This essay also has a link to sign a petition to have Limbaugh taken off Armed Forces Radio. You do have to create an account at whitehouse.gov to sign, but all you have to give is your name, an email, and your zip (you can always make it up if you want).

I've spent the last two days trying to convince my 16 year old that she is not a "slut."
