Race is always an issue in the US.
No, no, that's the past! We're totally over that! Let's all pat ourselves on the back for having moved beyond all that tedious history!

Of course race is a huge issue in this campaign, as the pundits are making clear in WV.
OTOH, so is gender. And age.
I haven't been around much for discussion on the campaign here, but I could actually live with any one of the candidates being president. I've never been able to say that before.
ETA: To be clear, I have criticisms on each of them, and I have a clear preference for one.

I just sent an email to the Curious George publishers permissions department linking to the AJC articles. Perhaps someone can get sued.

I'm really skeptical that the Burmese gov't is going to actually do fuckall with the aid they are receiving. Beyond stocking their personal larders and making token for-the-few-cameras displays.
WHY do people keep giving me graphics work? If there is one thing I am really not good at, it is that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I hope they sue his pants off. But I hope they do it after the election. I think the less publicity this racist piece of shit gets now, the better.
