[QUOTE=elucidator] Maybe if I turn you guys in, I can plea-bargain. [/QUOTE] Smells like blackmail to meā€¦ youā€™ve got them behind the eightball. Thatā€™s a very black-hearted thing to do to your fellow dopers. On a serious note, Iā€™ll buy the GOPā€™s actions as a good response. ---

[QUOTE=Revtim] There is nothing in the button that to me implies concern, only an attempted bit of humor about what to call the White House. [/QUOTE] If nothing else, the button assumes that the race of the president automatically raises questions regarding the nature of the presidency and symbols thereof. The assumption that race is somehow determinative of something outside the superficial characteristics of an individual is racist in the most basic sense of the word. ---

Up-date: So, I spammed the story. Mostly, I got 'j666, itā€™s been a while, how _are_ you?" Mostly. Iā€™ll report any patterns. But I just had a thought. What if the button said, ā€œWould we still have to call it The White House?ā€ I must admit, I would laugh. ---

[QUOTE=El\_Kabong] Right. Carol Stream is a suburb of Chicago, and I donā€™t think the poster who goes by that name has ever mentioned his or her gender. Really wants to avoid revealing that, apparently, for whatever reason. [/QUOTE] And that would be your business, how? :mad: ---

[QUOTE=Sailboat] Dyslexic fuckers canā€™t even spell. And they need to put God first! Itā€™s Christian. Republican. American. Proud. CRAP for short. Sailboat [/QUOTE] That almost sounds like a Walker Percy plot-line. (Read LOVE IN THE RUINS for reference.) ---

Well, they told me in Sunday School that The Boss hung with lepers, tax collectors, whores, and centurions. So I guess a Republican isnt much of a stretchā€¦ Sure wasnā€™t particular about the company He kept. Kinda the point, I guessā€¦ ---
