BEST BUDS

Now... if I can get a picture of him shaking hands with that other outstanding citizen, Al Sharpton, from last night, my day is complete.

(Thanks to KB from NYC for passing on the 2009 shot)

BILLY MAYS

On a more important note, we've lost one of late night television's (well ... he had broken away from late night and was becoming almost ubiquitous across time zones) ace pitchmen.

Billy Mays, the guy with the jet black hair and beard, who pitched things from the boob tube while YELLING AT YOU LIKE THIS, and the man who gave the world Oxy Clean (among other products), was found dead in his Tampa home this morning by his wife.

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton did not show at the home, otherwise engaged trying to figure out which white man killed Michael Jackson and how they could extort some money from either the King of bizarre personal behavior's estate, or someone else's.

C'mon. No matter how talented Jackson was, that race-changing, face-changing chameleon was one bizarre puppy ... with a capital B.

Both Mays and MJ (unlike Farrah Fawcett) were 50 years old.

RIP, Billy .... WE KNEW YOU AS WELL AS WE WANTED.

APPARENTLY I'M A RACIST

The Reverend Al "Screw the First Amendment, Whitey" Sharpton has successfully - once again - managed to get everyone to apologize for being racist over something that wasn't racist to start with.

It never occured to me that the artists drawing that cartoon might possibly have been speaking about our president. Not once. Call me naive, stupid or insensitive, but in 2009, that was never a possibility ... until Al brought it up.

Nonetheless, white Libbies everywhere are falling over themselves mea culpa-ing ... not a single MSM outlet even offered the infinite monkey theorem in rebuttal, which more adequately and appropriately explains the logic behind the toon.

President Obama, right or wrong, signed this ridiculous bill. The Senate and congress wriote it. Ergo ..... duh!

Well, I'm sure the artist is happy financially for all the attention, but as usual, Sharpton did absolutely nothing to address racism (blatant or latent), instead he continues his pig-in-a-mud-wallow racist routine accomplishing zippo.

(Oh, my God. Did he just call all Black people muddy pigs?!? Get Al over here, NOW!).

(BTW: There actually is a mathematical solution for the infinite monkey theorem. Go HERE to play with it, if you're of a mathematical bent.)

Ah well ...

[UPDATE 21 Feb: Apparently the NAACP hasn't heard about the First Amendment. They've called for the cartoonist's firing and have threatened to "go national" if he isn't canned. Idiots. Isn't that kinda like the KKK threatening to go national if a local paper doesn't fire a Black columnist? No? What's the difference? ]

SHARPTON IS A RACIST

When I first saw this cartoon, I thought it was funny (I had just read about the poor chimp who had to be put down for attacking the woman in CT)[Late Aside: Okay, perhaps funny is the wrong word.] and pretty much to the point, insofar as my view on who's responsible for the lack-of-stimulus giveaway of America.

Give enough monkeys keyboards and they'll write Shakespeare as the saying goes, and that's about sums up how Congress works.

But, now, everyone's favorite race baiter and race monger, Al Sharpton, has decided the cartoon is racist. Soooooo, my only reaction to that low-life is to re-post it here.

Screw you, Al. You've done less for race relations than the KKK.

[UPDATE: The toon originally appeared in the New York Post. NY Governor Paterson (who's blind. G o figure), also didn't like the toon. The editorial was drawn by Sean Delona.]
