responded with "...they have to eat them."
     
     No, Robin. Kate Winslet's mother and sister did NOT enter a pickled onion eating contest, dumb dumb. The contest was, of course, about determining the best tasting pickled onion. How do I know this? I looked it up from a REAL news source:

     With Artie asleep in the green room, the discussion naturally turned to whether or not he is back on heroin. Benjy suggested that one could feel tired as a side-effect from taking the opioid addiction medication Subutex.
     
     Robin's firm and immediate response: "No you don't".
     
     Thank you Robin for once again puporting to know medical facts when, in fact, you do not. While Artie may or may not be back on heroin, the medically recognized truth is that one possible side-effect of taking buprenorphine (marketed in the U.S. as Subutex or Suboxone) is indeed drowsiness.

     Thank goodness Robin is no longer a nurse. I'd feel far more comfortable receiving health care services from a half-way decent veterinary school graduate than from Nurse Know-It-All.

     Robin reported a story that she got from the Times Online in the UK that a man had regrown a finger tip that had been chopped off during an accident by sprinkling magic powder on it. She declared that "Scientists are claiming an amazing breakthrough," which is not true.
     
     Robin goes on to read from the bogus story that four weeks later the man had regrown his finger to its original length. Then one minute later she asserts that four months later the man had regrown his finger.
     
     Was it four weeks or four months? The article she references says four weeks, so this part is simply another case of Robin's inability to get her news facts straight before "reading" them on the air.
     
     Howard asked, "How do they do it?" Robin responded, "They put some kind of magic powder on it." Yet, the very news article she was holding in her hand specifically states that the powder came from a pig's bladder, hardly "magical" in nature.
     
     Now, as ridiculous as it is to believe that powdered pig's bladder could cause a regrowth of a human finger, Robin never questioned that. Nor did she question the validity of the news article.
     
     And she also missed the fact that the "magic powder" in question was produced by a company owned by the victim's brother. Is it just sheer coincidence that this miraculous, magnificent breakthrough of miracle powder was developed by a company owned by the brother of the man who reportedly initially benefited from it? Robin didn't read that part of the news story.
     
     She might also want to know for future reference that Times Online produces a good amount of fake/satirical/parody content.

     Robin repeatedly call Chris " maddog" Russo Mike, and when Howard called her on it she said it only happened once and the other times it happened she was saying something about his microphone. Now she is making mistakes but when she is caught she is lying about it.
     
     Even John Hein called Robin out because she called Chris "Mike."

     Robin read a story about a family in "Amsterdam" whose father kept his daughter captive in a basement dungeon with children he had fathered with her. In fact, that was in Amstetten, Austria, several hundred miles away from Amsterdam, not to mention it's in a different country.
     
     Quivers style news reporting at its best!
     

     As soon as I heard Robin say this, I knew she had to be wrong... even though I admittedly had no idea who constituted the correct answer.
     
     Robin: "[Barack Obama is] the first black man to represent a party in the national election."
     
     The earliest African-American, party-nominated male candidate for President I can confirm is noted Black Panther Party activist Eldridge Cleaver - running for President under the Peace and Freedom Party banner in 1968.

     http://www.cnn.com/US/9805/01/cleaver.late.obit/
     
     Perhaps there was even an even earlier candidate? Anyway, there are more than two political parties in the United States, Robin.
     
     One good thing about a Queen Quivers' newscast: it creates far more good questions than good answers.

     During her news story about the Pope's papal pardon of a Holocaust Denier and how it Angered Jews Robin said: "Elie Wiesel, you know him". Well apparently she does not as she managed to completely mispronounce both his first and last name.
     

     Robin said "all" the commercials aired during the Super Bowl would be in 3D, however, only 2 commercials will be in 3D:
     
     As reported, at the Super Bowl 2009 you will be able to see two 3D commercials. DreamWorks' Monsters vs. Aliens and PepsiCo's SoBe Lifewater will be featured in 3D on Super Bowl Sunday
     
     Apparently you will also be able to reuse them the following day for a special episode of "Chuck"
     
     Thanks for confusing me Robin!!

     Robin reported that Uno was ranked the healthiest restaurant. When Howard and Artie asked how that could be (since they are famous for pizza) Robin replied that she didn't know how they ranked the restaurants.
     
     If Robin had read the full report, she would have found this paragraph that explains exactly what Howard and Artie were asking about:
     
     "To zero in on the healthiest restaurants, we separated national chains that offer sit-down service from those that have primarily counter or fast service and scored each group based on criteria from our expert panel. Out of 43 sit-down and 53 fast-service chains, those that did not provide any nutritional information (maybe next year, Cheesecake Factory!) were automatically eliminated. The rest were judged on healthy food preparation; the availability of organic or hormone-free foods; whole grains on the menu; limited or no trans-fats in all dishes; low-sodium options; healthy beverages; and portion control; as well as how easily you, the customer, can access nutritional information—so you know exactly what you’re getting in your spaghetti and meatballs."

     This morning during Robin's news, they were discussing last night's Idol Gives Back. It was mentioned that Brad Pitt was on the show and Robin chimed in, "...Brad Pitt came in via videotape..." He actually was on stage. Anyone who watched will remember the sound woman coming out to mic him and commented that it was a good excuse to touch him, as well as the fact that the live crowd went crazy as he came out.

     Over this past weekend, one of the biggest stories all over the news was the tragic plane crash that involved passengers DJ AM and Travis Barker.
     
     Of course, this being such a big story, Howard brought it up fairly quickly into the show this morning. Howard though the crash took place here in the US. Robin chimed in stating that the crash occurred out side the US. Howard disagreed again, but Robin said it happened in Argentina. Howard backed down, thinking Robin might be right.
     
     Howard then got a note that it happened in Columbia.
     
     Robin perked up and said she thought it was not here (in the US).
     
     A moment later Howard announced it was Columbia, South Carolina.
     
     I knew it was here in the USA, and specifically in South Carolina, and I am not the "newsperson" of the Howard Stern Show. Again, I feel she should have known, but even if she was busy this past weekend, she should not have said it was Argentina unless she was sure.
     
     Robin, at this point in your career, are you just phoning it in now?

     Robin said that actress Anne Heche is joining the cast of another TV series (her series "Men In Trees" was canceled).
     
     As of today, there has been no announcement of Anne Heche joining the cast of any TV series.
     
     Unlike Robin, I check multiple sources before I make a statement.
     
     I searched Anne Heche at IMDB (the premiere site for all celebrities concerning the previous and upcoming jobs). No new TV job is listed for her.
     
     I also searched Wikipedia.
     
     I also searched "Anne Heche" at both Google News and Yahoo News. The only recent news stories about her talk about her divorce settlement and that "Men In Trees" has been canceled. There have been no articles published concerning an announcement that Anne Heche has joined the cast of a new or existing TV series. (Of course, in the future Anne Heche might be returning to a new or existing TV show, but as of today, Robin was absolutely wrong when she said Anne Heche has joined the cast of another TV show.)

     Howard commented that Kid Rock called him and left a message with his phone number, but he left out one of the digits. Robin replied that he could have tried to figure it out since there are only 9 possible options.
     
     First of all, there are 10 numbers on the keypad, not 9. Secondly, Robin assumes Howard knew which digit was left out. Was it the last one? The first one? Some digit in-between? Without knowing which digit is missing, the possibility of guessing the correct number is far more difficult than Howard would be willing to waste time on.

     Howard decided to comment on the new archbishop coming to New York City.
     
     Robin just had to chime in, express
