Once again, Prof Althouse reveals her racism and that of the entirety of the neocon movement with her obvious attempt to remind people of color to 'watch their step'(the gentleman of color sitting across the aisle is obviously a stand-in for President Obama).; 1/4/10, 7:23 PM

Notice how she framed the Obama stand-in (er, sit-in?): he's buffeted on both the the right and left by stern warnings: "Watch Your Step". I think Althouse is subliminally trying to tell us that she thinks Obama is a centrist.; 1/4/10, 7:36 PM

Anonymous said...: Get on the bus?! Nah... FUCK THE BUS! I'll walk, thank you very much, mostly because I don't want to worry about the socio-econo-politico aspects of where I am stepping...

Notice how 'ominously' the straps seem to hang over the heads of the colored people only.; 1/4/10, 7:59 PM

My New Year's diet is starting out horribly. Blew my targets to smithereens again. :(

lucid said...: Hey Ann--

You 've got to stop getting cross-linked to some of the places your blog has been going. The thread on the photo is really bringing down the level of the discourse around here. But it is revealing about the coarseness of some of the people you upset--to say nothing oftheir lack of wit.; 1/4/10, 9:27 PM

1) Bossy bus

2) Chicken thighs with orange and Dijon.

That is all.; 1/4/10, 10:11 PM
Scott said...: Hey lucid,

You should come around more often to bring the level of discourse up, and make it more granular. We need effite snobs who can teach us all how to talk in cliches.; 1/4/10, 10:30 PM

"Anthony Galluccio laps up wrist slap."
Oh? And does he wrist up a lap slap?

Embattled Galluccio gets 1 year in jail

State Sen. Anthony D. Galluccio was led away in handcuffs today, sentenced to one year in jail for violating the terms of his home confinement.

A judge sent the Cambridge Democrat off to jail after a full day of testimony over the senator’s failed Breathalyzer test Dec. 21.

Galluccio has blamed the bad test results on his toothpaste and had an expert witness testify today on other testing done after he flunked the home blood-alcohol exam.

But, Cambridge District Court Judge Matthew Nestor said he did not believe the senator’s story or any expert testimony.

“I’m satisfied that, in fact, the defendant ingested alcohol,” said Nestor from the bench. “He didn’t last a week. The suspended sentence is revoked.”

Galluccio must now serve out his term in the Cambridge House of Correction.; 1/4/10, 10:36 PM

Appropriately enough, you misspelled "effete."
