Obama Is...

Halfrican American

RUSH LIMBAUGH: Hey, Barack Obama has picked up another endorsement: Halfrican American actress Halle Berry. "As a Halfrican American, I am honored to have Ms. Berry's support, as well as the support of other Halfrican Americans," Obama said.

He didn't say it, but -- anyway, there are those out there -- greetings.

Black Baby Jesus

Coulter, showed her appreciation for [GREG]Gutfeld with her hair toss come on and uproarious laughter especially after he called Obama "black baby Jesus"

Oreo

[Obama] "fits the stereotype blacks once labeled as an Oreo -- a black on the outside, a white on the inside"--John McLaughlin



Barack the Magic Negro

"Rush Limbaugh has angered many black employees over this parody song called "Barack the Magic Negro" This isn't the first or the last time that Limbaugh will go after Oba,a's race."


Afro-Leninist

it's going to be very doubtful as to whether or not we can avoid outright Marxism and Afro-Leninism running this country. You understand that, or don't you?--Michael Savage



Steamy Crap Sandwich

You've made up your mind and because you lost your job, you'll be just like Obama, growing up African-American and biracial. And so you let that stuff take you -- take the negativity, take you negative, and you go negative. And so you're going to vote not for something, you're voting against something. ...Let me tell you something, Obama is that stinking crap sandwich. He is a fraud.--Chris Krok



"You don't know what Barack Obama stands for. You just like him because he's -- he's -- he's like you and you want to see one of you up there." --John Gibson


"If [Sen.] Barack Obama were Caucasian, they would have taken this guy out on the basis of pure ignorance long ago." --Rush Limbaugh

"It is clear that Senator Obama has disowned his white half, that he's decided he's got to go all in on the black side."--Rush Limbaugh (Yeah, again.)

And finally...

[Obama] "can't point to a single instance in which President Bush or [Sen. John] McCain or [former White House senior adviser] Karl Rove or Sean Hannity or talk radio or any other major Republican has made an issue of Obama's race." --Sean Hannity

Newshounds covers another "Hillary supporter" for McCain.

I looked her up and found she also has a history as a supporter of Thomas Jefferson's decedents. The white ones, that is. And yes, she pretended to be an elderly black woman online as part of her effort.

My post is here.

Meme, Meme, Meme...

First, this classic bit from Red Dwarf:

Toaster: Howdy doodly do. How's it going? I'm Talkie, Talkie Toaster, your chirpy breakfast companion. Talkie's the name, toasting's the game. Anyone like any toast?
Lister: Look, I don't want any toast, and he doesn't want any toast. In fact, no one around here wants any toast. Not now, not ever. No toast.
Toaster: How 'bout a muffin?
Lister: Or muffins. Or muffins. We don't like muffins around here. We want no muffins, no toast, no teacakes, no buns, baps, baguettes or bagels, no croissants, no crumpets, no pancakes, no potato cakes and no hot-cross buns and definitely no smegging flapjacks.
Toaster: Aah, so you're a waffle man.


Compare & contrast with this all-too-classic journalism from Fox News:

"We have these huge stories going on like the one you're reporting in Georgia where you have both candidates, McCain and Obama, taking positions that the American public wants to know more about," Erbe said.

"You know," Jarrett responded, "his excuse for lying is absolutely stunning. He claims he denied the affair because the reporting by the National Enquirer was '99% wrong.' Well, so far, they've been about 100% right.

They were right about the affair, the pregnancy, the recent Beverly Hills late-at-night liaison, and what appears to be hush money that was paid to her. And until he takes a paternity test, he might still be lying, right?"

"He might be," Erbe responded, "and, Greg, let him go on Maury Povich and talk about it. They'll get great ratings. But the American public have told pollsters [that] this political season, they want substance. Both these candidates have expressed support for allowing Georgia into NATO, for example. We are bound by treaty to attack anybody who attacks a NATO member. We could have been on the verge of nuclear war. Those are the kinds of things that the American public want to see discussed."

"Right," Jarrett said. "You know, but getting back to Edwards..."

Proving There's No Such Thing as Racism (of Whites Against Blacks, That Is)

Sean Hannity (via Newshounds):

“America has corrected wrongs and injustices and is ready for a black president. If Barack Obama wins, would that prove my point that I have made often, on this show, that 90% of Americans are not racist. 90% of Americans have no antipathy and judge people by the content of their character. Would his (Obama’s) victory or the fact that he did very well, would that prove my point?”

White supremacists hope Obama win prompts backlash

They're not exactly rooting for Barack Obama, but prominent white supremacists anticipate a boost to their cause if he becomes the first black president. His election, they say, would trigger a backlash - whites rising up, a revolution of sorts - that they think is long overdue.

Recycling

My town of Everett has a new recycling program, and there's a story about it here.

I have to say, the biggest relief is being able to mix the paper recycling with the cans, glass, and plastic. Before I had to tie the stuff together with twine, which was nearly impossible, or stuff them into paper bags, which was no picnic either. The stuffing wasn't fun, but getting the paper bags was really difficult, as no store gives them out anymore without being asked.

Still, it's been better for me personally than it was in Somerville. In my Winter Hill place, the recycle people would never come to my alley, which I realized when I stayed home one day and saw the garbagemen throw my sorted recycling into the garbage truck. I was reluctant to take the bin up to the corner for fear of having them stolen. It didn't matter anyway, as someone stole it anyway.

Highland Avenue was even worse. We were over a row of stores, and people would regularly toss garbage into them. And the bin disappeared on a semiweekly basis.

I couldn't care less about the "rewards" program which gives you coupons depending on how many pounds you recycle, but it seems to be having an effect with people who wouldn't otherwise care.

Now if I could only convince my wife that cardboard coffee cans with metal bottoms can't be recycled, and that plastic cups can be...
