| TIDBITS Are you a Democrat, a Republican, or a Redneck? The answer can be found by posing the following question: You're walking down a deserted street with your wife & your 2 small children. Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife & charges at you. You are carrying a Glock cal 40 & you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you & your family. What do you do? Democrat's Answer: Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club & knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway & what kind of message does this send to society & and to my children? Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? If I were to grab his knees & hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? Should I call 9-1-1? Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have paint & weed day & make this happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior. This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for few days & try to come to a consensus. Republican's Answer: BANG! Redneck's Answer: BANG! BANG! BANG! Click..... Sounds of reloading. BANG! BANG! BANG! Daughter, "Nice grouping, Daddy! Were those the Winchester silver tips or hollow points?" Son, "Can I shoot the next one!" Wife, "You ain't taking that to the taxidermist! |
Cat Rides Bus
No one's sure if the Fish and Chips shop at this cat's departure bus stop is its destination but this clever cat, complete with one blue and one green eye, rides the bus every day.
From the Dailymail.com:
Bus drivers have nicknamed a white cat Macavity after it has started using the No 331 several mornings a week.
The feline, which has a purple collar, gets onto the busy Walsall to Wolverhampton bus at the same stop most mornings - he then jumps off at the next stop 400m down the road, near a fish and chip shop.
As an aside, I'm willing to bet that this handsome cat is deaf. White cats, particularly those with mismatched eyes, are almost always deaf. It's a genetic thing. Which doesn't mean these cats don't live long and happy lives or what the deafness might have to do with the bus riding. Cats are notoriously leery of loud noises but a deaf cat would not be fearful of a loud bus and noisy passengers.
Bullshit Alert!
Heh. So hip-hop artists who call women "hos" and other derogatory terms are only issuing "poetic expressions" whereas Don Imus, well for God's sake people, Don Imus is NOT a hip-hop artist! Get it?
From NewsTrack.com:
Don Imus' racial slur against the Rutgers University women's basketball team differs from hip-hop, the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network in New York said.
Chairman Russell Simmons and President Dr. Benjamin Chavis of the non-profit organization said in a statement Friday they wanted address "false comparisons" between Imus and hip-hop. Imus called the women's team "nappy-headed hos" in a broadcast last week. Since then, Imus has apologized and met with team members and "Imus in the Morning," was canceled by CBS and MSNBC-TV, which simulcast the broadcast.
"HSAN believes in freedom of artistic expression. We also believe, with that freedom, comes responsibility. Don Imus is not a hip-hop artist or a poet," the two said in the statement.
Hip-hop artists sing about the world around them and sometimes use language that may be uncomfortable for the listener. Because language is powerful, Simmons and Chavis said the intention must be clear.
"Comparing Don Imus' language with hip-hop artists' poetic expression is misguided and inaccurate and feeds into a mindset that can be a catalyst for unwarranted, rampant censorship," they said.
I do not like Don Imus and have never liked this disgusting man. The kind call him the sort who insults everyone regardless of race, creed, religion or political affiliation. The unkind call him a creep with no taste.
I've always been of the belief that being mean is just not an admirable characteristic.
But to call those despicable hip-hop singers who demean women with their language on a much more regular basis than Don Imus-POETS-insults me until the end of time.
As for Don Imus and his "nappy headed hos", that comment was just mean and totally unwarranted. So far as I'm concerned I'm glad this fellow got kicked off the air. But those "poets" of the world of hip-hop put the notion of language as a form of racial discrimination and bigotry under serious question. For quite a while American society has looked the other way at the language of the hip-hop culture. Even when caucasion members of society are lambasted for using the same misogynistic language, Americans still tend to give the gangsta rappers wide leeway.
Like anything else, someone should tell Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, it's gonna be pushed too far and one day some goofball celebrity's gonna do a Don Imus or a Richard Kramer and all of America's gonna look the other way at the howls of outrage.
Speaking of Imus...Get a Load of Russia's Take on the Flap
When I was a young woman, Russia's official state newspaper, Pravda, was the stuff of jokes. Now I come upon this story regarding the Don Imus flap and heh....well read it yourself.
From Pravda.com:
In a clear sign of its intent to reign in dissident American media personalities, and their growing influence in American culture, US War Leaders this past week launched an unprecedented attack upon one of their most politically 'connected', and legendary, radio hosts named Don Imus after his threats to release information relating to the September 11, 2001 attacks upon that country.
Unable to attack such a powerful media figure as Don Imus, directly, the US War Leaders, and as we have seen many times before, resorted to a massive media attack against him using as the reason a racial slur against a US woman's basketball team, but which has been pointed out by other media outlets was not by any means a rare occurrence for the legendary radio icon to make
