tip* if you're the clinton supporter that you make people think you are by writing this article, it's a bad idea to mention the word 'dishonesty' in a political blog/op ed/whatever on a day when the much bigger campaign story that is *not* old old news (as yours was) is hillary clinton concocting an utter fantasy and getting caught with her pants on fire,flaming, smoldering all the way back to chappaqua where she promptly realizes she *should* sell her early nineties headband collection on ebay. seriously, she should.

that prologue aside, the main point of this post is to remind you and everyone who ever thinks, at all, ever, that even when you think what you're saying makes sense, you can't be so sure that you're right. this world is crazy, but not as crazy as it would be if you (plural) actually did know the truth behind the secrets of all others and of the world, as you (spec.) unintentionally do in this article. Some examples:

proposal 1. barack's grams is old and lonely and barack's speech made her sad when she saw it on the telly.

Ans 1. you don't know that. I will give it to you that you checked up to make sure that she lives alone. Does she have a cat? a lot of old women with cats do not consider themselves to be 'living alone.' does she have a caregiver? maybe. barack made over a million dollars last year. let's hope she at least has a housekeeper. and a cat.

Prop 2 See above.

Ans 2. Barack's gma, having so much time on her hands being alone like you say she is and all, happened to read her grandson's first book, 'songs from my father,' in which he says pretty much the exact same thing about her as he did last week. So Barack called her last week, and was like 'what did you think of my speech, grams cracka?" and she was like, "snore, songs from father, why are you always telling the same stories? you didn't even know him. Mahjong" -- ps do non-jewish grandmas play mahjong?

ans 3. just as likely that barack called his grams before he made the speech, to make sure it was ok with her if he said those things, or at least to prepare her for it, or you know, to tell her he loved her, whatever. and she was like 'that's ok' or 'i wish you wouldn't do that,' or 'you're ruining my life' or 'that speech was really important, and even if I were a little sad about it (which I am/am not - choose your own adventure), I'm only one individual person and you reached millions of people in the USA and beyond. also, i do hate black people.'

Prop 1. Black men have it easier in politics.

ans 1. yeah, maybe. uh no dude.

ans 2. I would like to know, for example,at what point in a black politician's career does the 'help' part set on? Before or after the statistically proven disadvantages that greet you at birth?

ans 3. Only if you're running for local office in a predominantly black area. in which case, some or all of your opponents are also black.

Prop 2. Well, maybe it's not true all the time, but it certainly is if you're barack obama.Geraldine utters the truth.

ans. 2. See grandma thread above. lady be white.BHO : just the right amount of white.

Prop 1. Obama could have taken care of this Wright problem, like ,a long time ago.

ans 1. yup. (objective fact)

Prop 2. He didn't cause he sucks (didn't really understand your line of reasoning here, sorry).

ans 2. Maybe he didn't because he received threats. Maybe he didn't because orchestrated this whole scandal/speech thing to make him seem tested before he has to go up alongside mccain. Maybe he didn't do it a long time ago b.c he thought it was crazy to really think that he'd get so far in this race when it would become a big deal, and then it wasn't like he was just going to bring it up out of the blue when that date came. . that would have been motarded. my pick for ans. 2*** maybe he didn't do it because Michelle wouldn't let him. she's sorta scary and maybe a teensy bit reverse racist, actually. But hot.i like your outfits michelle,rock on.
