As the blizzard of 2010 dumped 20 inches on New York City, paralyzing public transportation, flooding the subways, and leaving EMT workers stranded in the snow, those first responded to were the wealthiest. No surprise here.

On Facebook, posters have posted pictures of areas in Bed-Stuy, Bushwick, and other neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens, all untouched by snow plows. As of today, four days after the blizzard first hit, cars remain buried under drifts, the streets are empty of footprints, and trash trucks, ambulances, or any city services have apparently blown away in the wind.

The upper East Side is clean as a whistle as snow plows and crews ready 42nd St for New Year's festivities. It brings to mind people in the Ninth Ward waving white flags as their families drowned in attics as rescue and city workers rushed towards the French Quarter -- mostly to save the structures.

It seems the bounty keeps growing higher for racial and cultural insensitivity.

For Don Imus, a clause in his contract saying he was hired by CBS for "irreverent" and "controversial" programming won him a lawsuit against his former employer and a new gig at FOX, a multi-year deal, where he earns more than ever, on the backs of teenage girls -- stand-out basketball players and scholars -- who were reduced to nappy-headed prostitutes.

Juan Williams' fear of turbans and hijabs lost him respect with intellectuals at NPR, but won him top dollars over at FOX News.

And now, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, who spilled more N-words in five minutes than sympathy fans at a Bristol Palin dance-off, has scored a contract with Sirius XM to conduct a daily 3-hour radio show. The terms of her contract have not been disclosed, but you can bet your bottom dollar she's not losing sleep over her black friends she lost after her rant.
