I’m posting this here so I can find it later and follow some of the links. I’m leaving it public in case you guys are interested, too.
Tea Party Express spokesman Mark Williams advised to polish his resume
StandardHe needed to respond to the NAACP’s request that Tea Partiers “to repudiate those in their ranks who use racist language in their signs and speeches.” Hey, the guy is the national spokesman, right? I’m sure he handled this with dignity and tact.
“You’re dealing with people who are professional race-baiters, who make a very good living off this kind of thing. They make more money off of race than any slave trader ever. It’s time groups like the NAACP went to the trash heap of history where they belong with all the other vile racist groups that emerged in our history.”
Emphasis added by me.
I wonder how much longer people in the mainstream media will criticize the NAACP?
Randomness for 7/16
Standard1) Letters written to fictional characters by actual people. I like this one, this one, this one and this one. And now I can’t help but wonder what letter I would write.
2) Proving there’s a niche blog for everything (until someone creates a niche blog you never even thought of before): Handsome Men Who Are Now Dead.
3) Prank rollercoaster photos. Maybe not entirely safe for work, but not too bad.
4) via Steve Barr: Ferris Beuller is Tyler Durdin!. And now in video form (which I can’t watch at work.)
5) If movie titles were honest. The funny ones make up for the dumb ones.
