Burning Questions

By DF on Fri, 11/28/2008 - 3:52pm | Potpourri

Not to steal any of the Dead One's thunder, but I'm going to do my own thing here with some questions that are on my mind. There won't be ten of them, but rather the exact number that are on my mind at the time. I also don't expect any answers. Consider them rhetorical if you wish or offer your thoughts. It's up to you. Here goes.

Blaming Blacks

By DF on Thu, 11/13/2008 - 7:00pm | Politics

Many of you out there share my disappointment in California's approval of Proposition 8. However, over the last week I've heard too many voices, even those rising from prominent gay communities like the Castro district, that have been far too quick to blame black voters for the proposition's passage. The evidence being offered here, we are told, comes from exit polls. How solid is this data? As it turns out, not very.

Today, I voted for a baby-killing, crypto-muslim, socialist, arugula-munching, elitist, black radical activist.

And it felt good. It felt damned good.
