The racist comments get so old. The only racists I've met have been liberal democrats. All the focus is on skin color. They think of Blacks in this country as stupid or less than able and therefore needing their benevolent liberal help. Friends and coworkers casually drop these sorts of comments, but it's ok to speak like that because they're liberals and therefore not racist.

I'm embarrassed for her and the human mic. What dorks.

"Almost nothing he says is ever original, insightful or thoughtful, although he delivers his empty phrases in a professorial honk that seems to convey authority."

Perfect description of Gergen. Must be a great gig - get paid big bucks to repeat what the cool kids are saying.

Crash was the worst movie I'd ever seen (the movie's message: we're all racist, & this is new and profound...No, it's college sophomore thinking & we've seen it 3 trillion times before;self-congratulating lemmings), until Revolutionary Road. Revolutionary Road was only nominated for a Golden Globe, so maybe it doesn't meet the criteria. But it definitely was acclaimed as wonderful. Sat through this puke inducing story
while I was home sick. Kept asking the cat what was wrong with me; why didn't I turn it off? Winslet's character was one of the worst characters ever protrayed on film. Am I the crazy one? (I do talk to my cat.) Who thinks these kinds of movies are worth time? I don't get it. It was soul-sucking.
