Huh.
David Edelstein at Slate said:
"I hope they play Chris Rock over and over on their radio shows—but no, they won't, because Chris Rock was screamingly funny."
and
About 80 percent of Rock's material was great
That's not my batting average, and there were no screams of laughter in Chez Zmayhem. Some snickering.
And if Jamie had refused, she'd have whupped his ass just like his grandma, no doubt.
amen. and i would have loved her for it.
That's another part I missed. My mother loved it, and was still delighting in it, when she told me about it. She said the cameras got a nice reaction shot from Morgan Freeman, too.
One of the women on The View was pissed that Jamie Foxx mentioned his grandma and the getting whipped (especially as something he was thankful for) because she thought it was going to encourage people to abuse their children.
White chick or black?
Serious question? Cause, you know the answer.
Heh. My family must not know they're white.
We don't like to talk about Cousin Cindy.
So that's where the babies came out.
My air fresheners are candles.
Hec, did you get my email very much earlier today?
t /forlorn
It's, like, eons until Friday, isn't it?
t /yet more forlorn
I think that my NUMBER ONE PET PEEVE about awards shows is seeing people posing for photos, walking down the red carpet, being interviewed, chomping on gum like a cow chewing it's cud.
Smokers. Also, all the interviews and talking and nervousness equals drymouth.
Hec, did you get my email very much earlier today?
No, ma'am. Nothing.
It's, like, eons until Friday, isn't it?
It's well beyond the horizon.
My family must not know they're white.
I wouldn't make any assumptions that the set of people that beat kids has no white people in it (from eye witnessing), but rather that the set of people that decries beating kids has few black people in it.
One of my krav instructors chewed gum through the entire class on Saturday. It was weird, because it made her seem so much more badassed. All "Walk and chew gum? What about KICK YOUR ASS and chew gum?"

Neither would I.

Even then. I know plenty of white people who are exactly sure that's what is wrong with these kids today--nobody's spanking them.
Hec, how about now?
Fuck, this is bad. Not quite the end of the day Monday and I'm already just a hair away from homicidal workplace road rage. I'd like a do-over on the last dozen years of career choices, please.
Heh. My family must not know they're white.
Neither does mine. But I think being part-Irish at least used to be an excuse.

I'm quite specifically not saying anything about them. Merely, and without implication in other arenas, that you're unlikely to hear black women complaining about corporally punishing kids. The two sets are unrelated.
