Defiance.  This man simply eschews political correctness.  He doesn’t know the meaning of the word:

Barack Obama referred to himself as a ‘mutt’ last night in his first press conference since being elected America’s first black president.

The president-elect brought up his own mixed race roots while talking about the type of puppy he’d promised his daughters for their move to the White House.

Although the focus of his first public appearance since Tuesday night’s historic triumph was the economy, Mr Obama astounded observers by defying  political correctness to explain his doggy dilemma.

The Daily Mail wasn’t the only one falling all over itself that someone would be so willing to challenge their own steel grip over what language is considered racist and what isn’t.  But this Presidential Mutt wasn’t done yet.  Oh, no.

After standing to attention and blowing his whistle, he got the Press to lay down, roll over, and play dead.

From the London Times:  President-Elect Mutt is “Best In Show, with a pedigree all his own”

From an enthusiastic AP: Here’s a fella who “will be quite at ease discussing race“…

Something tells me that if anyone else referred to him as a mutt or a halfbreed that the media would be looking at them as if they just wet their grandmother’s egyptian rug before sending them off to be put to sleep at the kennel.

The point is that Obama is quite comfortable with his race.  It’s given him everything he owns.  He won’t be easily offended by some gruff language when talking about it unless he needs to play the race card.

But if a mutt isn’t good enough for his household, then why is one good enough for the Presidency?  At least now I can blame my vote against him on allergies.

Some people were wondering what Jesse Jackson really thought on election night.  Let me break it down for you while the Press’s fondness for political correctness has waned.

(more…)

Yeah, I think I’ll be calling him President Hussein for the next four years. That has a nice – and familiar – ring.

We may as well get ready for the new culture of thought crime prosecution that’s been coming for quite some time. For those of you who haven’t been paying attention to Canada and Europe’s hate speech prosecutions (which are coming to your neighborhood soon), here’s how it works.

If the left hangs Sarah Palin in effigy, it is excused (or celebrated) as “art”. And we are all to “respect the artist.”

How civilized.

On the flip side, if there is a response to this – in this case, a hanging of B. Hussein Osama in effigy – those people are arrested and prosecuted for a hate crime. It’s also referred to as a “lynching” by the Old Media.

The UK authorities are the same knee-jerk, politically-correct administrators who couldn’t find their balls with two hands and a road map. You’ll find this same gutless caving-in-to-grievance-groups from the ivory towers of universities to the boardrooms of the corporations that are regularly shaken down by the likes of Jackson and Sharpton.

The First and Second Amendments will be the first targets of the coming Socialist/Dim-O-Crack Government, so speak up before the inauguration, because doing so later will get you jail time.

Or in this case, just a bitch.

The new make nicey-nice memo went out the campaign and their friends in the media but Carol Fowler seems to have missed it.

More! Apparently Fowler is a nastly little political pit bull as well.

What?  You’ve never heard of “going ape” over something before?  It’s an old expression.  Not unlike putting lipstick on a pig or wrapping stinky, old fish in a newspaper.

For crying out loud – it’s just an idiom!  Don’t read more into it than I’m saying folks.  That’s all I’m saying.  Don’t go crazy.  *ahem*  Exercising some restraint is what I’m trying to convey.

Watch the video above though.  That was a premeditated insult that he started rubbing his forehead over before he said it and he’s going to live to regret it.

Watch the crowd start to cheer when they begin to “get” the joke.  (OMFG! – did he just say that?!? *whisper, whisper* This is exactly the kind of attack we’ve been waiting for!  Yay!)

Then watch them pitifully try to spin their way out of this before being forced to apologize for you misunderstanding what they meant. The same people who see coded racial attacks in the phrase “community organizer” can’t see Obama’s callback to Palin’s  “The only difference between a hockey mom and a pit ball is lipstick” remark from last week is little more than selective sensitivity.  Or insensitivity as the case may be.  Alas, such is the moral tuning fork of the liberal white male.  So attuned to the plight of the black man as he is.

My, my – what a difference a few points in the polls makes.  Thank God the era of Karl Rove’s dirty politics is over.  Two weeks ago, no one could have told you who Sarah Palin was.  Today they could tell you that she’s the bad mothering, wolf-killing, land raping, moose hating, adulterous mating, earmark taking, pregnancy faking, banned book baking,  Down syndrome baby-making, pig in lipstick who smells like old fish.  In two weeks.

