Some other thoughts on Jesse Jackson

Jul 19th, 2008 | By admin | Category: Social

Looks like Barack Obama cannot make everybody happy these days. Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson tore into Obama with comments he thought were off-air. However the video was presented on the O’Reilly Factor show on FoxNews, July 9th 2008. Drudge broke the story earlier in the day.
So what did Jackson say? In the video [...]



Of Presumption And Racism

Jul 18th, 2008 | By admin | Category: Social

This is freaking ridiculous! This woman is so ignorant. It’s sickening that we have people like this in America. First off, just because a person is an Arab, doesn’t make them a terrorist, nor does it automatically mean that he/she is a Muslim. In fact, only about 12% of the world’s population of Muslims are [...]



Maybe hip-hop is relevant

Jul 18th, 2008 | By admin | Category: Entertainment

HRC’s radio silence in the face of her supporters is really inexecusable and everytime I see one of her sycophants demand that Obama make one of these denunviations it makes me see red.
I’m not talking about the PUMA Republican fronters, but the ostensible Democrats, who mewl about just not trusting Obama or understanding what he [...]



Last thought on the New Yorker cover

Jul 18th, 2008 | By admin | Category: Politics

This was such a missed opportunity to do the same cover, only with Cindy wearing the gun and sporting a blond Afro and John McCain wearing the Afghani garb while “terrorist fist-jabbing” with a picture of binLaden hanging over his shoulder. That would have been much more thought-provoking and smart. No matter the context it [...]



George Bush as Batman

Jul 18th, 2008 | By admin | Category: Politics

There seems to me no question that the Batman film “The Dark Knight,” currently breaking every box office record in history, is at some level a paean of praise to the fortitude and moral courage that has been shown by George W. Bush in this time of terror and war. Like W, Batman is vilified [...]



The Housing Bill

Jul 18th, 2008 | By admin | Category: Uncategorized

Instead of moving to put FM/FM into a more easily understood model–either nationalizing them, or privatising–they’re making the GSEs even weirder, and of course, piling on more debt.
It’s time for Congress to bite the bullet: nationalize them, or take them private. But keeping pet companies on a leash so that you can use [...]



More stupid hand-wringing over “Nigger”

Jul 17th, 2008 | By admin | Category: Social

So is the racial struggle artificially created or there is a problem:

“I’m very disappointed,” Rev. Al Sharpton said today about the news that Rev. Jesse Jackson used the “N-word” during the same off-camera moment recently in which Jackson uttered a crude remark about Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama.



No more complaints about how black kids act in public please

Jul 17th, 2008 | By admin | Category: Social

The difference between white pathology and black pathology is that white people and white pathologies exceed the number of black people and black pathologies. Thus, white pathologies seem “normal” and excuseable as “kids being kids”. White pathologies are also seen as relatively harmless because many people did the same thing when they were kids. (The [...]



Joe Lieberman–The Jewish Jesse Jackson

Jul 17th, 2008 | By admin | Category: Politics

Here we go wih another Obama’s opponent:
Senator Joe Lieberman, serving aptly as John McCain’s foreign policy attack dog, jumped on a conference call with reporters on Wednesday to rip holes into Barack Obama’s stance on Israel.
Playing off of Obama’s address to the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee, the Connecticut independent acknowledged that he hadn’t heard [...]
