Don Imus crashes and burns

It is only Wednesday, well, actually it is Tuesday evening, but this will go up tomorrow. Still, it has been quite a busy few days in the news.

Radio personality Don Imus has always had an acerbic sense of humor, coupled with his tendency to take no prisoners as he marches through the halls of people he does not like or agree with. I have heard him take on many professions, politicians and individuals and one thing is certain. Imus is not a racist; in fact, he hates everyone equally, regardless of race, creed or color.

So, when I first heard the news report that Imus had made insulting remarks against The Rutgers women's basketball players, calling them collectively, "nappy-headed hos," I thought, well, Imus has finally did it, he has insulted people who are not public figures and open to anything thrown at them, he will pay for that insult.

Yesterday I was watching Fox news and the news person was discussing the insults with Ann Coulter. He had mentioned the racists insult made by Don Imus, to which Ann Coulter immediately stated they were not racists. The news person told her that she must live on a different planet than the rest of the world, I loved it. She can be so smug and self-righteous that it makes me sick.

All I have to say is, perhaps Imus has learned that everyone in the world is not open to insult.

For anyone who actually cares

The entire affair surrounding the death of Anna Nichole Smith played out exactly as she lived, a media circus.

The results of the DNA testing were made public yesterday and they have shown that photographer Larry Birkhead is the father of Anna Nicole Smith's infant daughter, Dannielynn.

This should have not come as a surprise to anybody who remembered why Anna Nichole moved to the Bahamas' in the first place, to try and stop the paternity tests that Birkhead was requesting.

Now that the biggest part of this media circus is over, I still question why everyone was fighting over the infant in the first place. I'll bet if she was just a new infant, not the possible heir to a fortune, no one would have cared.
