Donovan

Stays At Florida.

This Is Just My Personal Opinion

But when I think of Michelle Malkin, femininity just doesn't come to mind.

Campaigner

I am a lonely visitor.

I came to late to cause a stir,

Though I campaigned all my life

towards that goal.

I hardly slept the night you wept

Our secret's safe and still well kept

Where even Michelle Malkin has got soul.

Even Michelle Malkin has got it,

Soul. Soul.

Traffic cops are all color blind.

People steal from their own kind.

Evening comes to early for a stroll.

Down neon streets the streaker streaks.

The speaker speaks,

but the truth still leaks,

Where even Laura Ingraham has got soul.

Even Laura Ingraham has got it,

Soul. Soul.

The podium rocks in the crowded waves.

The speaker talks of the beautiful saves

That went down long before

he played this role

For the hotel queens and the magazines,

Test tube genes and slot machines

Where even Ann Coulter has got soul,

Even Ann Coulter has got it,

Soul. Soul.

Hospitals have made him cry,

But there's always a free way in his eye,

Though his beach just got

too crowded for his stroll.

Roads stretch out like healthy veins,

And wild gift horses strain the reins,

Where even George Bush has got soul.

Even George Bush has got it,

Soul. Soul.

I've Said It Before

And I'll say it again.

Without cheating and swindling America would not be a superpower.

tiberius

You guys have 21 senators up for re-election in 2008. After reviewing the 2006 results, you better stop trolling at Salon and get your ass in gear.

First Off, I'm White

And let me say after witnessing this Imus fiasco, it's a darn good thing that whitey was not the minority in this country in the first couple hundred years and absorbed the abuse that blacks took. With the whining and crying that many whites are doing about this, God knows what they would have done back then as the oppressed. Or the sensitivity chip they would have on their shoulder about it today, probably the size of a boulder.

Yes, there is a double standard. A movie about white people not being able to jump is okay. A movie called black people can't whatever is not okay. Black rappers can say things that white media personalities with a public microphone cannot say.

As the majority in this country, and considering the sorry history in this country of the majority stomping on the minority, it seems that we could be big enough and secure enough to accept this double standard. It's a pretty small price to pay for the past. And it seems to be the only price.

But no. It's gotta be god-damn kindergarten with these conservatives--"So and So does it too. Make them stop too."

I'm Just Shocked....

....that we haven't heard this whole thing being blamed on Bill Clinton yet.

Some How Some Way

MSNBC dropping Imus, and rappers continuing to rap, has to be emboldening the terrorists.

Thursday, April 12, 2007 06:46 AM

Rap Music

Is just a scream of anger and frustration from the impovershed and forgotten inner cities.....The inner cities that explode every now and then and everyone goes--"Oh my".

Rap music is just a reminder that this problem is still there, and probably heading towards a massive boil-over somewhere down the line.

That's the reason the white establishment doesn't like rap. They just want it all to go away.

According to JM Walker

The first amendment and freedom of speech means that anyone who gets a gig as a talk show host gets to keep that job until he dies.

Business Is Business?

War is a very profitable adventure in some circles. Therefore our government has an obligation to those shareholders to always be attacking someone.

Thursday, April 12, 2007 09:17 AM

JM Walker

Okay okay okay, we have your point----You are opposed to the right of MSNBC television or CBS radio to terminate an employee for whatever reason they want.

Thursday, April 12, 2007 09:19 AM

By The Way

In your perfect world, who should be appointed to the panel that decides if a business can terminate an employee or not?

I'm Overweight

The NOTORIOUS B.I.G. made me eat all that stuff.

Thursday, April 12, 2007 09:59 AM

This Is Liable To...

...piss off the terrorists. The rappers are taking away all their pub.

Thursday, April 12, 2007 10:07 AM

I'm Starting To Smell

State constitutional amendments at the ballot box dealing with rap music.

That's the kind of thing that can deflect attention away from stuff like bombs going off in the Iraqi Politicians cafeteria inside the green zone.

Rap Music

Is the Karma payback for this county's despicable past history. And no, whites cannot say what the black rappers say and get away with it. Unless it's white rappers, but they have to be really, really good at it..... And when you are out driving, the car next to you may be windows down and Niggers With An Attitude on high volume.

DEAL WITH IT.

You Can Bet Your Butt

That if Joe Scarborough had been born black in the Los Angeles projects, he would have been one of the ringleaders of the black panthers.

I'm Getting Another Divorce

And I've been experimenting with oxycontin.

I'm not to blame. Limbaugh is.

You Can Type All The Rap Lyrics You Want

Imus just got fired from radio too.

Friday, April 13, 2007 09:12 AM

Just A Brief Mention

On penis size. The girls in high school and college called me Secretariat.

Friday, April 13, 2007 09:24 AM

Actually

In the Americano winner-takes-all mentality, not much, if any, extended press or notoriety goes to the runner up. That accomplishment, which is signifigant, usually is not trumpeted throughout the land. Imus's rant probably makes the Rutgers women of 2006-2007 one of the more recognizable and applauded second placers in all of sports.

Friday, April 13, 2007 09:27 AM

The Rutgers Gals...

..got more ink than the Volunteers.

Friday, April 13, 2007 09:33 AM

I Wonder

If Rutgers had won the title game by 30 if they, as champions, would have elevated above Imus. That's just whitey trying to drag down our moment and our greatness.

The White Gals On Rutgers

Should have not attended all the press conferences etc--"He wasn't talking about us"

Friday, April 13, 2007 10:57 AM

Reply

I can't take anyone named rupert seriously, black or white.

Friday, April 13, 2007 11:09 AM

Sweet Scarlet Knights

I guess all this means the art sculpture I'm working on isn't going to go over very well. It's the Rutgers players made of chocolate hanging on a cross.

ESPN Dropped The Ball

They should have had a phone or video hook up with Bonds, to chat with Aaron.
