I liked his takedown of Huckabee. What I can't stand is him giving airtime to Thomas Fucking Friedman, who gets a pass every time.

$10 says Cornel West accepts a gig on Fox this year. Meanwhile, the King family not only lent the Bible, but asked O to inscribe it for them. <a href="http://www.politico.com/pol..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.politico.com/politico44/2013/01/obama-...">http://www.politico.com/pol...

<i>My mom set up the ancestors section to watch the inauguration.” </i>

OMG OMG OMG.

One of the hare-brained schemes to end slavery before the Civil War was basically to remove the slaves to a colony in the Caribbean or back in Africa. This was seriously considered because white people North and South didn't want freed black people living here. But it didn't work out because the black people who were here as SLAVES, didn't want to leave. They viewed America as their home. Yesterday some of the faith their ancestors had in America as an idea and a place was fulfilled for another four years. The arc of history bent a little more toward justice yesterday.

West is an ass, but I agree with him on this point. Twenty brown school-age kids is probably the weekly score in America, and if Newtown had happened in some crappy 'urban' school, we'd have forgotten all about it by now.

There was a secret ballot after Barack was sworn in today, and we decided to go with 'the Blacks' just to mess with people. Glad I keep up with my dues, hard to get on the newsletter mailing list once you fall off.

Dok, I think you're being unreasonably fair. I don't see a thing in any of those twats that indicates concern about anything except the President's skin color.

Edit: and, I suppose, that school lunches still suck.
