I’m lifting this directly from Wonkette, but only because it’s the best thing I’ve ever seen. We will contribute to disemination of Tom Tancredo’s fanatical racist propaganda, you know, because it’s funny.

Yeah. We’ve got the FOX News beat. We watch it so you don’t have to.
This time around, Murdoch wants you to know that FNC has a sense of humor. They’re not just old white men whose taste when it comes to giggles is limited to old “Birth of a Nation” blooper reels. That’s right, folks. Vareity tells us that FOX News wants to take humor back to the streets cul de sacs.
What will have you rolling on the floor, beggin for the legalization of euthanasia? Take a look.
Barack Obama has the same initials as “body odor”? And, HA! Obama and Marion Barry are both black! Cut and print, people!
What do the faithful YouTube trolls have to say? We’ll leave you with the voice of the people.

I laughed more at the holocaust, and my grandparents died in that.
In the Washington Post style section, where the real news is, there is a story about Mississippi’s new ad campaign to try and change the state’s image. It’s writer, a Mississippian named Neely Tucker (not the funniest name ever given to a Mississippian, but we have some anagrams after jump) takes some pot shots at his home state, which, as we have already demonstrated, isn’t really that hard to do.
if you’re a Mississippian and you’re in the departure lounge at LaGuardia, and you’re trying to tell a stranger what’s near where you’re from, you have to go outside the state to give them a clue. Sometimes it seems the rest of the country doesn’t know anything about the poorest state in America except that they never want to go there. Just ask the honorable gentleman from New York, Rep. Charles B. Rangel (D), who wondered aloud to the New York Times a few weeks ago: “Who the hell wants to live in Mississippi?”
Too true Charlie, too true. Yet, not everyone has a choice and some people are born there. And then, after centuries of being the butt of the nation’s jokes (particularly in the states north, south, east and west of the Big Muddy) Mississippi is fighting back. The ads are actually, well, kind of funny. But you can laugh at those jokes on someone else’s time.
We aplogize for the light content load the past couple of days. We have found ourselves in the midst of finals and other, more long-term problems. And so we thought we would direct your attention to New Yorker scribe Malcolm Gladwell’s newest post on the topic of racism. He writes:
Between Michael Richards’ outburst in a comedy nightclub, Mel Gibson’s tirade of a few months back, and Michael Irvin’s musings about Tony Romo’s racial heritage, I’m wondering if we need a clearer definition of what it means to be a racist.
Defining racism seems like quite an undertaking, does it now? But he does it. He actually does it. Hey, Gladwell. How’d you get so fucking smart?
The Culture Warrior cannot believe this is a news item on CNN. Actually, we can. But we don’t like to admit it because we’re blogging it.
Kramer, Kramer, Kramer. Are you Jewish or not? In the latest contrived move to lessen the heat off racist comments, Michael Richards has declared that he is a Chosen Person.
Word is this is in response to claims that he made anti-Semitic comments at a stand up show previous to his impromptu set earlier this month when he
The worst part, the Jews don’t want Richards. Says one Jewish leader:
“There are many people who appreciate Jewish customs, who may embrace aspects of Jewish culture and practice, but that does not make them Jewish,” he said.
Sorry, Michael. Seems like you’re going to have to start hocking copies of that new Seinfeld DVD to pay for your defense team.
