Raven, Your Snoop quote is pretty good I thought actually. He makes a valid point. It is another question whether prostitutes deserve respect as well, and we can take issue with him there, but the claim that his use of the derogatory terms and Imus’s are the same is specious and he says this well. NPR yesterday had a pretty decent discussion of this yesterday. I think it was Tom A’s on-point. I normally can’t stand him, he tends to whitewash little things like torture, etc. But the point a key point they made is that the claim that “it’s just comedy” is also specious. Derisive humor that is directed at ones self is totally different from derisive humor directed at someone else. One is comedy, the other is bullying. That said, I wish this whole conversation was more about why the MSM legitimizes hate and lies and less about this particular hateful liar. And I don’t think the answer is just that they are lazy or that there is an audience for it.

Sorry, Snoop is a punk, a thug, promotes not only drug abuse but misogyny in his community and should be thrown back in the joint.

ChuckD,

Josh is wondering too. In his snarkiest way. Balrog, you’re the geek, can the info be found? If congress has Monica’s computer, can they determine what, if anything, has been deleted?

I would agree with other comments here that yes, much if not most of the data thought to have been deleted can be retrieved.

Additionally, typical emails travel many paths to get where they are going. Just because KKKarl ordered a mass delete doesn’t mean stuff isn’t still sitting out there somewhere.

I also agree that any usage of ‘electronic shredders’ leave a distinctive data pattern that will alert to such chicanery.

‘Morning FirePups!

Just heard/saw that Amy Winehouse song…

Maybe I’m just sour today (okOK!) but I thought:

* Too much makeup
* Obvious lip-synching; get it right to the Millisecond, woman! (and no, I don’t think YouTube is off)
* Too much cleavage to be credible (!and this from a fella who usually likes it!) :)
* In that vein, the conjunction of “My odds are stacked” with a chest shot was just too too.
* After Cindy Crawford, “beauty marks” are so old
* Details wrong, like burial of an object way less than 6′ under…
* Ella Fitzgerald she ain’t, though she tries to be.

Good thing this thread will be killed soon, so that these comments will be buried as well. Sorry TRex. No EPUing, I promise :)

PS — Hope your area survived the storms.

It was a false alarm here in Northeast Georgia but it did look ominous.

I do hope we can talk about that a bit. Marty Kaplan’s take on the Imus stuff at HuffPo did resonate with me.

Okay, I’m STFUing now… time to refill the coffee mugs. Oh, except, hey, BBC America reports news at this hour. Yay!

Trex,
From one of your postings, I understand you live in Athens, Ga. (Me,too.) Which radio station?

He’s on the late night on WUGA. I live here too.
