Except Bricker. Hell, I got Bricker to admit even he doesn’t think that. He was just trolling GD as usual, it seems. How many internets do I win? 😃 ---

You dad employs minorities. That is more than 99% of the population that engage in much enraged anti-racist chit-chat. I may be mistaken but I’m sure the average unemployed minority fella would prefer a job to the standardized institualized-racist pep-talk. Do you employ any minorities? Btw. I’m white-loving too. Some of my best friends are white and in fact I only fuck white pussy. Mostly or wholly on account of my wife being white. But if she wants to bring in some minority loving, then I’m open to experimentation. ---

This is why I’m not voting for Obama. I don’t wish to be accused of half racism. ---

Are you one of my brothers? I guess not, your dad owns a company, while mine is bouncing around sales jobs approaching retirement. But boy, are they cut from the same cloth! Mine likes to burst out with inappropriate comments out of nowhere during family dinners. It did not used to be that way; he hates Obama with the fiery passion of a billion suns, and the mental junk-food of Rush has eaten away at his brain. Its almost like Tourette’s, but there’s actually nothing medically wrong with him. ---

> [@otternell](#): > > …the mental junk-food of Rush has eaten away at his brain. Hey, c’mon; sure, some of their lyrics are trite philosophical pap, but I wouldn’t call it mental junk food. I’d save that moniker for Styx. What? Oh. Nevermind. ---
