A post in which I trumpet my anti-racist bona fides (for Rick Perlstein)

You know, some of my best friends are black. … And I find Steve Harvey hilarious. … Ahem. … … SEXUAL CHOCOLATE!

Rick Ellensburg has no ethical standard for Obama [Karl]

Rick Ellensburg has a new hobby horse — trying to convince people that Barack Obama is getting unfair treatment in the media, particularly regarding Obama’s relationship with his former donor and neighbor Tony Rezko, currently on trial for influence peddling.  Wednesday’s gambit was to compare the Rezko relationship to the Whitewater scandal: Throughout the 1990s, the word “Whitewater” was the weapon used continuously by the Limbaugh Right and the establishment

All-Racism Wednesday Night! [Dan Collins]

I sent Jeff this link (warning: video) to the story of a black woman who purchased typing software to improve her skills, only to find that in one of the tests she was asked to type the word . . . the “N-word”. The passage was from a classic piece of American lit. I can’t improve on his email, so I’m going to reproduce it: I told you the story

Rubbernecking (or Holy Crap, I Kind of Agree with MoDo for the Second Time in a Month)[Dan Collins]

Who?  Moi? People will have to choose which of America’s sins are [sic] greater, and which stain will have to be removed first. Is misogyny worse than racism, or is racism worse than misogyny? As it turns out, making history is actually a way of being imprisoned by history. It’s all about the past. Will America’s racial past be expunged or America’s sexist past be expunged? As Ali Gallagher, a white

Overheard in the coffee aisle at Super Target, Wednesday, 3:44 PM

Squat woman in pant suit: “My thing is, I think Hillary would make a much stronger leader, is all. Plus, she has so much experience, what with being around her husband and his administration for those, you know — however many years it was. Back when the country wasn’t in such a mess.” Taller woman in blue dress: “Sure, and I take your point. But on the other hand, everything

What liberal media (redux x4)? [Karl]

Less than a month ago, our esteemed host noted the manner in which the establishment media serves as potential kingmakers, while operating under the cover of “objectivity.”  New studies now quantify the phenomenon. The latest report (.pdf) from the Center for Media and Public Affairs from December 16, 2007 through February 19, 2008, found: Since mid-December, five out of six on-air evaluations of Senator Obama (84%) have been positive, while

Dems 2008: A new low in Obama assassination pr0n 4 U! [Karl]

The Left’s paranoid obsession with lurid fantasies of Obamartyrdom continues at the Naomi Gates Gallery in the Chelsea neighborhood of NYC, with an installation by Yazmany Arboleda simply titled, “The Assassination of Barack Obama.” Before you click, TNR’s Marty Peretz offers an overview: A few posters, photographs, GAP and Budweiser logos, an image of Bobby Kennedy haunting Obama, nine nooses and an enormous black penis stretched over three of four

Maybe PETA’s Not So Bad? [Dan Collins]

It was great having Jeff here yesterday, but I don’t see him around, so I just have to say: We caught up with Shannon Elizabeth at the National Heads Up Poker Classic at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas Nevada. She talks about how she is getting ready for Dancing with the Stars and possibly posing nude for PETA. (People for the Exposure of Tasty Ass)
