5137: Taking Shots At The News.


Pumping up the news in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• Rev. Al Sharpton commented on the ongoing steroids controversies involving Major League Baseball. “Some of the members of Congress treated Roger Clemens … like they were at a fan-club meeting,” said Sharpton. “When I see the contrast at how you treat a Clemens and how you treat a Bonds, that’s a civil-rights issue.” Seems like Sharpton is injecting himself into the mess.

• If there were steroids designed to boost sales figures, Circuit City would probably desperately seek such antidotes. The company announced a few of its latest turnaround tactics, which include opening smaller format stores dubbed “The City,” staffed with employees from Generation Y. Also, staffers recite mottos like, “Keep it real.” Meanwhile, potential customers are keeping it real by keeping their distance.

    Hee hee! I bet they are. What a ridiculous notion.

    Reverend Sharpton makes sense here.
    If no one else made the Bonds-Clemens point, good to see he did.
