— The president of a Pennsylvania-based amusement company apologized Wednesday for a target shooting game depicting the image of a black man who appears to be President Obama.
The game depicted a black man dressed in a suit holding a rolled-up piece of paper labeled, “Health Bill.” The man also sported a belt buckle fashioned after the presidential seal. Participants shot darts at targets, located on his head and heart, to score points and win a stuffed-animal prize.

Jesus loves me, this I know.
Black man with health bill…. not so much.
But I’m sure this can in no way be “racist”. They just had a surplus of African American Brown paint they needed to use. Happens all the time.

Kagan Confirmed For Supreme Court
Elena Kagan was elevated to SCOTUS today, with 5 Republicans voting for confirmation and 36 voting against. Although the vote was not rigidly along party lines, the GOP continues to demonstrate that obstructionism is the only talent most of its politicians have.
A group of influential conservative members of the behemoth social media site Digg.com have just been caught red-handed in a widespread campaign of censorship, having multiple accounts, upvote padding, and deliberately trying to ban progressives. An undercover investigation has exposed this effort, which has been in action for more than one year.

Our Church is sponsoring a group of 10 Inner-city Chicago kids & their Pastor/Chaperones to spend the week here doing a Service Project, fellowship, Bible Study and lots of fun.
This is year 9.
How many of you KLOWNS have had 2 or more Inner-City Black kids spend 2 or more nights in your home???
Just as I thought…ZERO!
They have been on a 2-day Yellowstone River Fishing Trip. Get back tonight. On Saturday, we hike one of the local Peaks and have an all-church picnic with the annual 2 out of 3 Basketball Game. It’s absolutely brutal. We had 2 guys get concussions, a broken nose and sprained ankle last year…but we barely won. Sunday after Church we take the kids on a float trip down the Madison River. It’s supposed to be 86 degrees & sunny.
We pay for everything…including plane tickets. It’s a life-changing trip according to some of the kids who came 9 years ago.
I benefit more in some ways than they do. The kids are kind of shy at first…but eventually open up. Almost all have no father at home and probably half don’t know who their father is. They appreciate that folks far away care about them and they grow in their appreciation that they do have a Father they can always count on….God, their Father in Heaven.
Anyway, I would encourage you do-gooders who want others or the government to do your do-gooding…get off your asses and actually do something meaningful with your excessive time.
You won’t regret it.
And PS–No need to be afraid of Black folks.

Thursday, August 05, 2010
Nearly half the nation’s voters (46%) believe the situation in Afghanistan will get worse in the next six months, the highest level of pessimism since January.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 23% expect the situation in Afghanistan to get better in the next six months, while roughly the same number (22%) say it will remain about the same.
Only 23% think ObaMao is capable of making things better. The same 23% who strongly approve of him no matter what he fumbles.

Our troll often posts weird whack-a-doodle WINGNUT nonsense, but despite his angry ill informed zinger at the end, the intentions and actions of his group’s charity is centuries old now.
In 2010 there are still many that see a solution or a remediation to minority poverty to be taking children from their homes for a short time, and then when the charitable action is complete to continue to rail for policies that shall continue to leave minority children (and adults) in untenable economic situations in well defined ghettos (i.e. inner city).
Mr. Cynical, I am glad you and your group are making the effort to help those who have been systematically oppressed and economically disadvantaged for centuries in the USA, even if it is only for a short period of time. The trip sounds like an awesome experience.
But maybe in 2010 it is time to question why it is still necessary for predominantly white middle class people to rescue inner city black youth, year in and year out.

