Barack Obama Is Half Muggle!

You should really check out this column that's been floating around since last week, if you have not yet done so:  "A full-blooded American." Random columnist Kathleen Parker quotes a 24-year-old West Virginian who said he will vote for John McCain over Barack Obama because he would be more comfortable with "someone who is a full-blooded American as president." Kathleen Parker, um, agrees, noting that "it's about blood equity, heritage and commitment to hard-won American values. And roots," that makes certain candidates "get" America. This Kathleen Parker is actually married to Lord Voldemort. [Jewish World Review via Matt Yglesias ]
