Random Thoughts

I've been so busy with work lately, that i haven't had time to find amusing material for xanga.  Sorry folks.  But here's some of the things that have been on my mind lately.

1.  If Don Imus had said 'slanty-eyed chinks' instead of 'nappy headed hos' he'd probably still have his job.  What do you think?  I personally do not think he should have been fired.  I think what he said was stupid, but what happened to the whole free speech thing that supposedly makes our country so great?  If you don't like what he as to say, don't listen to his show.  I refuse to believe that Howard Stern didn't say worse things on the public airwaves prior to his move to satellite radio. 

2.  Why is getting a gun license in boston so damn hard.  Now i'm going to be delayed for another two months.

3.  Vacation in 1 week.  w00t.

4.  I'm currently in week 1 of a 16 week training program to run a half marathon.  Running blows.  The race that i'm running in august is actually only 9 miles.  But i figure i better train to run more than 9 to ensure that i can finish

5.  New hobby other than hunting/sport shooting = sports betting.  I've bet on the last 2 UFC championships and i'm currently up about 140 bucks.  If anyone else out there bets on MMA, let me know.  I'd like to talk strategy with you.

6.  It sleeted today.  It's Mid-April.  This is retarded.  Is 'sleeted' a real word?

7.  How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Cheers,


J

yea he shouldnt have gotten fired. ball-less CBS execs.

if a woodchuck could chuck wood, then a woodchuck would chuck as much as a woodchuck could chuck.

yea that's why "ching chong chong" rosie is still on the air. we'll have our day...but we still have yet to make a dent in the media. getting fired from CBS didn't mean he didn't have the right to say it. he had every right, i'm sure. he can say whatever he wants whenever he wants to. if sticking "nappy headed hos" on the back of a bumper sticker doesn't count as a hate crime or some sort (i don't know, i don't practice law), he could probably do it.

the firing was the result of sponsors exercising the same freedom imus has to say whatever the hell he wants.

-> imus says nappy headed hos, because he can.
-> sponsors don't like nappy headed hos.
-> sponsors pull ads, because they can.
-> CBS needs (sponsors > imus)
-> game over imus.

from that angle, i have no problem with him being fired. sponsors/advertisers are within their rights to do whatever they want with their money. cbs needs to survive. i've never listened to his show, so i can't tell you how much he's worth...but i am sure given his influence, some other station will pick him up. one that can pay for it.

now if he were arrested, censored, and his comments erased from record, then i would be like- WTF.
