Because the holidays had me so busy, I totally missed some very insightful Twitter comments my Right of Black talk radio co-host Shanon D Murray made on December 29 in reply to this drivel.

Ben Roethlisberger was accused of 2 sexual assaults in 9 months but w/ minimal outrage. I guess dogs are more valuable than women too.
