Don Imus fired from both sattellite and radio show.

Don Imus, a radio host on his morning show, has used words that can be considered both sexist and racist: “There’s some nappy headed hoes, right there.”

Those words went towards the Rutgers Women basketball team who just won a championship not too long ago against Tennesse. Now, people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are asking for his immediate dissmisal of his show off of MSNBC.

This can go either way, true that “freedom of speech” argument can be said about this situation, but that can only go so far. Also, there have been recent debates that if a black host made fun of white people in a racial manner, nothing would have happen to him: The Double Standard Theory. Lastly, there have been reasons that if Don Imus rioters are demanding for him to get fired, why don’t people like Rappers get the same treatment?

Should Don Imus get fired? IMO, no. Should he get punish? Yeah.

The only way this could be true is if Al Sharpton goes after rapppers who use the concept of misogynistic terms towards women. In fact, this is the type of situation where either everyone is wrong or everybody is right.

Also, where’s the apology from Jesse Jackson when he reffered to Jews as “hymies”?

Iran captures 15 British sailors.

TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) — Iran says the 15 British sailors and marines seized by Iran in the Persian Gulf have confessed to trespassing into Iranian territory, the semi-official FARS News Agency reported Saturday.

After reading multiple articles of this situation, about how british soliders were making a routine inspection on a merchant vessel, something is wrong here about them being in Iranian waters. If the british marines were some how to be in Iranian waters, wouldn’t they be release by now due to accidental purposes? I’m pretty sure the marines weren’t trying to “sneak” up on Iran, but if they were in the waters of Iran, that is however illegal to do.

I hope this don’t escalate to something that can be ended non-violently, because no one wants to start a war.

FBI’s illegal practices on Americans’ privacy.

Today, the FBI has been caught illegally obtaining private information of U.S. citizens under the Patriot Act.

“The audit found that in 2004 and 2005, more than half of the targets of the national security letters were U.S. citizens.” -CNN.com

National Secruity Letters allows the FBI to get personal and business information about individuals — such as financial, phone, and Internet records — without court orders (without warrants rom a judge).

In doing so, has caused so many problems, that they are planning to re-advise the Act or to limit the FBI’s power. Though, I’m wondering why these same people who broken the law aren’t even going to jail. Where are the arrest @?

To be honest, I was waiting till something like this was going to happen. When you make an Act that doesn’t require a warrant to check people’s information if they are, according to the Act, in a “terroristic” situation, you might have a few flaws in it that’s been given so much power to the FBI.

Still, how can you accidentally make illegaly violations on the American citizens by asking for personal information that the FBI didn’t even need in the first place?
