And Mrs. Ex-Sharpton is an elephant who delivered late, very late.

The Post story I read a minute ago, which now seems to have disappeared, plainly said that the daughter had been arrested 10 times since 1984. It also said the arrests had been voluntary, which is kind of an important detail.

Oh, never mind. I also think we may be talking at cross-revisions.

She is also the production events director and a "working actress," according to her Twitter page. She told Amsterdam News in a 2008 interview that following in her father’s footsteps was, "not something I really planned on doing, but I know it’s something I have to do. Being his eldest daughter, it’s my responsibility." And she has followed in his footsteps — Sharpton has reportedly been willingly arrested during protests over 10 times since 1984.

They're rewriting the item now because the language in it was so skewed. So, you're right, I was wrong - twice - but you were also an asshole! Don't be jealous of our bong. We don't mean to Bogart, BRAH.

On a different note, I rememeber on Cleveland's college radio station WCSB 89.3PM, there used to be a guy named "Mitch-Man" who did a show called "Under the Influence", that had played "A Child's Garden of Grass", Frank Zappa, Cheech and Chong, along with what he called "Marajuana Montage" that consisted of har to find music and musings.
God, I miss that show. I've been ebaying and shopping around for that material since. #alsharpton

The happy comedy accident of business cards as credibility is comical. So many funny moments-
Can I see your business card? I have my business cards outside/this man I can assure you does not have any business cards, and is not legitimate.
How embarrassing for you.
Anyone else want my business card? #theyesmen

And tradition doesn't make a practice sancrosanct. Slavery was a centuries-old tradition and part of the United States' national identity and history. But I doubt you have any problem condemning slavery wherever and whenever it's practiced.

I fully expected that response. You can't compare the US to Spain or any other European nation, where their traditions are their identity. Slavery was not a tradition but a practice by a particular class which had no cultural merit. Bullfighting, much as it is presently reviled, reveals much about the Spanish character, taste, values.

Surely Spencer Tunick would object.
Do we know if Mr. Tunick is a bull fighting fan? the protesters are clearly fans of his...
Maybe if these folks focused on humans a bit more, say, protest child abuse or homelessness, maybe the world would slowly lose interest in blood sports like bull fighting, since we would all have more important things to do, like truly looking after each other.
I always root for the bull, by the way. When the bull scores and hooks one those crazy/brave clowns with a sharp horn it's awesome. especially when they get a horn right up the ass. "bulls eye!". The fact that the bull ends up in a taco is of no consequence, at least he got a sporting chance. A trip to the slaughter house affords the bull no such opportunities. Go down fighting, I always say..
