Is anyone else sick of hearing about Anna Nicole Smith and Don Imus? Why is the media completely unwilling to talk about anything substantial. When Anna Nicole was alive no one spent much time thinking about her. You saw her in the press occassionally making a fool of herself and it was sad and uncomfortable to watch and that was that. But I put CNN on and now all I hear about is Anna Nicole and her kid. I am sad for her daughter and all but there are so many more important issues that should be brought to the forefront and instead we have to watch clips of Anna Nicole all valiumed up making an ass of herself everytime we turn on the television.

That said you would think that I would be pleased with the more socially relevent news of Don Imus being a complete idiot. The problem there is that it's like, "okay we get it. The guy's a douche bag. Can we move on?" People who say the guy needs to be fired are thinking of this entirely from an emotional standpoint. It's called freedom of speech. If we shut him down, who's next? So he said he was sorry, the Rutgers ladies made their speech. Get over it now. Sheesh!
