Anyway, for some reason I have a compulsion to buy some more guns and many more thousands of rounds of ammunition lately. :hmm:

Did you see a kid with skittles in the neighborhood recently?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Didn't you ever watch Reefer Madness?  Marijuana (which was named by MEXICANS!) makes you mad, bad, and dangerous to know! :o

Indeed.  MJ even comes in a special bag (clearly identified as a "marijuana baggie" even when empty) that is only carried by the most depraved of people.

Noticed a lot of conservatives bringing the Duke LaCrosse thing up.  Seeing the "Black agenda" thwarted must have been a day to remember amongst conservatives.

Which begs the question of why only conservatives bring it up.

Maybe they don't like black people?

Exactly my point.  Why is antipathy towards blacks (or as DGuller would say, "the blacks") a necessary precondition to be bothered by a prosecutor trying to railroad a conviction and Al triumphantly throwing down the racism card?

That doesnt matter. What is the news calling him? I havent really followed this.

I saw Reuters call him "white-hispanic" in a recent article.  I don't think I've ever seen that until this particular story.