Change – can’t you feel it in the air?

Digging Yourselves Into An Early Grave: Censorship from these Diggheads? Never saw that coming.

Seems talking about Palin is only ripe for shovels when they’re cracking one across the back of her head.

9/10 UPDATE: Digg now posts Obama’s response to a story they refused to even allow on their site.  Nice move, diggleberries.

Not one to leave a mouth shoeless, Joe Biden gets in on some Sarah sucker punches too – Hey, you know who could really use some embryonic stem cells, that retarded baby of yours.

Stay classy, Big J.

UPDATE (PTH):

Do you think Big J will call Gov. Palin sweetie during the debate? Or are their sexist/racist/religionist slurs reserved for B. Hussein, due to his protected class status?

I suppose we’ll find out soon enough!

Dangling enema bag Matt Pulle, of the effervescently douchetastic Nashville Scene, did what few have achieved in these partisan times of ours. He persuaded a local Democrat attorney to write a letter in defense of a conservative candidate for a federal judgeship (and his former legal opponent) to Pat “Leaky” Leahy after Pulle’s incessant vinegary offerings:

Federal judicial nominee Gus Puryear has the support from what some might consider an unlikely spot in the city’s legal community — the opposing attorney in one of the most high-profile cases against Puryear’s employer, private prison giant Corrections Corporation of America.

Nashville attorney David Randolph Smith formally offered his support of Puryear’s nomination to a federal judgeship in the Middle Tennessee District in a Feb. 25 letter to U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Patrick Leahy.

Because Matt’s a uniter not a divider.

You see, Puryear was an able attorney for a corporation and thus evil. Unlike the zealous scumbags who defend “dead to rights” murderers that The Scene usually admires.

Puryear also has ties to known Republicans so he is naturally tainted by their stink. Unlike one of our 6MB favorites – one Aleta Trauger. Though I don’t count cold fish as a meat. She was a Clinton/Gore delegate and then Democrat Mayor’s Chief of Staff and whose husband chaired that same Mayor’s campaign (and gubernatorial campaign as well) when she got put on the federal bench after being a mediocre bankruptcy judge. A bankruptcy judgeship that was created just for her.

Of course, I remember this because of all the Scene articles decrying her politically motivated appointment at the time.

Because politics playing a role in getting a seat on the bench is wrong. Right?

Yet, in the letter to Leahy, Smith states Puryear would be an “excellent judge.”

“Basically, he is very sharp, keen-minded, inquisitive and has a very good grasp of the law,” Smith wrote. “He is reflective and has a personality that listens but also argues strongly for his position. He is confident but not arrogant.”

But what would prompt this loyal Democrat to stand-up for this Cheney-loving Christofascist Corporate Bastage?

Smith added that though the Scene article didn’t come out until March 6, the questions asked in the interview with Pulle further motivated him to write the letter in February.

“Matt Pulle talked to me on the phone and gave me all this criticism (of Puryear). It’s not that he didn’t quote me,” Smith said. “It was him (Pulle) telling me the guts of the criticism and knowing the story was going to come out.”

[...]

“I said the exact same things in that letter that I said to Matt Pulle,” Smith insisted. “I said good things about him, none of which were quoted.”

The Scene takes partisan liberties in it’s stories??? The hell you say. The goal was to get some “pile on” quotes from the people who know him best.

Since that original article, Pulle has taken stalking to new lows by attempting to paint an otherwise respected attorney as a racist and misogynist and cheering on a Soros backed, ex-con fellow stalker in a Members’ Only jacket. Engaged in a bit of plagiarism too if you consider his original cover story hit piece as a mere re-wording (with a couple of lame local quotes) of the previous month’s Mother Jones article.

If Puryear gets the nod, his first act as Judge should be to send Pulle some flowers to go with all of his fertilizer. A month ago, I couldn’t have told you who the hell Gus Puryear was but if he pisses off the inky asswipes at the local Village Idiot Voice then he’s good enough for me.

Editor’s note: Although the comments on the “Beast Forum” site had been in place since Sept. 2005, coincidentally in a section dubbed “Tennessee Folks Only”, someone somehow decided to go in and delete them mere hours after I posted this blog entry after drawing attention to them.  Almost three years after the fact.  Google still shows that it once existed though the comment was deleted and I, of course, have the screenshot captured above – rightly surmising that someone might attempt to cover their paw prints.  It is the cover up that gets you after all.

