Of all the nerve!
Famed radio dickhead Don Imus is now suing his former employer, CBS, for 40 million dollars. Apparently they encouraged him to engage in "extraordinary, irreverent, and controversial" topics. I'm gonna be honest with you, I consider myself all three of those things, and yet I'm not a racist ass (or a prejudiced ass, depending on where you are in that debate). I know how I feel about it, but there may be some validity to the assertion that they want him to be controversial and edgy and then fire him because people are pissed off. That becomes the question: was he fired because what he said was offensive and uncalled for, or was he fired because people got pissed about what he said? I can't imagine that was the first time he'd ever insulted anyone on his show, after all. (then again maybe it was, i never listened to him)

While I have you all here, have you heard about the ten foot long sea serpent they just discovered? I just love it when scientists are baffled.
I forgot to post about LOST this week, . This weeks ep was AWESOME. We guessed a long time ago that Locke's Dad was the "real" Sawyer. But I was surprised that our Sawyer killed him so readily and with his bare hands (mostly). I always love it in movies when someone kills someone with their bare hands.
Juliet continues to be untrustworthy, as does Jack by virtue of him trusting her. And I think Ben Linus is telling the Gods honest truth about the big wishing box. But I do NOT think they are in hell. Babies can't be born in hell because, Ew. All in all, I wish they'd give us a bit more information, but I think things are moving right along. I think we're headed for a crazy ass season finale.
My book contracts came in the mail today. I kind of wish I had a lawyer to look over such things for me. I just don't feel capable in that regard. I know it's a good contract though. the publisher guy is a good one, trustworthy and all that there. Plus I get 2 author copies and a whole bunch of review copies, both paperback and pdf. So that's all good. I just have to appeal to all the bookstore workers and librarians I know to order copies. I'll be doing that when it's close to release time and I get the IBSN number and all.
