Filed in Uncategorized by on April 3, 2008 13 Comments

So says Bill Clinton and so says Hillary Clinton and so says my (secretly) racist buddy. This friend is a liberal who I’ve known for years and had a lot of respect for until I found out that he, like Bill Clinton, does not hold black people in very high esteem because he knew an […]
