Hey Look! Lou “Circle the Wagons” Dobbs has chimed in on the Henry Louis Gates Jr. flap (kind of) - http://tr.im/tFxl

Hey, hey, the only kind of profiling at my place is whether the tigers like ya or not. If they don’t, well…

Thanks, my fault. Dave Chappelle talked about this exact incident happening like ten years ago. But it was framed as a joke and not retelling a story that had actually happened.

Wish someone would send this quote by FDR to Obama.

“These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power. Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power. In vain they seek to hide behind the flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the flag and the Constitution stand for. Now, as always, they stand for democracy, not tyranny; for freedom, not subjection; and against a dictatorship by mob rule and the over-privileged alike.”

Or, given that there again appears to be serious difficulty in getting through a less radical, more gradualist approach, single payer (which I support) would have gone over like a pregnant pole vaulter. So far, his judgement and instincts have been better than mine, better than Brittany Spears, better than that of most people. Actually, we all had a shot at least equal to his, of becoming president. Then we could have just put through whatever program we favored. I think I probably could have, but prefer to shoot spitballs from the back of the class.

Right after the President said this the press conference was over and someone on MSNBC said there might be some unhappy people on the Cambridge Police force tonight after hearing that “Stupidity” comment. I am sorry but you are allowed to call this stupid, it doesnt mean all cops are stupid. For example it is stupid to shoot an unarmed man 50 or 60 times, or stupid for shoving a broom stick into a man or stupid for electrocuting an elderly grandma, that doesnt mean all cops are stupid. Stupid is as stupid does.
