JUSTICE IS BLIND (?)

I haven't put up a new post in a while - mostly 'cuz I didn't have too much to say. I had my year-end best-of lists for music, movies and other opinions nobody asked for, but I didn't have anything to say. Then, the whole Gay's Anatomy faggot thing got, well, interesting.

When Mel Gibson went on a foul-mouthed rant, the whole world seemed to stop. Everyone freaked out, and Mel was forced to eat shit. Then, the untalented, and questionably employable Kramer from the not-so-funny Seinfeld went on the n-word rant. The world (again) stopped, freaked out and ordered up another pile of shit platter. So far, the same reaction, from all sides.

Yet when Isaah Washington called the less-than-attractive TR Knight (Night?) a faggot, it barely registered on the radar. Where was Oprah? Jesse Jackson? Paul Mooney, and the mayor of Los Angeles? Where were the press conferences about how words hurt, etc? Why are gays the only ones ingesting feces this time? What is up with the world right now?

It doesn't take a genius to connect these dots and figure it out...
