Prometheus 6

is contained in this article from 2005 ;

As the show’s executive producer, McGuirk compiles the guest list, which sheds a little bit of light. If a school wanted to profile the quintessential characteristics of a therapy-deficient, latent homosexual with Catholic guilt issues, they couldn’t wish for a more glaring example. Like Hitler’s fear of the potential Jewish taint in his blood, this pseudo-macho, lowbrow, one-liner – hired, Imus once admitted, to do “nigger jokes� – will seize any opportunity to denigrate anyone who isn’t straight, white or male. And not with anything witty, mind you, but pre-adolescent lines like “Anderson Cooper takes it in the pooper.� They’re funny enough to garner girlish giggles from McCord and Imus though.

but sistagirl washington quite correctly inquires, "who baselined these terms into the mainstream American lexicon?"

Imus' career-long cumulative impact is negligible when compared and contrasted with a week or two of BET or Radio One..., but really dough, this isn't about defending Imus, or diverting attention to the gaping open sewers of derogatory "culture", rather, it's about the hyperbolic response of those caught up in calling for his head. Always chasing issues and events while neglecting projects and institutions...,

Fundamentalism is the mind-killer....,

More interesting in this context are the less tangible forms of gluttony. Conceptually these may be seen in the excessive consumption of information, the constant search for media experiences, and the ever greater dependence on "action" and "happenings". These may be framed positively in terms of natural human curiosity or the "thirst for knowledge" -- "going boldly where none have gone before". Such pursuits are commonly subject to the criticism that they are dangerous distractions from the discovery, experience and cultivation of less superficial and more fundamental insights and experiences. It is such subtlety that may be vital to sustainable lifestyles in circumstances of reduced tangible resources.

Then this is the wrong thread for you to post in.

We have become a nation of "unforgivers"? We want to see blood, we want to see more tears. Apologies are never sincere enough. We wanted Jimmy Swaggart to cry louder, longer and more sincerely. We wanted Senad O'Conner to do penance, but only after we asked her for her head on a silver platter. Countless celebrities now wander aimlessly in the land of the "unforgiven."

"Blog n roll is my life."

I'm a Black man. I've never lived in a forgiving nation.

I gave serious thought to deleting your song links. I didn't follow them and won't. 

Jimmy Swaggart? I'm not feeling you here. I don't know and have never met anyone who wanted Jimmy Swaggart to make amends for anything. 

Is this post a joke?
