Oh No He Didn't

You knew it was coming (and if you didn't what have you been doing for the past six months?).
Obama says Republicans will use race to stoke fear
"We know what kind of campaign they're going to run. They're going to try to make you afraid.

"They're going to try to make you afraid of me. He's young and inexperienced and he's got a funny name. And did I mention he's black?"

Uh huh. Alright Mr. Post Racial Hope and Change. It was only a matter of time before we started the getting vote for me or you're a racist type of messages from Obama. The fact of the matter is that Mr. Obama is a political lightweight claiming to be above "politics as usual" who is really just inept at playing the political game. Obama has even managed to alienate members of his own party with his race issues,
Why Clinton voters say they won't support Obama
They are mad that everyone believes them to be old, white and racist. They are mad at the people they thought were supposed to be progressives for treating them badly.
Via Instapundit.

How exactly is it transcending race to claim that your political opponent is going to use your race against you (the way Mr Obama is trying to use the race of potential voters and Mr McCain against them) in an election? This is just the same old baseless race baiting nonsense that has had this American rolling her eyes for years.

Did Rev. Wright ever preach any sermons on bearing false witness against one's neighbour? If he did Mr. Obama must not have been paying any attention then either.

As to Mr. Obama's wife,
He said he was also set for Republicans to say "he's got a feisty wife," in trying to attack his wife Michelle.

There is a great American tradition of holding people accountable for the things they say. The American people will challenge Mrs. Obama, the same way they challenge Mr. Obama, when she inserts herself into the political arena. If you don't like it perhaps you should find something else to do.

Rise Up In The Darkness

The teenager who joked with me over physics and algebra homework tonight was 6 months old the morning of September 11, 2001. He spent that day like many other 6 month olds spend their days, exploring his world and being saved from his own curiosity by mom. That morning after I got tired of hauling him back from the edge of the bed he was intent on crawling over I took him downstairs to safer level terrain. I turned on the television to check the news like I did every morning back then. At first I was horrified by what I saw. One smoldering tower. Not long after, while all the reporters and newscasters were struggling to make sense of what they were seeing, one plane, another tower, and I was pissed. At that point I understood what was happening. Why did people think, and still think, that kind of wretchedness served their cause? I didn't care what the cause was. These were arrogant fools. But the news kept coming about just how wretched humanity had been to itself that day. The

Treating autism as traumatic brain injury

By
I've been doing research into autism, dyspraxia, how the normal brain works, and how an autistic/dyspraxic brain works (or doesn't work). Traumatic injury to different parts of the brain can cause the same problems suffered by autistic and dyspraxic children. Compare this list of the functions of different parts of the brain and the problems caused by injuries to those areas with these descriptions of dyspraxia and autism. What is Developmental Dyspraxia? Developmental dyspraxia is a disorder characterized by an impairment in the ability to plan and carry out sensory and motor tasks. Generally, individuals with the disorder appear "out of sync" with their environment. Symptoms vary and may include poor balance and coordination, clumsiness, vision problems, perception difficulties, emotional and behavioral problems, difficulty with reading, writing, and speaking, poor social skills, poor posture, and poor short-term memory. Although individuals with the disorder may b

Battlestar Galactica needs more colour?

By
Here are the letters I mentioned in the previous post. The one that started it (I'm guessing these letters were written after the show's first airing at the end of 2003): Galactica Needs More Diversity The problem I had with Battlestar Galactica was there were no major and very few minor African American characters. There were no Black men in the show at all or if they were, they had virtually no screentime. In the original series, Boomer and Tigh were both played by African American actors. In this rendition of Battlestar, those characters were played by Asian and White actors. In the Caprica city, there no African American extras. On the Galactica's bridge, there was only one African American actress. Another Black actress could be found playing a religious official that swore in the new President of the colonies. This was very troubling to me. Do you not want African Americans to watch your show? Do you want to project the idea that African Americans are not part of the
