I have been reading, on different Internet sites, a lot of the breathless and 
reactionary commentary to the Sarah Palin deal.  Most of the commentary just 
shows the lack of rational thinking on the part of the so called educated 
class in our  centers of 'culture'.  Much hyperbole and poor writing.

  But; this guy writes
well.  And, although I don't think he necessarily meant to be funny, I was  
laughing my butt off before I finished the short article entitled  
"Transformative, My Black Ass".  He is a very liberal activist and supporter 
of Senator Obama.  .

I'll quote one of my favorite parts and then show the link to the article.  
My only comment is that humor will find a more appreciative audience than 
shrillness--every time.........bob ford


"Well, by choosing the whitest woman in the world for a VP, a woman whose 
teenaged daughter’s baby daddy called himself a “fucking redneck,” Karl 
Rove’s minions have effectively put a stake in that strategy’s heart.  The 
goal and effect of naming Sarah Palin was to put a bone through Obama’s nose. 
 He has never seemed blacker.  And as a result of his own longstanding 
campaign strategy, which has not adjusted to the Palin pick, he has never 
seemed less significant. "
