White People More Likely to See Anger in Obama's Expressions.
Really?! He always seems so Zen to me (pasty white person), almost too much so, like he's holding back. There's some truth to the nickname No Drama Obama.
Kinda comforting to know at least i'm not THAT racist (Avenue Q taught us that Everyone's a little bit racist!)

Spoiled Rotten: Star Trek Into Darkness.
It was a good pop-corn flick and I enjoyed the fan-service like Kahn and mention of Section 31. But it was a popcorn flick, and Star Trek isn't supposed to be about putting you into a popcorn coma. Star Trek should make you wonder, amaze you, and make you think in addition to the action. And above all, canon matters in Star Trek. That new time line that was created in the first reboot did not erase the events that happened in Enterprise, nor did it retroactively make Khan a white British guy.
Oh, and if you had watched the other series, it is established that at least one Federation star ship, Voyager, can indeed fly in atmospheres and land on the surface of planets. It's suggested it can go under water, but never said specifically (they jury rigged a shuttle to go underwater in one episode). But this is in the 24th century, not the 23rd, so it is hard to believe.

Democrats Are Racists, Too.
Reminds me of the Peachoid fiasco on House of Cards. I still say the release valve looks like a clit, not an ass hole.

Back in the Game.
For those if you clenching their butts over the use of the rather racist The Mandarine villain character: watch the movie, they did some creative story telling around it.
