Love Means Never Having To Say You're Sorry

Nancy Pelosi has gone and uttered the three words I've always said I hate the most, "I don’t care." Why are those three little words so friggin' lethal? Because if she don't care, then nobody else has to, either!! Nancy Pelosi got physically attacked today? "I don’t care." Nancy Pelosi got unfairly criticized? "I don’t care." And so on. Once someone decides to go down that road, it is so "ON" that all I can say in return is:

"You better start watching your back, Girl."

Also, I've always said liberals (and NewAgers) never apologize, especially when they're proven wrong - which is a lot - and Andrew Breitbart has noticed the same thing, involving a case I cared passionately about:

"Americans, especially nonblacks, are deeply fearful that [today's racial] dynamic is predicated on an un-American premise: presumed guilt. Innocence, under the extra-constitutional reign of political correctness, liberalism’s brand of soft Shariah law, must be proved ex post facto. Think not? Ask the Duke lacrosse team, which had 88 of the school’s professors sign a petition that presumed their guilt before their side of the story was known. Even though the white athletes were exonerated and the liberal district attorney who pushed the case was dethroned, disbarred and disgraced, the professoriate that assigned guilt to its own students still refuses to apologize."

Heinous. Awful. Disgusting. But - like Nancy Pelosi - y'all don't care. So I think it just might be time for y'all to get the hell out of here and head on back to your regularly scheduled whitewash of all the day's other relevant issues. Half-truths seem to be about as much as your kind can handle.

And yea - after some unmentioned bullshit I had to deal with last week - I've woke up feeling extra-fucking "snippy" today,..

I Can See Through You

"In this country, it seems that you can always get an argument going about "race" as long as it is guaranteed to be phony,...Almost every day brings news of full-dress media-oriented spats about Don Imus, Bob Grant, or the recent nonstory about how some golf show had managed to mention Tiger Woods and the word "lynch" in the same news cycle. The preceding week had involved some trivial but intense parsing of an exchange between Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. But just let the real thing occur, with a full-blooded and full-throated bellow of old-fashioned authentic racism, and youcan see the entire press refusing to cover it for fear of having to confront the real and unvarnished thing."

- Christopher Hitchens, gloriously pointing out the obvious, in Slate

"In South Carolina the Confederate flag is flying right out there in the open and Pitchfork Ben is on display for all to see. But in most other places, the hostility to blacks remains on the down-low. No one wants to deal with it."

Bob Herbert, addressing the same issue, in the New York Times

Over the King Holiday, I'd been thinking about all the recent "race" bullshit a lot, and it strikes me as being just that - so much bullshit:

Don Imus (who I, and many others, like) didn't do anything wrong - and got paid well for it - and then, after losing his job under false pretenses, got his job (and his money) back.

The Duke Lacrosse Team got railroaded by Mike Nifong - and the black community - but nobody's holding the black community (or their white supporters other than Nifong) accountable.

And several recent firings over bogus race charges, mostly addressing Tiger Woods' sensibilities - even after Tiger said he wasn't bothered or affected in any way by the so-called "offenses" - are just wrong and totally over-the-top.

What's interesting about all this is the passionately twisted, liberal thrust of them all:

Someone is trying to prove something here, but, like The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight, the accusers seem incapable of stopping themselves from hitting the wrong guys. Where they imagine racism - or just make it up - somebody (white) must pay. Where real racism exists, the victims can't find a friend.

Why is that?

'Sorry' Seems To Be The Hardest Word

Wow. Whoopie Goldberg can see the Duke Lacrosse Case clearly but not the war in Iraq. Interesting. I guess it has to all be spelled out really simply (like idiotically simply) for right and wrong to make themselves known to some people. Whatever. She's right on this:

The Duke Boys got betrayed by Al Sharpton - and their country.



I'm adding this, above, to show how "intelligent" a so-called "normal" conversation can be these days. Is the War in Iraq wrong? Is alternative medicine bullshit? How can you hope people will understand anything when they're as willingly stupid as the example above? When they rely more on (what they call thier) 'intuition' and 'beliefs' than what we know and have evidence for? I swear:

I'm surrounded by idiots.
