Elizabeth: “I’m a bit torn on this one, honestly, because some of my best friends are black. Dark black, too. And of course, I’d really like to see Shaun Wayans continue to get work.
“But so long as we’re speaking about Colorado: did I ever tell you about the time Hunter Thompson said that my nipples were so perfectly fearsome that, should they ever strike a blind man, they’d actually make him blinder?
“Because that made me giggle.”*
Indeed. Heh.
Our new Democrat overlords in Colorado will have absolute fits about this one.
God how I’ve missed Shannon Elizabeth takes on PW. As Forest Gump would tell you Jeff, peas and carrots.
She’s baa-ack! Weeee. Shannon’s nipples make a triumphant return to PW!
So who decided which group is to be given perferential treatment, for how long, to what degree and what constitues as past discrimination? I only ask because depending on how long you want to rewind history name one group that hasn’t both discriminated and been discriminated against.
On a side note, if Thompson actually said that he’d move up a peg on my list of Presidential hopefulls because that’s just “straight talk.”
You’ll put your eye out, kid.
Hunter Thompson hasn’t officially declared.
Which, to me, is just a savvy move.
points89. Really.
Before he can, he has some holes to fill.
and…
We know he has the heart to be president but does he have the brain?
Which just results in a see-saw of “preferential treatment” as group #1 is discriminated against in favor of group #2, followed by group #2 being discriminated against in favor of group #1.
Well, c’mon. How else is someone like Ramey going to find work?
Did HST actually say that?
Because if he did, I’m willing to forgive him some things. Like the Aspen Wallposters and “Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail.”
Hmmm….that Connerly fella must be a racist. though apparently, he’s been getting too much sun. Still, I like the cut of his jib.
If Mrs D’s family had been here during WWII, we’d be collecting instead of paying. Timing is everything.
I had better stick to pondering Ms Elizabeth’s protrusions.
That didn’t stop Jhimmi Carter…
T/W: happened55– Actually, it “happened” in ‘76- my first (and last) ‘political cartoon’ was an illustration in our 6th grade paper with “peanut guy”(think Planter’s dude w/ Carters’s big lips/big teeth barely outrunning a “Jerry-faced” auto to the finish line)…
Jeff – In case you are not aware, Mobile PW has been down all day.
Oh baby, baby…
JD —
It has? Hmm. Will pass that info along.
But were they coke-glazed?
Jeff – Yeah. I have to assume that it is a problem with PW Mobile, as it is the only one of my bookmarks that I have been unable to access. I have, obviously, been able to access the main site.
And … voila ! Mobile PW is back !!! My Treo can quit bleeding power now.
I never heard of this Connerly before, but I agree with his position 100%.
The notion that my son should be treated differently from any other boy in his year because of his colour (or lack of it) is abhorrent.
It would be an official institutionalising of race discrimination.
Nor does he need artificial aids.
Ward Connerly, Ca. Republican and black – though not to hear the libs tell it…
Yeah, Connerly got a no-discrimination law passed here in Michigan. Like to drove the Lefties nuts. They challenged all the way to an appeals court on the theory that people who signed the petition didn’t know what they were signing and/or were lied to about what they were signing, since obviously no ‘person of color’ could possibly embrace a ‘color blind’ state where people would be judged by their character rather than the color of their skin (to paraphrase someone or other).
They’re part of a group called BAMN (By Any Means Necessary). Nice.
It was pointed out that, even if *all* the signatures they attributed to African-Americans (regardless of whether or not they knew what they were signing and wanted to sign), there would *still* be enough signatures on the petitions.
They also argued the wording, semantics, and everything else they could. Polls claimed to show it wouldn’t pass. Passed by 61-39.
