Rush Limbaugh would be proud.

Up at the University of Alaska - Fairbanks, a student DJ was suspended for his anti-Reagan radio show. Suspended from the radio station, I presume; not from the school.

"I said that I was sick of all of the media that was glorifying Reagan and rewriting history that was pretty despicable," the suspended DJ said. "Basically, what the gist of the show was, it was a celebration that Ronald Reagan was dead, was finally dead."

He said he played requests such as "These Boots Are Made For Walking" and told listeners he wanted to "walk over the newly laid dirt" on Reagan's grave.

The DJ's real problem, at least in the eyes of the station management: he wasn't supposed to be on the air live - he was supposed to be playing a prerecorded show.
