Iowahawk Reminds Me Why I’ll Always Be A Third Tier Blogger
November 6th, 2008 at 10:09 pm by Preston Taylor HolmesSumming up the election as only he can… America can take pride in this historic, inspirational disaster.
Yes, I know there are probably other African-Americans much better qualified and prepared for the presidency. Much, much better qualified. Hundreds, easily, if not thousands, and without any troubling ties to radical lunatics and Chicago mobsters. Gary Coleman comes to mind. But let’s not let that distract us from the fact that Mr. Obama’s election represents a profound, positive milestone in our country’s struggle to overcome its long legacy of racial divisions and bigotry. It reminds us of how far we’ve come, and it’s something everyone in our nation should celebrate in whatever little time we now have left.
…
So for now, let’s put politics aside and celebrate this historic milestone. In his famous speech at the Lincoln Memorial 45 years ago, Dr. King said “I have a dream that one day my children will live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” Let us now take pride that Tuesday we Americans proved that neither thing matters anymore.
Thank God we live in the post-racial era, or I might be criticized for even linking something as controversial as this. As always with Iowahawk, read the whole thing, but don’t drink anything while reading it.

Sigh, moi aussi, Mr. Sixmeat. Perhaps together as 3rd tiers we could make us a nice 6 tiered cake of parody, and still we would never rise to the level of Iowahawk. I can only learn from the master.

Any room for us 5th tiers in that cake?

It’s true, though. I’m dismayed that while I feel pride in our nation’s ability to elect a minority president, I can’t celebrate as I would like, because there are so many doubts swirling about his practices, possible fraud, dubious connections, and positions left even of Hillary.
The liberal illuminati have managed to get a president elected in spite of all these qualms that Americans should have taken seriously.
To vote without discernment should never be applauded.

My mortgage is due and my gas tank is almost empty. Which government office do I visit to pick up my check, or will they just mail it?

Iowahawk pisses me off. Seriously. It’s just not fair that he’s so freakin funny.

The good thing is that with the new fairness doctrine, we will be able to take nearly all of Iowahawk’s funny and redistribute it to the the rest of us not-quite-as-funny bloggers. It will be sweet.
