When someone exposes you as a racist hater, the obvious response is to call the blogger who exposed you a racist.

Obvious, that is, if you’re a demagogic creep trying to perpetuate racist/homophobic bullshit.

Whether Dr. Helen intentionally unlocked this Pandora’s Box for Halloween is an open question, but she wonders, “Should Men Get Married?”  So far, it appears that the answer is, “No.  Only women should get married.”

Maha doesn’t understand how this is the inevitable outcome of identity politics. It doesn’t make any sense, you see. Also, as you can see from the comments, I’m gay. Well, not GAY gay, but gay. It could be my face, but then it wouldn’t be funny, because anyone who believes as I do is obviously racist, whereas that charge levelled against, say, Glenn or Maha? Absurd!

Well, the Breitbart team haven’t posted in 5 days, so I suppose I must have creeped (crept?) that poor girl out. My apologies. Still, I don’t think I’m quite as creepy as either of these stories:

G*d I am so tired of the Favre-gasm. You just about want to send a note to ESPN toe tell Kornheiser and Favre to get a room.

Thank you, RC. I have to turn off the game. Between the Bronco bashing from Kornholio, the Favre encomiums (and now, his wife in the booth, taking attention away from the actual game), and the camera coverage (LOOK! CHEESEHEADS IN THE STANDS!), I’ve lost interest in football.

The way ESPN markets sports these days is ruining the games for me. What was once about teams is now about individual personalities. It’s tedious.

And seriously, is the pro-Green Bay bias on a game being played in Denver really wise?

I think ESPN should be banned from doing games. They can do the sportscenter and whatnot, but the way they turn games in to a MTV Video makes me violently ill.

I wish we could get Madden/Summerall back together. Did anyone call a better game than those two?

I say no.

Yeah? {*burp*}

Well then fuck you.