Intrepid reporter Matt Pulle refused to acknowledge the connection after commenters brought it to his attention in his Scene blog post on the Puryear story.  Feeling that he had “taken the knot”, when overlooked for the Scene editor’s job he eventually packed up his dog bowl, ball and gag and moved to Texas.  We miss you Mutt Pulle.

Also, cleanliness is a corporate scam pushed by a small cabal of soap manufacturers.

No really.

At least that what they would have you believe.

This confirms my theory that government also injected bacteria into our communities. The Bubonic Plague? Bishop Wrighte of Canterbury was all over it.

I can tell by your completely natural odor that you have not bought into the Great Lie.

Seeing as this is an economics writer in the business section of the Sydney Morning Herald, there has got to be a point to this. Right?

I was going to liveblog the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s “He Is Risen – To Speechify Shortly Beyond Retirement” tour at Trinity but the current speaker has informed their audience that they are afraid you know who is watching *wink, wink* (translation: me) so they are dropping the live webcast.

Ok, they’re back.

They just had to “have a little family discussion” in private.

The Gettysburg Address was 257 words. The Obamessiah’s “I, Too, Have A Dream, Also As Well” 8th grade forensics entry to the “Unity” theme competition clocks in just under 4,790 words.

I’m just sayin’.

That’s a lotta jibberjabber to crucible down to “we have a historic opportunity to heal if you vote for me“. And that “we shouldn’t be concerned with racial divides when we should be consumed by class war”.

Look to the cookie, everyone. It holds the key.

Look at it. It disturbs some of you, doesn’t it?

“Visualize World Piece” Update : If multicultural cookies can bridge the racial divide, please God,  let the gender war be decided with cream pies.

It’s a black man’s world. But it would be nothing…..NOTHING!!! without a white woman or white girl.

I think that’s what James Brown meant to say. As Mr. Brown, is smoking on that Great PCP Pipe In The Sky, “It’s a Man’s, Man’s World” will instead be sung by “Sweet Jeans” Geraldine (Ferraro).

Sweet Jean’s belting one out to the back row for her soul sisters being pillaged on a politically correct mattress of vaginal inequity by a modern-day electoral Mandingo (featuring The Obamessiah).

Sing it, girl. Second verse same as the first:

” ‘Any time anybody does anything that in any way pulls this campaign down and says let’s address reality and the problems we’re facing in this world, you’re accused of being racist, so you have to shut up,’ Ferraro said. ‘Racism works in two different directions. I really think they’re attacking me because I’m white. How’s that?’…

“Ferraro said she was simply stating an obvious truth, as seen in exit polls that show Obama taking as much as 80 percent of the black vote in the Democratic primaries.

“ ‘In all honesty, do you think that if he were a white male, there would be a reason for the black community to get excited for a historic first?’ Ferraro said. ‘Am I pointing out something that doesn’t exist?’ …

Hot Messiah Sex.

Something tells me that she’s not getting invited back to Showtime At The Apollo.

Well What Did You Expect From A Woman? Update – Sweet Jeans is forced to resign:

Dear Hillary –
I am stepping down from your finance committee so I can speak for myself and you can continue to speak for yourself about what is at stake in this campaign.

The Obama campaign is attacking me to hurt you.

I won’t let that happen.

…etc., etc., etc…..

Love, Sweet Jeans

Whatever. Hillary Clinton has already lost this race. She spent the whole time running against George Bush while Mandingo-messiah kept slapping her in the face with his Fundraising Cock of Fury.

This resignation is a victory for the Howard Dean wing of the Democratic Party. Cancel Bill’s hookers. This party’s over.

Sweet Jeans, you need to face the facts that you’re a racist.  You.  Not me.

Nashville’s free daily, The City Paper, weighed in on Le Jihad de Hussein bin Farrakhanvict this morning to provide some much needed irony to a brummagem brouhaha:

McCain and Alexander were correct for disavowing the use of Obama’s full name in these communications from party officials and supporters. They were quite obviously code words used in poor taste to inflame otherwise justified fears of the Muslim world in general from Americans.
[...]
At the same time, “Hussein” is the actual middle name of the man who could very well be president of the U.S. There is no getting around that fact. At some point, the equally vexing fear mongers of political correctness in this country are going to have to concede that a president’s full name is often if not frequently used in our culture as a sign of respect.

