if it sounds like exactly what they -should- be doing, is it still parody?

I love Newsish Fakery!

I know, this sounds like a practical idea. I was getting real excited while reading the first paragraph,then I thought " Frank must be foolin' me, dang!"

When we take over congress, can this be one of our first issues on the agenda...please?

I still can't believe any self-respecting black person would want affirmative action.

Martin Luther King was a Republican for a reason. If he read your post today, Harvey, I think he'd applaud and agree with you and PammyV.

The codification of the permanent victim class. How long before we hear "press one for ebonics"

"Slavery of the soul is far more deady than mere physical servitude" a famous quote made up by me.

Perfect story. Too bad some republican doesn't apologise for this. You see that a lot of high achievers in the Republican Party. You have to be the a Mensa member/Provost Marshal of Stanford, or a General that came up with a brilliant policy of laying opposing Army's to waste as national policy, or Self starting Entrepreneur from a very economically depressed part of Oklahoma to make Republican Standards. No quotas there, as it should be.

A neighbor of mine with the unlikely name of Kenyatta ( black ) once told me she thanks her lucky stars one of her ancestors was brought over here for slavery as she sure as shite would not like to be stuck in Africa..... its a direct quotish paraphrase of what she said. Unfortunately the rest show gratitude typical of humans who always want more more more.

Oh, sorry Harvey, confusing your post for Frank's....note to self: read the line between the headline and text!

And aren't quotas something the socialists like?

I swear, if only the lot of us could be senators for a term, fix this country and get on with our lives. Heck, we'd only need a year cuz there would be only practical solutions, no whining, and no time spent on media interviews, etc. We'd just send out a press release every couple hours because we'd have another great solution.

We could let Vermont seceed from the country then if we had any problem people protesting, they could just move there. I was going to let them have California, but the economy is too big and I do like the movies..so they can have Vermont, I'm sure we can find syrup somewhere else.

Not to mention the oil.

Come to think of it, I like the sound of an illegal war for oil and maple syrup.

Could you rephrase that? I have no clue what the hell you are trying to say. I would probably agree with the point, if I could figure out what the point was.

In November, vote NO on Congress and President. That'll show 'em!

No Problem Echo5a,

The point was comparing Black Republicans to Black Democrats. I am usualy impressed with the histories and background of those in the Republican Party Vs. the Democrats.

The Republicans I was refering to were Collin Powel, Condi, And J.C Watts. (I'm biased for Watts be cause he's from the the same area I'm origionaly from. His home town is on the other side of Lake Eufalla from where I was born.)

When I think Black Democrat I think more of Cynthia McKenny. I know thats fair to women, Blacks, Democrats, Americans, Other Humans.

I know there are some other impressive Black democrats out there. I am impressed that Jesse Jackson has skirted the IRS for so long.

I normally stand against the North American Union idea, but I suppose we could just annex Canada. We could do lots of drilling up there, they already come here for their healthcare, and it would give us more land mass at the artic cirlce to keep an eye on Russia. Heck, I'm thinking it might be a great place to have some bombs and stuff ready to go....(I feel an awesome blog post coming on!)

Sorry, can't do that...too afraid of what an Obama persidency would do to this country.....I live in NV and it looks like it will be a close race here and I do believe there is a such thing as a wasted vote. Better to go the grass root route to make changes...

I like the News Fakery.
I liked this article.
I clicked on the star to give it a 5 out of 5.
I got the message "Ron Paul!"
WTF? (e.g. Wasn't That Funny?)

No.

We can't annex Canada! If we annex Canada, it would become part of the US, and no REAL American would want that. We should just send some raiders, viking style, then demand tribute.

Yeah, AR, like: "Your oil or your queen." Wait...

Obama has taken to warning people that should he give them a woody for more than 4 hours they should consult their doctor.

Our site takes a more supportive view on affirmative action. But yours is certainly defensible. Thanks for adding your voice to the blogging universe.

Much better. Told you I would probably agree, and I do.

And PammyV,

I still say vote NO and send them all home. We deserve better than them.

I was wondering

Affirmative Action: "Lowering Standards Without Raising Expectations for Over Thirty Years."

Great post but...Affirmative Action is a hate crime against whites and Asians.
