two eddie murphy post back to back. does that constitute a trend?

just flipped on the tv and trading places was on comedy central so i figured id check in on it for a few minutes. in the first scene i watched they removed the word "nigger" from the text. you could still see he said it but they scrubbed the word out of the audio track. kind of defeats the purpose of expressing how odious the characters are if you lose that context. here is the quote. score one for political correctness?

Mortimer Duke: Do you really believe I would have a *nigger* run our family business, Randolph?

colbert tapped for late night replacement. seems like a wise move for all concerned and not just because i guessed at it years ago. i have no doubt he can handle the entertainment side of the job, i just hope he can bring some of the smarts with him. be a shame if he is completely deracinated from what made him great, not that he sees race. i wonder if jon oliver is rueing that hbo gig at the moment as that 1130 slot just opened after the daily show. probably not.

just got my dish reinstalled after six months without and i cant tell if i just got ripped off or got a good deal from the repairdude. i guess thats the sign of a good con. it was only 20 bucks so its no big deal and if he wasnt lying he saved me 50 but i wouldnt be surprised if i still got billed for the damaged part they replaced (because it was mishandled unnecessarily by the contractors who worked on building),  that is if it was even replaced at all. im afraid to go look although im not sure i would even recognize if it was replaced. oh well, at least i can watch the game of thrones premiere tomorrow without issue.
