I'm having a little birthday gig Saturday and was thinking for a gag about issuing each guest a towel and a head band and tell them we all have to face east and convert, but some might consider that in poor taste. So I won't. One of the funny (to me) incongruities in the Obama criticisms is that he is allegedly a Muslim and he attended an anti-white Christian church for 20 years, and the people saying it don't seem to notice the mutual exclusivity of the two.

I don't think any race is superior to another, but I'm old enough to admit that I have some racial biases based on an accumulation of race-related experiences. If that makes me racist, I'll live with it. I try to keep it in check.
