- The racist card and the sexist card. Is Geraldine Ferraro a racist? Eh, likely not. But it is of note that the charge is coming fast and furious against her from Obama’s supporters, isn’t it?I mean, look…You knew the race card was gonna get played, and you knew who by. But is Ferraro’s comment off base?Think on it now; Postulate a white Candidate with Obama’s stated list of qualifications, in either party. Would such a person be a front running in the race now, were they not a person of color? Which is not to say that Hillary Clinton is not similar in her being under-qualified for the position she now has, much less the one she seeks. She’s in the position she’s in because of the gender factor. And yes, because she’s merely a proxy for her erstwhile husband…. a point which the feminst left is lothe to admit even to itself. In the end, what we have here is two intractable forces, looking for any excuse they can to take offense at the other. Welcome to the Democratic party of today. It’s like I said elsewhere recently; Identity politics is of course, by its very nature, racist, sexist, etc. The real fun comes from watching its adherents try to avoid that basic fact. Certainly, identity politics is at the center of what the Democrat party is all about. Oh… they do have to have a certain mindset… they’d not be interested in Shelby Steele, or Condi Rice. I guess they’re just racist, huh? Or maybe this is simply a way to keep your opponant on the defensive?
- Why this undue fascination with the identity of Gov.Eliot Spitzer’s Rent-A-Wench? I mean, after all, the evidence would seem to suggest she’s one of literally hundreds. Are these others going to be exposed, as well? This aspect could take deacdes to cover!
- Oh, good, just what we needed. Jack “Doctor Death” Kevorkian has decided to run for Congress, says the Jawas. Just the thing to spice things up in Washington.
- Did you notice the arrests in the UNC killing, the other day? Did you notice what the press wasn’t calling the suspects? Hint; Hillary Clinton supporters got in trouble for mentioning this factor the other day.
- And you think you can’t get in the bathroom? Yikes!
- More Cubans voting with their feet. Can’t understand it; Cuba’s a paradise, right?
- Scenes we’d like to see:

Barack Obama is sort of like a less qualified version of Hike Huckabee, glib. slick and shallow. Huckabee won Ioaw, period.
On the democrat side, Obama is slightly more tanned version of John Edwards, miss the hairdo. I don’t believe Edwards one a single sate, despite living and spending a fortune in Iowa.
