BACK TO DISTRACTIONS

The conservative noise machine was unusually repetitive all last week.  I heard over and over and over again how upset liberals were over the rodeo clown in Missouri despite the fact that it barely made a ripple in liberal circles.  I also heard over and over and over again about Oprah Winfrey's claim about being discriminated against instead of anything about the real obscenity: A $38,000 purse.  Tonight, Billy Cunningham is still talking about how liberals are using claims of racism as a political weapon and I suspect Fats and Sean will still be talking about that tomorrow.
