I took a break from the three-day siege of talk radio and talk TV inanity/insanity regarding Joba Chamberlain pumping his fist after a strikeout and turned to Imus for the first time in weeks.
What I discovered was this:
On the first anniversary of calling Rutgers women's basketball players "nappy-headed hos'' and turning the local sports radio business upside down, Imus spent much of his show celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on the 40th anniversary of Dr. King's assassination.
That included a long, cordial talk with Rev. Jesse Jackson.
I'd write "what a difference a year makes." But that would be a cliche, and those are to be avoided.

Imus is a great antidote to the racist and misogynist WFAN programming in the morning.
