Since I have to deal with it…
Our governor’s race here in Washington is pretty heated, and things just got hilarious: Gubernatorial candidate Rob McKenna said Monday that a campaign staffer’s months-old tweets appearing to mock Asians and the elderly were “insensitive and wrong.” The tweets, sent … Continue reading
Not racist, but related to race
Robert A. George, former Gingrich aide and now-pundit, weighed in on the controversy over the President’s Trayvon Martin speech. It’s all an interesting read, and it rightly points out that, but for 9 words, the entire thing is pitch perfect. … Continue reading
It’s hiLINrious! Wait, no, lemme try again
People have apparently been watching basketball again, long enough to see superstar-in-training Jeremy Lin tearing it up. Most people have been excited at this firecracker, others think he’s just a flash in the wok. Oh, and as you may have … Continue reading
By their fruits will you know them
Fred Clark at slacktivist posts on a topic that we’ve harped on a lot here, but it’s something that is true, that is important, and that is purposefully ignored by the modern GOP: In 1960, Jackie Robinson was a Republican. … Continue reading
Letterman the Jew?
I couldn’t tell you the last time I watched Letterman (or Leno, or Conan for that matter). If I’m watching tv around that time at night, I’d sooner put on the Daily Show or Colbert Report. So while I didn’t … Continue reading

Again? Seriously?!?!?
Don’t you just hate those words/phrases that, try as you might, you just can’t stop yourself from using? You know, like “tar baby”? What’s that you say? You don’t commonly use the phrase? Well, a bunch of Republicans do, and … Continue reading
It Can Happen Here

The Race Riots in Peoria
While looking through The Tree Of Liberty forums earlier, I stumbled across a story about an alleged race riot in Peoria. Sounded alarming and … well, I won’t play around for narrative purposes, it sounded like complete bullshit: The screen … Continue reading

I mean, “strapping” is kind of a compliment…
Jeffrey Goldberg has a great interview with the most mystifying candidate in the GOP race, Herm Cain. Over at Balloon Juice, ABL pointed out the stupidity of Cain saying Obama was raised in Kenya, but I think there’s more meat … Continue reading

Forget It, Jake. It’s Real America

Avowedly Non-Racist Southern Whites Through The Years On Black Voting Rights And Political Leadership
Newt Gingrich, last week: “maybe we should also have a voting standard that says to vote, as a native born American, you should have to learn American history. [applause]”. More Newt: “the Obama system is going to lead us down the path … Continue reading

The Hate That Dare Not Speak Its Name

“I Feel Great and Scored Two But What Happened with the Banana Is Sad”
