Larry's Roundup

Hi, everyone. It's time for the sensible part of this blog, a new feature called "Larry's Roundup." Every Friday night, I'll post my thoughts about a few of the news stories that have gotten a lot of attention, or other issues I feel like including. There's not much this week, but I have a job to do.

First of all, despite what CD (what's that stand for, anyway? Conservative Dunderhead?) may have told you, Maureen Dowd was right on in her last column. I mean, did you see Bushler's arrogant speech? He was screaming and shaking his fist in the air and threatening people...I bet all the Congresspeople in the front row were soaked with the froth coming from his monkey mouth. And people think Dean is angry!

Now, let's talk about this story. I don't get it. Look at this excerpt:

A small group of Westside High School students plastered the school Monday with posters advocating that a white student from South Africa receive the "Distinguished African American Student Award" next year. The students' actions on Martin Luther King Jr. Day upset several students and have led administrators to discipline four students.

All the neocons on the blogosphere are calling this racism and saying that the students did the right thing. WHAT? How could you possibly make sense of this? Read the story. They wanted to give the "Distinguished African-American Student Award" to a white student. How hard is this to understand? You can't give him the award if he doesn't fit the criteria!

This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. The student isn't an African-American, so how could he be eligible for the award? What's next, a male Miss America? That would be fine by your logic, idiots. The horrible racist students were trying to say that African-Americans don't deserve awards because they'll always be inferior. How can you possibly stand up for them unless you're also racists? Admit it!

I also want to talk about Michael Moore's endorsement of Wesley Clark. First of all, I'm not a Clark supporter. My man, Dennis Kucinich, is going all the way, and I see no point in endorsing anyone else. However, some Repugs seem to think that Clark is going to lose credibility with Moore's support, and since I am a Michael Moore fan, I have to step in.

He already got into some trouble in the debate. Moore accused Bush* of being a "deserter," and and Peter Jennings asked Clark if he agreed. Clark, in turn, said that he hasn't investigated the story, so he can't comment.

Now, my question to you is this: Why are you making such a big deal of that claim? I mean, Shrub was at least AWOL, right? Moore is just trying to make a point. Don't you get it? He makes people think! BFC opened my eyes to all the problems with racism and violentce and bowling in this country, and now Moore is just trying to make people realize that our Chimp in Chief is a coward! Why should Clark be portrayed in a negative light because of that?

Finally, all you paranoid Repukes out there who think there's some Liberal Media™ taking over the world should look at this story. Read the headline:

Dean: 'I have all kinds of warts'

Now, would a Liberal Media™ use that as their headline? He's not even talking about warts! He used it as a metaphor for imperfections! However, the Corporate News Network has decided to make people think that Dean has some sort of wart problem. Now people are going to call him "Howart Dean!" CNN is no better than Faux News.

That's all for now. By the way, I'm officially registered to post on Democratic Underground. My username is LLLLarry. If any of you facist sheeple want to see some intelligent thought, you should go to DU and check it out. That's where I'll be for the next hour or so. See ya.
