Joe the Plumber? McCain needs to Roto-Router his personality; Shed the “angry maverick” image, be more avuncular– or Obama pulls away in the stretch
I know I said I’d give both candidates a bye on this one. But of course, I had to watch, to serve you dear reader. Just in case some one really landed a punch.
McCain needed a knockout blow. But Obama is too skillful, too cool. He stood up to McCain. The electorate needed to see [...] -
Slant-eyed Spanish team wins Olympic gold–for racism
Have you seen the picture yet of the Spanish Olympic roundball team. Really, there’s no competition. Pure racist gold. Maybe if some country did a team photo with all its members in fake Fu Manchu facial hair. That would be gold medal worthy.

Asian American stereotype buster: Forget med school, remember Macrumors.com
Here’s a technology story about an Asian American that’s more than just a stereotype builder.
It’s a stereotype buster.
You know about the Asian American kid whose parents torment him/her into becoming the doctor because the family needed a reliable cash cow for the future. I know one child who is being prodded into medicine.

The primary last night is a reminder to nay saying media who want to crown Obama now.
This process should go on.
It also makes this weekend’s APIAVote event even more important.
While community leaders from all over the [...] -
The Liberal side of Colorblind: Obama’s Post-Affirmative Action Politics
It’s easy to dub Barack Obama’s speech as the 21st Century’s Gettysburg Address on race in America. In recent memory, no one has had to speak so candidly, so eloquently, so publicly under such stress on the issue.
Indeed, no one really likes to talk about race anymore. Most people prefer to engage in “race [...] -
Ferraro fouled by Obama’s backdoor race card
Now we know how nasty Obama can be.
Geraldine Ferraro’s remarks about him were made during a speech outside the context of the campaign. In fact, while Ferraro is on the finance committee, she is not an official member of the day-to-day Clinton campaign operations.
During a paid public appearance Ferraro simply said that Obama is “lucky” [...] -
A “report card” on Schwarzenegger
I like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Really. “Kindergarten Cop” really cracked me up.
But I want to be charitable. I do like him. I met Schwarzenegger once at a Starbucks and I like a governor who seems taller than he really is. Too bad he can’t stand on any of his accomplishments as governor of California.
The state budget [...]
