Ted Galatis + Never Used The N Word Before That?

I wasn't there when Florida City Commissioner (of Wilton Manors) Ted Galatis had it out with another car - and you can read and watch the video here - but it does beg a question/comment:

Why is it that people, when they get caught saying racist slurs, always come back with something like Ted said which was, "I apologize for my use of the ’N’ word. It is something I never say" because just from a structure and data standpoint, if you never say it, then you wouldn't have said it, but since you did you can't actually use the word "never" in your apology, so you should really just say something like "I apologize for my use of the 'N' word, because I rarely say it, unless I feel threatened (or maybe just don't like someone, or think that I'm above them) and then it just comes out."

Sure, that might not go over as well from a PR standpoint, but at least it's honest.

P.S.

The man definitely needs a new fishing pic - you can totally tell he's sucking it in for the camera...

Travolta In A Bollywood Film? How Is That Good For Anyone?

There's not much to say on this.

Except, why would you want to ruin a perfectly good Bollywood flick with...John Travolta?

Sure he's had his moments but...

Wait...one song?

What the MF...

Oh yeah...he made this...

Amy Chua: You've Been Min Zhou'd And Jennifer Lee'd

I still have yet to actually read anything of substance (see book) but it is nice to hear---here and there of course, about the uprisings, this time courtesy of Min Zhou, professor of sociology and Asian American Studies at the Univ. of California at Los Angeles, and Jennifer Lee, professor of sociology at the Univ. of California at Irvine.

From the WP:

[...] a new study published in the journal “Race and Social Problems” by two California scholars takes on Chua, suggesting that with all the economic resources at her disposal — she and her husband are Yale professors with highly-educated parents — her children’s success is just as likely the result of socioeconomic and cultural advantages, generally cited by scholars as the main reason some children do better than others [...] A better way to understand Asian American academic success, they write, is to look at families who don’t have resources and succeed nonetheless.
