Continuing in list form, because I enjoy it:
A) If HH's characterization of Banks and lmwilker's comment are accurate, I don't think she needs anyone's help demonizing herself.
B) I think "evil" is a valid subset of "unflattering". I'll take responsibility for introducing that word though, perhaps it was overkill.
C) No, I don't believe in astrology. Yes, I think an article saying that Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin are pretty funny and Tyra Banks is irritating can be written without being an expression of some conscious or unconscious White Agenda.
D) I hope calling me a racist made you feel good, because it sure didn't help your argument.
E) You *did* guess my race and gender correctly. That was pretty awesome.
A) Being unflattering to a black person is racist? The article made it clear that she thinks Baldwin and Fey are funny, and Banks evil. Horns aren't so inappropriate.
B) I'd be surprised if the writers were responsible for the artwork.

The tools of persuasion and propaganda have reached such a perfect science, that given two well funded parties and competent candidates, the results will more and more be a virtual tie.
From the interview:
You'd be sitting at this coffee shop with a guy talking to himself. This schizophrenic would just be going on -- very intelligently -- about this or that
That pretty much sums up the first half of Waking Life, doesn't it?
