How Soon We Forget
Spending a Saturday at work doing some housecleaning. I have a unique filing system where I shove all my paperwork into what my co-workers call my "bowling bag". Ok, it doesn't look like your wallstreet briefcase, but it works for me. Anway, It's getting rather heavy, so that means it's time for a clean out. I am a news junkie, and a history nut so It's hard for me to throw anything out because it's, well, "history", right? Anyway, it's amazing to me how soon we forget what was, on a certain day, "major news". Remeber Kyra Phillips? The CNN reporter who didn't realize her mic was still on when she was talking trash about her sister-in-law? Remember that creep, John Mark Karr? How about Borat? I mean you couldn't go a day without hearing "Borat speek" and now, silence. I did stumble upon some good Indianapolis Colts jokes, though like: What's the difference between the Colts and a dollar bill?
You can still get four quarters out of a dollar bill. Obviously written before the Superbowl. Mabye some things are better forgotten.

You don't have a blog for the Imus/rutgers relationship so I will post here. How soon we forget that Jesse Jackson was right behing the B*tch that ruined 3 guys lifes by lying, who was using race as a tool against the law, but the minute she's found as a lyer, nothing is said or done. The girl should be held responsible just as Jesse wanted the 3 boys to be held responsible, and brought up on charges for falsifing reports, it happens in the trade industry. Also, for Imus to be fired because of a comment,"Nappy-headed Hoe", is Ludacris, who happens to use it in one of his songs. There have been numerous movies, a broadway play, books, and music that use that exact phrase, why can't he? Jackson referred to New York as Himee town, why isn't he fired or forced to resign from Rainbow Push? Same with Sharpton who uses every word under the sun to describe white people. I don't see them making a stand on their own kind for glamourtizing it in Rap, or stopping their race from leading the charts in the category of Criminal activity, which they put the Mob to shame, or helping the fact that single black males lead the race(no pun intended) in walking away from there jobs as of 2006. Thanks for the time, but its always the same, "How Soon We Forget, there always wanting something for nothing." That's my free speech for the day.
