Fine, okay, it's a blog already!

Hillary Clinton does not respect our people. Hillary Clinton supporters went to court to prevent working people to vote this Saturday -- that is an embarrassment.

Hillary Clinton supporters want to prevent people from voting in their workplace on Saturday. This is unforgivable. Hillary Clinton is shameless. Hillary Clinton should not allow her friends to attack our people's right to vote this Saturday. This is unforgivable; there's no respect

Sen. Obama is defending our right to vote. Sen. Obama wants our votes. He respects our votes, our community, and our people.

Sen. Obama's campaign slogan is "Si Se Puede" ("Yes We Can"). Vote for a president that respects us, and that respects our right to vote. Obama for president, "Si Se Puede"

After a pro-Clinton teacher's union tried to illegally tilt the Nevada caucus in Hillary's favor, a judge threw out their case. After going after votes with crocodile tears, the Clinton campaign is all about using proxies to provoke racial incidents. Here in Nevada, she's trying to disenfranchise largely Latino workers in the culinary union.

In South Carolina, she uses the conservative president of BET, Bob Johnson, to bring up that Obama - gasp! - may have used drugs in the past. How that is relevant, or even useful, in the 21st century isn't clear. What IS clear is that Clinton just stood there and let it happen and didn't say a damn thing until controversy erupted. What is also clear is that she is tying herself to corporate conservatives to attempt character assassinations on her opponent as a strategy. And yes, what is even more clear is that she is trying to fan the Fear of a Black Man meme to scare African-Americans into voting for her.

While Clinton is trying to start a race war and Bill is increasingly becoming unhinged, her campaign is starting to sound, well, Republican.

Mike Huckabee is also fanning the flames of racism and intolerance, but at least he's honest about it. And that's the only damn positive thing I'll say about him. In South Carolina he's wrapping himself up in the Confederate flag, as only true Republicans know how to do.

He has also compared homosexuality with bestiality, also as only true Republicans know how to do.

Seriously, where do they find these assholes?

Also, Gustavo Arellano takes Mitt Romney to task for being a ungrateful rabid anti-immigrant bastard considering how much Mexico gave his polygamy-loving forebearers.

Wanna know why I don't like golf? Shit like this:

Read this article on the controversy in case you aren't up to date. Just the fact someone in the golf community thought this was even okay should keep me off of a green for at least another decade.

Meanwhile, Obama has been trying, though not always successfully, to avoid being suckered in by Clinton's race baiting. He's also been picking up endorsements from party officials, including John Kerry and, soon, Patrick Leahy. Look, a lot of folks aren't even making endorsements, which probably is more of a slap to Hillary Clinton than anything. For people to even speak up for Obama is a fairly gutsy move given her campaign machine. Kudos to them for joining the rest of us.
