WTKK

10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on WTKK - radiothon for Fisher House Boston, which provides housing for families of disabled or wounded vets being treated at local VA hospitals. There'll be a bunch of dignitaries on the radiothon, from Colin Powell to Keith Lockhart. And Playboy's Miss January, 2010.

The Globe reports WTKK suspended Jimmy Severino today for saying something awful about Mexicans and swine flu this week. Exactly what, however, the Globe doesn't say Globe posts some audio. Down in New York, El Diario La Prensa fills in that gap:

... For Severin, Mexicans are "criminaliens" and primitives who export venereal diseases to the United States. The shock jock referred to the strain of flu as "swine-aka-Janet Napolitano flu."

That's not the end of Severin's anti-immigrant rants. Immigrants are leeches and their children, he warns, don't speak English, will retard schools, add to crime and spread disease. Amid all of this, Severin has the audacity to state, "I don't mean to hype the story." ...

El Diario La Prensa details his comments even more in this post in Spanish - basically, Severin said it's not Mexicans' fault they're wild, uneducated savages who don't get their kids vaccinated, he's only stating the facts, and one of those facts is that those kids who got the flu in New York got it from illegal Mexicans.

Did Imus really threaten to gun him down in cold blood? Good for ratings, if nothing else.

Michael Graham charged with running red light, driving with a revoked license in Framingham, according to Jessica Heslam, who also posts Graham's statement on how it's all Rachel Kaprelian's fault, because under her command, the Registry no longer sends out notices of revocation, and he didn't know.

Innocent, etc.
