Is there actual vid to the Richards vid? I just get a title card with the understatement of the year, "The following piece by Brooke Anderson contains language that some may find disturbing."

I get an ad, and then the CNN piece. They've bleeped/starred motherfucker but not nigger, which almost surprised me.

Fox network had *no* involvement with the book deal!

And they didn't pay him for the interview. If the entirely unrelated co-owned publisher did, then how could the network have anything to do with it?

Also, Borders, if you're that clear on what you're selling, and it sounds like you are, then why go all the way and *not sell it*?

Really! Do they donate the profits from sales of Mein Kampf or Dianetics?

I've never been terribly fond of Richards to begin with. That just makes him a useless fuckwad.

As to Paul Rodriguez' comment about how "freedom of speech has its limits, and [Richards] found those limits." I don't think freedom of speech should necessarily be limited in that way. I want people like Richards and Gibson to be free to speak their minds on these subjects, so that we can all be made aware that they are racist jackholes and that we can now ignore pretty much anything they have to say.

I get the audio (which is more than enough), but the text I quoted above is all I can see. That was horrific. Wait...the Laugh Factory had him back the next night? Hello.

Please to help on the train/car square. That is all I have.

OK I need to quit this game. I just got a box that opened up a whole lot of other boxes and instead of, "whoopee!" I thought, "Oh crap!"

Ooh, bon, I was just going to ask about that exact box.

On a less depressing note (though really, if you look at the work on my desk right now not by much), the classic Gettysburg Powerpoint Presentation
