Don Imus and My dancing with the Stars moment.

ok, everyone else and their dog has weighed in on the Don Imus thing, so I will too.

Can anbody see how stupid this is?????

look I understand, he said some stupid stuff. let's all remember that he is a PROFESSIONAL SHOCK JOCK. that's what he gets (scratch that: GOT) paid to do. he got paid, and very well btw, to piss off people. The fact is only proven by the fact that CBS waited 8 days to see how the public would react before doing anything about it.

CBS Headman said he was Revolted by Imus' comments. So revolted in fact that he had to wait 8 days before firing Imus. Perhaps he had to work up his revolsion. I tell mny daughter if there's no tears in a couple of minutes of crying that she's trying too hard, and this dude worked his up for 8 days.
Now, I'm not sure about the rest of you, but if I don't get revolted immediatly, I'm not going to be revolted by it 8 days later. Perhaps what he was revolted by was a couple of advertisers pulling out of the show.

Let me add that to my knowledge I've never heard Don Imus' show. Not even once that I know about. I dont' know if this was his usual content or not. I do know his reputation though and I would think that this was not the worst thing he's ever said.

also let me weigh in on Al sharpton and Jesse Jackson (who is he ordained by anyway? who woul dhave him a a Rev?) I am not a racist man, nor have I ever been. But I truly believe that they are some of the worst" leaders" a group of people could ask for. Let's go through a quick look at how they operate:
1. a story breaks on something (sometimes only mildly related to race)
2. after a week or so to make sure this isn't a flash in the pan story, they show up with masses in tow to call press confrences about their "outrage" and "sympathies for the victims/families/etc."
3. they make appearances on the talking head programs (CNN, MSNBC< etc)
4. in a few days they move on to the next story.

what part of that changes anything? it was allready a story, what do they add to anything?

Jason whitaker (Ithink) said in an interview with Collan Cowherd (ESPNRadio) that he's still waiting for Jesse Jacksons apology to the Duke Lacrosse players who were erroneously accused of raping an african-american escort. I believe the quote from jason was, "I think I'll be waiting a long, long time for that one." But then again, he also called them ambulance chasers, so what does he know. What happened to good leadership? On any level.

ok I'm off my soap box now. on to other things.

I read an article the other day about increasing the spice of your love life by dancing seductively for your significant other. I thought "hey what could it hurt". I have stupid thoughts sometimes.
So there I was trying to impress my wife the other day by dancing for her. I put on some soft sultry music, and started to twirl ever so gracefully across the room towards her. She looked at me in amazement for I hadn't moved like that in years. After leaving her breathless with my willowy twists and intricate hand movements, I progressed towards the climax of my routine. I ripped off my shirt and started to swing it around my head (in some sort of ride'm cowboy manuver) and went for the final, and most recognizable move in all of male dancing. The Crotch cleaner. (I call it that because I can't think of anyother time you would use that move outside a shower towelling off your junk)

This is when things when horribly, horribly wrong.

As I started to whip my shirt between my legs I turned and was concentrating on catching the shirt on the other side to begin the forward and back thrusting that makes this move so beautiful. Unfortunaltey for me I was concentrating so hard on catching the other side of the shirt that I forgot to stop the front arm....... I realised this just as it went crashing into my crotch.
My wife's eyes got large, and then as the tears started to flow from my eyes, I heard the most loving, sweetest, sound a man could ever hear in that situation..... gales of uncontrollable laughter coming from my wife. oh yes, I, at this point, am curled up in the fetal position thrying to stop the pain and she has rolled off the couch in her laughter.

Not my most shining of moments.
