There are plenty of things that one may disagree with about Limbaugh, but he simply does not make racist statements. He does talk about the media view of race, and therefore mentions it now and then, but he is talking about the media, not about race.

Surprised that Balko would link to such drivel.

When it comes to women, maybe Tiger’s Dutch gene is expressing itself.

Ecuador’s not so bad. Ecuador’s a lot nicer than a lot of places in America.

Sheriff Joe likes to dress men in pink underwear so I’m guessing a call girl won’t tempt him much.

“Both ends at once? What a player!”

If you don’t recognize the quote, get a copy of Unintended Consequences.

This is nothing new. That’s the way it’s been for democrats and republicans for decades. For what it’s worth, that just happens to be the way it is between many countries, religions, ethnicities, gangs, etc. The idea of making things better, even for themselves or their constituency got lost.

If I was really concerned (and I was a county supervisor) about Joe Arpaio and his cohort Andrew Thomas I would begin by announcing that plans for the new court palace will be delayed for 1 full year (or 2) so that all the accusations can be properly addressed.

For the record, I consider us all to be “mixed race”, yet at the same time reject the idea that there’s more than one race: the human race.

Precisely. There is only the human RACE. Black, Asian, Indian, etc. are all ethnicities.

Getting into better shape was a good start, but you’re going to need a better rack.

I’d go a little further.

Beyond those directly involved, who on earth should care?

Just another jock with his fly open.

Details at eleven.

That rule was quite rightly denounced by those seeking equal civil rights for all people. So it seems strange to me that celebrities of mixed race somehow must be “black”.

For the record, I consider us all to be “mixed race”, yet at the same time reject the idea that there’s more than one race: the human race.

I can’t believe that this is even being rehashed in 2009. Tiger Woods is not a black man and has emphatically stated such for many many years now. His mother is Thai, and his father is half-black and half-white. Tiger is no more “black” than he is “white”.

“(I know the Hitler thing is not entirely true, but what the hell)”

In 1925, Paul von Hindenburg was elected the second President of Germany. Though 84 years old and in poor health, Hindenburg was persuaded to run for re-election in 1932 as he was considered the only candidate who could defeat Adolf Hitler.

Hindenburg was re-elected in a runoff but nonetheless played an important role in the Nazi Party’s rise to power, dissolving parliament twice in 1932 and eventually appointing Hitler as Chancellor in January 1933.

In February, he issued the Reichstag Fire Decree which suspended various civil liberties, and in March he signed the Enabling Act, in which parliament gave Hitler’s administration legislative powers.

Hindenburg died the following year, after which Hitler declared the office of President vacant and, as “Führer und Reichskanzler”, made himself head of state.

As you say – “What the hell…”
