Is Mr. Gumbel nuts or just crazy? Is his observation that of a racist or merely an observer? After all, it is the winter games. There's a load of insensitive remarks one could make regarding race and sports, as well as politics, such as what NAACP's Julian Bond says of the blacks on the President's Cabinet. Who's fault is it Mr. Gumbel, that blacks don't happen to go for skating or skiing, or curling? To liken it to a GOP convention, presumably without the wait staff present (a la Howard Dean) adds a derogatory racial component befitting a bigot. Is that what you are Bryant Gumbel? His quote below.
"Finally, tonight, the Winter Games. Count me among those who don’t care about them and won’t watch them ... Because they’re so trying ... Like, try not to be incredulous when someone attempts to link these games to those of the ancient Greeks who never heard of skating or skiing. So try not to laugh when someone says these are the world’s greatest athletes, despite a paucity of blacks that makes the Winter Games look like a GOP convention. Try not to point out that something’s not really a sport if a pseudo-athlete waits in what’s called a kiss-and-cry area, while some panel of subjective judges decides who won ... So if only to hasten the arrival of the day they’re done, when we can move on to March Madness — for God’s sake, let the games begin."
What was that dream again about character and skin color?

How about this, The Lunch Counter's Ross Calloway, Dr. of Cheesesteakology, calls for the immediate closure of the U.N. Another tumor removed from the geopolitical globe.
UN calls for immediate closure of Guantanamo. The United Nations has called on America to close its detention centre at Guantanamo Bay "without further delay", saying all detainees should be brought to trial or released. [Telegraph News | Breaking News]

"The reason was the tests and the evaluations that they were doing. We wanted to make sure we knew what we were announcing. You need conclusive information." That was the explanation as to why the delay in notifying the media. Sounds reasonable to me. That's why it took overnight and into the next day before Cheney felt they had the facts right about the condition of his hunting partner, Harry Whittington, before notifying the media. But those words (above) weren't exactly Dick Cheney's. Those words are from Sen. Harry Reid's press secretary, Tessa Hafen, explaining why she waited 3 days before notifying the media about Harry Reid's stroke, not his friend's stroke, his stroke. And I don't recall republicans or the media going ballistic over their decision to wait until they knew what they were announcing, like has been going on for 4 days now, and counting.
Reid's stroke was only 6 months ago. They didn't forget, they just don't like the administration and all that they do. Yawn.

Was on Al Franken's website recently, making a response to something in his blog. I got a choice piece of hate mail, not over what I said, but over the signature line I often use. Credits to Ann Coulter because it's one of her great lines. But it brings out the very best in the far left. And I was reminded of one of Al Franken's Hate Mail Of The Day post he did a few weeks ago. The writer's response is to this line: "Liberals can't just come out and say they want to take more of our money, kill babies, and discriminate on the basis of race."
For your information. I am an extreme liberal. I paid $20,000 in personal income tax last year. How much did you pay? Probably nothing you sorry sack of shit. "Kill babies," you mean a fertilized blastocyst which is NOT a baby, but I'm sure you haven't gone to college so you're too stoopid to understand what's at stake. Everyone knows, and it's been shown in a recent study, Republicans are racists so don't give me that discriminate on the basis of race shit because we know you're white and you don't want to compete in the job market with blacks or women. So shut the fuck up racist.
Another government school success story. And probably not a Bush supporter.
