A friend and sometimes reader says he finds some of my political humor offensive. Well, the truth is, almost nothing I write about politics is intended to be humorous. For instance, I seldom see Baby Barry as a subject for wit. I call him a baby, not to try to be funny, but because he has almost no experience, political or otherwise. Only the Democrats, who have thoroughly shamed themselves since 9/11, would be callous enough to nominate an empty suit like him primarily for his race.

Indeed, like Rick Moran, I find a lot of what BB does and says to be creepy: His "royal we" talk, the changing of the presidential seal, his radical (ACORN) background and radical (Ayers) and racist (Wright) friends and mentors, the speaking as if he was already president, and the way ** everything he does is a press release. I also agree with Ms. Ferraro who was shouted down when she said he wouldn’t be where he is today if he was white. That’s so obviously true. But, in the end, I guess I do find him hard to take very seriously. This, for instance, doesn’t surprise me. I’ve never believed he could win. Americans are too smart to put him in the White House.
