For the Reading Disabled

We posted this in the comment section, but we're putting it out here in case anyone missed it:

• Mope-rah is NOT Oprah Winfrey. Some softballs seem to think that Oprah has a column and wrote the drivel we picked apart the other day. She doesn't and she didn't.
• Mope-rah is the Slum Times resident race-baiter and hack writer Mary Mitchell. M = Mary. M = Mope-rah. Get it now?
  

Just for future reference, Dope-rah is the Tribune's guest race-baiting hack, Dawn Trice Turner. D = Dawn. D = Dope-rah. It's really quite simple.

And furthermore, in the interest of clearing the air, calling Mope-rah an "ignorant slut" is a throwback to the good old days of Saturday Night Live (when SNL was actually humorous and cutting edge) where Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtain would go at each other over some triviality during Weekend Update. The comeback Jane would always use was "Dan, you pompous ass."

So all those expressing faux outrage over our writing need to (A) grow a sense of humor and (B) get over it. Sorry your television nowadays is so meaningless. Geez. We even apologized to Aykroyd in the opening line so people would understand where it was coming from.

UPDATE: And the people bitching about the comment about "The Jew is using the Black as muscle against you" obviously never saw The Blues Brothers. Do we really have to rehash the scene for you? Suffice it to say that the people leaping off the bridge? Those are the Illinois nazis - and they look like assholes the whole movie. Bumbling comedic foils. Aykroyd and Belushi made them out to be complete morons. That's how we interpreted the comment, but alas, not all of our readers have the sophisticated comedic wit that we and others possess.

Political correctness claims another generation.
