Seize the daily news with a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• O.J. Simpson must hand over his Rolex watch and other goodies to the family of murder victim Ron Goldman in order to satisfy the infamous civil lawsuit verdict. In addition, if the items seized by Simpson and his cohorts in Las Vegas turn out to legally belong to Simpson, they will also be handed over to the Goldmans. No word yet if the Goldmans plan to storm in packing pistols to seize the items.
• A Tennessee teacher sparked controversy by giving her fifth-grade students a crossword puzzle featuring the N-word. The clue read, “17 across: An insulting way to label a black person.” The teacher found the puzzle online, and believed it would be a good way “to teach about how it was [in historical times].” And she wound up teaching about how it is in present times too.
• Ford reported its 11th straight monthly drop, experiencing a 20 percent slide in sales. 17 across: A four-letter word for shitty automaker.
