It's Friday, ya bastids!As we continue to struggle with the unemployment problem, we seem to keep coming across people who shouldn’t have the jobs they do have. Case in point—Brian Kilmeade, one of the hosts of conservo-morning show “Fox and Friends.” Kilmeade recently said that maybe having their unemployment benefits expire “will get people to sober up.” Does Brian Kilmeade think unemployed people are lazy? How much ambition does it take to have a job like Brian Kilmeade’s? All he has to do is trash unemployed people. OK, he does have to get up early to do it. Maybe he’s bitter over that. “If I’m setting my alarm for 4:30 a.m., I don’t want anybody who’s out of a job to get anything.” Sean Hannity claims he can’t find any racist signs at the tea party rallies. Maybe Sean doesn’t count the “n-word” as racist if it’s misspelled. Heck, if you don’t count misspellings or grammatical errors, there are no signs at the tea parties at all, except for a few backward swastikas. If Hannity can’t find any racist Tea Party signs, he must be looking at the wrong tea parties. Sean, if the tea parties you’re looking at for the signs include teddy bears, stuffed animals, and little girls, you’re looking at the wrong tea parties. There aren’t going to be racist signs at a little girl’s stuffed animal tea party… unless Ann Coulter has daughters that we don’t know about. Finally, another day, another audiotape of Mel Gibson ranting. This is getting a tad repetitive. How many times can you listen to somebody yell the “c-word”? Well, I guess you’d have to ask Oksana. Oksana was reportedly asking for $10 million to keep the tapes secret. After listening to them, I have to say that would have been a bargain. Heck, I think I’d be willing to part with $10 million dollars just to have avoided ever having heard those tapes.The weird thing is how much Mel is hyperventilating while he’s yelling. Don’t actors get training in breath work any more? The content of his rants means he probably can’t work in Hollywood any more. And the delivery of his rants means he’ll never get a job on Broadway. Mel, you have to learn to project without over-breathing. Let the “c-word” come from your diaphragm! Today's HomeworkFriday, July 16, 2010
