Let's Pull Our Heads Out of Our Asses, Shall We?

I'm sure you've heard Don Imus is getting a beat-down because he called the Rutger's women's basketball team a dirty name. It didn't start with an "N" if that's what you're thinking. Good Lord on a Wheat Thin what would have happened if he'd used the N-word!

I understand their anger. They have worked very hard to get where they are, and I'm sure it hasn't been a racial pic-nic to get there, plus they are role models for younger girls. However, I just read that the President of this country was asked to weigh in on Imus' punishment. Did he think it was enough? Did he want to add anything to it?

Now just wait one fucking minute! What the hell does the president have to do with this? Are we going to run to him with every minor insult and entertainment skirmish in this country? Doesn't he have enough to worry about, REAL worries, mind you, not some politically correct bullshit, without having to deal with the wittle hurt feewings of a basketball team?

There's that whole Iraq issue, in case you've forgotten about that. I don't know if you realize it but we as a country are totally fucked and it has nothing to do with racism. Racism is the least of our worries right now. We have the possibility of global extinction facing us, our prison systems make more criminals in order to make more money, our children are undereducated, our homeless are being beaten and murdered like dogs, the world thinks we're a bunch of assholes, and many leaders of other countries would like nothing better than to send us a nuclear Christmas.

Don Imus is an asshole. He's rude, ignorant, callous, and did I mention an asshole? No one is surprised by this except Rutgers. He should apologize. The media hell-storm he's in the middle of is deserved. He will likely never recover from this. He has been suspended for two weeks. He's going to meet with the team and they'll hash it out. No extra parties needed, thanks.

Issue OVER.
Move ON.
