Give it a break, Imus is DONE, time to worry about
3300 dead, WAR WITHOUT END, GLOBAL WARMING, homelessness in America, children going hungry, Bush and his push for war with iran, 3300 dead, repealing Bush's tax breaks, 3300 dead, the EPA, drug costs for seniors, 3300 dead.

So many issues. So little time. This is getting ridiculous. We can debate his stupidity here till the world ends, but the rest of the Reich-wing world believes otherwise. I'm hiding all Imus threads from this point on.

Time to make the donuts and get off the one trick pony.

Oh, and lecture me all you want, I ain't replying to or reading them.

life is too short.

1. Getting rid of the RW media hate machine is a major issue.
Doing so will make it easier to deal with all the other problems. Without Limbaugh and others like him to keep the RW whipped up, perhaps we would be able to get folks to listen a bit to something beyond the Pavlovian drool issues they've been trained to by the Republic Party.

4. What you are missing is that those problems are HARD
Condemning and or supporting Don Imus is a lot easier, and gives one an instant sense of moral superiority (particularly if one condemns Don Imus). Frankly since what I'm really looking for is a way to stroke my ego, writing about and discussing Don Imus is a lot more time productive than worrying about Iran or 3300 Dead.
