b. December 12, 1915. Played June Cleaver on _Leave it to Beaver_ (1957-1963). Had trouble finding work after the show was cancelled due to typecasting, but this worked to her advantage for the producers of the 1980 comedy movie _Airplane!_. Seeing the actress best known for playing the squeaky-clean Mrs. Cleaver speaking "jive" had audiences laughing until they couldn't breathe.

Get the frickinmug. The Neo-Pagan fundamentalism. Adherents, known as Paganazis, operate under the delusion that the United States is a Christian theocracy, or that Presiden Bush is a theocrat; additionally, Paganazis frequently living in a debilitating fear about "the Religious Right," which some even call "the Religious Reich".
Despite the fact that no one in America has lost the right to vote or gone to prison for failing to convert to Christianity, Paganazism continues to thrive in the Pagan community.

Get the paganazismmug. The primary radio source of liberal propaganda in the United States.
Unlike its commercial imitator, Air America, National Peoplesrepublic Radio (NPR, alias "National Public Radio") knows there isn't enough demand for its services to make it commerically viable (the extreme left being a tiny minority in the United States). Therefore, it will continue to function on donations, government subsidies, and grants from large corporations. Many of these corporations are involved in industries which the audience detests, proving Lenin's point about capitalists selling the ropes which will be used in their hangings.

At least National Peoplesrepublic Radio has decent music programming, which is more than I can say for Air America. You also can bet on being within range of a National Peoplesrepublic Radio station, too.
