I'm like the white base drummer in "Drum Line."
Remember him? He said, "I just love black people!"
I think he was one of those rare few: a black person born into a white body, which is why he could drum so well.
My best friend in high school was a white drummer who had really good chops. One day we went to this club in Perth Amboy, where this black band was really cooking, and they let my buddy, Noel, sit in. He did the best he could and they were all smiling at him when the set was done. He made the mistake of saying, "you know, guys, I wish I was black." and they all looked at him like he was crazy.
All my life, it's been like that. In the Army they kicked me and all my black friends out of this MP unit because we didn't fit in. Sent us to infantry to die in Vietnam.
He must be the new Lenin or something like that.
Next thing you know, he'll be quoted as saying, "WHAT IS TO BE DONE?"
I differ with Salon.com much if not most of the time. I even refer to it as saloon.com and stalin.com.
White people are generally clueless about African American sensibilities and this piece takes the cake, focusing on Michelle's nice but irrelevant buttocks.
So, even if these rich limousine liberals don't have the class to apologize, I will apologize for them, because they are too smug and supposedly too hip to apologize for themselves.
You see, they think it is such a big deal that they voted for Barrack and sent him lots of money, that makes them feel entitled to get down like they were funky, and comment on Michelle's fullsome ass-buttocks.
Yes this is horribly racist.
It is.
And. I am sorry for these sorry m.....f's.
Unlike Walter Map, at least I can admit when I am wrong.
What do you think is wrong with that guy anyway?
How about a Michelle booty buns calendar?
They could sell it to help pay the laid off auto workers.
There could be several versions:
-The Christian-Mormon version: $100.00
- The Playboy version: Limited Edition bids start at $1000.00
- The absolute funky wunky nothing left to the imagination version: Only 100 available - private discrete bids only please.
He is not a troll, just an angry drunk
He is the Eleanor Rigby of saloon.com
Sorry, Lotus, this is more saloon than stalin
Walter has drained today's bottle of vodka
He's passed out now
But, he'll be back with his unrequited anger and his nastiness tomorrow
Don't let him bodder you, my fellow open minds
His snark will reappear tomorrow just you wait
At least Eleanor had some reasons to be so desolate and so alone
"I used to love him but now it's not the same!!"
What's his crime?
Consistently facing up to world wide terrorism while supporting all of your pie in the sky entitlements?
At least, hopefully he is reading the helpful posts from Lotus Feet.
I don't understand this big mishigass about him and his father who made some unfortunate comment about Arabs, do you?
He's right, you should find yourself a girlfriend, or a boyfriend, or a puppy (not a cocker spaniel) or whatever turns you on, because, as my Grandmother would have said, you are behaving like "A MISERABLE PERSON."
Did you see the towers fall, Walter?
Did that make you happy?
You remind me of the "New Yorker" cartoon: two old ladies in black standing over a grave. One says to the other "I told him it wouldn't kill him to be nice for once in his life, and I was wrong."
Does that mean you can't take the truth, dear?
It's not what you wish to hear?
Is it the facts that you fear?
Will you cry in your beer?
Speaking truth to power, remember that?
Friedman said the earth is flat
Smug liberals are blind as a bat
Last night in snowed in Philly
Global warming might be silly
Sorry to rain on your parade
Is stalin.com a dull charade?
Are there skunks at your garden party, dear?
It's not the truth that you should fear.
Please do not say a word
In your punchbowl I spot a turd.
French bread!
Certainly, my frem.
There are baguettes galore,
Here,
And brie, and a nice bottle of Rhone
Or Sancerre to wash it down, my dear
Do not go gently
Good morning
Good mooning too
Stay intact
Walter is so smug, he thinks he knows all one could know about our economic problems.
Hey, Walter, how about Jaimie Gorelnick and all the other ex Clintonites, collecting millions doing nothing on the Fannie Mae payroll, Walter?
How about Barnie Frank insisting there be no additional oversight there?
How about ACORN registering make believe and deceased voters, Walter?
How about ACORN intimidating banks to grant mortgages to people who had no credit history, Walter?
How about our crashing markets, Walter? Why are you out of the stock market, Wally? Don't you know Obama will ignite a great prosperity? You don't think this is a market trying to discount all of the anti- corporate bullshit and all the looming taxes and redistribution and pro union legislation, do you, Walt? You don't think this market can't ever find an Obama bottom, do you, Walt?