After the election, should the Senator from Illinois become our next president, we as a country cannot go around for four to eight years pretending he does not have a middle name. The idea is laughable. During the election, operatives in the GOP and elsewhere need to follow the advice of leaders like McCain and Alexander and show some restraint and better judgment.

But there’s no irony there, McMurphy – whatever do you mean?

Further to “vexing fear mongers of political correctness” and “show(ing) some restraint and better judgment”, what you missed if you didn’t pick up the dead tree version of the City Paper was this hilarious politically incorrect insert for where to send your chirrens to Camp this summer:

Is that a mote in your eye or a tomahawk?

Nothing says showing restraint and good judgment like dressing up your cherubic li’l anglos in warpaint and makin’ raindance for Indian Summer.

Of course maybe collecting scalps, smoking the peacepipe, and playing blackjack ’til three in the morning isn’t your cup of firewater. Maybe Camp Slave Days is more the experience you want the kids to celebrate come Happy Juneteenth. No word if there’s a discount for booking during Black History month.

Let Salvation Be Your Vaccination:

Your God’s only as big as the snake that you handle when you laugh, learn, love and get bit by the word of the Lord at Camp Pentecostal.

Thanks City Paper. You’re the Centrum for my snicker-starved soul. Providing me my 100% recommended daily allowance for irony.

I needed that.

Maverick.

Presumptive Republican Presidential candidate John Sidney McCain, III denounced comments he made earlier today saying that they had no place in his campaign. The comments in question related to Democrat hopefuls Hillary Clinton and He Who Shall Not Be Named* regarding his knowledge of a misunderstood group of freedom fighters in Iraq:

GOP presidential candidate John McCain mocked Democrat Barack Obama today for saying he’d take action as president “if al-Qaida is forming a base in Iraq.”

McCain told a crowd in Tyler, Texas “I have some news. Al-Qaida is in Iraq. It’s called ‘al-Qaida in Iraq.’”

McCain said he didn’t watch Obama and Democratic rival Hillary Rodham Clinton debate last night in Cleveland. But he said he was relayed Obama’s response when asked if as president he’d reserve the right to send U.S. troops back into Iraq to quell an insurrection or civil war.

When Mr. McCain was reached for comment by reporters, the Straight Talk Express didn’t mince words:

“Mockery of my betters in this campaign is unacceptable no matter who’s doing it, even me. You know, this is a free country and all but people don’t have a right to say whatever they want in my campaign. Hillary and He Who Shall Not Be Named* are honorable Americans who deserve to run a clean race without us nasty Republicans making fun of their good names”, as he got down on bended knee.

“I want to disassociate myself from my disparaging remarks about their ability to lead this country. It was totally uncalled for and I am being dealt with appropriately. I cede no moral high ground when it comes to treating my opponents with respect – whether it’s Hillary or what’s his face.”

UPDATE:  Next!

So says Nas draped in his fresh, new “N-word” tee at the Grammys. In celebration of his forthcoming album, originally titled “N-Word”. Peeps are making all sort of serious statements ‘n shit deez days. NSFW (not safe for whitey)

It’s all experiences we go through everyday of all ethnicities. White, black, indifferent.”
[...]
We’ve all at some point felt discriminated on whether it’s in the Dominican Republic, whether it’s in China whether it’s in Iraq wit soldiers gettin’ dey heads blown off for reasons we don’t know why. And you know the meaning of the word is supposed to be “ignorant”.

Word is bond. No argument there.

So there’s money being made off us “poor”, “innocent, so-called “ignorant” people so no longer are just black people n****as today. It’s also me and you.

But making money off us poor, innocent, and ignorant people is what makes the rims go ’round. It’s what Street Dreams is made of. Who am I to disagree?

This is a whole new channel. That train has left the station…what I’m thinking about is a more current issue….

It’s time for a new President to come in office and abolish this thing that only allows black people to vote for another 23 years. Whoever can abolish this thing that doesn’t allow black people to vote after 23 years from now.

???

Anybody feel free to clue me in to that one. Anybody at all. All I know is that since I am also an n-word now that my vote is in jeopardy too. So whatever this thing is that keeps me from voting in 23 years, I’m down with abolishing it too.

It’s probably the same thing that’s keeping me from voting this year – the Republican Party.

I like the non sequitur at the end where his beotch grabs the mic to drop some serious unrelated knowledge about John Lennon writing “Woman Is The N-Word of the World”. That was 1972.

