Bullshyte. I haven't oppressed or subjugated anyone, and I do not have to "eat a little." I'm sorry that blacks faced adversity in America. It was wrong, but it's in the past. Black Egyptians oppressed and subjugated white slaves to build pyramids and palaces and such. Does that give me a right to make blacks "eat a little?" Or is your entire concept predicated on an arbitrary number of years which limits victims of such oppression to carrying grievances for only however long it is necessary to make only whites bad and only non-whites good? Face it, everyone has hurt everyone, and everyone has been hurt by everyone. Applying rules to certain people and not others, such as "He can be a douche and say douchey things, but you can't, so eat it" does nothing other than perpetuate the cycle of inequality and prejudice which brought about those injustices in the first place. Just as with Israel and Palastine, progress will only be possible when all sides, victim, aggressor and bystander, lay down their grievances, stop sniping at each other, and put it all in the past for good. Douchebags like Lowery only prevent that from happening, and all of you making apologies and excuses for him are merely enabling him. If you're cool with that, good for you. I, however, prefer to actually embrace what's right, instead of merely talking about doing it.

I love old hippie-speak, but I'm old enough to remember it the first time around.

Does anyone else think Cheney wasn't really confined to a wheelchair due to an injured back? Bill and I thought he looked like he'd had a stroke.

[Ghoulish Delight]

He always looks like that.




Besides, it was a metaphor.

Chris Matthews said over and over and over that Cheney in a wheelchair was "like a metaphor". It was retarded.

That is lame.

I don't think he looked like he had a stroke. He just looked pissed off that he was stuck in the wheelchair, and pained to be alive. Like he always looks.

Yes, it was.

Oh, and under the heading of "Oh No, She Didn't"...

A group of coworkers and I were discussing the Inaugural. One woman piped up with "I didn't watch it, but is it true he used a Koran?" We all stared at her with astonishment. "Well, he's a Muslim, and I heard that's what he was going to use." she added.

God God(s)! I have to work with this person!
