By now you've no doubt heard about Don Imus, who makes a living being a public jackass, referring to the Rutgers Women's Basketball team as a collection of "nappy-headed ho's." If you haven't, check it out. Imus's idiocy is getting enough attention, so I'm not going to rehash it at length. All I want to know is two things:

1. Has Imus looked at himself in a mirror lately? I'm not sure a guy who looks like that should get on anyone's case about their hair.

2. C. Vivian Stringer and her team, one of the greatest groups of college athletes of the last few decades, have agreed to meet with Imus. Why not on the court? Let him and his equally jackass producer McGuirk put together a team of racist, mysoginistic, over-the-hill never-wuzzes; Rutgers could spot them a hundred points, and still beat their sorry asses handily. That's a game I'd pay to see. And it may be the only context in which I ever want to see or hear about Don Imus again.

sjrozan I'm a writer, at work on my 11th book. This blog is a record of random and less-random thoughts. If you want to know more about me, check my website, linked here. I also had a blog going from spring through late fall 2004 about the publishing process for my 9th book, ABSENT FRIENDS. That blog's called "Progress" and you can find the link here. I won't make any more entries but I'm leaving it up in case anyone's interested; the process is more or less the same from book to book.