I’ve done a few inner city outings trips with the Sierra Club. Sierra has a big ICO program. There are lot of programs run by folks on the left that do what you’re doing or things like developing community gardens. We’re nature nature lovers after all!
Rather than facing up to the simple facts that pervasive racism still exists, and that centuries of slavery followed by decades of systemic racial preference result in enduring disadvantages that can’t be fixed by “leveling the playing field”, the enlightened middle class conservative has been won over to the theory of “cultural and social deprivation”.
You see, it’s much cleaner and easier to believe that white folks are better off because their moms and dads bought a set of encyclopedias and subscribed to the newspaper, than to accept that it is the result of a system of racial preference that persists.
That way all you have to do to break the cycle is take a kid to the museum or a Shakespeare performance or some other shit. Sure, he’ll still grow up poor. But after the “culturally uplifting” experience of a three hour snowboarding lesson he won’t resort to slinging crack. Or in the event that the magic field trip doesn’t take, fuckers like Cyn can tell themselves the kid deserves a life behind bars, and go about their business with a clear conscience.
Death penalty, three-strikes, etc.

Re 30 and 24
Slavery was legal in the United States as a country for just under a century. It was practiced in the geographical United States for around 2 centuries. All of which ended in 1862.
Slavery has been illegal by specific Constitutional mandate for 148 years.
Yes racism persists. Yes ignorant fools with nothing to their credit will find others to blame for their problems. But at what point do we stop paying penance for the mistakes of our great great great grandfathers? Is there any time in which the stain of slavery is considered past in your view? 200 years? 400?
Yes racism exists but it doesn’t define the targets of it unless they choose to accept the definition.

So tell me-
How does lowering college admissions standards help minority students succeed? How does the resulting anger students who were denied admission with higher testing help reduce racism? How does the inability of the fraudulently admitted student to succeed at college help him or her?
How does forcing unqualified job applicants to be hired help them succeed at jobs? How does it increase the esteem their co-workers have for them as useful members of the team?
See, the quick fix is attractive. It looks good on paper. But it doesn’t work.
37
Don Joespews:
@32
“Yes racism persists.”
No shit. Right now, the Federal government owes black farmers some $1.15 billion (the “b” is not a typo) as part of a legal settlement for racial discrimination on the part of the USDA. Not racial discrimination from more than a century ago, but racial discrimination that began when the Reagan administration dismantled the USDA’s civil rights division.
Democrats keep trying to add the appropriations for that settlement to various bills, and Republicans keep filibustering those bills until the appropriating amendments are removed from the bills.
That is the very definition of racism. And it exists today. In Today’s Congress. Perpetrated by the Republicans who are currently in the Senate. Now.

@36 lostinaseaofblue on 08/05/2010 at 7:15 pm,
Forgive me for assuming you might understand econ 101.
I’m not advocating any quick fix, but if you are interested in improving education and educational opportunities for all students regardless or race, ethnic heritage, religion or economic history your problem of admission is solved with increasing the number of slots available, not modifying standards to provide access to an irrational quantity of slots.
The for-profit approach to expanding education is working very well for the businesses, not so much for students.

No, it is by eliminating university education as a trade school and letting it get back to the business of, well, educating students.
70% of students in college don’t need it. They could readily program a computer or wire a home without reading Sartre or Keynes or understanding Calculus. They could man the phone at the bank or perform book-keeping without reference to the work of Crick and Watson or a Until fairly recently a college education wasn’t needed for an attorney. Yes careers exist for which the broader approach to life that a good education helps make possible are needed. But most students don’t fit that category.
Re-establish higher education as the place where gifted minds go to recieve what the larger population neither wants nor needs and gifted minds of whatever background will go there.

I think you have exactly zero knowledge of what it takes to be a good computer programmer, and that lack of knowledge completely undercuts the rest of your argument.
The point of studying Sartre or Keynes of Friedman for that matter, is to develop the intellectual skills, analytical thinking skills, that are necessary for a high level of professional work.
People can learn what Satre write by reading Satre. They can learn what Keynes and Friedman wrote by reading Keynes and Friedman. They will not, however, learn the methodologies that underly the thinking. They will not learn how to craft a coherent argument. Both of these are important in a large number of professions, which is why the vast majority of job openings list a college degree, as opposed to an associate degree, as a minimum requirement.

