My guess is that James Scott of the Charleston Post and Courier is being mercilessly taunted at work today. In his story on the Masters protests, he writes:
“Throughout the morning, law enforcement officers stood on the perimeter of the five-acre field. At no point did the protest turn violent, though officers escorted Heywood Jablome away after he held up a sign directly in front of Burk that read “Make me dinner” before shouting ‘Oprah rules.’”
I dated Haywood!
Frankly, I think this piece grossly underrepresents Burk's distaff supporters. Surely the efforts of local activists Ivana Tinkle and Anita Wiener cannot be overlooked.
Let's not forget Apul Madeekawt and Awana Fuqya.
Is that supposed to be "Apul Madeekawat"?
Just wondering.
Otherwise, I must be slow.
