I might need my memory refreshed on this sitation, but wasn't the bias against the Duke lacrosse team specifically aimed at rich, spoiled white kids?

Sure. Disgraced, disbarred and imprisoned DA Mike Nifong wanted to be elected to a full term in his own right and was willing to put those boys in prison for 20 years each, in one of the most cynical abuses of our legal system in decades. He needed black votes and his plan was to curry those voters by appearing to be standing up for a "sister" who'd been victimized by white, rich, jocks at the hated, racist Duke. Thus my response to Foxton: it IS politically correct to judge white guys by their color, no so much other people. Millions of Americans jumped to all of the wrong conclusions in this case, based on their prejudices against rich, white jocks.

The point of the article I posted was that among the so-called group of 88 professors (who came about as close to lynching those boys as possible without actually going to Walmart for the rope) the worst offenders have not suffered personally or professionally because of their misbehavior, far from it. They have been promoted and advanced at Duke or they've gone on to bigger and better things elsewhere. And that can only be as a result of political correctness. Stretch your imagination and try to imagine three black athletes similarly wrongfully accused. And try to imagine the professional futures of white professors who weren't concerned about protecting the athletes' presumption of innocence, who called them animals, who insulted their mothers in the most disgusting way and who showed no interest whatsoever in the facts of the case. And once determined to have been 100% wrong, refused to issue even the most cursory apology. Ya think they'd be looking at promotions and advancement?

Ok, that WAS harsh...


But now that I think about it... the director says that there are cameras and security patrols.... this is a 2 person job and they pulled it off... Uh... This director is going to find the sign and then find a new job.

Don't fry a turkey in a van....

http://www.wtsp.com/news/topstories/story.aspx?storyid=120396

TAMPA, Florida -- A 26-year veteran of Tampa Fire Rescue was injured after a radio station stunt intended to illustrate the dangers of turkey frying went awry.

A van caught fire Friday in the parking lot of WFLZ radio during the MJ Morning Show when a host tried to fry a turkey inside the vehicle.

The stunt involved lowering a turkey by crane into a fryer inside the van. Online video showed the fryer had already set the van on fire before the turkey was lowered.

Firefighters knocked the flames down quickly, but an agency spokesman says one suffered a back injury after slipping and falling.

WFLZ says earlier reports that a station staff member was also injured were incorrect.

The radio station didn't have permits or emergency crews standing by according to Capt. Bill Wade of Tampa Fire Rescue. He says as a result, the station could face criminal charges or a fine. Wade calls the incident "reckless and dangerous."

WFLZ declined comment Friday, but program director Tommy Chuck issued the following statement: "Our intent was to show how dangerous it was to cook a turkey in a situation like this. We were prepared to extinguish a modest fire. Once the fire got out of control, we quickly called the fire department."

A decision on whether charges will be filed or a fine issued is expected next week.

This started over ice cream?

Have you had to get rotten milk stench out of a car's carpeting?

Ok, seriously, there are several issues here:

1. Obviously, the frivolity of the case. Stupid to fight over ice cream spill.

2. Kids witnessed it. This draws the question, "What other moronic practices do these women force upon (and therefore teach) their children?"

3. This woman (Evans) has reproduced. That, in itself, is a tragedy.

Yeah, Bobby "the brain" Heenan once commented on a wrestling crowd: "The trouble with these people is they can breed and they can vote."

The image of the "lady" trying to drown the other "lady" in a roadside ditch sounds like the plot line for a 3 Stooges short.

Next time Evans threatens to jump from a moving vehicle, I'd recommend speeding up.

Explain that drowning bit to those kids.

And, while speeding up, don't forget to make sure her seatbelt ISN'T fastened.

Yeah. And in Texas they take a real flexible view of these things. But maybe they'll draw the line here. :)
