To comment on your humor...

A very close friend of mine once opined that the problem Jews have is that they carry a chip on their shoulder. Stark and broadly untrue when speaking of being enslaved, subjugated, and eradicated, but the fact is that there is a tad bit of truth there.

Blacks too must realize that the truths within untrue statements have a basis and should be confronted. Not with the ousting of someone with influence, but with education for everyone involved...which means EVERYONE! Using Imus rather than ending his career, using Howard Cosell rather than ending his career, using anyone in a fair and creative manner makes a whole hell of a lot more sense!

I'm willing to bet Imus' wife gave him a ration of shit the likes of which would have scared the hell out of the "shirts" at MSNBC. The man is a shock-jock; but one with political and social clout...surely not a moron's shock-jock that wears women's panties and squeezes' "ho's" tits on national TV (the problem with channel surfing late at night is that you run across shit like that).

But no, why do something creative when you can make "create" news out of something that should have been handled far differently. They didn't achieve what they wanted to do any way...people are still talking about fired judges!

No contrition...action! Allow Imus to continue being the pain in the ass that occassionally makes people THINK. Send him to a "fairness" seminar and/or clinic...but use him, not throw him away.

But then, when did anyone with any REAL power in the media ever use their brains for anything but making money. And as for the advertisers...I'm willing to bet that at least one, if not quite a few more that threatened to stop advertising (as if they would have) are run by people who claim not to be bigots and do nothing but give lip service to that ideal. Within the confines of their corporate offices they speak derisively about blacks almost every day.

If I had more money I'd soon be broke...but I'd have more LPs!
