So, that whole 'Master Race", "Aryan Race" thing, was just a misunderstanding.

I think the biggest mistake was looking to Whoopi Goldberg for information about the holocaust.

"A race is a categorization of humans based on shared physical or social qualities into groups generally viewed as distinct within a given society"

--Wikipedia

"The term race has also been applied to linguistic groups (the “Arab race” or the “Latin race”), to religious groups (the “Jewish race”), and even to political, national, or ethnic groups with few or no physical traits that distinguish them from their neighbours (the “Irish race,” the “French race,” the “Spanish race,” the “Slavic race,” the “Chinese race”, etc.)."

Dem Sen. Lujan of NM suffered a stroke, expected to make full recovery



If he were unable to carry on as Senator, the Dem Governor would name his replacement.
This is a good reminder that Dianne Feinstein should have retired like yesterday.

BIG OOPS



I may be out of the loop/know, but what is the racism?

Is "Da ball" some kind of racist slang or innuendo?

If not, I am totally lost as to what is going on in that text.

This article does a good job explaining the situation:

(My “BIG OOPS” was in reference to Bill Belichick not realizing who he was texting, revealing they had already picked their guy before Flores even interviewed with them).

Whoopi got two weeks off.

The View is unwatchable for me. It isn’t that they hold positions different than I do; many people do. The ladies are mostly just not nice people.

Lots of people watch it…and I am glad we are all not alike…
