By the way, did you know that Imus got fired?
I turned on the news last night and found out that Imus got fired! Every single story related to Imus getting fired. There was the 6.0 earthquake when Imus got fired in Mexico City. The New Jersey Governor got seriously injured in a car wreck after Imus got fired. Did you know that the Bush administration erased emails and Imus got fired? A week after Senator McCain stressed how the surge is making Iraq safe, a bomb exploded in the green zone in Baghdad and Imus got fired. There was the preacher's wife that murdered her husband and Imus got fired. What happened to Imus's hat, not to mention those tasteless bandannas, after he got fired? That terrible rapper Snoop Dog made Imus say those nasty things and then Imus got fired! The news has been canceled (again) because Imus got fired! All the reporters are acknowledging that the message is understood to their mega-corporate bosses in the propaganda ministry that Imus got fired. If you like your cushy job in the big fluffy chair you journalist's better understand that Imus got fired!

:sarcasm: :banghead: :argh:

6. apparently the WSJ is also noting that Imus spent $2.6 million on
helping just 100 kids last year. So there may be more to the Imus story ahead.

who got him fired?

Apparently the CEO's of Proctor & Gamble, as well as Staples, Sprint and GM, are DU'ers.

Who knew?


If anyone needs a sarcasm tag....I feel for you...I just can't reach you.

11. Hey Bluebear! How ya doing?
It's sarcasm. I couldn't even hear how big the earthquake was in Mexico last night until 3:00 am because all the news was about Imus getting fired.
