Michelle Obama and the Politics of Candor

It’s like a primer on why America sucks. But, you know: sometimes you have to destroy a village to save it. And who better to pull that off than someone who so despises her country in the first place that she’d happily drive the bulldozers or steer the wrecking balls — provided, of course, she’s well compensated by the government and can, at the end of the day, enjoy a

BREAKING: More Obama-aimed RACISM!, this time from Reuters

****must credit protein wisdom**** Behold! So, what exactly are you trying to say here with your curiously framed composition, Mr Racist photojournalist? That black men have giant COCKS? With big white teeth? And why is his prodigious joint so red and white and shiny, anyway? Is that supposed to invoke, like, baboon imagery? Mulattoism? Is it intended to make white men feel insignificant, and to make white women’s breasts heave

Election 2008: Unscrambling the electoral map [Karl]

Excitable Andy, fully in the grip of Obama love and still one of the laziest of the high-traffic bloggers, claims that Barack Obama is ending the Red-Blue divide in the electoral map. He bases this on a link to his Atlantic co-blogger Ross Douthat, who in turn links to Michael Barone and Patrick Ruffini, none of whom claim that Obama will end the Red-Blue divide in the electoral map. Barone

Critically-acclaimed “half-breed” former gangbanger “Margeret B. Jones” and and 70s Kung-fu expert and counterculture icon Billy Jack discuss the difficulty of negotiating a multiculturalist society built around the duelling concepts of racial/ethnic “authenticity” and the social construction of identity — the latter being the structural imperative of a postmodern ethos whose dogmas are predicated upon the (ironic) deification of man-made paradigms

“So. I guess in a weird kinda way, we’re like, kindred spirits separated by our different cultural moments —* ” — Oh, no you don’t. Afraid you’re on your own here, my little crack-runnin’ kemosabe.”

Election 2012: Clinton gets a head start [Karl]

Hillary Clinton’s comment that presumed GOP nominee John McCain has more experience than her Democratic rival, Barack Obama — combined with her going nuclear with the “3 a.m. phone call” ad as her ’08 odds sink– has strange bedfellows like Kathryn Jean Lopez at NRO and left-liberals at OpenLeft wondering what her real motivation is. Maybe she is a Unifier!

Favre Revoir [Dan Collins]

Brett Favre has decided to retire from the NFL after 17 seasons. As a Packers fan, I’m a little heartbroken.  Mostly, though, I’m grateful for all the fun.  Thanks, Brett.

Faux Revoir, Memoir [Dan Collins]

All-too-familiar story: In “Love and Consequences,” a critically acclaimed memoir published last week, Margaret B. Jones wrote about her life as a half-white, half-Native American girl growing up in South-Central Los Angeles as a foster child among gang-bangers, running drugs for the Bloods. Margaret B. Jones is a pseudonym for Margaret Seltzer, who is all white and grew up in the well-to-do Sherman Oaks section of Los Angeles, in the

Insuperable Ignorance [Dan Collins]

Via Kathy Shaidle via Sondra K via Pat Riotic comes this tale of colossal jackassery: A former attorney general and human rights commission chairman is claiming that unborn children in the earliest stages of development are not human, and are in fact chimpanzees. Dr. Jorge Carpizo McGregor claims that “for the topic of abortion, there are very important scientific advances that prove that the DNA of chimpanzees is 99 percent
