Finally, I want to say a word about the basic decency I have seen in Mr. Obama. Mrs. Clinton continues to throw the Rev. Wright up in his face as part of her mission to keep stoking the fears of White America. Every time she does this I shout at the TV, “Say it, Obama! Say that when she and her husband were having marital difficulties regarding Monica Lewinsky, who did she and Bill bring to the White House for ‘spiritual counseling?’ THE REVEREND JEREMIAH WRIGHT!“
But no, Obama won’t throw that at her. It wouldn’t be right. It wouldn’t be decent. She’s been through enough hurt. And so he remains silent and takes the mud she throws in his face.

Natalise’s Satire
In her video “China Doll,” Natalise portraits an Asian girl with all the stereotypical characteristics including heavy accents, horrible driving skills, nerdy and nail worker. What makes the video works is that she has done a clever job of pulling off the satires. Dig the witty lyrics too:
Don’t fuck with me; I gotta mind like a computer
I work a double shift; I could be your tutor.
Hey you got chopstix fever
Hey I ain’t no pleaser
Now hey no ornamental teaser
Nas’ New Joint
They like to strangle niggers, blaming niggers, shooting niggers, hanging niggers. Still you want to be a nigger too?
As always, Nas has never been afraid to speak his mind. “Chink nigger,” word!
Worked Over and Overworked
From Steven Greenhouse’s The Big Squeeze: Tough Times for the American Worker:
At a Koch Foods poultry plant in Tennessee, the managers were so intent on keeping the line running all out that Antonia Lopez Paz and the other workers who carved off chicken tenders were ordered not to go to the bathroom except during their lunch and coffee breaks. When one desperate woman asked permission to go, her supervisor took off his hard hat and said, “You can go to the bathroom in this.” Some women ended up soiling themselves.
That is insane.
Ads On Meth
Montana Meth Project’s ads featured strong graphical messages including “15 bucks for sex isn’t normal. But on meth it is.”
Say No to Meth
Before and after faces of meth. Damn!
