You know I am not so terribly up on the latest pop-culture crap (well, unless it has to do with these here Internet Tubes), but you'd have to be living under a rock with no wi-fi not to hear about Kanye West's disgraceful behavior the other night. Yes, Mr. President, "jackass" pretty much sums it up.
Check out all the amazingly funny and creative submissions to "I'mma Let You Finish," and then please tell Kanye to get off my blog!
(True story: Steph wrote a letter from camp this summer asking me to send her some "Kanye glasses." This required me to be the nerdy mom at Newbury Comics asking the multi-pierced and tattooed clerk what the heck this meant. Yes, I bought them for her. Heaven forbid my daughter should be the only kid without her field of vision slashed into narrow horizontal strips!)
(Another true story: I could not, if my life depended on it, name a single song by Kanye West.)
If you heard some, you'd go "Oh!! That guy?" Golddigger, for instance:

My 15-year-old son keeps me updated on these kinds of things. I have to listen his music every time we're in the car (which I do happily). I think Kanye sings in the background on some song that I like, but I couldn't name it if my life depended on it.

Upon hearing about "Kanye-Gate," my first thought was "What is happening to this country? What happened to even basic manners?"
Then I started seeing buzz on the inter-tubes about just that thought. So I am not the only one.
You know what I think? Do you want to know what I think? I think it's all the fault of cell phones. It's those damn cell phones.

I would be shocked if he were a really nice guy who suddenly blurted out what he did. However, I don't think his reputation was all that great to start with. I wasn't very surprised.
