Don Imus is ready to collect. He wants the amount stipulated in his contract and I think that he just might be able to get it. If the contract, in fact, states that he must be given a warning first before being fired and he was fired without that warning it may be possible for him to win the case. Lucky Him! That was the easiest $50 million I think anyone has ever made. He only worked at the radio show for 3 months. Boy would I have liked to have that job. 3 months of work for $50 million dollars... Oh how I wish I was in his shoes right now.
It's kind of strange though that he was fired for saying "nappy-headed hos". Wasn't that his job to make crude remarks, whether they were degrading, racist, or sexist? Which means that he was fired for doing exactly what he was meant to do. I'm pretty sure that he'll get his money. If he doesn't then I will be very amazed. I mean, what are contracts meant for if you can break them and make up your own rules. They were meant to protect both parties in exactly this sort of predicament. If you break a contract you must pay the consequences. And I'm sure that's what's going to happen. I hope Imus gets every last cent of that $40 million he's suing for.

Rosie O'Donnell Should Be Banned From All Media
I'm so tired of this woman. She's loud, obnoxious, rude, trashy, sloppy... shall I continue? But of course... she's like a sore that keeps being picked at so it will never go away. I used to think she was okay and funny but I began disliking her more and more as the months passed but her last stunt, grabbing her cock (yes I said it) and saying "Eat Me!" to Donald Trump at the Matrix Awards in front of 2,000 of New York's most accomplished women in the media, was just over the top. It was uncalled for and disrespectful to not only all of the women there who carry themselves like respectable women, but also to the 17 high school girls, and to anyone else who was watching. She's just an atrocity and who shouldn't be in the media. That means no tv or radio shows. Frankly, I don't ever want to see her again. And I never want hear any more of her ridiculous opinions again. Honestly, as an American who would like to see more role models for young women, I think she should be banned altogether. The country can do without her. If only I could get my wish.
Read the story at The New York Post.
