So this is how liberty dies ... with thunderous applause.

Where is the Benadryl?

My skin is still crawling by some people.

While sitting in the barber shop yesterday with my kids, we were watching political coverage on MSNBC.

I had to bite my tongue and almost choked on it when Chris Matthews made the comment that the reason Democrats couldn't take a Southern state was because we wouldn't vote for someone "who talked differently" than we do.

I'm getting pissed off right now just thinking about that comment. A lib friend of mine, who is also black, called about that time and he could tell something was wrong by the sound of my voice. I told him what I just heard on TV and he sputtered for a minute, too. He couldn't believe he said it. Chris Matthews just insulted each one of us in the South by insinuating that we are so stupid that we can't make up our minds on issues. We just want someone who sounds like us. What a putz. I hated him before, but, if it is possible, I hate him more now.

    That was pretty much the way I felt about it, too.

    He's just being a fussy little cunt because his man lost. Trying to find someone to blame. If you look at the election results by county, you can see that region has little to do with it.
