Can you spell, “jerk”?
The music industry’s elite were astonished to see history repeat itself yesterday at the Grammy’s when Kanye West rushed the stage to demand winner Beck forfeit his Album of the Year award in favor of Beyoncé.
“It was Deja vu all over again,” said one onlooker who had witnessed a similar scene a couple of years ago when megalomaniac Kanye tried to wrest Taylor Swift’s award from her.
In the aftermath of the show, reports have started coming in from numerous sources claiming that Kanye had done the same thing to them.
Perhaps the most damning account is that involving young Hannah Prebonowski from John F. Kennedy Junior High in Springfield, Ohio. Hannah correctly spelled the word “taupe” to snag first place honors in the 6th grade spelling bee. Her teacher, Mrs. Stumpleforth, described what happened next.
“I had just passed out the ribbons to the first, second and third place finishers, when the door to the classroom suddenly burst open and Kanye West rushed in – I couldn’t believe it!” Mrs. Stumpleforth exclaimed. “He was screaming, “No way! Beyoncé shoulda won this, you mutha *$&%@^# You know it, I know it, everybody know it. She was robbed, bitch!”
According to Mrs. Stumpleforth, the Beyoncé-obsessed star then ran to the front of the classroom, knocked the other children aside and snatched the blue ribbon out of Hannah’s hand.
The 11-year-old was too shook up to say much more than that the experience was, “kinda scary.”
Mr. West’s publicist read a prepared statement from the “artist”. “This is $#%^@*(. Just let a brother get a little success and everybody wants to bring him down. Look what happened to Bill Cosby.”
Kanye himself could not be reached for comment as he and his wife, Kim Kardashian, were at the photographer having pictures taken for their annual Christmas card.
Peg-o-Leg's Ramblings 
I just dialed Kanye to tell him about this post. His response: “That beeyatch, Peg, no way she deserves to be Freshly Pressed! Beyonce’s blog is way better. Peg and Bush got no respect for the blacks. No Christmas card for her a–!”

I just don’t know where Kanye finds the time! I myself only recently took up this new pastime of stage-crashing. But getting on stages at as many locations as possible on any given day, and then wrestling away awards that should otherwise go to my hero, Justin Bieber, has become an almost exhausting exercise. Peg, if I might press upon you, do you think you could possibly obtain for me an address from Kanye, that I might contact him for pointers? Oh—and please tell Mr. West that I admire the work that he does grabbing these awards from the undeserving. Thank you Peg.

Of course, with all the camera coverage at the Grammy’s, this silly incident was captured for the enlightenment and education of posterity to be included with the painting of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence, film footage from World War II, and the recent films about Stephen Hawkings. The question to ponder for today is why the so called news media insists on plastering television screens and the internet with this footage. The event that was newsworthy awarding the winner. Why wasn’t that footage simply suppressed without comment. As a member of the “the public” that silly incident was not information that I need to know.

It’s not Beck’s fault that the Grammy voters screwed up and gave him an award which should have been given to the artist of Kanye’s choosing. This is one of the many reasons that I avoid award shows. As for the spelling bee, I’m not so sure how many major recording artists could have spelled taupe, though I’m sure they could work it into a song, after all, it rhymes with rope, dope and cantaloupe.

All I know is that my daughter would probably have gone all the way to the Scripps Howard Spelling Bee in Washington DC in 6th grade if she hadn’t been knocked down to 3rd place at the county-wide spelling bee by that word. So I can sympathize with Kanye on that one.
