Photo Search Database Is Racist?
Friday, April 25th, 2008
We were hoping to search for some nice wire photos on the Getty search engine of Barack Obama in the last 24 hours, so as to do one of those mildly comical photos tours. But there have been no photos of Barry in the last 24 hours, because he is eating his Waffles. Now how does this lead a search engine to think we meant OSAMA?

This rapidly circulating flyer was seen ON THE DESK OF Bill Sandifer, a Republican South Carolina state representative. Can you see how horribly non-racially transcendent it is already?
There’s some big news coming out of North Dakota State University, America’s college.

In the background, two male students dressed as cowboys simulated anal sex while holding an Obama sign that one student ripped at the conclusion of the 30-second performance.” Too much Sirloin for the Saddle, as Hillary Clinton likes to say about penises.

HOORAY FOR OBAMA’S NEW ANTI-RACISM POLITICS: In the past, if you tried to broach a racially sensitive topic, one of your constipated friends would shout
Oh poor St. Barack of Obama, the evil media has him in one of their traps! You know, the one where there’s a controversy over racist comments, and then you have to explain them away so many times that, eventually, you’ll utter something off-key and turn a racial scandal into a Race War. One lucky interviewer snagged a fine out-of-context quote from Barry today, involving his Kansas “white grandmother,” the one Barry eulogized as a racist in his
The Clark County, Utah Republican Party held its convention Saturday, and the Mormons are so secretive that it’s taking this important news several days to make its way around the Internet. “Standing in” for John McCain was Mark Shurtleff, the attorney general of Utah. Even that title sounds horribly racist and sexist and Mormon. So what horribly racist and sexist and Mormon things did he say?
