What About The Audience?

I’m sure I’ve got to be missing something here, something that may be important.  So if someone can tell me where I’m wrong, please feel free to point it out to me.

This whole Don Imus thing–in case you haven’t heard, it seems he thought it would be funny to refer to members of the Rutgers University women’s basketball team as “nappy-headed hos.”

The comment was not made in response to remarks made toward Imus by members of the team, nor does the reference appear to part of a friendly, inside joke between Imus and the young ladies.  He just went and referred to them as “nappy-headed hos.”

I am, as I write this, shaking my head in disbelief, literally.

Sometimes The Other Wheels Get Grease Too

Everyone is competing for attention these days.  Whether the venue is politics, Hollywood, the workplace, or at home, typically it is he who is loudest who gets the attention.

I’ve recently discovered however, that there is something to be said about the power of silence and its ability to attract attention.  Quite honestly, it’s pretty awesome, and you have to be pretty stupid to screw it up.
