don't you dare call my buddies biased. They don't have to play by the
same rules? I don't think so. What I find fascinating is to read how
MSNBC claims the Tea Party is racially biased and if you look at their
news staff it is about as white as you can get - last I saw they had
zero other than white people on theri main news staff but they were very
quick to call the Tea Party racially biased. Seems to me that if you
are going to point fingers you should remember that one finger is point
at the other guy and 4 are pointing back at you.
