I dedicate this entry to Kurt Vonnegut. May he rest in peace.

Well, Don Imus did it again. Last week , he referred to the RU Lady Scarlet Knights (the 2007 NCAA women's basketball runners-up) as "nappy-headed ho's". What steams me about this is how he can say that he's sorry when he has been saying shit like this for decades, and this is but the latest in a series of outrageous comments that he and his ilk on the right have made. In September 2005, William Bennett, Reagan's former Secretary of Education and George H.W. Bush's Drug Czar, said that if you want to see a reduction in crime, we should "abort black babies." A few weeks after last year's midterm elections, Glenn Beck asked the Representative-elect Keith Ellison (D-MN) "to prove that he wasn't working with our enemies." (Ellison is the first Muslim to be elected to the House of Representatives. He is also Minnesota's first black congressman. Beck would go on to say that the word faggot is a "naughty word", not a true epithet. Ann Coulter a few weeks ago at the American Conservative Union's CPAC referred to presidential hopeful John Edwards as a "faggot". While I am glad that MSNBC is no longer doing the simulcast of his show, I want CBS and WFAN to cut their ties with him as well, and send a message to those like Hannity, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Beck, and Boortz. You are free to speak as you please, but be prepared to take responsibility for your actions.
