I used to Like Ray Stevens. Fuck That Dude, though. Seriously.
This Wall Street Journal segment discusses the results of a study that investigated how media depictions of college quarterbacks’ performances. A recent study published in the Academic of Management Journal found that media coverage rarely gave African American quarterbacks credit for leadership. When their teams do well, it is because of their natural athletic talent; when they do poorly, it is lack of leadership—blame not equally placed on White quarterbacks when their teams do poorly.

I would tell them to vote for Ron Paul in a match-up with President Obama.
Let me state unequivocally: I abhor Paul’s stances on a woman’s right to choose, welfare, Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare, the Department of Education, the Civil Rights Act, and food stamps. (After all, I’m on food stamps.) The man who’s name is emblazoned on early-’90s newsletters that say utterly reprehensible things like “Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the criminal justice system, I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal,” and “Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5 percent of blacks have sensible political opinions,” is clearly a tangled mass of contradictions for someone like me. Ron Paul is a walking Missouri Compromise. His ideas feed the most fervent ends of the political spectrum, both left and right.
A young African-American who once canvassed for Obama is now firmly in the camp of Ron Paul—despite the doctor’s past racial slurs.
And they wonder why I can’t seem to wrap my brain around their logic.
Jan. 17, 2012: President Obama runs into Michelle unexpectedly on her 48th birthday in the basement of the White House.
Makes you wonder who’s luckier/More Blessed doesn’t it. Even a Political Cynic like me has to smile at that.
