How did you get the Saffron? That is a buttload.

Well its a land grant - so it is an open question - can the state of Virginia be sued out of existence. It really opens up some constitutional questions.

I think that is as true as it is prescient.

South Carolina Nazis?, I hate those guys.

I know. I was before.

All joking aside, this is terrible.

There's a nice picture of Daisy Fuentes. Those Widsor Pilates lessons seem to be paying off.

Unless the guy is shooting Ho's, I am not paying attention.

There is one angle of this story that I find unbelievably insincere. That is that MSNBC and CBS took the high road - the truth is that both of these corporations sell the news. To sell the news you need accesss to people that people want to watch or listen too, and you need to be able to sell it. Once you lose all your major sponsors it is easy to find time for morality. Once you realize that your choice to appear on the show may cost you access as a reporter or votes as a politician, you aren't going to go on. Suddenly everybody found Jesus as soon as the money and access dried up. This was hardly a free speech issue as much as a sales and access issue. Now everyone at NBC says this is a conversation that America should be having, while the conversation they don't want to have is how all this is primarily sales driven.

Roll Roll Roll in ze hay.

Hasn't the Thurmond-Sharpton family endured enough? We should all be thanking Al for abandoning the velure track suits, he righted a terrible wrong and has never received full credit.

A great point.

I wasn't offended, but if someone with a national forum called someone I coached something similar, I think her response was much more dignified than mine would be. I would have said fire the !@#$ing senile !@#$ing douchebag (which she didn't). And then Imus could have said "OK, X. Benedict Aeurback is an idiot" and he could have left it at that.

She said they were offended. I see no reason not to take her at her word. Imus admitted as much, so why would you try to draw a different conclusion?

for me it was Jailbird.

The guy's a hack.

Brilliant. Just Brilliant.

The man that taught America to laugh in the presence of Suicide, Genocide, Cancer and a world with William F. Buckley in it. "Wake Up!" - Kilgore Trout.

I booked a trip to Rongo through the Rongovian Embassy.

Wes Goforth was in Buffalo 89 to 94. But Mike DeGeorge could have kicked his ass and I hope he did.

Not before Ed Kilgore, but he was on channel 2. Early or Mid-90's. I think Allison Rosati is in Chicago now. She was a cutie.

Maybe if Imus had tried to sing it, he'd be fine?

All I am left with is a T-shirt and my memories.
