"Mem'ries, may be beautiful and yet / What's too painful to remember / We simply choose to forget"

By Michael J.W. Stickings

Don Imus -- STUPID BIGOT -- has settled with CBS and may return to the air on ABC. (So reports WaPo.)

Remember when the Imus thing was the biggest story of all time? And when there was such righteous outrage at what he said about the Rutgers women's basketball team?

Yeah, well, you know, short memories and all.

"I can't remember what happened eight minutes ago," Bart Simpson once said. "No, really, it's a serious problem."

Yes it is, Bart, yes it is.

(Laughter.)
