  coulrophobic,

  I listened to some of these clips. It's pretty clear to me that Obama is reading from his book--perhaps for the benefit of people who can't or don't want to read?

  He is not giving a speech. He is not expounding his theory of race. He is describing the…

  goodDonkey,

  Very nice post. I realize that you aren't interested in people sharing your viewpoints. Nonetheless I basically do.

  I think there may be some toxic people in the world. Charles Manson comes to mind. So does General Pinochet. But someone earlier, here I believe, made the point that people…

  All I can say is that, if it were me and the bonuses and so on were in my contract and if they were standard in the industry, I'd take the money. I expect that I would have done my best to earn the compensation. I also suspect that I…

  I think the reason we don't see a debate is that Americans don't really want a debate. In general, I think we want an exchange of opinions on a smorgasbord of issues. And we want to see blood.

  At least it seems that blood is what a lot of the…

  goodDonkey,

  If you mean that I would better have chosen a living example, I think you have a good point. Now, do you have a substantive one?

  CavemanLawyer,

  Yes, I understood that you meant "should" have given up the land. My comment was that they "would not" have done so willingly. I think "should" invokes an action that appeals to a concept of the best thing to do. I think "would not" recognizes that there might be…

  Idaho. Admitted to the Union in 1890. Less than 1% black population.

  Yes, McCain and Obama are from where you say. I don't know why you think no one cares about Biden. If the criteria about state size and personal primary election popularity matters, Delaware is larger than Alaska…

  Nessie,

  I think Palin's experience with slavery or non-slavery is beside the point. However, I don't think her experience or non-experience of black culture is beside the point.

  Additionally, I don't think I would say that Wright is toxic. But that's just me. I wouldn't say that about Ahmadinejad or…

  coulrophobic,

  What are you talking about?

  There were 33 states in the US when the Civil War broke out and one of the big issues that caused the war was the national disagreement over whether new states had to be matched with a slave state and a free state. The…

  Nessie (wherever you are),

  Now I think it's safe to talk about witchcraft--unless of course the text of the article changes, as sometimes seems to happen.

  I'm not sure what Palin meant when she said that whether or not to talk about Wright would be McCain's call. Did she mean…
