I'm sorry, but:
people actually put their filthy bare hands into the cascading brown waterfall
just sounds... ick.

I normally don't advocate violence, but if someone could take care of this waste product, I think that everyone outside of the population of brain-dead teenage girls in this country would celebrate you as a national hero.

@22: Pseudo-intellectualism isn't fun if you break character, Mr. Mudede.
@25: Just ask any immigrant to Switzerland, where at one point in some cantons your application had to come up for a local vote, and could actually be denied by your neighbors. My guess is that Slavic, African and Middle Eastern names weren't an advantage in that process.

@9: Russians and Ukrainians are CRAZY racist (and homophobic!), in ways that aren't even funny. I'm guessing that if you know Russian really, really well, Russian media coverage of Obama would be a very interesting thing to study.
We may get fixated on our notions of active and passive racism in this country, but to tell you the truth, it's far, far worse outside of Canada and the United States. When you have entire countries with a national history and culture characterized specifically by their ethnicity, it's a hard thing to incorporate folks that are quite different from you.
But Charles, if you say that Africans are the "first humans", what does that really imply? Are you internalizing hate towards Africans by stating that the rest of the world has moved on while Africans remain as they were thousands or millions of years ago? Are they "yesterday's model"? Or are you asserting that Africans are first and best because they simply have the most experience as an ethnic group than others? If we order things as opposed to categorizing them, we're admitting that one group possesses more of some latent factor than another, but as someone suggested above, we are all related. All of us have roughly the same number of ancestors whether African or Caucasian or Asian or whatever, meaning that we're all pretty much in the same place in line, and none of us are really "first".

1. I can't help but be reminded of the old joke where Soviet Communists use slavery in the American South as a defense for any criticism of their country. You could go down the list of bad things that Muslim countries do, and you'd probably be right with most of them... but it doesn't absolve the Israeli government of certain responsibilities to folks in the Occupied Territories.
2. Sure! Israel isn't getting away with building a "security fence" that favors settlers that steal land away from Palestinians over some hard-working folks that are actually trying to make a living in the West Bank.
3. The Palestinians are not Hamas, but apparently are treated as such by you. And given that Israeli politics tends to be shaped by whackjob political parties that seem intent on stealing Palestinian land and referring to Palestinians as a "cancer" and 'lice", (See http://www.csmonitor.com/2002/1010/p06s0… for a wonderful example.)
4. It's downright amusing that you pretty much just proved Cato and Zoro's thesis...

@2: My take is that most of "Real America" has an inferiority complex.
And the "Miss America Pageant"? WTF? Seriously? Just beat off to porn at home... it's faster and cheaper.

I hope his campaign staff never work in this town again. His re-election bid was truly amazing in its awfulness.
But yeah... at this point, if he comes from behind, they'll be accused of vote fixing. That's not quite a great start to a fall campaign.

@17: Or Nick Licata. Or maybe even Al Runte!
I think that Nickels lost in part because he had a piss-poor reelection campaign. As a result, I hope Sandeep Kaushik is run out of the local political scene on a rail.
