Yea, I get what you mean. When the priest kept mentioning Obama's race in his pray I had to cringe every time. I was hoping he wouldn't focus too much on it. On another note, I'm so glad that Obama made it a point to use his full name whenever he mentioned himself, his middle name being a muslim name.

The priest's tacky and tasteless "prayer" would only be the tip of the iceberg. What the crowd actually believes has come about is a great deal more telling of the problem of racism in America.

I liked that, too: it was a cold, hard slap in the face to all those morons who tried to use it against him. :applaud: :victory:

At this point, it wasn't like there was any risk at all for him to do it. Hardly an episode of "Profile in Courage".

True, but I'm glad it was done nevertheless.

I could use some fresh luck.

Are you talking about that show The Biggest Loser?

What's sadder than those morbidly obese people is a show that exploits their plight. :shakehead:

Some observations in SF today:

Why do some women wear skin-tight stretch pants with no underwear? Most women wear those over sized shirts to cover their behinds, but this one woman was so plump back there that there was no way her shirt was going to cover her butt. I swear I was just an innocent bystander.

I also saw people risking their lives to run across market street just to get a sample of the new red bull cola drink. One guy ran across traffic, twice, dodging honking cars. Every time I try to renew my faith in humanity, mass stupidity always ruins it. Why people, why?

This one may be obvious: don't feed the birds in Union Square. I had my picture taken by some giggling tourists while I was trying to defend my pizza box from a flock of overaggressive pigeons and numerous smaller birds that swarmed down from the trees, buildings, and probably the sewer. I thought I was on the set of the new Birds movie.

Not that one but another. Terrible how they are exploited yet the coverage makes it possible for them to get the surgery. :sweat:

The worst thing I think is the people who keep feeding them all that awful stuff as they grow fatter and fatter. :shakehead: :shakehead:
And they say they love them?

Anyway best to stay the same and diet a little alot. :victory:

i'm afraid the press here in the uk are mainly interested in celeb gossip so i tend to watch it rather than read about it. :beaten:
