A letter worth reading
There is a worthwhile Diary up over at DKos (AKA the GOS) by attytood about Shirley Sherrod’s life story and details emerging that make what she has said and done pretty amazing. You may have heard that in 1965 her father, Hosie Miller, was killed by a white farmer over a cow. That it was rural Georgia in 1965 meant that nobody was ever charged with the crime.
As a result of his murder, his wife, Grace Hall Miller became a civil rights activist and turned his home into a center for organizing for justice and his daughter, Shirley Sherrod, decided to stay in the South and fight to make it a better place. It was this background that made her surprised when years later another white farmer came to her for help. Her speech was about her journey that overcame the climate of racism that killed her father and still infects so many today.
The Diary links to a 2007 letter written from the Southern Poverty Law Center that asked the FBI to investigate the unsolved murders of 74 African-Americans who, like Ms. Sherrod’s father, never had their killers brought to justice.
So Wrong, But So Incredibly Awesome

I’m thinking of what I can train my girls to react to in the future.
This Is It?
So basically, Tucker Carlson’s vanity project is now reduced to bitching that liberals were happy that Obama won? That’s impressive. Wonder how much venture capital that scoop cost.
For the record, I was out of town for work, and if I remember correctly, my traveling partner and I got snot-hanging drunk as mean old man McCain and the Wasilla Wingnut were sent packing. I may have even shed a tear. And if you read the true progressive websites, I’m just a dirty former Republican, and that is how much it moved me!
Christ. These people are just losers.
In other news, the National Review Online was happy when Bush won in 2004.
As I’ve Noted on Twitter
I’m not on any email lists, but I will not lose any sleep if these people set themselves on fire:

I’m sure this is where I’ll be told I’m being divisive. Also, Fox is a sister news organization…

I think I need a cigarette.
Of course, flaming Obama probably is good for poutrage fundraising.

Paypal is Pissing Me Off
Any other paypal users being required to upload a copy of their SSN, photo id, and other various shit?
I’m wondering if this is some new hoop I have to jump through since I lost my wallet a month ago and requested a new paypal card, or new regulations that they just decided to hit me with. Hey assholes- I lost my wallet. I have no social security card atm.
