Why drop out of the race before all the assassins have had their say?

It just gets worser and worser. I used to pray for Howard Dean to grow a pair and tell this lady to exit stage right, but I think it is more instructive for the American public to see just how deranged Killery Clinton is. I don't think any amount of mojo from the comeback kid can save her political career now. This Boomer blogger seems to think her generation will finally come to its senses. To that I say YES THEY CAN!




Thanks Keith. I couldn't have said it better.

In Defense of the Guilty White Liberal

Finally a white person publicly states the obvious:

Guilt is good, people! The only people who don't suffer guilt are sociopaths and serial killers. Guilt means you have a conscience. You have self-awareness, you have—in the case of America's history of racism—historical awareness. Just because things have gotten better in the present doesn't mean we can erase racism from our past or ignore its enduring legacy.


It's a shame that the country had to go damned near off the deep end for folks to be able to come to their senses.

Obama: Black or Biracial in 2008?

Apparently others are wondering the same thing that I am. Barack Obama - black in politics or biracial in politics? Blogger James D. Walton of the site Black in Business, asks the question and links to the reader response blog of Chicago Sun Times columnist Mary Mitchell on this very topic.

Obama seems to be riding the middle ground between black Americans who generally one drop anyone with any African heritage, and whites who want to be proven wrong in their desire to one drop anyone with African heritage. Black Americans still seem to believe (erroneously in my opinion) that enforcing a group identity will somehow ensure the social, political and economic interests of black people in America. White Americans appear to be believe that most black politicians aren't fit for national leadership positions because they are too narrow in their focus of securing the interests of black people above the (white) majority. Both positions reinforce each other, and it will take an especially skilled politician of African descent - black or biracial - to sufficiently soothe the fears of either group to be voted into the highest office. Whether Obama can keep it real while simultaneously passing into the mainstream will be a fascinating process to watch in the next couple of years.

Free Speech or Hate Speech? I Report You Decide...
