Poltical Correctness
After the Civil Rights and Women's movements of the latter half of the 20th Century there entered a new trend in American conversation, that of Political Correctness. It was no longer acceptable to make racist or sexist comments, especially for...more »

The part that tripped me out was Scarbarough practically getting a tingle out of Biden. If even Joe likes Joe, maybe the media won't be such a hassle.

Ugh, as a LA resident, I am disgusted. I was really hoping that now that we have a Republican governor they'd pressure him to step down, but no such luck.

What I'm still trying to figure out is what are "ethnic whites?" While we're at it, why do they keep saying middle/working class and whites like they're interchangeable? Um, hello, there's plenty of black and brown middle/working class folks, too.

Thanks, Tena. It's hard to fight the urge just to give it up, in my 10 year voting career literally not one of the candidates I've supported has won anything. I guess that's the result of being blue in a red state. But I can't dwell on it too much, that way lies madness. Mostly I just feel bad for Gilda, she is such a truly cool lady. Smart, spunky and tough.

I am so depressed about 01, you just don't even know. Scalise is such a sleaze. Of course, when you consider that the media coverage of 01 was basically a footnote to every 06 article that said "Scalise is expected to win," it's not really a shock.
