Is Barack Really a Magic Negro?

Since the song 'Barack the Magic Negro' was included in a compilation CD by conservative comedian Paul Shanklin, the question comes to mind 'Is Barack Really a Magic Negro?'. This CD was given to RNC members as a gift from Republican National Committee member Chip Saltsman. What were they thinking?

Back to the question at hand, is Barack really a magic Negro? I would have to say that I have not seen actual physical evidence of this as of yet. However, I never thought I would see a black President in my lifetime. (This was somewhat magical) Did I have too little faith in America or did I just witness magic in this last election cycle. Is it magic that he came from a single mom family and got elected as President of the United States?

The real magic will start on January 20, 2009. With the economy seemingly in the tank, will Barack be able to pull a rabbit out of his hat (or other hiding place)? Will he be able to keep the extreme left wing of his party happy when he ends up being more centrist and signs no meaningful legislation in the next two years? Will the press just magically keep accepting every explanation without investigation as they have done for the last year? That would be real magic.

I would say that I do not prescribe to the theory that Barack is a Magic Negro. However, he does have the potential to grow into the role. By the way I have a question that no one seems to want to answer, If Barack Obama is half black and half white why is he only referred to as black? Doesn't this seem a slight bit racist, the old theory that it only takes a little coffee to soil the cream. Why can't Barack be referred to as he is? A person of mixed race heritage. Will we ever get over race as a primary identifier? Can't a person's character and track record be the defining points of a person?

CIA Uses Viagra in War on Terror

Little Blue Pills Among the Ways CIA Wins Friends in Afghanistan

By Joby Warrick
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, December 26, 2008

The Afghan chieftain looked older than his 60-odd years, and his bearded face bore the creases of a man burdened with duties as tribal patriarch and husband to four younger women. His visitor, a CIA officer, saw an opportunity, and reached into his bag for a small gift.

Twitterfied

Have you been Twitterfied?

As you can see on my blog I have been inundated with Twitterations lately. I have gotten the Twitter bug with a vengeance. I find myself constantly looking for things to Twitter. Time to lean is time to Tweet. I have awakened to find myself a Twitter evangelizer. Even writing this post I have had to stop 3 times already to Twitter. Just today I was perusing TweetDeck and reading all the Tweets this morning and found an article on Top Twitter Apps in 2008 .
I promptly installed Tweetr that was mentioned in the article. (By the way Tweetr is a pretty cool Twitter app. It allows for uploading of files and it converts the url of the file into a short url, perfect for Twitter file sharing.) Just wish I could find one desktop app that has all the features that I want and one BlackBerry App that has full Twitter functionality for my new BlackBerry Storm.

Do you find yourself twittering more and more? Please feel free to comment if you do.
