Eeeexactly. I was thinking of writing anus, but I remembered before i typed it that my sphincter still works. If I could, I would totally make it leak so you’d be right. Sorry

I can read transcripts Anniee, same as you. And it’s generally funny…
As ‘Main stream media’ well, if you don’t think a strung out bloaty fat man isn’t mainstream media, I don’t know what you’re defining as ‘mainstream’
He’s certainly mainstream enough to be able to buy his way out of a drugs rap…

And how would you know what Limbaugh says if you despise him so much? Main stream media telling you what to think again? Read everything, become politically aware and draw your own conclusions. Ad hominem attacks are so Bush era.

Amen Annie! I’ve never seen an angrier individual than Michelle Obama. Talk about bad attitude! Condi, on the other hand, is cool, classy, and cultured – three things that Michelle Obama will never be if she lives to be 100.

Both women look good, end of story. Condi could easily afford braces,
so it’s obvious that she’s cool with her diastema. (I personally love those
things.) Michelle has great arms and wonderful brow line.

Both women are in great shape, are well educated and have done well
in their careers. The nature of Rice’s work and the length of time she
has been on the national stage have drawn more opinionated comments
about her than Obama’s career/exposure have drawn about her (so far).
That’s the big difference I see between the two.

@death by kewt: nothing wrong with being inexperienced. I have found that that is easily corrected by paying attention. Well, that and the
occasional apology for foot-in-mouth syndrome… But the occasional serving of humility has been good for me, I think??

Meh, so you claim. *I* said Dr. Zaius. I’d think Lucius was more of an actual GORILLA but I didn’t call her that. I also didn’t call her Zira. Why? Because she didn’t look like Zira or Lucius in that picture. As to Obi-wan, he doesn’t look like any of them but he does look like Curious George. You act as if those apes were interchangeable – please, have some respect. Hands-down the most chimp-like people I have seen in my adult life (besides my grandfather) are the Oleson Twins – we called them nothing but “monkey-girl” from the time that show started, and I never found them cute in the slightest.

On the other hand, the Obama girls don’t look monkeyish at all, and neither does Condi Rice (who is very pretty, IMO). So…what’s all this hoopla about monkeys anyway? You seem fascinated by it. It’s weird.

And what does it have to do with what I said, which was that I personally didn’t know about Michelle’s stupid paper, but I have seen Hillary lie about her own when she compared marriage and the family to slavery and reservations. Then got away with denying she’d ever said it. Disgusting, really.

@ACSIS: You are definitely right there. I never had any friends
of color until I got to college — there just weren’t any black people
around! My parents and my friends and their parents aren’t racists
either; I don’t remember seeing anything like this on TV or at
the movies, and if I did it went over my head, I guess. I read
plenty of books, since we didn’t have cable often, but I really can’t
recall black people=monkey at all. I assumed everyone was
discussing this because of her skin color, but the historical references
are new to me. I’m glad I’m taking a diversity class next
semester.
1,250 is more people then we had in my town!

These links were as much for Anniee as for you.
Edumacation is a good thing! (Simpsons reference in case you didn’t get that…)

I grew up in the ’60s so it was all much more a part of my life than I’m guess it has been of yours. And my HS graduating class was > 1,250.

(Ack. I can’t make this work right, so I hope it’s not full of typos)
I’m just getting started on this science thing, and I’m really looking forward to learning more specifics and reading about some of the less-than-stellar science going on.
Incidentally, I just finished reading “Stiff- The Curious Life
of Human Cadavers” by Mary Roach.
I was hooked from the opening line: “The way I see it, being dead is not terribly far off from being on a cruise ship. Most of your time is spent lying on your back”

I’ve run into some ‘lovely’ things like that in the history of science…stuff which somehow never made it into my SCIENCE courses’ examinations of history as a biology major! –like using anatomy to ‘prove’ that women were inferior and child-like, or the whole ‘northern europeans are superior’ thing. Interesting stuff…if scary!

Arrgh, here’s the whole excerpt as I meant to include it:
.
Rev. Payne then broke it down scientifically: “[W]e take up the monkey, and trace him … through his upward and advancing orders – baboon, ourang-outang and gorilla, up to the negro, another noble animal, the noblest of the beast creation. The difference between these higher orders of the monkey and the negro is very slight, and consists mainly in this one thing: the negro can utter sounds that can be imitated; hence he could talk with Adam and Eve, for they could imitate his sounds.”

“The Negro: What Is His Ethnological Status?”
Written by Ariel (aka Rev. Buckner H. Payne of Nashville, Tenn.).

@ ACSIS: I get the stereotypes portrayed on the second image;
I’ve heard and been witness to “chicken, watermelon and
kool-aid” but I honestly was unaware monkey was used as a
slur. I’ve heard lots of them, just none simian in nature.
Thanks.
