Back to the Weekly Notes 2007 Archives Imus: He was
fired. So what? It’s
all about money. The networks paid him because he has an audience. They do
not care and never have cared about the ethics involved. He is a vulgar Shock
Jock. They fired him, but they will put on another one just like him. They say
he went over the line. Bull! He was born over the line. He has never been on
the decent side of the line. He should not have been fired
because of the Maya Angelou got it
right. “Vulgarity is vulgarity.” It does not matter who does it.
Our entire culture is vulgar. We have degenerated to a level of titillating
vulgarity that used to be popular among preteen children. It probably still
is, but to see it become common in our adult population is truly tragic. We
have sunk to a new low in Person of the Week: ABC picked Robinson as
their person of the week. That’s fine. He was
the first Negro player and he broke down a big barrier. All of the current
strutting loud-mouthed hotshots owe their careers to his remarkable courage. I only ask, if we are going to have a good person of the week should
we not also have an A-hole of the week? Sure, there are a
lot of candidates, but at one a week, we could do 52 in a year. Heck,
just start with the president, pick Sharpton next,
and work down from there. Imus could make the cut
somewhere along the line. As long as we are on
people of the week, how about having the irrelevant person of the week? For
sure, McCain could qualify easily in the first round. Maliki the pretender
could come in for the second week. Then, how about having some recognition
for the liar of the week? Almost everyone in the president’s cabinet
will manage to do it on a fairly regular basis. Most
of the captains of industry could also make this one. I’m
also for having recognition for the screwup of the
week. Surely Gonzales could be the first choice for
this. Pompous Ass of the week would be a good one to recognize. Pelosi would
be my first choice in this category. Missing Email: Some White House emails were accidentally deleted, so they say. Ho,
ho, ho! Lest we forget, there is a precedent for this. Remember Oliver North? He performed a similar service for
George the Elder. Unfortunately for Bush, he got
caught and spilled his guts to save his own pitiful butt. I don’t think there is a chance of catching the
villains in the missing emails. Think of This: If we could take all of
the money and effort that the world wastes in the production of military
hardware and apply it to medical research, we could probably eliminate
disease from the world. He is running for
president. Duh! So is everyone else. He disagrees
with McCain. Who doesn’t, except for George?
McCain is still talking about the chaos that will happen in the Inept: Our government is
dishonest, but that is not the real problem. The real problem is they are
inept, amateur. They bungle everything they try. I think they should hire
professionals to do their dirty work and quit using bunglers like the FBI and
CIA. If you want to take out Bin Laden or Al Sadr,
hire a mafia hit-man for goodness sake. It would be
cheaper in the long run and much more effective. Professor Roy: She was the English
teacher of this psycho who murdered all of those victims at Virginia Tech.
She read his stuff and knew he was whacko. She called the campus cops long
before he did his rampage. As usual, the cops brushed it off. I don’t know what you call the cops, but I call them
accessory before the fact. I don’t know if
they could have prevented what happened, but they did not even try. Another bunch of fools
are blaming guns and, in particular, Drugs: The same logic applies
to drugs. We have wasted billions of bucks trying to stop the illegal drug
trade. We have had absolutely no effect. Addicts do not support the drug
trade. So called recreational users do that. So long
as middle class Americans want drugs, someone will supply them. Some day, I
can hope our government will begin to look at cause instead of treating
consequences as causes. Gleason of We have another example
of a good idea being ruined by a political hack. It
is a good thing if we can convince kids to exercise, right? So Gleason gives an example of how not to do it. He is
sponsoring a bill that will make it mandatory for kids to exercise in school
for 30 minutes every day. Negative pressure applied from the wrong level in
the wrong way. Except for the suck-ups the kids will
hate it. Duh! Now the army is going to
build a wall to separate one group of crazies from another group of crazies
