I love it when a celebrity, politician, sports star, etc. makes a fool out of themselves by saying something inappropriate, which then causes an uproar for a day or two. Then they come out with their “apology,” which many times sounds like anything but. It usually goes something like this, “IF I offended anyone, I apologize.” Does that mean if you didn’t offend anyone, you’re not apologizing? That doesn’t sound like much of an apology to me. Why not just own up to whatever you said or did, and just say, “I messed up. I’m sorry.”

Just an idea.