Michelle ObaMao gives a big F-U to all unemployed Americans. How come Black America isn’t offended by this outrageous waste of taxpayer money. Oh yeah, ObaMao says she is paying her personal expenses. Big deal. It’s only a tiny part of the total cost.
Yet the bigger public furor concerns the cost and appearance of the trip. In a scathing editorial published Thursday, New York Daily News writer Andrea Tantaros trashed Michelle Obama as a “modern day Marie Antoinette” for taking such a glitzy vacation while most of the country is struggling to make ends meet.The Obama entourage is staying at the luxury Hotel Villa Padierna, a Ritz-Carlton property often described as one of the world’s top 10 hotels. Rates range between $500 and $2,500 a night.
ObaMao’s are out of touch with the real Americans they pretend to fight for.

This is year 9.
How many of you KLOWNS have had 2 or more Inner-City Black kids spend 2 or more nights in your home???
Just as I thought…ZERO!
They have been on a 2-day Yellowstone River Fishing Trip. Get back tonight. On Saturday, we hike one of the local Peaks and have an all-church picnic with the annual 2 out of 3 Basketball Game. It’s absolutely brutal. We had 2 guys get concussions, a broken nose and sprained ankle last year…but we barely won. Sunday after Church we take the kids on a float trip down the Madison River. It’s supposed to be 86 degrees & sunny.
We pay for everything…including plane tickets. It’s a life-changing trip according to some of the kids who came 9 years ago.
I benefit more in some ways than they do. The kids are kind of shy at first…but eventually open up. Almost all have no father at home and probably half don’t know who their father is. They appreciate that folks far away care about them and they grow in their appreciation that they do have a Father they can always count on….God, their Father in Heaven.
Anyway, I would encourage you do-gooders who want others or the government to do your do-gooding…get off your asses and actually do something meaningful with your excessive time.

Our troll often posts weird whack-a-doodle WINGNUT nonsense, but despite his angry ill informed zinger at the end, the intentions and actions of his group’s charity is centuries old now.
In 2010 there are still many that see a solution or a remediation to minority poverty to be taking children from their homes for a short time, and then when the charitable action is complete to continue to rail for policies that shall continue to leave minority children (and adults) in untenable economic situations in well defined ghettos (i.e. inner city).
Mr. Cynical, I am glad you and your group are making the effort to help those who have been systematically oppressed and economically disadvantaged for centuries in the USA, even if it is only for a short period of time. The trip sounds like an awesome experience.
But maybe in 2010 it is time to question why it is still necessary for predominantly white middle class people to rescue inner city black youth, year in and year out.

MikeBoyScout,
sadly, the dementia goes much deeper than that.
Rather than facing up to the simple facts that pervasive racism still exists, and that centuries of slavery followed by decades of systemic racial preference result in enduring disadvantages that can’t be fixed by “leveling the playing field”, the enlightened middle class conservative has been won over to the theory of “cultural and social deprivation”.
You see, it’s much cleaner and easier to believe that white folks are better off because their moms and dads bought a set of encyclopedias and subscribed to the newspaper, than to accept that it is the result of a system of racial preference that persists.
That way all you have to do to break the cycle is take a kid to the museum or a Shakespeare performance or some other shit. Sure, he’ll still grow up poor. But after the “culturally uplifting” experience of a three hour snowboarding lesson he won’t resort to slinging crack. Or in the event that the magic field trip doesn’t take, fuckers like Cyn can tell themselves the kid deserves a life behind bars, and go about their business with a clear conscience.
Death penalty, three-strikes, etc.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Steve spews:
How fucking pathetic. He pulls these kids out of the ghetto to tell them how Baby Jesus says it’s important to give tax cuts to rich people. heh- Then he sends them back to the ghetto.

Slavery was legal in the United States as a country for just under a century. It was practiced in the geographical United States for around 2 centuries. All of which ended in 1862.
Slavery has been illegal by specific Constitutional mandate for 148 years.
Yes racism persists. Yes ignorant fools with nothing to their credit will find others to blame for their problems. But at what point do we stop paying penance for the mistakes of our great great great grandfathers? Is there any time in which the stain of slavery is considered past in your view? 200 years? 400?

