“Things I‘d Like To Post About Today; But I Don’t Have Any Time ‘4‘â€:
- Carnegie Mellon’s The Tartan, from Monday (HT LGF) — (my title) “Michelle Obama’s handlers: ‘We need more white people in our artificially diverse crowd background.’” Memo to the objectively unfit presidential candidate I refer to as BOOHOO (Barack O-bomba Overseas Hussein “Obambi†Obama): You’re going to need a lot more white people in November. As long as you don’t truly repudiate “black liberation theology,” along with the Trinity United Church of Christ, which intends to continue preaching it, you’re not going to get them. Count on it.
- Absolut-ly pulled. A company with a brain would never have run such an ad, showing most of the American West as part of Mexico, in the first place.
- Seventeen Iraq War combat vets are running for Congressional seats as Republicans. Y’think Old Media will fawn over them as they did Democrats Paul “I’m Pretending to Be a Republican” Hackett and Tammy “I Won’t Live in My District” Duckworth? Fortunately, both lost.
- Barack Obama’s candidacy “has unleashed a barrel of bilge from within the black community.” Yup.
- Task Force Marne, from mid-March — “3rd Infantry Division completes re-up goal in record time” (HT Mudville Gazette) — Thank goodness the war is considered a just cause by those whose job it is to defend us.
- Politico — Oprah’s popularity has taken a hit (HT Instapundit). The cause appears to be an O-Bomb-a.
Probably not the best idea for Absolut to offend the consumers who are going to be more of the product than those of Mexico.
