5200: Dance, Dance, Dance.

Dance fever in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• Wyoming Congressman Steve King declared, “I don’t want to disparage anyone because of their race, their ethnicity, their name -- whatever their religion their father might have been. … I’ll just say this: When you think about the option of a Barack Obama potentially getting elected president of the United States -- I mean, what does this look like to the rest of the world? What does it look like to the world of Islam? … I will tell you that, if he is elected president, then the radical Islamists, the al-Qaeda, the radical Islamists and their supporters, will be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on September 11 because they will declare victory in this War on Terror. … His middle name (Hussein) does matter. It matters because they read a meaning into that in the rest of the world. That has a special meaning to them. They will be dancing in the streets because of his middle name. They will be dancing in the streets because of who his father was and because of his posture that says: Pull out of the Middle East and pull out of this conflict.” Should be interesting to see how King ultimately dances around these statements.

• O.J. Simpson is doing a slow dance, as his trial has been delayed six months. The additional time will allow prosecutors to analyze and enhance evidence including tape recordings, plus share the results with defense attorneys. Looks like Simpson is following R. Kelly’s dance moves.

• An ex-slaughterhouse worker jailed for his involvement with the largest beef recall in the nation’s history said he was only acting per his boss’ instructions. In an interview, the ex-worker explained the motivations behind cruel acts like using a forklift to move sick cows along the slaughterhouse production lines. “That’s how I was taught. He taught me to do the work. I didn’t know it was a serious crime,” said the ex-worker. “I think it’s unjust that I’m here [in jail]. Where are the people in charge?” Um, they’re probably choreographing excuses with lawyers.
