Default Off .. way off .. topic ... but watching Don Imus ..

@trndny06:

Just wanted to share my distaste for Imus with some folks who

understand
what it is like to struggle, try to keep up
with a little sailboat, do all kinds of work on their boat, and don't

go
around calling folks with less money losers.



You need to read Imus' bio.....
http://www.biography.com/search/article.do?id=9542196

He lived in a laundromat in 1960. He's been a brakeman on the Southern
Pacific Railway, homeless, and got started as a DJ in Palmdale, CA in
1968.

He's already been fired from NBC a couple of times....and regularly
ridicules company brass signing his fat paycheck.

He came from a small ranch, a broken home, his parents divorced when he
was 15. He left high school and joined the Marines, never graduating.

Yeah, Imus is a real kid born with a platinum spoon in his ass. I've
never lived in a laundromat, homeless. I never made what he makes, now,
either.

Imus is a self-made man....made by his audience buying products. I can
understand why he's not too fond of the limo crowd. Noone has earned
less money then Don Imus at certain periods of his life....or been
drunker...or higher, probably...(c;
