Whew, am I ever relieved. Just when I thought that we had reached the pinnacle of critical news reporting with the announcement of the father of Anna Nicole Smith’s baby, along came Don Imus to give us something else to sink our teeth into. My goodness, the multitude of apologies never gets old! I am perched on the edge of my seat anxiously awaiting the next pardon request. I am so excited about the next set of words chosen to express the very same thing that the suspense is about to kill me.
I was beginning to think that the media might have to resort to reporting menial issues like the war on terror, the revolving border door, Dianne Feinstein’s “indiscretion”, or Bill Clinton’s relationship with a state-sponsored terrorist organization. Boring! Really people, the fact that Congress is playing political chicken with our troops’ lives – who calls that news? Why certainly paternity and racial slurs far exceed the importance of these issues.
How many reports on soldiers risking their lives to save fellow soldiers do we have to endure? Blah, blah, blah. Or the real tear-jerkers about Iraqi children being rescued by American soldiers? Boo-hoo.
I say give me the hard-core, cutting-edge, news-breaking information. I need to know what asinine statement Rosie O’Donnell made on the View or how many sperm donors an over-rated Hollywood celeb could possibly have.
Show me Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson portraying unforgiving Christians by raking Don Imus over the coals while spitting in the faces of the Rutgers women basketball team by implying that they are not articulate enough to express their own response. I am not sure which is more offensive, a past-his-prime radio show host or two striving, unforgiving preachers. In either case, it all disgusts me.
Regardless, it is great to see that entertainment and news have meshed so nicely that it is impossible to distinguish one from the other.
May God bless our troops!

Please help me out with something? Al Sharpton is calling for the head of Don Imus but yet when he himself climbed up on his soapbox to proclaimed that it was a group of white who "raped" a black girl only later to find out she lied, where was the apology from Mr. Sharpton. The likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson want the world to be equal with racial diversity and so do I and what Don Imus said was completely stupid. But the next time Al and Jesse think about jumping up and screaming, you might want to take the time to look at your own community first. Why aren't you calling for record producers heads when hip hop artists like Snoop Dog and 50 cent who have said even worse things about women. Oh wait, I will be accused of being racial by saying that. People, wake up, take care of your own glass house before you throw a stone a mine!!!!!
