A MarketPlace of Ideas

Exerpted Arty:Here 

Rather, it was conservative mouthpiece Ann Coulter getting all the stares, given the fact that she was on the unlikely arm of comedian Jimmie Walker, who played J.J. Evans on the 1970s TV sitcom “Good Times.” Suddenly, veteran actor John Amos strolled past the couple. “Oh, my God, there’s your father,” Miss Coulter shrieked,referring to Mr. Amos having played James Evans Sr. on the show. LeVar Burton, star of the groundbreaking TV miniseries “Roots,” noticed Miss Coulter with Mr. Walker, and gave the comedian a bit of lip for escorting the right-wing pundit, one observer tells Inside the Beltway.

…….I guess Levar Burton is an idea bigot. 

This is quite a pair and I like them alot.  I disagree that Jimmy is an unlikely date.  They may be opposite ends of the pigmentation spectrum but Jimmy is a libertarian conservative from way back.  He’s a well spoken and his writings are good libertarian tomes.  Likewise I love Ann Coulters acid wit!

Tough luck Levar, you’re a girly boy without a brain.  Anyone who couldn’t see the fun in that couple just isn’t any fun!

According to Kinky Friedman on Don Imus AKA the mummified remains of Tutankamen:

Far from being a bully, he was a spiritual chop-buster never afraid to go after the big guys with nothing but the slingshot of ragged integrity. I watched him over the years as he struggled with his demons and conquered them. This was not surprising to me.

Hard to swallow.  Here all of a sudden if you have any negativity you are a “spiritual chop buster” and all other things good. I have a problem with this.  Everything they do is good, gold plated, meant in good cheer.  If you are republican or conservative they hang you from the nearest tree.

Imus didn’t say anything worth losing his job over.  Nappy Headed Ho was more of a very impolite thing to say than it was a racial epithet.   You simply can’t let one person say something and restrict another from saying it.  That’s wrong wrong wrong and will never stand.  However the same principle applies to whether conservative versus liberal say something or black or white says something. 

Selective application of the rules is always always always hallmark of priviledge and authoritarian rule.

Kinky is just upset that Don the Cadaver isn’t being treated like the royalty that he is, Tutankamen.  How does it feel to be specially selected for political inquisition? 

Just so you know Kinky, the people in show business are indeed pinheads.  To an engineer with serious critical thinking skills we see you as low mental horsepower people who get by on pleasantry.  You’re partly to blame for the double standards and the descent into rampant neurotic behavior of the USA.   How’s that?  Am I a “spiritual chop buster” ?

Your type makes me live everyday with the endless chorus of anything from ”we’re destroying the planet”  to “are we killing the bees?”  You’re not going to get any sympathy here as my attitude is “let them eat fudge”.
