GET OVER IT!

Oh, dear, oh, my. Some people get all bent out of shape by a misplaced apostrophe or a (supposedly) incorrectly verbed noun in medias back formation. Some of us could care [sic] less. I guess life on Earth will continue no matter what. It's all a bit like the frat boys in that Borat movie trying to sue for being made to look ridiculous. Sigh!


Ceci n'est pas un seing.

Watch it, olly, it wasn't Mister Tee who pitied the fool, it was Bobby "Blue" Bland...remember?

Bobby "Blue" Bland -- I Pity The Fool

I pity the fool, I pity the fool, I pity the fool,
I pity the fool that falls in love with you,
and expects you to be true, I pity the fool
Look at the people,
I know you wonder what they're doing
They're just standing there,
watching you make a fool out of me
Look at me people
I know you wonder what they're doing
They're just standing there,
watching you make a fool out of me
I pity the fool that falls in love with you
I pity the fool, I pity the fool who falls in love with you
You'll break his heart one day then you'll laugh and walk away
I pity the fool.

Apologize, olly.

That's what Imus in the morning and in the afternoon has been doing since he committed a silly social indiscretion and was thrown off the out-of-whack social bus. Big deal.

Whatcha want? Government intervention into social policing?

Yes, you're right we are all part of the problem. It's a bit like quantum physics. By watching an event we make the event happen.

Government intervention into social policing?
Already a fact of life.

Bobby 'blue' Bland
Strange, I read the lyrics but it was mr Tee's voice I could hear singing the song.

Wups--I completely forgot about the hos part when I made my above post. No, a person shouldn't be that insulting.

No, but even with Jackson/Sharpton napalm dumped in, none should be so thin-skinned about rude comments from a radio hack to be "scarred for life" and require "a healing process". One would think some derogatory Mohammad cartoons had been drawn.

One would also think that being a white male (as I assume you are, Aramis) one doesn't know much about being a young black woman. And I'm really gonna try to stop here, because this isn't *that kind of forum.

Imus is coming back. He's agreed to do a co-host talk show with Andrew Young, to be called the Imus and Andy Show.

Really TEd, well let me tell you about the Andrew Young and Milo show.

In the late late fifties I rabble roused a hundred students from Phillips High School as I spoke from the Jefferson County courthouse steps and railed against the wanton mixing of the two races.

Now the Andrew and Milo show (remix 1998).

Lollie (Gary Barnes'wife) and I were waiting to get on a plane to Miami as the ticket lady argued with Andrew Young. His luggage was 20 lbs over the limit and he was was going to Africa to bring peace to mankind.

People boarding behind him were getting mad so I offered (since I only had a tennis racket) to carry Andrew's oversized luggage onto the plane.

I did. And he mumbled "thank you" and by carring Andrew Young's luggage onto that plane I became assuaged of all of my transgressions.

I am wonderful.
