Is Obama the real-world Smiler?

Expressing obnoxious bigotry is NOT funny.

Quiet, you bleeding-heart liberal pantywaist.

Why are you typing when you could be drinking? Life is too short to go through it smart and sober.

I was just reading my school's orientation schedule. It includes a pub crawl.

The choices in the poll present a false dichotomy. Despite that I chose no. He will not and does not aspire to stand comparison to the mystic founder of a major religion. He is not two-dimensional either. He is a breath of fresh air in a very stale standoff between the tweedle-dees and tweedle-dums that have been the nominees of the two parties now for 20 years.

When our company was bought out by a crew across the pond (a London operation), our new CEO was asked to address the troops here and answer questions. One of our black employees asked when we could expect to see more minorities at the upper level of management (since there were currently 0). It's always fun when different cultures get together. Our CEO said that there was already sufficient minority representation at the upper most level since he was Irish. There was dead silence for about 30 seconds. I looked at the person next to me and asked if he had really said that. I though a race riot was going to break out. The VP of personel (once he got over being stunned) leaned over and whispered something into the CEO's ear. THe CEO quickly pretended that his answer had been a joke, but really couldn't pull it off because he really thought that being Irish in London was similar to being black in America.

Racism is the refuge of the weakminded.

Well then, it's a good thing I only pigeonholed you on political affiliation, innit?

Edit: Even better...by calling me a liberal pantywaist, you imply that there are also machismo liberals out there.

How ridiculous. Malt liquor and whisky are two completely different things.

...see, THAT's racism.