So much for Instant KKKarma.

What’s old (school) is new (school) again UPDATE: I’d almost forgotten about N.W.A. releasing ‘Niggaz4Life’ wayback in 1989 1991. I should have since I worked at Sam Goody for about 2 months at the time.

Back then, N.W.A.’s album was originally released as “Efil4zaggin” out of fear of being censored by Al and Tipper Gore. Still, it debuted at Number #2 on the Billboard Charts. Now, almost 20 years later, Nas is stealing the creative Alpine stereo out of N.W.A.’s racebaiting ’64 Impala.

Congrats Nas, you are truly standing on the shoulders of n-words. A pioneer - just like them. Twenty years ago. Doing the exact same stunt.

Empowering: N-words With Attitude.

It came out yesterday but it’s new to me. Sadly, the chefs of political correctness across the pond have cranked up the temperature in their crock pot of tolerance and boiled British Bulldog is this evening’s entree. Mark Steyn sips deeply from Julia Childs’ apéritif and stuffs yellow-bellied lobsterbacks into a sausage casing delivered fresh to your table:

First They Came for Piglet
Excessive deference to Islam.

By Mark Steyn

My favorite headline of the year so far comes from The Daily Mail in Britain: “Government Renames Islamic Terrorism As ‘Anti-Islamic Activity’ To Woo Muslims.”

[...]

Well, yes, one sort of sees what she means. Killing thousands of people in Manhattan skyscrapers in the name of Islam does, among a certain narrow-minded type of person, give Islam a bad name, and thus could be said to be “anti-Islamic” — in the same way that the Luftwaffe raining down death and destruction on Londoners during the Blitz was an “anti-German activity.”
[...]
Still, it should add a certain surreal quality to BBC news bulletins: “The Prime Minister today condemned the latest anti-Islamic activity as he picked through the rubble of Downing Street looking for his 2008 Wahhabi Community Outreach Award. In a related incident, the anti-Islamic activists who blew up Buckingham Palace have unfortunately caused the postponement of the Queen’s annual Ramadan banquet.”

Political correctness is the disease and Mark Steyn is the cure. Make sure you’re up to date on your inoculations:

This is now a recurring theme in British life. A while back, it was a local government council telling workers not to have knick-knacks on their desks representing Winnie-the-Pooh’s porcine sidekick, Piglet. As Martin Niemöller famously said, first they came for Piglet and I did not speak out because I was not a Disney character and, if I was, I’m more of an Eeyore. So then they came for the Three Little Pigs, and Babe, and by the time I realized my country had turned into a 24/7 Looney Tunes it was too late, because there was no Porky Pig to stammer “Th-th-th-that’s all, folks!” and bring the nightmare to an end.

Can puppy crockpot give puppy blender a run for it’s money?

Finally, the Canadian media speaks up regarding the Kangaroo courts that are the Human Rights Commisions.

Sadly, (and predictably) on the wrong side of the issue.

Here is the background for the three of you who don’t know about the Ezra Levant fiasco.

And for the offender to judged against Berkeley-style political correctness standards. If a crime has been committed, then charge the offender and give that person their day in court.

Wow, this is powerful stuff. Ezra Levant of the Canadian magazine The Western Standard, makes his opening statements to the Alberta Human Rights Commission.

He was called before the Human Rights commission to explain his publishing of the Mohammad cartoons.

Watching this, one gets the feeling that this could be the beginning of the end of Political Correctness run amok. Well, at least it makes me hopeful.

It reminds me of the moment in the movie “The Front” when Woody Allen’s character tells one of the McCarthy commissions that they can go shove it.

My ire isn’t so much with the Radical Islamists. It is really with the liberal who for whatever noble purpose, hacks at the roots of Western civilization.

Like the arc of “McCarthyism”, there seems, hopefully, a coming point where the overreach of the thoughtcrime prosecutors will go too far and find their authority curtailed.

Should that happen, the students and malcontents will scream racism and even McCarthyism. But I hope the grown-up people who usually remain quiet won’t knuckle under this time.

Turns out the Dem debate “Diamonds or Pearls” question was made up by CNN was requested and fed to from a former staffer for Harry Reid. Not since Little Shop of Horrors have I been so entertained at a plant that could talk:

When University of Nevada, Las Vegas student Maria Luisa Parra-Sandoval asked New York Sen. Hillary Clinton whether she preferred diamonds or pearls, the crowd erupted with laughter.

