Hmm... Randall Robinson, the Guardian, and Reuters. Anyone care to guess what all three have in common?

Some of the rumors of rape and child-murder are looking like urban legends.

Yeah, but the cannabalism stories are still true, right?

It's time to raise the Sullivan warning. Have you been to his site lately? He's buying and peddling the 'blame Bush' storyline with some seriously over-the-top hysterical rhetoric.

But with Sully, what else is new?

"Yeah, but the cannabalism stories are still true, right?"

Hey, I was hungry, okay? Get off my back.

"Anyhow, I chowed down on a cracker, dammit. Probably a Klansman."

In regards to Human Events Online and the part about racisim- do you think the fact that black voters have been trending away from the dhimmicrats these last few years has anything to do with the type of coverage the MSM (especially CNN) has been giving Katrina's fallout? Those poor black victims of slow federal response (read: Republicans) that cover the news are being played up for reason.
And of course, the Black Democratic Caucus, Jesse, and Al (amongst others, including our 'allies' in Europe) are making it sound like the man is keepin' black folk down yet again.
As far as the interview Soledad O'Brien did with Duh Mayor, it played on the Bay Area news station that she came from (KRON, formerly an NBC affiliate) last night, with the newscasters looking very stern-faced and serious afterward.
How could they keep a straight face?!

Well, I'm very glad that cannibalism story finally got shot down - I was worried that racist canard of 'blacks love human flesh' was gonna rear it's ugly head again.

Dr. Reo:

...especially since all of the really famous cannibals in recent years in the US have been white guys. Mike Tyson doesn't count, he didn't even finish that one guy.

I blame the shortage on a lack of good anthropophagic role models for young black men.

LLMSM? I'm assuming that means "Left-Leaning Mainstream Media", right? I never got the acronym update.

Really, you gotta send that acronym update out once a week, like revised missile codes or something. The world changes too quickly for me to keep up.

I am most outrageously pissed. Randall Robinson is well known, has been around for years, is taken as somewhat of an expert on race relations. How DARE he make such a virulent claim in print without checking it out first to see if and how it's sourced? It's one thing if a Kanye West type makes ridiculous statements--um, if you take a rapper seriously it's your own problem. But someone of Robinson's stature? Anyone who believes a single word that proceeds from his mouth or word processor in the future is a dunce.

Here's the alternative version of what happened:

FLASH: WorldNetDaily columnist Mychal Massie reads Ace. Or maybe I should say, reads "Dave in Texas" from Ace's comment section:

"Dave in Texas" put it in context saying: "To blame the chaos on a lack of immediate response is to completely misunderstand how severe and thoroughgoing the damage really is. There is one passable highway into N.O. right now, and only helicopters can get in and out. National Guard troops are arriving in force, but they are hampered by the same natural barriers as everyone else: twenty feet of filthy water and sludge stretching across what used to be a major metropolitan city." (Ace of Spades HQ Sept. 1, 2005)

I said that?

In light of the word "looting" being determined un-PC, if some of the rape and child-murder turns out to have actually happened, what should we call it? Maybe "sex of undetermined consentaneousness" and "postnatal termination"?

Van -- I believe the correct labels are (1) undocumented shopping; (2) undocumented intimacy; and (3) undocumented nurturing.

Dave, that's "Liberal Legacy MSM"
"Legacy" being computergeekese for "obsolete"

As a citizen of New Orleans I abhor the implication that the city is a haven for cannibalism. It is well known that we now have the problem relatively under control, and that it is Mississippi which now suffers the largest casualties in this area. And what do you think the Alabamans ate last weeked. Arabs?

Yours etc.

Ahh a news paper wont let them use the word looters of looting why so they wont upset the liberal nit wits?

etienne, excellent Python paraphrase.

If by "Paraphrase" you mean "Cut and paste and switched out a couple of key words", then thanks.

I mean really, it seems such an obvious connection, I'm really disappointed in the rest of you for not hitting on it earlier.

I thought the LLMSM referred to the lying liberal mainstream media, but the options are numerous.

Other "L" words that come to mind are lacky, lame, lost, loving (as in liberal loving), and loony, but I am sure there are plenty more that would fit.

As soon as some high profile lib reporter's car or vid gear gets "taken" it will become "looting" again.

Tony:

Like the saying goes, a liberal is just a conservative who hasn't been mugged yet. I can hardly wait for some stud or studdess reporter to get their mugging. And then cry about it.

I'm just disappointed that no one has mentioned The Big Bus. I mean, am I the only person who has seen that movie?

Argh; didn't pay enough attention during preview. The entire quoted part was supposed to be

Sorry for screwing up the blockquote. But not for mentioning The Big Bus.

Ha! It's not my fault! It looked fine in the preview!

OK, not paraphrase.

How about: "repurposing". Has a nice bureaucratic feel to it.

I could also say something about postmodern/pastiche art theory, but then I'd have to kill myself.

Andy Sullivan.... hmm.. Sullivan...?
Nope, doesn't ring a bell - no, wait... I think someone by that name tried to scam me out of money a while back- I think he was also crying hysterically about an elected official he used to like.
Seemed kinda pathetic, so I passed.

Oh, you're no fun anymore!

If there is a god, I have one modest request - please make it Geraldo.

People would pay good money to see Geraldo get stomped and robbed. We could do a PPV and use the money for relief.
