A Mathematical Challenge
We've heard about how nearly everyone in W VA is white.
So exactly are the odds that a black man sits just behind Hillary during her victory speech?
And what is the symbolic meaning of the red boxing gloves?
Help me, I feel like I'm in a David Lynch movie.
And where is the backwards dancing midget, anyway?

That black guy to Hillary's left (or, the right of the screen) was taken off the street and given $5.00 to stand there.

$10 each time he nods his head.
$25 every time he claps or cheers.

A carton of cigs, a case of 40s, and new bright yellow glow in the fucking dark t-shirt so they can see his ass when the lights go out. Imagine my shock to see a ebony brother cheesin' it back for the cameras. At least he'll be famous with the 10 other black folks who live WV. ... Unless they bused him in... nah, WV doesn't believe in forced busing.

Hey, if I'd known that one of our own could've started this whole argument in WV herself, I'd be shaking my head at myself for believing we had moved beyond all of this already.

according to Wikipedia, 3.56 % of the people is black.
Also, they all do this. Notice the many old ppl behind mccain nodding off? Or worse?

3.56 of Wvigans, I meant.

Wasn't that awesome? I got such a laugh out of that. Truly...this place in the primaries is so surreal and thoroughly entertaining. Our troll exchanges on the threads provide perfect background. I'm just rolling along and having a great time. I say, relax and enjoy the ride. Go with it. Soon, we'll have to shift gears and take all more seriously when Obama has to take on McCain.

Concerning the guy with the boxing gloves in particular, HuffPo had a story today with pictures showing the same guy in both PA and WV, so he must be a campaign volunteer or something.

They do all do this to some extent. But I couldn't help but notice the guy with the bowling pin last night, too.