But some 24 hours later, Parra-Sandoval said she was upset she had to ask the question. Parra-Sandoval couldn’t elaborate because she was on her way to work.

[...]

On Wednesday, a CNN producer asked Parra-Sandoval for two more questions, one on a serious topic and a lighter question, The New York Times reported.

[...]

On her MySpace page Parra-Sandoval vented her frustration, saying CNN wanted her to use the less thoughtful question.

She wrote: “That’s what the media does. See, the media chose what they wanted, not what the people or audience really wanted. That’s politics; that’s reality. … But do not judge me or my integrity based on that question.”

[...]

Parra-Sandoval is a member of the Honors College at UNLV. She was selected to attend the prestigious Public Policy and Leadership Conference at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and to serve as a political communications intern for Sen. Harry Reid in Washington, D.C., according to a press release the school issued about two years ago.

Feed me, Seymour!

Judge her integrity based on that question? What integrity?

Seeing as how the hyphenated Parra-Sandoval was Harry Reid’s political communications intern, it appears that cubic zirconia queries are CNN’s preference.

I’m sorry for piling on like that. After all, she’s just a girl.

Just one more question for Mrs. Rodham-Clinton from another undecided voter in the CNN audience:

Boxers or briefs? From one mean, green mother to another.

This is totally not O-tay.

In fact, The Cream of Wheat Man is wrapping his pimp hand in plaster of paris as we speak:

Oh no, you diuhn’t.

Having said that, Billie “Buckwheat” Thomas was a pioneer.

Not one to lose perspective, an aggrieved party complained:

If you’re going to do “all you can do”, does this mean we’ll see you at Republican Headquarters tomorrow morning?

Raise the white flag, you rough-and-tumble New Yorkers.

Nigel has the low down on NYC’s public shame.

You haven’t really seen the race card played until you’ve seen the race card played by a self-righteous, overly-enthusiastic hispanic soccer mom at a 5-year-old soccer game. Note to over-the-top soccer mom: Just because you are passionate to a fault about your kid’s soccer talents, doesn’t give you a green light to overstep the boundaries of acceptable parent behavior at a game where the score isn’t even officially kept. Wait until they’re at least 7 before you start screaming “discrimination.”

On the other hand, you can just bring your ACLU-provided attorney every Saturday morning to make sure everyone knows who gots the real power.

Sharpton and Jackson are reportedly outraged after a 13-year-old cracker assaults group of innocent black youths with his head and face, creating painful bruises and other injuries on their fists and feet.

“How dare that arrogant young racist thrust his head, face and body at the fists, elbows and knees of these fine young people!?,” an outraged Sharpton was quoted as responding. “I do hope that this young man is charged with the hate crime that he most certainly committed.”

“This is becoming a racist pattern of single white boys attacking groups of young blacks – who were minding their own business, probably getting ready for work – that cannot be allowed to stand. We encourage all of the fine folks who took time out of their daily soap opera viewing to join us at Jena to come to Norfolk this weekend and seek justice against this 13-year-old white hooligan,” Jackson added.

Watch the video of this white-on-black crime here.

Only in California. Well, maybe not only in California, but certainly an unsurprising turn of events for the Gay Bay Area.

“Man tragically killed” during attempted robbery.

Feelin’ the SF Chronicle love yet?

Simply outstanding journalism from Henry “Tookie” Lee. Their lives “intersected tragically” when Boonie and his dawgs decided it was time to rob the pizza place. When Lee wrote that Piedra was fearful that the assailants might hurt him, it really painted a picture for me. It’s like I was there. Top notch wordsmithing.

But if you think Lee’s journalistic skills need work, just smell what the Oakland P.D. be cookin’.

Thanks, Officer. This is why we don’t call you when there’s a problem. Piedra should be hailed as a freaking role model, not second-guessed. Just remember kids, don’t take the law into your own hands. Wait for the Police Clean-Up Crew™ to come and scrape up the remains of you and your family. Be a good witness, but don’t defend yourself.

Well, that’s where you’re wrong again, Officer. Society wins when human debris like Boonie is shown the door. Oakland is a winner. The country is a winner. The planet is a winner. And most of all Piedra is a winner, because he didn’t allow himself and his family to become more statistics in the mile-long Oakland P.D. daily crime report.

