You know, I'm ashamed

That anyone in this country can fail to appreciate how much of what Rush Limbaugh says is utter bullshit.

Yeah, sure, Rush, we should go back to segregating buses. The one with you on it will be segregated right out of town.

Man, he doesn't usually manage to get under my skin, mainly because I don't ever listen to him most of the time, but "ignore the crazies" is just not working in this country, and it's kind of scary sometimes.

While waiting in the optometrist's office, I read an article in the Philadelphia Trumpet about racial tensions. It says to avoid them is to ignore them and Obama is to blame because he publicly asks for better. It also says God sent the flood of Noah because of inter-racial marriage. I was so mad I couldn't see straight. Oh wait... that was the dilating eye drops. But still I was mad.

I came to this article through Felix Salmon's twitter. I'm not really sure how I feel about it (it's not really related to the above other than it's about race relations). I think he makes some good points but at the same time the whole thing sometimes comes across to me as a "Hey look how many black friends I have" kind of thing.

I'm curious as to your opinion of it.
