Essay 4777


Taking shots with a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• Rodney King was struck in the face and arm with shotgun pellets in San Bernadino on Wednesday, although his injuries are reportedly not life threatening. Guess we can’t all get along. No word if Vice President Dick Cheney is involved.

• An Arkansas lawmaker apologized for sending an email that stated, “we are being outpopulated by the blacks” and “we are being overrun” by undocumented immigrants. However, he insisted the message was not racist. Perhaps the official should seek counsel from Dog the Bounty Hunter.

• Fred Goldman is back in court, this time to fight a Swedish web site offering free downloads of O.J. Simpson’s “If I Did It” book. Goldman, who owns the rights to the book, demanded that the pirate site stop posting the book. But in the lawsuit, the site operators stated, “they are not subject to the laws of the United States.” They appear to be taking an O.J. Simpson defense, as the man acts like he’s not subject to the laws of the United States too.
