		<description><![CDATA[Dear Little Turd (a.k.a. McKay Hatch):
I recently saw some news story where you “demand” that I apologize for audibly whispering that Healthcare Reform was a “big fuckin’ deal” to my boss during a press conference . If I remember correctly, this is how that historic moment went down:

		<description><![CDATA[Let’s face it: Dubya has had a serious ass-kicking coming to him for a long time. How he continues to elude it, even after this latest stunt, I don’t know. During one of his recent, well-publicized humanitarian visits to Haiti with Bill Clinton, Bush appears to wipe his hand on Clinton’s shirt after shaking some Haitians’ hands. The jury is still out on whether this was some subtly racist shit (which I would argue it probably is). But one thing is clear: I would have beat his ass.  I’d put up with a lot of things--including ruining 230-plus years of (overall) national progress—but not this shit.

In a recent statement, he’s excoriated some teachers at a South Los Angeles elementary school for encouraging some of their students to celebrate O.J. Simpson, Dennis Rodman, and RuPaul at a Black History Month event.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple of weeks ago, Ethnic Avenue reported on the sudden unshriveling of Obama’s kick-assery, after an extended, disappointing slumber. Since it was only a single week of ballsy, it was unclear at the time whether the whole thing was just a fluke, or the beginning of something big. Well, the answer to that question has arrived in the form of a major oh-snap moment against his soundly defeated adversary, Old-Man McCain. In fact, Obama came down so swiftly and coldly, that I actually felt kind of bad for the old bastard—despite his infinite dickiness and stupidity.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every year around this time, the TV lights up with lame programs about “where we are” in respect to Martin Luther King’s “Dream.” Even though I recognize the value of the occasional check-in, I’ve always felt that the annual MLK news special was one of those hollow, easy gestures from the CNNs of the world—put mostly in place so the second-string newscasters can log hours while Wolf Blitzer gets “the night off.”  Needless to say, this year’s special got all fucked up because of the whole Obama thing. For the first time in a long-ass time, they actually have some movement on the Dream front.]]></description>
