MichaelH, I think what you're missing is Ken's implication that Bush was spinning (lying) when he said the whole nation cares, because his actions said otherwise.
On New spin tempers old rhetoric
Ken, the Morning Joe show must be pretty content-free if the thing that rang your bell was the gossip girl.
familyguy, the image of the dancers Alonzo described is not an argument for your ideals, is it?
It's an obvious appeal to bigotry, bypassing ideals and legislative positions completely.
Great column, Alonzo. I'd forgotten about Lonesome Rhodes.
Judging from the comments, Sam Graves' ad is apparently successful at appealing to his bigoted base. Too bad he doesn't have any actual accomplishments to advertise.
What's new about this? Preachers, priests, bishops push their politics all the time. Good luck getting them to stop. Karl Rove made good use of them.
On Should politics be preached from the pulpit?
Pinning that first corsage was a memorable moment for a lot of us.

Mark Sheehan has been giving us interesting and engaging coverage of local politics for decades. Letting him go shows how little this newspaper cares about the community.
On Council members appear ready to give city employees raise
Better lay in a supply of blood pressure medicine, Alonzo. The racist rhetoric is really being cranked up by the Republican talkers - Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly etc. are pouring it on, trying to destroy Barak Obama before he's even won the nomination. Their goal seems to be to make *everyone* more cynical and mistrustful. It's going to be a long, ugly summer.
Thanks for bringing this fascinating book to our attention.
As a kid in the 60's I heard there used to be a "sunset" sign posted outside Smithville. It would be interesting to hear about how this came to be in one town but not another - in Plattsburg African-Americans were segregated, but not excluded altogether.
In some other country, we'd call it ethnic cleansing.
Alonzo,
Good advice about fact-checking those emails.
They still got you to publish the phony stats about military deaths through the years.
Snopes isn't the only place to check for misinformation.
Factcheck.org is another:
