I'm just "keepin it real" too, you sad, strange little man.

I guess this is a week for really bad manners.

First, Representative Douche from some Carolina - I don't really know which and it probably does not matter - yells out (and is just plain wrong and stupid) at our President.

Now Kanye.

Now those of you who know me, and I assume that anyone reading this does, know that I do not generally care about things of this nature. I don't watch MTV, I don't listen to the music of Taylor Swift OR Kanye West, I don't think shows that award "best-of"s are important when it comes to the arts. Art is subjective.

But watching the shock and embarrassment of a lovely young woman whose moment and dignity were stolen by an insecure, immature, paranoid, spotlight grubbing, classless, irrelevant hack.

I am old enough to be Taylor Swift's mom and as I watched her face - confused, shocked, crestfallen, embarrassed - I felt a combination of emotions that culminated in a little bit of anger. An emotion that I experience rarely, but when I do, it usually will result in some ranting. What if that were MY daughter up there? Holy hell.

I am old enough to remember when videos made entertainers. I remember when MTV was in its infancy, when it was in its heyday, when it jumped the shark. It represents everything good and bad about media, it shaped careers, it cock blocked talented, deserving people from achieving their goals. MTV is a mix of everything.

Money and fame don't buy you class. They don't buy you manners. They don't buy you a sense of propriety. The very thing that can make a person famous can expose their true self if they decide to publicly vomit up their own undoing.

Beyonce is kind of a mystery to me. Her music is fine. Her passion and commitment are impressive. I think she is overexposed and should sometimes turn down things she isn't right for like dance numbers with Hugh Jackman. But her beauty, dignity and compassion last night make me a admirer of her, the person.

Finally, the only real way to make a person like Kanye go away is to ignore them. So I will. Starting............ now.
