And You Actually Wondered Why Chappelle Turned Down the 50 Mill?

This comes from my love for denouements as much as from my desire to wrap up a particularly unsavory chapter in the history of popular media-related issues. Don Imus has been fired from MNBC and CBS radio has followed suit protecting its moral integrity/bank. There. Now he can go to satellite radio, where he and his bitter listeners can bigot-it out to their hearts content, lamenting the inherent unfairness in being born a member of the majority in today’s society. Life truly is a bitch. Or is it accountability? Either way…there is a bigger picture to this.

The real 'Negrodamus'?

So to all those people who still have to ask why they can’t say the things that rappers et al. "get away with" on the regular: you are the reason there is no Chappelle Show. He gracefully bowed out without the media pressure because he knew you couldn’t handle it. And seeing his material get twisted through the mainstream was probably too much for him, anyways…

Hope everyone is happy now. For shizzle. You know I won’t even go near this foolishness again…

Oh and a big statement game tonight versus the Pistons. My first attempt at purchasing playoff tickets has seemingly been thwarted by unoccupied Leaf fans. I guess it’s the price you pay when a hockey town ain’t got nuthin’ better to do…and here I was thinking I wouldn’t have to share in the suffering of a Leaf-less hockey post season.
