    First of all, any one who ever actually grew up in the hood (like moi)knows that the Latinas were the smartest ones. They straddled the black/white line and talked in such a way that no one messed with them.


    Calling her J-Lo is only good for liberal biznez. The Boogie Down is a good place to be from if need to rumble with the roughest dudes in the land.


    Yo.

    In any case, until we trot out the tape-measures and start comparing asses, Ms. Schlussel's observation is at best tantalizingly incomplete.

    I could easily concoct as good a zinger as anyone here, but since it would be a Zen exercise in disgust at the political- hack nature of these smug, self-righteous, self-amused posters, would be both irrefutable and unexciting, and would ultimately satisfy me less than a simple expression of revulsion, the revulsion alone is all any of you so far even come close to qualifying for.

    @moraliste: "Self-righteousness causes two throat-clearings to be uttered in quick succession. The first ahem says: How stupid everyone is! The second ahem says: How nice to notice, all by my lonesome, how stupid everyone is! The second ahem makes self-righteousness self-righteousness."

    @moraliste: Getting insulted by an idiot is kind of like that time around grade 4 or 5, when your teacher tells you that 5-7= -2 and you think "that can't be right" and then suddenly there's a shocking glimmer of abstract worlds as you realize that negative numbers are numbers too.


    Well this is kind of like that, when you realize that some people are so stupid that their insults are always compliments.

    Hey Debbie, nice craptastic photoshop job on your arms.


    Hey, she opened the door for superficial critique.

    Does this mean Justice Sotomayor is expected to wear a glittery collar with her robe rather than the usual lady judge white lace?
