Oh, and because I can never remember how to link in the pure html form, then you get this as a reply to Nathan's blog.

Concerning Obama. He's actually a bit more popular with whites than blacks. You know what that means¹? That means he's reached Colin Powell², Oprah and Tiger Woods cross-race appeal. And that means voting for him helps to assuage the guilt of centuries of racism. Wonderful. Vote for a half-black once, and you prove to the world you're not racist.

Anyway, of all the Dems, I'm liking Richardson. He helps me feel better about having an illegal Hispanic worker.

Isn't diversity great?

¹ It doesn't actually mean this, but since it's coincidental, I'm going to do what the "new" media loves to do so much and shout causation when it's just correlation.
² Before he became SecState. That ruined him.