How does lowering college admissions standards help minority students succeed? How does the resulting anger students who were denied admission with higher testing help reduce racism? How does the inability of the fraudulently admitted student to succeed at college help him or her?
How does forcing unqualified job applicants to be hired help them succeed at jobs? How does it increase the esteem their co-workers have for them as useful members of the team?
See, the quick fix is attractive. It looks good on paper. But it doesn’t work.
Don Joe spews:
@32
“Yes racism persists.”
No shit. Right now, the Federal government owes black farmers some $1.15 billion (the “b” is not a typo) as part of a legal settlement for racial discrimination on the part of the USDA. Not racial discrimination from more than a century ago, but racial discrimination that began when the Reagan administration dismantled the USDA’s civil rights division.
Democrats keep trying to add the appropriations for that settlement to various bills, and Republicans keep filibustering those bills until the appropriating amendments are removed from the bills.
That is the very definition of racism. And it exists today. In Today’s Congress. Perpetrated by the Republicans who are currently in the Senate. Now.
MikeBoyScout spews:

Forgive me for assuming you might understand econ 101.
I’m not advocating any quick fix, but if you are interested in improving education and educational opportunities for all students regardless or race, ethnic heritage, religion or economic history your problem of admission is solved with increasing the number of slots available, not modifying standards to provide access to an irrational quantity of slots.
The for-profit approach to expanding education is working very well for the businesses, not so much for students.

I think you have exactly zero knowledge of what it takes to be a good computer programmer, and that lack of knowledge completely undercuts the rest of your argument.
The point of studying Sartre or Keynes of Friedman for that matter, is to develop the intellectual skills, analytical thinking skills, that are necessary for a high level of professional work.
People can learn what Satre write by reading Satre. They can learn what Keynes and Friedman wrote by reading Keynes and Friedman. They will not, however, learn the methodologies that underly the thinking. They will not learn how to craft a coherent argument. Both of these are important in a large number of professions, which is why the vast majority of job openings list a college degree, as opposed to an associate degree, as a minimum requirement.

Here is a real critical thinker sj–
Took $250,000 of student loans and grew it to $550,000 by not paying and failing to communicate with the lender…and she’s a doctor!

Google Student Loan Deferral–255,000 hits.

The interest continues to accumulate!
Something today’s “critical thinkers” fail to understand.
The Default Rate is one thing.
However, it does not include those currently on “Deferrals”. I tried to find some stats on deferral %’s. No luck.
Deferrals are easy.
A classmate of my son has had his master’s for over 2 years…been working & skiing…and has yet to make a payment on his $80,000 & growing loan.
Real Critical Thinker.
He is not planning to ever pay.
Expects ObaMao to cancel all student loans.
Mr. Cynical spews:
Michelle ObaMao gives a big F-U to all unemployed Americans. How come Black America isn’t offended by this outrageous waste of taxpayer money. Oh yeah, ObaMao says she is paying her personal expenses. Big deal. It’s only a tiny part of the total cost.
ObaMao’s are out of touch with the real Americans they pretend to fight for.

Here is a good Muslim joke.
I hope you enjoy it-
Two Muslim mothers are comparing notes.
The older of the Muslim mothers pulls out her bag and starts
flipping through family photos and reminiscing.
“This is my oldest son, Mohamed. He would have been 24 now.”
The other mother replies, “Yes, I remember him as a baby.”
The first mother says, “He’s a martyr now.”
“Oh… That’s so sad, my dear..”
Then the first mother flips to another picture. “And this is
my second son, Abdul. He would be 21.”
“Oh, I remember him. He had such curly hair when he was born.”
The first mother sighs, “He’s also a martyr.”
“Oh gracious me!! ” says the second mother.
And this… this is my third son. My beautiful Ahmed! He would
be 18 this year.”
“Why, yes,” says her friend enthusiastically, “I remember when
he first started school!”
“He’s also a martyr,” the first mother says. She sobs, her
eyes fill with tears.
After a pause and a deep sigh, the second Muslim mother looks
wistfully at the photos, gently lays her hand on the first
woman’s shoulder and says:
“They blow up so fast, don’t they?”
