Slanted News? ESPN Writer Fired Over Anti-Asian Headline

JEREMY LIN'S emergence as a basketball phenomenon has also exposed a surprising amount of racism.

After Lin and the Knicks lost to New Orleans an ESPN writer used the headline "Chink in the Armor." He has been fired.

I guess it's possible that this writer wrote the "Chink" headline without realizing that it could be read as an anti-Asian slur. Possible, but hard to believe.

Reality Show Looking For El Paso ‘Fresas’ – Whatever That Is [POLL]

Are you a "Fresa?" A native El Pasoan is looking to shoot a reality show about El Paso and Juarez called "Fresas" and if you don't know what they are, you're right there with the most of the KLAQ Morning Show.

Urban Dictionary says it's a Mexican term, and that "Fresas are usually stuck up, have expensive clothes, cars, are usually middle high or high class, and talk different than everyone else. Like in every other country there are pseudo-fresas, those who pretend to be preppy but aren't."

This Roadkill Tastes Like Steak! 12 Cows Die In El Paso Truck Crash [VIDEO]

As far as roadkill goes, it doesn't get much tastier than some nice juicy steak. A dozen cows were killed when a truck carrying cattle overturned Tuesday morning on Trans Mountain Road. Now before you get mad about our insensitivity to dead cows, let's remember what's important - the driver of the truck was unharmed and cows are delicious.

‘Palentines Day’ Candidates Share Horror Stories With Morning Show

Forget Valentine's Day, this year, we're celebrating 'Palentine's Day,' a day when men so scorned by women can forget the romance and kick back with their bros.

The Stages of Grief (Using Whitney Houston as a Template)

I can't tell you with certainty who informed me that Whitney Houston had died. As is becoming the case more and more often, I was hit with a tidal wave of sad tidings. In a matter of minutes, it seems, everyone on Twitter, Facebook, my bartender, my co-workers, and my dealer...all we
