Good political cartoon.

I was disappointed not to hear more talk about this historic 5th anniversary of the Iraq invasion, but the consensus on the news seems to be that "the Surge is working" simply because violence is down.

Yet, we can pull our troops out

That should read "can't".

We need an "edit" function.

Yet, we can pull our troops out because things are going so well we don't want to loose those gains. And we can't leave when things are bad because "it would look like a retreat".

So "whhat" exactly must the conditions be like to be considered "successful" enough to leave?

Sure. Wanna trade places with a Black american? C'mon chump-Do Ya?

I have a racist joke to tell. I learned it one night after a black friend of mine and i got totally shitfaced back in 1978 and told each other all the racist jokes we had ever heard. This is in fact the only one i can remember because that night i purged them from my memory, i was raised in a racist nation and in my youngest days i was, as all my peers, a racist.

"What is white and round and twelve inches long?"

"Nothing!"

And that, my friends (although not entirely acurate) may indeed be what is at the crux (or the crotch) of white racism.

I'm going to print this cartoon and hand it to anyone who asks me why the "blacks get so upset and use that kind of language". That question has come my way at least twice a day since Monday and I'm tired of trying to explain it to people who so obviously don't know much about history of society in the US. Maybe this would answer it for them. I don't know why they are even asking the question; it has all been clear to me since I was a high school student in the dark ages.

mack daddy in the white house....with his strong pimp hand he will lead us out of this mess

the tuskegee experiments

blacks were experimented on in this country, and no one has ever been held liable

The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment
http://www.infoplease.com/spot/bhmtuskegee1.html

The PHS, however, remained unrepentant, claiming the men had been “volunteers” and “were always happy to see the doctors,” and an Alabama state health officer who had been involved claimed “somebody is trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.”

Yes who woundnt want to suffer from a treatable disease for decades then die from it, plus have your wife contract it and children born with it.

The PHS did not accept the media's comparison of Tuskegee with the appalling experiments performed by Nazi doctors on their Jewish victims during World War II. Yet in addition to the medical and racist parallels, the PHS offered the same morally bankrupt defense offered at the Nuremberg trials: they claimed they were just carrying out orders, mere cogs in the wheel of the PHS bureaucracy, exempt from personal responsibility.

Hippocratic oath "alleviate suffering" not prolong it.

Same thing happened with some of the atom bomb tests, soldiers exposed to radiation to become test subjects for study over the decades.

Symtoms of a Republican feudal holdover mindset, morally bankrupt and vile in the light of day.
everybody else is there to be used and abused for their pleasure and cast aside when of no more use.

Uh, waiter? I didn't order any logic in my political cartoons. Please, just...just take it away...

Meanwhile, did anyone hear about Huckabee on Scarborough standing up for the relationship Obama has with Wright? I mean, Huck's far from my favorite guy, and I gotta wonder if his defense comes from stuff he said in HIS sermons he might like to not come back to bite him in the butt. But he made a lot of sense, talking about how even religious leaders can say things in the spirit of the moment they might wish to have phrased differently after the moment has passed...and how very very real racial problems still are in America and that we should at least attempt to empathize and understand the rage some people have over the disparity of whites vs. blacks, or haves vs. have-nots, in the richest country in the world (that's still us, right?). I had heard Huck's church was one of the first, if not the first, in the south to be inclusive to whites and blacks, so Huck's probably seen more racial strife - and tried to do more on a personal level to correct it - than insufferable loads like Robertson or Falwell or Hagee or Swaggart or Reed, past and present leaders, etc etc.

As the adage goes, a picture (or, in this case, a cartoon) is worth a thousand words.
There have already been many thousands of words spewed here, I have just a few more for your consideration.

Racism, tribalism, "anti-otherism" has been a human problem since we first appeared on the planet. We're taught early on the be afraid of strangers, those who are different form us in any way. This teaching sticks, because each one of us is insecure in our own way (i.e., not sure we're good enough, if we will fit in, if we will be rejected) so we compensate for these feelings by lashing out and putting down the "others" in our lives to make ourselves feel better. And we do this on many levels - individual, family, community, race, nation, religion, etc.

Until and unless we ALL wise up and realize we are ONE HUMAN RACE all living on this
ONE and ONLY EARTH, we are doomed. This is true now more than ever, as we have cleverly developed weapons that can cause ultimate destruction. So, each individual must carefully consider how their thoughts and actions now and in the future will either contribute to or prevent this from happening.

Great Comic

Bluegal, John, et. al

I've been coming to and commenting on C&L for years now. I love this place, but lately I don't recognize it. Yes I know we have passoniate supporters from both the Obama and Clinton camps and that's as it should be -- but lately the "conversation" has turned.

And it got me to thinking

Is more than just the Democratic open primaries being gamed? Are our blags being gamed too? Republicans playing like they are Democrats and for candidate X and being to say the most outragous things to piss the supporters of candidate X off -- and visa versa

Are they working on dividing and conquering so we get so pisssed off with the other half of our party that bruised and battered feelings keep us from coming together and voting to keep the REAL opposition, one that will moste assuredly take us further down the road to hell, McCain, out of POTUS.

It seems like our blogs are falling with this vitriol, that becomes self supportive after the mischief of the gaming has begun, that seems to have become ever more ramped up since McCain became their nominee . . .

It's just a thought - but wow I don't recognize this place anymore.

Although I am a huge Obama supporter, I have always felt that racism in America, it's dirty little secret, will never ever ever ever allow a black president. I feel the same still. Which is so tragic. Here is a possibility we could have someone who may be smart enough to extricate us from the abyss we are in, and they are determined to destroy Obama. I have always felt America's deepest flaw was its refusal to be criticised and told the truth about anything. Their arrogance is monumental and fatal. I feel the same today and it is our downfall. Charlie Rose had an Iraq anniversary special tonight in which the consensus was that the Americans have fucked things up so completely in Iraq -- they just haven't the faintest idea what they are doing--and the Americans do not hear that because they don't want to hear that.. I love America and it breaks my heart to see us self destruct. Not only are we reviled throughout the world, but even if Obama wins the presidency (our last hope and fantasy) all countries will shun us. We are poison. The dollar will be (is)considered trash. They will manage without our "policeman of the world" myth status.

Your mileage may vary... high horses never seemed that fuel efficient in my humble opinion...

Off topic but,
I once witnessed an debate between William F Buckley Jr. and Gore Vidal. The oratory was impassioned and almost poetic. Buckley would thrust his point and Vidal would respond with the zeal of a new lover. so it went hour after hour argument after argument to finally both were spent. I only bring this up to make this point: even though the theatrics were fun to watch the mens grasp of the Oxford english Dictionary was too adept. I barely understood a word they said.
