AFKAN: GENERAL COMMENTS | 2008-03-20
I think this are much better for us then we have given ourselves credit for.
Apparently, Geraldine Ferraro attacked Obama on the basis of RACE - and then, not willing to do the pro forma apology, announced SHE is being criticized because she is WHITE.
Yes - the used the "W" word!
Apparently, the Obama Moment just might lead to the End of an Era.
More details to follow.
"Hey! It's ALRIGHT to be WHITE! The DEMOCRATIC Party said so!"
I suspect John McCain just poured himself a double, and thought to himself, "The thrill of victory..."
I almost missed this because AFKAN put it in General Comments, where it belongs. "General Comments" is in capitals on the right side of this page.
Commenters normal procedure has been to put more general discussion of new topics in their replies to specific pieces where they do not belong. There WAS no other place to put them.
Mderpleding just had one like that and for the first time with a commenter I asked him to put it in GC.
This is certainly not because mderpelding is the first one to do this. It has been our regular procedure for years to put more general statements into our habitual place, as a reply to specific piece. Old habits are hard to break.
But I almost missed AFKANs piece because I have ceased to look at GC. Nobody PUTS anything there. So it is hard for me to break MY old habit of LOOKING for all comments under the latest entries.
But if BUGS is going to make me dispensable, which is what I am after, you are going to have to get used to bringing in new topics yourself.
We all need to break the old habit of not using GC.