The toughest part, though, is the loss of another young rapper. If there’s one thing this country is in need of, it’s more of the same. Journalist “Tookie” Lee made sure that he took a knee and wept at the Boonie’s makeshift memorial to show proper respeck for the fallen rap hero. And despite his occasional failings, Boonie was a good man.

How noble. The basketball dribbling Rosa Parks(es) of the Rutgers basketball team rose from the back of their racially aggrieved bus and walked off prior to meeting with former presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton.

Clinton had been scheduled to meet with Scarlet Knight coach C. Vivian Stringer and an assistant, and possibly some of the players, Monday to talk with them about Don Imus’s “nappy-headed ho” comments.

But that sit-down was postponed due to weather and because the story seemed far less significant after the Virginia Tech killings.

Good thing “Selma” didn’t coincide with a rain event or we’d all still be sitting at segregated lunch counters.

All right you dead kids. Make way for the living. You’ve had your moment in the sun. Now it’s Hillary’s time to shine:

After meeting with Stringer Friday morning, Clinton addressed about 700 students and faculty on campus later in the day, praising the players and naming them one-by-one while criticizing “bigotry” against women. She never named Imus directly and made a point of saying her criticism wasn’t intended to curtail free speech.

She urged the crowd to take a “Rutgers pledge,” to say, “Enough is enough, when women or minorities or the powerless are marginalized or degraded.”

Biting social commentary. As usual, Juanita Broderick and a host of other women sexually assaulted by Mrs. Clinton’s husband were not available for comment.

Apparently some muzleems – or was it school officials (?) – became emotionally overwrought after coming within several feet of ham and had to be restrained. From eating it. Or something like that. I don’t know, go read it.

Ham, ham, a hundred times ham.

Thank heavens for swift thinking administrators who approached the ham in full hazmat gear, transporting it with mile-long tongs to the nearest biological waste receptacles. The same receptacles, incidentally, where the students place their used condoms after class.

It’s a good thing my three-year old princess didn’t get near that ham, or there would be none of it left with which to commit a hate crime.

As usual, JG has the perspective…

Maine’s been full of dhimmis for years, though. Shame too, cuz it’s a beautiful state.

My last word on the racialist screwjob put to a talker I couldn’t stand and the seemingly incomprehensible and selective outrage by the usual sideshow of poverty pimps and nappy-headed hessians of corporate blackmail handouts:

Neil Rogers, the Miami DJ who was always secure in his job, a scant few years ago with his break-out single – “Condoleeza” -

Rogers play the song – titled “Condoleezza” and sung to the music of Nat King Cole’s “Mona Lisa” – on his show 11/6.

Performed in vocal mannerisms reminiscent of “Amos ‘n’ Andy,” the lyrics expand the attack on Rice delivered recently by calypso singer Harry Belafonte, who painted the Bush national security chief as a “house slave” in an interview with CNN.

Some lyric excerpts:

“Condoleezza, Condoleezza, what you be doin’?

That neo-fascist black-haired token schwartza dog.

“Is you there ’cause you a high-toned public Negro?

Is you their black-haired answer-mammy who be smart?

Does they like how you shine their shoes, Condoleezza?

Or the way you wash and park the whitey’s cars.

“Georgie junior says he trusts you, Condoleezza. Who said our (unintelligible) off the greedy oil woes. But then he make you clean all the White House bathrooms. The public sink, the toilet and let’s scrub the floors.”

Not so incomprehensible. Sure the NAACP never made a complaint, organized a boycott, bake sale, or press conference. Sure the national media coverage buried this story while it’s audio lynching was still swinging from the tree. No visit from Oprah, or Maxine Waters, or Sheila Jackson-Lee. No rehab here.

But at least he didn’t say “nappy ho”.

Once-tolerable sportscaster Billy Packer has ruffled the very-easily-ruffled feathers of the swishy set with some of his comments over the weekend.

Gays everywhere rejoiced when they got the news of Packer’s comments, as there were fears throughout the GLTBAP community that the week of April 1-7 may have been the first week in recent memory where the media failed to produce a comment about which they could be offended.

When notified of the off-color comment, area homosexual Bruce Nine was briefly pleased, then outraged at the news. “Thank goodness… er…. I mean, it’s unfortunate that Packer felt the need to use this type of slur, but it does serve as an important teaching moment for those who still don’t understand what words are allowed and what words should be banned by law. Packer’s words are hurtful and abusive towards myself and my brothers and I hope he will get the re-education therapy he needs.”
