As printed on the front page of today's New York Times.
"One in 19 people are born mixed race and if you keep mixing there's going to be an average color that pops out...probably not in the next decade, but probably in the next century or so things will have changed a lot because things are changing exponentially and because of that race will no longer be the big hot topic...at least not the way it is now. Most people will be in some way mixed".
As the father of two daughters who fell in love with, and married, someone of a different race, I would give anything to be alive and able to witness this first hand.
But, I've got a good start...and his name is Romell.

D. L. Hughley - "Nigger" versus Slave
I've posted my thoughts on this subject before! But this says it all (as seen on Bill Mahers HBO broadcast on Friday, January, 28th).

Lieberman - A Connecticut Disgrace!
I have mixed emotions about him dropping out of the 2012 race. On the one hand ...I'm glad he did! On the other...I'm sorry that I won't be able to see him being trounced in a bid for re-election!
He still holds true to the whole WMD bulls**t and refers to Arianna Huffington as "Sweetie"!
You could NOT be re-elected in 2012!!! Good bye and good riddance Joe! You are a disgrace to the people of Connecticut...especially, to those of us who thought you were a better choice than Ned Lamont!

Time to move to Hawaii?
Well...four of the top five are already on my list!
Guess it's time to add Nevada to that list!

"You Lie"! Thanks Joe Wilson!
via wonkette
A South Carolina gun and accessories company has been selling a very special, one-of-a-kind semi-automatic rifle component inscribed with “YOU LIE,” to honor the state’s favorite son Joe Wilson and his good Southern gentlemanly manners.
Yes, for just $99.95, you too can carry those immortal words of pure American bald-eagle-blood spirit on your assault rifle (a kind of gun designed to be very good at killing people, for you "librul weenies" out there). Which raises the question: Isn’t it a bit late to come out with a Joe Wilson gun thing? His outburst was a whole two years ago. Though perhaps, considering very recent events, this is actually the perfect time for member-of-Congress-themed gun parts.
The product “is neither endorsed nor affiliated with Joe Wilson or his campaign,” according to a line of text at the bottom of the page. A picture of Wilson holding a rifle and standing in the company’s gun shop appears on the same page.
The perfect accessory for all your black-president-hunting-needs!
Unfortunately, the product page for this component is no longer available. Did the gun company see what happened in Arizona and take it down? We don’t know. But this “YOU LIE” thing was a limited-edition component, with a production run of 999; considering how murder guns are suddenly more popular than ever the past few days, they probably just plain sold out.

Blood Libel
Blood Libel - The blood libel is a false accusation that Jews sacrifice Christian children either to use the blood for various "medicinal" purposes or to prepare Passover Matzoth (unleavened bread) or for vengeance and mock crucifixions. It is one of the central fables of Anti-Semitism of the older (middle ages) type. The blood libel is a phenomenon of medieval and modern Christian anti-Semitism, but spread to the Middle East as early as 1775, when there was a blood libel in Hebron. A second blood libel occurred in Damascus in 1840 and one occurred in Cyprus in the same year. As the blood libel was the subject of folk ballads and literature, it was not simply a religious superstition in Europe, but a staple of popular culture, like most anti-Semitic prejudices.

Nigger Jim!
The infamous, controversial term is used over 200 times in Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn! However, we are now at a point that Twain's incredible iconic classic...is subject to censorship because of the use of the infamous "N" word...aka Nigger! (Sorry Oprah!)
Again...sorry...but it is what it is! There are those that want to censor its use and ban it from existence. What's next? Eliminate it from dictionaries? This word, as repulsive as it, is an inherent part of the American lexicon...and will be there long after I'm gone. I think future generations should be aware of its existence, its ugliness and hopefully...one day...its place in history!

Iowa too? Say it ain't so!
Regrettably...I need to add Iowa to the list! As of today…any Iowan with a permit can carry guns visibly with no restrictions, even into bars as long as the gun owner is not legally drunk!
I went to college in Iowa. Some of my best friends and fraternity brothers reside in Iowa. This can't be happening! Is this what the 2nd Amendment has come to??? I just don't get it!

One - One, One - One!
Happy New Year! No resolutions. I never keep them. Just wishing for the best.
OK...maybe one resolution. I really would like to reconnect to the friends/acquaintences that, for whatever reason, I've lost contact with. Gonna pick up the phone and see what happens! In some cases, this could turn out to be ugly...but again, I'm hoping for the best!
