We already knew that Mr. Smiley

We already knew that this will be the “most racist” election ever.

How?

The last election centered on Obama’s inexperience and whatever could be drudged up from his past “experiences”. It included his attitudes towards others, but mostly centered on whether he inspired you or not. Still – anyone who criticized was a racist.

This coming election will center on Obama’s deeds, not just his oration. And there are a lot of deeds and a lot of lies and a lot of attitude out there. Anyone who criticizes will, once again, be labeled a racist. There is a hell of a lot more to criticize this go round hence the “most racist” election ever.

Mr. Smiley? If you think that’s alright, well – I call you a racist. Obviously you believe that the black man can not intellectually deal with criticism. That doesn’t sound very empowering to me.

Fantastic News!

One big ol hearty congratulations to Iraq as they prepare to increase oil production for sale.

Will the US benefit from the difference [in production]? If American oil companies can compete for those leases, they certainly may. But that is a decision for Iraqis, by Iraqis, which is exactly what we had in mind all along.

Good for them! And like Ed notes, this time any increase doesn’t go for a new castle for Sadaam or whatever else he may want. This time…..They’ll decide in the manner they decide.
