Good Point

From conservative columnist Kathleen Parker:

“Mornin’, y’all,” said Mitt Romney recently to a Mississippi crowd. He started his day off right, he said, with “a biscuit and some cheesy grits.” That would be cheese grits, but never mind. Would Romney greet an audience at a Jewish Community Center with: “Oy vey, did I ever enjoy my loxies and bagels this morning!”? Or African Americans with: “Yo, dawg, wassup?”

Actually, yes, he might. Forever tattooed in the memory is the image of Romney approaching an African American baby at a 2008 Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade. Pointing to the baby’s necklace, he said: “What’s happening? You got some bling-bling here!”

And yes, it's cheese grits. The added 'y,' while somewhat Jossian, is also...well... rather cheesy. 

And I did vote in the primary yesterday. At least I voted in the Bacchus/Beason race because, while Bacchus is an insider trading asshole, Beason is the guy who called African-American Alabamians "aborigines" a few months ago and who also wrote the racist immigration bill. Given the impossibility of an opposing party candidate winning in the fall, I felt I had to vote... for the insider trader. Guess being unethical is (marginally) better than being an overt, unapologetic racist. *head desk*

Lord, Monday night I had persistent robo calls from the time I came home until I went to bed.
