Dr. Laura (Schlessinger) is the poster child for angry sanctimonious shrews everywhere. We get that. But here's hoping that her racist rant against a caller to her show yesterday heralds the end of this woman's zealous drivel. Seems she took a page from the Michael Richards School of Broadcasting.

Hear the audio and decide for yourself - click here.

After a range of bizarre comments sprinkled with liberal use of the word 'nigger', she went as far as suggesting that if you (gasp) mix races, you're fair game for racists like her - get a sense of humor.

Dr Looney issued an 'apology' today.

"Yesterday, I did the wrong thing," she said. "I didn't intend to hurt people, but I did. And that makes it the wrong thing to have done. I was attempting to make a philosophical point, and I articulated the "n" word all the way out - more than one time. And that was wrong. I'll say it again - that was wrong."

She said she "was so upset [she] could not finish the show."

Dr. Zealot with her (no kidding) PR person. Ahh to be a fly on the wall at their next meeting...

"I pulled myself off the air at the end of the hour," she said. "I had to finish the hour, because 20 minutes of dead air doesn't work. I am very sorry. And it just won't happen again."

Here's hoping it because skittish sponsors force her off the air permanently.

Fellow homosapiens, I submit to you the following challenge. Reply with your Cuba Gooding Jr. movie(s) that did not make you think that some director somewhere must have lost a bet.  Now don't get me wrong, I GET Cuba, I really do. He seems to be a hard worker and is likely a pretty nice guy. But god help me if Snow Dogs isn't the most memorable movie he's done in recent memory. And that was a real...well...dog!

I won't even take away the obvious good ones and let my fellow monkeys post their favorites. Why you ask would after such a long hiatus from my beloved blog would I choose THIS as my first post? Two reasons really;

1. American Gangster. Just watched it again and with the cast and performances in that movie, Cuba couldn't This movie set Cuba's career - and that of Sled Dogs everywhere -    back decades!help but have some of that positivity rub off on him. This dear reader is my contribution to the list of "Movies that Cuba Godding Jr. Did Not Suck In". That movie really kicked ass.

2. Guilt. Let me be honest. I loved him once.  But like Jean Claude van Damme and Steven Segal, I gave him chance after chance in the video store. Dude owes me several hours of my life back! This appeal will hopefully compile a list of fond memories of the Cuba that used to be.

Anyway, jump in. I'm sure Cuba would appreciate it too.  :-D

This movie set Cuba's career - and that of Sled Dogs everywhere - back decades!
