Worried?

It was announced today that Don Imus was released from his contract with MSNBC and CBS radio.  It seems to be one of the biggest stories on the news today.  Do I think what he said about the Rutgers team was wrong?  Sure.  Do I think people are overreacting a little?  Could be.  Do I think that you care what I think?  Beats me.  I wouldn't if I were you.

There are much more pressing matters before us.  There is a war in Iraq.  There are trroubles in Afghanistan and Korea.  I am more concerned about these things than I am about what happens to Don Imus.  He's a big boy.  He intentionally pushes things to the limit.  I think that all the radio and TV personalities who spout their opinions regarding whatever world or local event bothers them today are similar.  They have followings.  Some are very (maybe violently) dedicated to these celebrities.  The personalities know this.  The TV stations know this.  The radio stations know this.  Why are they all acting shocked now?
